TW: Chemical w-rfare, Ab-rtion

Urgent Ask to evacuate Nara, a 🍉 disabled woman with MS who also has pancreatic cancer due to chemical w-rfare.

Support by financially contributing to her @FedUp4Palestine vetted funhnd-raizer (that I personally vetted): givebutter.com/NaraMedicalAid

+ resharing/ reposting this post!

I, Sky Cubacub- a Fed up 4 Palestine team member, have been in direct contact with Nara to get to know her and her story more over the past few days. We have become fast friends due to so many overlapping symptoms of our disabilities. Nara’s story caught my eye because I have post-viral ME/CFS which many times is a precursor to MS. I really want my disability community to show up for her to get this campaign funded that is so close to my heart so that she can continue medical treatment.

We have chatted extensively! During our chats, I found out from Nara that she had not previously had health issues until she was exposed in the white phosphorus attack in 2008. The long lasting damage and effects of phosphorus continue to compound and become more and more disabling to this day, even after 16 years.

Here is her story in her own words (edited for clarity):

“Hi I'm Nara,

I'm a cancer and multiple sclerosis patient. I need treatment, examinations, and follow-up on a regular basis, but the hospitals in which I used to follow up were bombed and the other one was turned into military barracks. All I need now is to leave Gaza for treatment, preserve my life, and live with my family in peace.

We're a family of 4, including my 12 and 7 year old children.

I had been diagnosed with a tumor in the pancreas as a result of inhaling phosphorus in a previous war. A couple years after being exposed to phosphorus, I became pregnant, and the fetus was pressing on the tumor, which drew the doctor’s attention to the cancer. My fetus was emergency aborted, and the spleen, 80% of the pancreas, and part of the small intestine were removed. I complained every now and then of a lot of pain as a result of the removal of part of the pancreas. I was having follow up care in the Turkish Friendship Hospital for hematology and tumors. But since the beginning of October, I have not been able to follow up because the hospital has turned into a military barracks.

The remaining part is talking about multiple sclerosis:

In 2018, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had many complications, such as inflammation of the seventh nerve in the eye, the inability to walk with balance, movement with difficulty, and many symptoms. I was then required to take 12 injections every month and many medications and vitamins. I was following up at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, but unfortunately the hospital was out of service due to the war. So for a long time I have not received any injections. MS is truly difficult and it controls my life completely, and the attacks occur in many and varied ways.”

A note about her breathing apparatus:

Because people in displacement have to wait in long queues and pay to use the bathroom, Nara had started to restrict her water intake because of a UTI she never has been able to heal from. This has created a problem with raised levels of potassium, so doctors have placed her on oxygen for fear of the potassium affecting her heart.

Goals

she needs at least $15,000 to evacuate

2 adults at $5,000 each

2 children at $2,500 each

this price is subject to increase due to the cost of registration for evacuation continuing to go up

The other money will go to the cost of treatment and living costs.

Nara chooses to stay anonymous because she has had to mask her disabilities so much that only her family knows about her MS and Cancer, so we have not linked her instagram, but we are in direct contact with her and can verify that she is who she says she is! Because of this, she cannot promote her own fundraiser, so it is our job to collectively do it for her!

She has a breathing apparatus that is bulbous that goes in her nose.

Why I Don’t “Light it Up Gold”

You may be a bit confused by the last word in this title-wouldn’t this kind of blog post usually be called “Why I Don’t ‘Light it Up Blue”? I obviously don’t do that either, but I also have issues with the color gold being used in the context of autism. To start, a history lesson.

Gold for autism was an idea that goes as far back as the 2000s. The earliest instance I’ve found of Au is 2004. I know this thanks to the Fandom Rescue Project on Web Archive, who preserved tons of Yahoo Groups forums before Yahoo shut the feature down permanently. A lot of early autistic organizing was done via Yahoo Groups, among other platforms. My source supplied me with more than six hundred megabytes of data related to autism and disability-focused groups. In one of them, AutAdvo, there was discussion of an “Autistic Underground”, which had the abbreviation Au. It has the Latin phrases “perservateur pa Excellence”, and “Aut víam inveníam aut faciam”. Those translate to “persevering excellence” and “I will find a way or make one”. A user named Janet Norman-Bain, whose alias was “Jypsy” talked about Au also being the symbol for gold, and using it as an abbreviation as they “mine info”. She also suggested that “years from now we’ll be the select few who know what it *really* means”. It appears as if they were right, eighteen years later. I do not believe this is directly related to the Autistic Union, often symbolized with Âû, nor do I think it was something their creators knew about and deliberately built off of. There was talk of autism and gold separately a few years later in a separate Yahoo Group list, so it’s entirely possible that many different people have thought the same thing about linking autism to gold without necessarily knowing other people had the same idea before them.

