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
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

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)
Well it can be, but I have to admit I've thought it in the context of my queerness and transness recently. And before that I've thought about it in the context of disability and neurodivergence. Maybe not complete and total separatism, but ive been in communities that are either entirely queer and trans, or a combination of neurodivergent and bodily disabled. Their existence was extremely important to me. They gave me room to breathe and just be myself. They provide a Nexus around which to organize and connect with each other. I don't want you or anybody else to have to hide or be walled off from society, but having an escape from the judgement and ignorance and just general shittiness seems worth it.
