I hate when media does inspiration porn stories in general, but particularly when:

  • They let a newly disabled person with tons of internalized ableism become "the voice of disabled people"

and

  • When that "success story" clearly came from access to therapeutic supports the average person doesn't have, yet now everyone who doesn't meet their standard of recovery "must not be trying hard enough". @disability

@disability I mean, "I've always taken the approach of, ‘I don't want to let this limit me. I'm still going to just live life and push through any struggle that this might be.’ So I never really saw myself as ‘disabled,’ so to speak. It never crossed my mind that I could potentially classify for the Paralympics.”" is a dead giveaway as the internalized ableism.

Just to show how fucked-up YouTube's algorithm is, it just pushed Rep. Stefanik's channel at me. I've never shown any interests in that direction.
