A lot of the leftists have decided we, the disabled people, are a burden well we consider them to be the burden thus i am declaring we shall never join the able bodied in any political project. The disability separatist movement will following the below principles and will only ever form alliance when said are adhered to

  1. Our worth won't be measured in desirability, we don't exist to please you and if you don't want to deal with someone then be silent and go on your way, just know that you'll never love someone different in ability and always consider them beneath you, you say "well I don't want deal with a child-like adult, that's doesn't mean I don't love someone" oh it sure does, you know what child means? Why is a child supposed to be 100% dependent on you? No you just care fulfilling the desires you were brainwashed into since birth.

  2. Our worth won't be judged by how much we can work, you will respect us even if someone are completely bedridden, we can take care of ourselves and we don't need able bodied people, we can care for each other, if we have an alliance it'll be fully autonomous and our organizations will never merge.

  3. We demand a separate electorate if we are to be part of any political body shared with able bodied, no disabled person will ever be represented by an able-bodied person.

  4. Our rights will not be put into question, if they are we demand separate autonomous territories which will have their own sovereignty, the moment you question why you should accomodate wheelchairs on public transport or why you shouldn't seats which accomodate smallest size people only, you're an enemy of the disabled people.

  5. Mandatory institutionalisation won't exist in any project we will be part of.

(A mod removed my previous post and mentioned I don't have to post it in badposting so I am glad they did and that I got to think over whether I want to post it in another community and I decided I did. This started as frustrated jesting because separatism is quite silly in my opinion but I just wanted to post it again, let me know mods of I made any mistake)

Welcome to c/disabled, an anticapitalist community for disabled people/people with disability(s).

What is disability justice? Disability justice is a framework of activism which centers disabled people of multiple intersections. Before participating in in this community, please read the Ten Principles of Disability Justice.

Do I count as disabled/a person with disability(s)? "Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Follow the Rules:

  1. This comm is open to everyone. However, the megathread is only open to people who self-identify as disabled/a person with disability(s). We center the experiences of disabled people here, and if you are abled we ask that you please respect that.
  2. Follow the principles of disability justice, as outlined in the link above.
  3. Zero tolerance for ableism. That includes lateral ableism. Ableism will result in a ban.
  4. No COVID minimization.
  5. Do not offer unsoliticed health advice. We do not want to hear about the wonders of exercise or meditation, thank you very much. Additionally, do not moralize health or "healthy choices".
  6. If posting an image, please write an image description for our blind/low vision comrades. (If doing this is inaccessible to you, DM one of the mods and we will help.)
  7. Please CW and spoiler tag discussions of ableism.
  8. When it comes to identify-first vs person-first language, respect the language that people choose for themselves. If someone wants to be referred to as a disabled person, respect that. If someone wants to be referred to as a person with a disability, respect that.
  9. Try to avoid using ableist language. It is always good to be mindful of the way language has been used to oppress and harm people.
  10. Follow the Hexbear Code of Conduct.

Let's kick back and have fun!

As of December 2025, there is a Matrix Chat Room that adheres to the same rules as the community. If you want to join, it is an invite only server. Just knock to join. Should you have trouble with the link, you can contact the mods for help: https://matrix.to/#/#Hexbear_Disabled_and_ND:matrix.org