Another thing from early Neurodiversity history that Âû is reminiscent of, which is more concerning, is the passport to Aspergia, as well as other monikers people would use to identify themselves. Aspergia was this fictional island devised by someone named Edan. It had a website with a forum that lasted from 2002 to 2004. Aspergia was supposedly the land where all autistic people are genetically descended from, and it suggested that autistic people are “Aspergian Mutants”. It deliberately uplifted people with an Asperger’s diagnosis over those with an autism diagnosis, with one of its writers, TheASMan, publishing a book titled Tears For Aspergia. This book lamented that some advocates were pushing for autism to be seen as a disability (which it is). Passports to Aspergia were orange wristbands, and autistic people would wear them to show that they were aspies. This feels similar to the Âû moniker. Back when blogging was really popular on the internet, people would use specific buttons and tags, and this included autistic bloggers. Older social media platforms used to be more customizable than the most used ones are now, and I think including Âû in the username is part of trying to reclaim that personalization. Again, I do not think these are directly related to Âû, but I do think they have the same line of thinking behind them.

Many people use the Âû letters in their username, and surely not all of them are bad, nor are the people connected with them, right? Yes, there are perfectly fine people who are within this network, and most of them are probably unaware of these issues. However, many of them also display problematic behavior and espouse dangerous beliefs. They can be very opportunistic, flooding the comment sections of people who make pretty minor mistakes. It’s a common practice within the Neurodiversity Movement to protest and organize this way, and it can be very effective, but many people in these circles will see something pretty minor, like someone who uses person-first language for autism, or puzzle pieces, and practically form a picket line around them. They’ll also claim that the way they think is how “the majority of autistic people'' feel, rather than explain the merits of their argument.

Finally, and most importantly, using the gold for autism creates a feeling of separatism from the rest of neurodivergence and disability, specifically in the context of the gold infinity symbol. The gold infinity symbol was first used circa 2014 by AutisticUK, a UK-based labor party organization. It was taken from the pre-existing rainbow infinity symbol that symbolizes all forms of neurodivergence, meant to be an infinity symbol exclusively for autistic people. I really don’t see the need for this. Now the rainbow symbol has its own somewhat problematic origins, being made by the creators of Aspies for Freedom, but I personally like the way it looks, what it represents, and I think it’s been used in mostly decent ways over the years. There’s certainly an essay to be written about AFF themselves. I’ve always envisioned the Neurodiversity Movement to be about more than just autism and for autistic-led spaces to include more than just autistic people. I feel like what will truly liberate us as a community is if we have cross-disability solidarity. This is something the Disability Rights Movement has struggled with since the beginning, so it’s not a problem exclusive to us neurodivergents, but it is still an issue all the same. The founders of Autism Network International had the right idea, and utilized a concept that has sadly been mostly lost to time-cousins. Mel Baggs wrote an excellent blog post about this a few years ago: https://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2016/11/01/cousins/

I feel like the Neurodiversity Movement. as well as any disability movement, is at its best when it takes all forms of disability into account and is inclusive of all of them. The Disability Justice Movement does this the best. Using gold to symbolize autism as its own separate entity does not accomplish this. If you like it, more power to you. I did not write this to convince anyone to think exactly as I do. I just personally think that gold doesn’t look good on the Neurodiversity Movement.

This #WomensHistoryMonth we're celebrating the change-makers who push us forward.

Judy Heumann was an internationally recognized Disability Rights Activist, known as the “Mother of the Disability Rights Movement.” She's celebrated for her role in developing and passing some of the most important disability rights legislation in American history.

As a child Judy was denied the right to attend school — and later to become an educator — because of her wheelchair use. Both injustices galvanized her life-long commitment to the fight for equal rights for Americans with disabilities.

ID: A collage-style two slide carousel depicting Judy Heumann both as a young activist and in her more recent years, using a combination of color and black and white photographs. With text describing Judy's career (transcribed above).

