"Offering" sterilization to pregnant ppl DURING or even right after labour is profoundly unethical. And still common for certain ppl.

One day, hopefully soon, this country has to face the enormity of its various sterilization programs/policies. Many, many stories to be told twitter.com/ozhibiiige/sta…

It's the same kind of smile that you learn as a disabled person that you're expected to give when therapists want to feel kind.

That's the smile you give when you know you'd better. Being forced to smile that way is profoundly dehumanizing. And we all do it.

The expression @HillaryClinton and @BarackObama’s and @MichelleObama's faces is one I've very familiar with as a disabled woman.

.@womensmarch addresses domestic violence, but not that disabled humans are twice as likely to be abused than non-disabled.

in fact, the only mention of disability in the @womensmarch is to mention that caretaking of the disabled should be considered "work."

being indigenous is more than blood, it's more than a fascination, more than a "spiritual" experience, or a claim to fame or standing
