"We bear it, heavy, wherever we go. Ableism is the violence in the
clinic, in the waiting room, in the social welfare lines, in the
classroom, in the recess yard, in the bedroom, in the prisons, in the
streets. Ableism is the violence (and threat of violence) we live with
each day."

Content warning: Somewhat graphic discussion of violent attack on
disabled people; discussion of rape.

Cheers,