Let’s talk money. The National Disability Institute estimates that having one disabled adult in a household requires 28% more income to sustain the SAME standard of living as a household without disability. 28% more. Let that sink in. The reality is that most households with at least one disabled person (be it an adult or a child) make LESS than similar households without disability. #BVD #MCAS #EDS #POTS #Spoonie #SpoonieLife #SpoonieSupport #ChronicallyIll #Disabled #DisabilityJustice #Inclusion #ADA https://www.instagram.com/p/Crf3c_PO6MR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Du droit des personnes Handicapées à la lutte anti-validiste.

[Vous pouvez retrouver ce texte dans sa version imprimable ici !]

Voici la Traduction du texte D'Hailey Hudson « Moving From Disability Right To Disability Justice » avec l'accord de l'autrice . Le texte d'Hailey est une version plus didactique des textes de Patty Berne. S'il constitue une bonne introduction sur le sujet, certains points importants sont abordés de façons plus succinctes. Plusieurs références seront indiquées à la fin du texte (en anglais), en attendant d'autres traductions.

Ici, le terme « Disability Justice », littéralement « Justice pour le handicap » est traduit par l'expression « Justice pour toutes les personnes handicapées ». C'est en effet la façon dont on le retrouve le plus souvent traduit dans d'autres langues. Néanmoins pour des questions de lisibilité, le terme sera parfois remplacé par « lutte anti-validiste ». Pour la traductrice, cette expression reflète en effet autant ses enjeux, qui vont bien au-delà de la question de l’obtention des droits, en faisant plus de sens dans le contexte militant français. Il s'agit évidemment d'un choix, qui faisait sens à la période de publication du texte et que j'avais développé plus longuement ici

La Lutte pour le Droits des Personnes Handicapées a établi des droits civils pour celles-ci, leur ouvrant des opportunités de participer plus pleinement à la société.

Ce mouvement s'est accéléré dans les années 1960 et a conduit à l'adoption de l'Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) en 1990. Le Royaume-Uni adoptera une législation similaire : la Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) en 1995. De nombreux autres pays à travers le monde ont emboîté le pas avec une législation similaire tout au long des années 1990.

Mais la Lutte pour le Droits des Personnes Handicapées n'a pas réussi à examiner comment des aspects tels que les intersections de la race, du sexe, de la classe et de la sexualité jouent un rôle dans l'oppression des personnes handicapées. C'est là que la lutte anti-validiste entre en jeu.

Qu'est-ce que la Justice pour Toutes les Personnes handicapées ?

La Justice pour Toutes les Personnes handicapées est une expression qui a été inventé en 2005 par un collectif de femmes queer racisées handicapées, dont Patty Berne, Mia Mingus et feu Stacey Milbern. La lutte anti-validiste s'appuie sur le mouvement des droits des personnes handicapées, en adoptant une approche plus globale pour aider à garantir le droit de celles-ci en reconnaissant l'intersectionnalité des personnes handicapées qui appartiennent à d'autres communautés marginalisées.

Son cadre implique que nous devons inclure les expériences de personnes handicapées multiplement marginalisées, telles que :

Les personnes racisées

Les personnes migrantes

les personnes LGBTQIA+

Les personnes sans abris

Les personnes incarcérées

Les gens qui se sont fait voler leurs terres ancestrales

La Justice pour Toutes les Personnes Handicapées examine toutes ces questions, reconnaissant comment divers systèmes d'oppression interagissent et se renforcent mutuellement. En raison de cette orientation plus large, ce mouvement est le moyen le plus complet de créer un changement durable pour les personnes handicapées et marginalisées de diverses façons.

La lutte anti-validiste a 10 grands principes pour examiner l'inclusion des personnes qui sont marginalisées à plusieurs endroits:

1. Intersectionnalité

L'intersectionnalité est un terme fondé par la juriste Kimberlé Crenshaw en 1989 pour expliquer comment les femmes noires existent aux intersections du racisme et du sexisme. De même, le cadre de la lutte anti-validiste applique ce concept en expliquant que les personnes handicapées ont chacune une expérience et des antécédents différents en matière de race, de classe, de sexualité, d'âge, de statut d'immigration et d'autres problèmes. Reconnaître l'intersectionnalité signifie reconnaître que des idéologies odieuses telles que le validisme, le racisme, le sexisme, la xénophobie, l'homophobie et la transphobie fonctionnent souvent ensemble et se renforcent mutuellement.

