Every post from @pacingpixie is useful and beautiful! I love this explainer on the social model of disability. It’s something I talk a lot about in my work. The social model of disability is about how our bodies interact with the inaccessible world. It’s different to the (ableist) medical model of disability, which suggests are bodies are broken and need fixing, and doesn’t take into account the barriers that (mostly) can and should be removed to allow us to participate equally in society. This is such a succinct infographic. Please go follow @pacingpixie and show her your support by sharing posts and buying her a coffee. You’ll learn so much! I promise, every piece of content she creates is as great as this one! 💜 Posted @withregram • @pacingpixie “I used to think that the social model erased the fact that I would experience pain etc regardless of society. It doesn't. If you fancy reading more, I'll add some sources in the comments. 💜 ID: "The Social Model of Disability." There are three boxes with text inside. The first says "Impairment: including pain, paralysis, fatigue etc, exists regardless of society" then there is a + symbol and another box that says "Inaccessibility: a society that isn't made for Disabled people, exclusion, ableism." Then there is a = symbol and the final box that says "Disability: a social construct: what happens when your impairment meets inaccessible society." #Disability #DisabilityRights #DisabilityCommunity #DisabilityAdvocate #DisabilityStudies #DisabilityInclusion #ChronicallyBadass #ChronicIllness #AccessIsLove #Accessibility #AccessibilityForAll #Spoonie #SpoonieLife #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #BabeWithAMobilityAid #CripplePunk #Unchargeables #TheFutureIsAccessible #DisabilityJustice #Inclusion #WheelchairDontCare #Wheelchair #WheelchairLife #InvisibleIllness #AbleismExists #AbleismIsTrash #DisabilityIsDiversity #MillionsMissing #DisabilityPride”
