I can understand why someone would interpret #disabilitytoowhite as diminishing. Having a minority status that you would have even if you were able bodied probably does make it worse to a degree, but disabled is disabled. Once you are in that category you are just not seen. Able bodied people cannot fully appreciate just how much that matters.
