t of contexts it s also why laws like the americans with disabilities act often contain a piece that says that it s not just disabled people but people who are mistaken for disabled people who are protected what matters to make something ableism is not whether or not the person qualifies as biologically inferior whatever that means it s how people are treated based on that purported inferiority once you start to see the basic patterns involved in ableism you can see why it s behind core aspects of every other kind of oppression every form of oppression uses ableist ideas actions and concepts to further some of its most fundamental goals you re going to always have your oppressed group being ranked in a hierarchy based on ability and found wanting you re going to always have your oppressed group face some degree of medicalization you re going to always have your oppressed group treated in ways that disabled people are treated and the same sorts of reasons used to justify such treatment and unless you address these things you can t address the way your oppression plays out they happen in areas too central to how the oppression works you can t pretend the ableism doesn t exist and get rid of the whole oppression at the same time your form of oppression would be unrecognizable without ableism as a core feature you can learn a lot more about ableism by looking into what disabled people have already figured out about it if all you can find is lists of ableist words with people telling you that stupid is a slur or something you re not usually going to find much depth there whether or not you think stupid is a slur that s just not that fundamental to what ableism actually means and frequently that sort of shallow take on things is what you ll find if you just look up ableism but if you look into the hard core stuff within the zillion different branches of the disability rights movement you ll find a lot one of the best general introductions to modern disability rights thinking about ableism in general that i ve found is the book pride against prejudice by jenny morris there are tons of other entry points that s just one of the clearest from my perspective you don t have to agree with everything a disabled person says about ableism disabled people don t all agree with each other some disabled people seem to concentrate entirely on language and insist that it s the most important thing because it changes people s thoughts and changing people s thoughts changes their actions and so forth i think that s a dangerous misconception and i don t honestly care so much what people think as much as how they treat me if they think i m inferior and treat me with respect anyway then their thoughts are their business i d rather deal with someone who treats me with utter respect and calls me the worst ableist slurs i ve ever encountered imho retard and vegetable and empty shell are all up there than deal with someone who knows all the right words but treats me like shit other people have other ideas entirely about these things you get the idea we don t all agree you don t have to agree with all of us you can t possibly agree with all of us anyway a lot of times people embroiled in identity politics get really wrapped up in the idea that the oppressed person is always right about their oppression that s bullshit we can be as wrong as anyone however we have on average thought more deeply and for longer about our oppression than other people have so you can benefit from our experience when dealing with the way your own oppression takes the same shape as ours and what specific situation you re talking about will determine a lot about which disabled people you want to go to first want to deal with critiques of iq testing go to people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities first don t be fooled by stereotypes we have a long standing self advocacy community who have been developing ideas about this stuff for decades and there are also always general ideas about disability that can be applied across the board but in slightly different ways the idea of accessibility was once focused entirely on wheelchair access these days there s also a concept of cognitive access where interpreters in disability context used to concentrate entirely on translating between signed languages and spoken languages there are now interpreters who assist people whose speech is hard to understand and there are cognitive interpreters or english to english interpreters who interpret between the words and gestures of someone with a cognitive disability and the words and gestures of someone without a cognitive disability the social model like most aspects of mainstream disability theory was once only for physically disabled people and is now being applied to cognitively disabled people as well neurodiversity was once used in a context that was almost exclusively about autistic people and now it s about anyone with a neurocognitive disability understand i m not endorsing any of these concepts i hate some of these concepts i think some of them are misguided or dangerous or simplistic or all kinds of other things but i don t want to decide that for you i m just giving you resources as a jumping off point and you can make up your own mind hell i m not even that heavily into the idea of analyzing oppression in the way i ve done in this post i just think it s important and useful for someone to be doing it somewhere so that people can see the underlying issue here which is that you can t address your own oppression adequately without addressing ableism no matter what your oppression is whether you re also disabled or not so with all that in mind i want to give you some keywords for common disability communities or disability based ideas again none of this is an endorsement of any of these communities or ideas or the views contained within them they re just places to start looking i get frustrated when people say google things it s easy and then won t even tell you what to google most people don t even know enough about ableism to know that ableism is fundamentally about unequal treatment on the basis of real or purported biological and psychological characteristics most people who have heard of ableism have only heard of it in the contexts of word lists there s no way someone in that position is going to even know where to begin on google and it s unfair to have that expectation of people i m perhaps more sensitive to that kind of thing specifically because of understanding cognitive ableism and that s precisely the sort of situation where an understanding of ableism can be useful throughout any oppressed group i guarantee as you really learn what ableism is really learn the depths of it you will find concepts you can use in fighting your own oppression one more note about the keywords all of these communities and ideologies and intellectual