ABLEISM IS DISCRIMINATION AND SOCIAL PREJUDICE AGAINST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

ABLEISM CHARACTERIZES PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AS INFERIOR TO THE NON-DISABLED

No one says a Toyota driver is "sedan bound."

Nor do the label a Schwinn rider as "confined to a bicycle." 

They are mobility devices. 

Just like a wheelchair. 

Wheels and efficiency. 

Zero difference. 

Yet there are millions of people who know better, yet slip into the hateful, ignorant inaccurate phrases "wheelchair bound, confined to a wheelchair."

To speak pejoratively of wheelchair mobility is toxic ableism.
