Why is it only ableism when the other side says the same thing?

Instead of name calling, can you please elaborate on why I am “dense” and what the difference is when the left does it and when the right does it?

We could but you're obviously dense so it'd be a waste of time

Tell me you don’t have an answer without telling me you don’t have an answer.

A disability can be challenging. That’s not ableism. Ask any person with a legitimate whether it’s challenging and they’ll say yes

Ableism is thinking that having a disability prevents you from doing certain things. Ableism is using a person’s disability to try and keep them from participating. Ableism is trying to imply that someone having an issue with speech means they are unable to lead.

Again, admitting that a disability makes something more challenging isn’t ableist, it’s realistic.

Someone who lost their legs is going to find climbing a mountain more challenging than someone who hasn’t. Admitting that isn’t ableist. What is ableist is saying that someone who lost their legs can’t climb a mountain.

Does this clear it up?

Yes it’s clear that I’m being realistic. Thank you for that.

What did you say that was realistic? You asked people to explain how saying something is challenging because of a disability isn’t ableist. I did that.