traditions come from vastly different places all of them accept some forms of ableism and reject others that s pretty much inevitable some of them are groups of people formed together mostly by life experiences others are groups of people formed together mostly by shared diagnostic categories others are a mixture of both some like the concepts of developmental disabilities and psychiatric disabilities are more accidents of history than categories that have an automatic genuine meaning some like psychiatric consumers versus psychiatric survivors fall within the same broad category of people but differ based on how they interpret their own experiences which aspects of the medical system they accept and which aspects they reject but all of these are groups of people and ideas formed by groups of people who have formed significant ideas about the rights of disabled people within an ableist society while the faction wars can be absolutely infuriating at times the diversity among disabled people in terms of both life experiences and ideas about those experiences can be a great strength you can find really important ideas within every single one of these groupings without ever having to believe everything they say wholesale so here s a list of keywords you might find useful disability rights disability rights movement disability culture crip culture crip gimp self advocacy developmental disability self advocacy intellectual disability self advocacy learning disability self advocacy self advocates i dd self advocacy cognitive disability physical disability psychiatric disability

specific sign language here interpreting speech to speech relay ableism disablism ablism disableism disphobia handicapism cognitive ableism psychiatric ableism physical ableism i know i ve left plenty of people out and this is obviously centered on english speaking cultures but that s more than enough to start with if you re looking for specific ideas tailored to specific experiences then learn what these terms mean so that you can look up those experiences when you need to different movements and different parts of the same movement will give you very different ideas about the same problems and that can be incredibly useful so i hope by now i ve convinced you that not only is ableism about more than whether or not it s a slur to say the word stupid but it s a vital part of understanding any other form of oppression you might face i also hope i ve given you enough places to start that you can make a good start on finding any resources that might be useful to you in beginning to understand ableism and the experiences of disabled people in the world and again i guarantee that if you begin to truly understand what ableism is you will find the concept useful in contexts you never dreamed of if you ve made it this far thank you for listening i really appreciate it getting this idea out there means a whole lot to me even the parts of it i m not so sure i agree with it s stuff that someone needed to say so i said it 1 i m putting what would normally be an introduction down as a footnote just so it won t distract from anything in the actual post the post is far more important than the introduction so here s what i was going to write as an introduction this was an extremely difficult article for me to write i understand the underlying idea easily enough but to put it into words has taken me a long time and a lot of effort this is more abstract and intellectual than my posts tend to run but i felt like while a lot of disabled people alluded to this idea nobody was expanding it enough for nondisabled people with no connection to the disability community to understand it when i tried to tell people in short form they assumed i was saying something totally different than what i was saying so i developed these ideas until i could articulate them and then over the past six months or so i have worked very hard at writing them down i still barely finished in time for blogging against disablism day i wasn t actually sure i could finish in time for blogging against disablism day i m still shocked that it s happened at all this was the original post i intended to write for badd 2016 one that dealt with ableism as a whole rather than one particular disability experience i m very relieved to have finished it not least because i am always pigeonholed as an autism blogger i don t see myself as an autism blogger and it s frustrating to sometimes only be able to write posts that reference autism a lot autism is not my only disability it s not my central disability i don t exactly view myself as having one of those it s just a word that psychiatry coined for a bunch of people tat s become useful enough that i ve felt compelled to use it in certain circumstances but i find that even in disability contexts hell even in contexts with other autistic people the idea of autism begins to overshadow your personhood in a way that few other disability labels match in my experience nobody considers me a myasthenia gravis blogger and writes about my entire life and all of my ideas as if they can be encapsulated by the idea of myasthenia gravis but that s exactly what people do with autism i can write about things that have nothing whatsoever to do with autism and still get most of my responses back about autism it s kind of ridiculous but nobody questions it not even most autistic people so this year i really wanted my post to be about something that could not be tied back to autism like that i mean i m sure somebody somewhere will try but there s nothing about this post that is even remotely autism specific unlike my other two contributions this year there are lots of other posts i wish i could have made this year but i m going to rest happy knowing that i made this one post at least and i hope that it can serve as a resource for people who are just beginning to learn about how ableism affects oppressed people who are not themselves disabled because it does and it does so in specific predictable ways that are pretty consistent across every form of oppression and that s important and someone had to say all of this a lot of my posts in general seem to fall under the category of i couldn t find anyone saying the thing i wanted to find someone saying so i said it instead and this definitely falls into that category there s a lot of ideas contained within the post that i don t even necessarily agree with but that are necessary to the way the post is written so this is very much not a personal post and very much a post about a general idea that i think is important to communicate even the parts of it that i don t wholly agree with what other people take out of it is their business but i hope each person can find something useful there edited with blogpad pro filed under badd disability disability rights discrimination ethics eugenics groups of people hierarchies politics power
