Restricting disability benefits kills disabled people. So if you’re advocating that we make the system harsher, harder, more inaccessible, less “generous”… You’re advocating for killing disabled people.

Far too many people resort to sexualising literally everything… It’s super immature and quite pathetic really. No, a body isn’t inherently sexual. No, clothes aren’t inherently sexual. No, we shouldn’t be sexualising children’s bodies. No, gender identity isn’t sexual.

Making a system like disability benefits harder to “defraud”, absolutely makes it harder for disabled people to get that support that they need. And actually, it does very little to address the “fraud”… and almost exclusively harms the most vulnerable

Under the current PIP criteria, if you are able to put something into the oven, but not able to actually clean up after preparing it, you don’t get anything… So you can apparently cook without support even if you have to do it in a dirty kitchen.

For some people, out of work benefits are a vital temporary safety net. For others, they are the only option someone has to live.

New post: LABOUR'S SECTION 28 IS HERE - ACT NOW. I explain how the Labour government's proposed revisions to the guidance on "keeping children in education" are designed to erase trans children in England. But it's not a done deal - there is plenty we can do to oppose this.

Benefits are the money of the person receiving them, to spend however they need and choose to. All benefits should be seen as fundamental entitlements for anyone who qualifies.

The researchers found that there was no evidence "to justify blanket bans" and called for policies to "remain dynamic, guided by evolving evidence and ethical imperatives"

Another study has found new evidence that Trans+ athletes have little competitive advantage, concluding there is no evidence “to justify blanket bans”.
A comprehensive study of over 5,000 Trans+ athletes, has found that trans women likely do not have athletic advantages over cisgender women after undergoing hormone therapy. Published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, it found that while trans women’ showed higher levels of lean mass than cis women.

The significantly positive economic multiplier of disability benefits is proof that they aren’t too “generous”, or “easy to get”. Because I t’s proof that disabled people spend their disability benefits… they don’t hold it, they don’t save much… it’s spent as they need it.

If someone is assessed as unable to work due to disability, they should receive a minimum of a liveable income. It’s not their choice, they can’t change their circumstances, so they should not be punished. This should not be controversial.

A huge unsung army in the UK is all the unpaid carers who keep the health and social care system afloat whilst being paid a maximum of £2 per hour for it (reality a lot less). All the disabled people who keep local and national businesses going. Without them, society collapses.

If a child doesn’t feel able or safe to tell their parents something, believe them. They may be misguided… But they might not be. I’d rather be wrong, than see a child get abused because their parents have been told. A pissed off parent is preferable compared to an abused child

Think this is pretty common for us disabled folk… but the worse I feel, the more “stupid” stuff I do. It’s distraction, plus a “fuck it I’ll feel shit anyway” sort of thing, I think… mixed with not giving a shit any more.

Everyone’s body is different. Everyone’s brain is different. What works for one, won’t work for another. “Health” is subjective, and being “healthy” means different things to different people. It’s also a huge privilege if you have your health, and don’t live in constant pain.

Something that isn’t talked about much is the hollow, shaky, flu-like symptoms you get after a bad pain flare. Just feeling absolutely shit, lifeless, and devoid of all motivation or ability to do anything.

Cutting benefits for those assessed as unable to work, clearly isn’t about “supporting people to work”. It’s about punishing the most vulnerable. The most vulnerable disabled people are being killed.

If you ask a disabled person what helps, and they say “I don’t know”… It’s not because they are being annoying, it’s because they probably genuinely don’t know what helps at that moment in time. We might know something is off, but we don’t always know what to do about it

“But rich people create the jobs” Yeah so they can get everyone else to do the work whilst they profit and pay their employees poverty wages. If those at the “bottom” of the job ladder don’t work, nothing else would ever get done. Even the “worst” job should pay enough to live

When I’ve been in hospital, I’ve always been super grateful when given a side room. However it does worry me how much more you’re essentially ignored and forgotten about when in one… It’s better to rest, but the staff need to check up on you more regularly than they do imo.

If someone cannot work… Punishing them with poverty won’t change that. No amount of “support” will change that. Trying to force them into work won’t change that. Because they can’t work. (Poverty/punishment isn’t a motivator even for those who could work, by the way)

“How did people manage before WFH” Many didn’t. Many couldn’t work. Many did work but were so exhausted that they had no lives. Many didn’t spend time with their children. Many had to spend a lot more money on transport, carers, etc… It’s called choice and progress.

Eco-ableism is assuming public transport is accessible for all. Completely banning cars. Having supermarket fridges with doors that open outwards. Banning animal products. Shaming folk for using single use plastics when they have to. Etc. Disabled folk shouldn’t be left behind.

For many clinicians, their worst fear is a patient becoming addicted to a medication. For many patients, our worst fear is having to live out lives with unbearable symptoms that could be better managed with that medication.

This sickens me so deeply because anyone who knew young people and their families within the trans community knew this was true. Could viscerally feel the damage that has been done to a whole generation. And the instinct from Labour was not to address the harm – it was to cover it up. Unforgivable.

When you spend nearly all your time at home and can’t go anywhere or do anything, the things many call “conveniences” or “nice to haves” actually become necessary to keep going, and to keep sane. It’s horrible feeling imprisoned in your own body.

Saying no to some/any/all treatments or interventions, is just as valid of an option as saying yes to one/some/all. And we can’t judge others for what they decide based on what we would do ourselves. It’s their body, their consent.

Yes, exercise can be harmful and dangerous for some people. So binary statements about exercise being “good” or “healthy” for everyone, are harmful and dangerous.

The Motability scheme was already becoming an affordable for many, due to the fact that car prices have outstripped inflation significantly. Now VAT is being added to upfront payments, it’s going to get even worse, and more disabled people will suffer.

One thing that is sadly very clear, is how many people were just waiting for an excuse to openly support far right, backwards movements and views. They never actually cared about progress. For too many it was only ever performative. Fascism never went away, it just went hiding.

The biggest barrier that many disabled people face when it comes to employment, is that they are disabled and unable to work. Not every barrier can be overcome.

Genuinely think that the reason many people aged 40+ are lurching to the far right is due to Social Media algorithms… They get a feed so curated, that they think it’s the only form of reality… becoming ignorant to everything else. Not excusing it, but it is a potential reason

Disabled people deserve love, support, compassion, respect, and care. Disabled people deserve enough to live, whether they can work or not. Disabled people aren’t the problem, and they’re not the reason you are struggling financially, or that the country is going to shit

I’m glad cancer is getting the attention, support, and (at least a good amount of the) funding for research/treatment it deserves… I just wish all conditions got the same level of support. So many are left behind because they don’t have a “buzzword” condition.

Another thing that these “think tanks” always fail to mention, is the tax-free pension contributions you have when you’re working… that your employer matches. This can add up to 10s/100s of thousands in savings for retirement that disabled folk who can’t work, won’t have.

The way so many people think you just go to the doctors and get some help. Too often people are overlooked, ignored, dismissed (especially true for women), professional egos get in the way, and even at best you can be waiting years before you get any answers.
