[Brooke Winters tweeted: “As a disabled person I don’t want to be told I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I want to know that what I can do is good enough.”]

I really needed to hear this. I just had someone say “don’t let your disability hold you back from doing somethings”. That’s not how it works. That’s not how it ever has worked.

I just want to take everyone who has ever said something like this, grab their shoulders, stare directly into their eyes for an uncomfortable length of time, and ask them in a low voice if they know what “disability” means.
