When Existence Becomes Resistance
Have you ever considered that simply showing up in your own body might be a political act? For millions of disabled people worldwide, this isn't a philosophical question-it's daily reality. "Disability Visibility" shatters the tired narratives we've grown accustomed to: the inspiration porn, the tragic victim, the superhuman overcomer. Instead, it offers something far more radical and necessary-authentic voices speaking without apology or explanation. These aren't stories designed to make non-disabled readers feel comfortable or inspired. They're raw, complex, sometimes uncomfortable truths about what it means to navigate a world built without you in mind. As disability rights activist Sandy Ho writes, taking up space as a disabled person is always revolutionary. This anthology proves why.
