Falsely Accusing Poor Disabled People of Lying About Their Disabilities Gets Them Killed.

smallest-feeblest-boggart:

Society either criminalizes & dehumanizes disabled people, or accuses them of cheating the system. We are either second class citizens, or liars and thieves.

The accusations vary based on what is most likely to allow privileged parties to shirk the social responsibility of allowing disabled people to live and participate in society as equals human beings. The easiest way to turn the public against its minority citizens is to insist they are undeserving.

We are inconvenient. In their eyes this is an inexcusable crime.
