   There's really nothing like having thought you'd already done all the complex and horrible work of advocating for yourself and your health needs and then having people just straight up forget or fail to document it and having to do it all over again.

   Feels like being put on trial about some of the worst experiences you've ever had to go through.

     Sociology and psychology of discrimination talks about the "dual consciousness" and other bifurcations that happen because of how we treat others. Being successful, kick-ass, and having more impact with my research than I ever imagined does not fix the experience of disability in any way. I had my research findings go in front of boards and to wide public audiences the *exact same day* I'm called in to justify my need to breathe.
