Oh my god, the “I need glasses so I’m disabled” people have found my post. If your vision is correctable to 20/20, you’re REALLY stretching the definition of disabled
Like you wouldn’t get laughed out of a disability support group, but you’d SURE piss a whole lot of the members off by acting like it’s the same thing.
“I can’t drive without my glasses therefore I’m disabled”
well I can’t walk in hot concrete without shoes but wearing those certainly doesn’t make me disabled
Yeah like… It’s probably technically comparable to having a hearing impairment that can be brought into the range of average hearing ability by means of a hearing aid… BUT there is so much difference between those two things in terms of 1. the availability of the accommodation, and 2. how “normal” it is considered by society in general.
Which are things that shouldn’t be problems in an ideal world, but well…
I think if there’s any comparison that should be done between them, it’s along the lines of “we should make other accommodations as unstigmatized and easy to get as glasses.”
