Re: If there would be a way for getting your sight back, would you do it?
This topic has gone way off topic. I think that Turtlepower has a point though. It is hard to be average when other people don’t see you that way. Even talking about disabilities makes people uncomfortable. Let's take my graduate level diversity class for example. The topic we were supposed to be talking about during 1 class was people with disabilities and we did talk about a bit however at 1 point a student changed the subject to the LGBQ community. I agree that that community deserves an equal discussion as well and it had infect had its own discussion but for whatever reason when it was time to focus on those with disability’s the topic quickly changed. I think that this uncomfortableness does need to be addressed with people that do not have disabilities as a whole. I understand what that awkwardness/guilt feels like as I feel that way every time white privilege is brought up but for whatever reason that can be talked about for hours and hours whereas the discussion of people with disabilities is just to taboo to talk about. At least these are the observations that I have made and if other people have noticed something differently please share! Back to Turtle power’s point that it is hard to appear as average when others don’t view you that way. They often do not even view people with disabilities as on the same level as other people. This is a reason that I tend to be shy until I meet someone and they get to know me. You may feel that you are average but with the cane or a dog you are always going to be looked down on by some people and that amount whatever it is does have a negative effect.
