Good people, I know that some of you are upset by the disability trolling I receive online. Your concerns are valid, and I appreciate you reaching out and sharing them with me. Thank you for your support.
Please know that Iโm okay. :-) My upbringing and experiences have prepared me to handle more than just ignorance. I understand that having an online presence comes with challengesโthis being one of them. Iโm prepared to handle it.
On the bright side, this brings awareness, and hopefully, with all of us being more mindful of these behaviors, we can collectively work to address them through information sharing and understanding.
Ultimately, I hope that online social spaces become more open and accessible so that more people with disabilities can participate.
Itโs important to me that everyone has the opportunity to exercise their fundamental human rights to freedom of expression, speech, and association.
Letโs keep on having good conversations and challenging each other intellectually! :-) ๐๐ฟ
