Grrrrr! I'm not sick, I'm disabled. There's a difference! I know I'm probably over reacting, but grrrr!

I'm pretty reactive about the subject myself, so I can't say "you're not overreacting," but I can say I *like* the way you're reacting.

When people say stuff like "I wish you were perfectly healthy" to a person whose body is outside the norm, it feels kind of like they're saying "I wish you didn't exist, you are messing up the way I think things should be."

I wish humans were designed so we couldn't steal and couldn't fight wars. Then we'd REALLY save some money.

I posit that if we were all perfectly healthy, physically and mentally, people would not steal or fight wars.
