Abstract
Do you ever come across the snide remarks such as “you cannot be ugly and broke, pick one struggle”, “you cannot be short and fat, pick one”? being disabled and queer is obliquely welcomed with similar attitudes. Supposedly, no individual, in their right mind, can be disabled and still “choose” to be queer. I have encountered so many of these remarks.
