Lateral ableism is when disabled people are ableist towards other disabled people. So, if someone on SSI says they deserve Medicaid but those who haven't successfully gotten SSI don't. It's also really hard to get SSI.
People need to be reminded that a disability is the only identity that can happen at ANY TIME.
When they’re thinking my disabled sister shouldn’t get benefits, they should remember that their spouse, parent or child can become disabled by simply crossing the street and getting hit by a car

I'm so tired of playing these games.
To which I say
1) a judge found him disabled
2) invisible disability is still real
3) someone will feel the same way about you.
