About this listen
🛑 Content Warning: Online Abuse, Ableism, Disability SlursThis video contains references to ableist language, online hate, and the failure of systems to protect disabled people. Please take care while watching.🎙️ This is a spoken word piece from my podcast Wheelie MS Advocate. It’s about what it feels like to live through constant digital ableism, on TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and beyond.📍 Despite reporting the hate to the police, I was told nothing could be done. Why? Because the people abusing me aren’t in the UK.💬 But the abuse still landed here. On my screen. In my body. In my life.🧠 We are disabled — not stupid.We’ve had careers, built lives, and we still work — even when it breaks us.We don’t need more “coping tips.”We need protection. Real, global, legal protection.✊🏽 Stop calling us strong if you won’t stand with us.—🔗 Read the full blog post:👉 Wheelie MS Advocate📲 Follow me:TikTok: @wheelieMSadvocate_X/Twitter: @wheelieFUMSInstagram: @wheelieMSadvocate📧 Want to work with me or support my content?Visit: About me#DisabilityAdvocate #Ableism #HateCrime #OnlineAbuse #WheelieMSAdvocate #DisabledAndProud #AmbulatoryWheelchairUser #SpokenWord
