"...reading the book made me see how much progress I’ve made with banishing the insidious internalised ableism I used to harbour."
I love this! This is something I like to do with my own writing. I look back on blogs I wrote as I was beginning to cultivate an anti-racist practice or as I was first beginning to learn about Disability Justice. I also think a lot about the work I've done around internalized queer-shame. It's amazing how what we write can illuminate for us the depth and breadth of work we have done.
" reading the book made me see how much progress I’ve made with banishing the insidious internalised ableism I used to harbour. The older I get the more I understand that while this is an invisible change, it may just be the most important one, partly because it lays the foundations for everything else but actually mostly because it’s what makes individual disabled lives so much better." Yaaas this! I'm bolding the section makes individual disabled lives so much better. I feel this in my cells.