2. Leadership1 des personnes les plus touchées

La Justice pour toutes les Personnes Handicapées tient à centrer le leadership sur les personnes les plus touchées par le validisme plutôt que sur les universitaires et les chercheur·euses, ou sur d'autres personnes handicapées mais qui bénéficient toujours d'autres types d'oppression. La Lutte pour le Droits des Personnes Handicapées a été critiqué pour donner la priorité aux voix des personnes blanches, qui ont souvent continué à renforcer le racisme et l'oppression que subissent les personnes racisées. Par conséquent, il est impératif de veiller à ce que le leadership, le pouvoir et les opportunités soient donnés aux personnes les plus négativement touchées par tout le spectre du validisme afin de lutter plus efficacement contre ces problèmes.

3. Politique anticapitaliste

Ce principe dit essentiellement que notre valeur en tant que personne ne dépend pas de ce que nous pouvons produire. L'anti-validisme combat les exigences de productivité auquel s'attend une culture capitaliste, ainsi que la pauvreté systémique dans laquelle les personnes handicapées sont contraintes si elles ne peuvent pas travailler. Toutes les personnes méritent que leurs besoins soient satisfaits, quelle que soit leur capacité à produire.

4. Solidarité inter-mouvements

La Justice pour Toutes les Personnes Handicapées se combine avec d'autres mouvements en quête de libération - telle que la justice raciale, la justice environnementale, la lutte contre les violences policières, etc. Parce que chaque groupe démographique comprend des personnes handicapées, les personnes handicapées ne seront pas libérées sans le succès de chacun de ces mouvements. Cet effort aide les personnes handicapées à devenir plus unies et compréhensives dans notre activisme.

5. Reconnaître l'entièreté

Ce mouvement soutient que les personnes handicapées sont des personnes à part entière. Elles ne le sont pas moins à cause de leur handicap. Les personnes handicapées ont une vie intérieure riche et des expériences précieuses.

6. Durabilité

Un autre principe vital du mouvement de Justice pour Toutes les Personnes Handicapées est la durabilité. Les militantEs et les défenseureuses handicapéEs doivent être en phase avec leur corps pour suivre leur rythme à long terme et continuer à travailler régulièrement pour la justice au fil du temps sans s'épuiser. De plus, la durabilité du mouvement dépend de la communauté et ne peut être engagée par des individus seuls.

7. Engagement de Solidarité Inter-Handicap

La lutte anti-validiste met l'accent sur toutes les personnes handicapées, y compris celles qui sont souvent laissées pour compte. Toute personne qui fait l'expérience du validisme est incluse, qu'elle soit atteinte d'une maladie chronique, neurodivergente, sourde, aveugle, mentalement, intellectuellement, cognitivement handicapée, physiquement handicapée ou ayant tout autre handicap.

8. Interdépendance

L'interdépendance nous permet de travailler côte à côte, créant une communauté plus forte alors que nous travaillons à libérer tous les individus opprimés. Au lieu de promouvoir uniquement l'indépendance, qui était au centre du mouvement pour les droits des personnes handicapées et pour la vie autonome2, l'interdépendance reconnaît qu'aucun d'entre nous ne peut prospérer sans soutien. Ce principe s'articule autour de la construction d'un sentiment de communauté parmi les personnes handicapées et de l'organisation pour parvenir à la libération.

9. Accès collectif

Le principe d'accès collectif explique que la Justice pour Toutes les Personnes Handicapées crée des méthodes pour faire les choses en dehors de normes valides neurotypiques. Dans le mouvement de justice pour personnes handicapées, les besoins d'accès sont accueillis, respectés et reconnus.

10. Libération collective

La libération collective implique que les personnes handicapées progressent ensemble en tant que personnes aux "capacités mixtes, multiraciales, multigenres, de classe mixte, à travers le spectre sexuel, avec une vision qui ne laisse personne derrière". Ce principe reconnaît le travail de plusieurs décennies de celleux qui se sont déjà battus pour la libération tout en reconnaissant également ce qui reste à faire. La libération collective signifie envisager un monde qui peut être créé lorsque des personnes handicapées d'origines et d'expériences de vécus divers se réunissent pour mettre en œuvre un changement.

Aller de l'avant avec une Justice pour Toutes les Personnes Handicapées

Lorsque nous nous concentrons sur les principes de Justice pour Toutes les Personnes Handicapées, nous donnons la priorité aux liens entre le validisme et d'autres systèmes d'oppression. l'anti-validisme reconnaît que le handicap n'est pas monolithique - le validisme est différent pour les personnes ayant divers handicaps ainsi que pour les personnes de races, de classes et de sexes différents. Ainsi, Justice pour Toutes les Personnes Handicapées est le moyen le plus convaincant et le plus efficace pour assurer la libération des personnes handicapées et marginalisées.
