Do have any idea the mental and physical adjustments people like me go through? Learning to dress yourself? Learning to eat without making a total mess. The self-consciousness of going out for a walk. The sensory overload when suddenly you have to wait and listen for doorways? The overwhelming smells? The people who coddle you constantly? The loneliness because most people don't want to date a disabled woman? The -75% employment rate? Fighting tooth and nail to paid a proper wage? She's a total ass.
No, she is disabled and was disabled before she blinded herself. She's mentally ill. Blinding herself is a symptom, not a political act. It has nothing to do with you or other blind people. I wouldn't want to be blind for a moment. And I'm sure you do go through a lot because you are. But she is not you. And her illness does not reflect on your blindness.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
