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:

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.
Follow the principles of disability justice, as outlined in the link above.
Zero tolerance for ableism. That includes lateral ableism. Ableism will result in a ban.
No COVID minimization.
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".
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.)
Please CW and spoiler tag discussions of ableism.
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.
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.
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

even if what you said was reasonable (which it isnt, reactionaries will distort criticism to fit their "anti woke 1.0 machine" no matter how you "smartly" do it) you immediately lose all credibility upon using the phrase "walk on eggshells" unironically lol, this is literally "anti woke 1.0 machine" rhetoric you are allegedly trying to prevent

walking into an oppressed community space that youve never interacted with and telling them how to form their criticism to appease reactionaries (and yes that is what you are doing) and expecting to be 1. taken seriously and 2. treated with upmost decorum is nonsense no matter if you are part of the wider group or not

im not really sure where i accused you of not belonging here? i guess you could interpret me saying "fuck off" as that but i wouldnt say thats me saying "you dont belong here" and more "stop bringing brazenly ableist nonsense to the disabled comm". and the last sentence of my last comment was just the same vibe, not a 1:1 comparison. (also the phrase "walk on eggshells" has just increased that vibe lol)

you can say youre not defending hasan if you want but that doesnt change the fact you went out of your way to tell other disabled people they need to "be careful about calling him out" for being ableist
