if you're able to complete disability paperwork, then you're not disabled...

there's actually a fair amount of lawyers who specialize in getting people their disability rights, rather than let malicious compliance keep disabled people homeless and impoverished

if you're able to complete disability paperwork, then you're not disabled...

Sending this to my friend in a wheelchair. He's gonna be THRILLED to walk again!

i was making a joke bruh
but to be very accurate: this was about mental disabilities... as was op

I was riffing off your joke!

[Edit] Oh shit you got downvoted to hell for it. Sorry, I did not contribute to the dogpile I swear

ah well, jokes about disability are always going to get some knee jerk reactions...
but i did think you were mad at me :)

Your second statement makes that very clear but I'm guessing people didn't get that far.

Unfortunately there is some truth that if you have a qualifying (mental) condition you almost be definition are incapable of jumping through the hoops to actually be bureaucratically qualified.

there's a lot of truth to it.
i mean, it's almost completely true.
people at social security have been downright abusive to my brother, who has been qualifyingly disabled since about 15 years old...

I pulled my down vote after reading further and realizing your were making a joke. The problem is that I've met too many people who actually believe that.

Lmao this reminds me of this tweet

Hopefully more people see your convo with glimse and understand that this is a joke
