Just because I loathe systems such as capitalism that reward antisocial and exploitative behaviours, it doesn’t mean I can’t have a nuanced take on language history and use. 😉
People don’t understand how expensive having a disability is, and all the little ways it messes with your existence beyond the medical symptoms themselves. It creates additional unnecessary stress and suffering. Like, just for a small insurance example, only being able to find one expensive insurance company willing to sell you travel insurance for a work trip and having to negotiate that with your employer’s HR department. Lucky I found that one company at all, I guess.
