    Or rather die than come up with good metaphors to attack his shitty strawman. He knows his Everest metaphor is shit – some summiters are blind or double amputees, and the amount of equipment ableds need to climb everest is *evidence* of the social model – he backpedals halfway through, but he makes the metaphor anyway! NASA is literally trying to figure out how to design space travel for disabled astronauts, which he’d know if he’d typed two words into google.

    He’s just… being a cunt.

      Also the distance between the social model of disability and transhumanism is measured in nanometers, and yet these assholes are so offended that disabled people might be using the enhancements of their eugenicist dystopias.

      These motherfuckers.

          I have seen the same take rolled out for transgender people as well.

      B-but submarines aren’t wheelchair accessible and I can’t imagine alternatives to wheelchairs or different submarines! And I like to think about how my grandmother would die if I stranded her on a desert island! So I must be right! P.S. cars are a natural occurrence!
