Please stop making disabled people invisible

16. While you have a point about making disabled people invisible, you seem to be confused as to what

the term Privilege means. It does not mean "ALL WHITES and ALL WHITE MALES can never suffer as much as a person of color, woman or anyone from the LGBT community" or that any individual will never suffer as much as any other individual, but that in general as a whole males and whites have a certain amount of institutional privilege due to their gender and/or skin color.

It is true that there is not enough knowledge of or acceptance of people with disabilities. I have experienced it directly with my hearing loss, John Williams in Seattle was shot by an asshole cop in part because of his hearing loss. A friend with MS started carrying a cane, even though is 30, so people would quit thinking she was drunk in public. With the cane, she is more likely to have people step out of her way rather than bumping into her, open doors rather than ignore her. People without noticeable disabilities who park in handicapped parking get shit on by the public and by police (there was a vid out this week from a vet getting hassled by cop and being really pissed about it).

Now back to the comparison of who suffers most. I don't understand the need to say "me, as a person, suffers more than you do". I see you write "as a whole", but then talk about "some" or "a person", negating the institutionalized privilege thing.

Maybe I miss the point, would be glad to have you clarify to help me understand better.
