Jul. 2nd, 2010 09:39 pmThe discrimination that people with disabilities have to put up with in this world upsets and angers me more than I can say.
Most of you know that my daughter is a full time wheelchair user, so this sort of attitude isn't new to me. But every time it happens it still feels like a punch to the gut.

Disability, fandom, and me: Here's your place, live in it, or the VVC storm
This has got to be one of the worst cases of discrimination I have ever had the misfortune to come across in fandom, and believe me when I say I've come across quite a few in my time.
Isn't it about time this sort of thing stopped happening?
ETA: And just so you know, this isn't the first time I've posted about disability and fandom. The sad thing is, I can't see things changing any time soon. *sigh*
