That reminds me of one doctor advising me to look into assisted suicide…
That felt absolutely awful. The person I trust to help me live, because I want to live, doesn’t see my life worth living.
These same people don’t actually help me if I need it, they can’t seem to deal with the reality of my disability.
If people want to help, there are so many ways to actually help them.
You don’t “help” a blind person by trying to sell them a random sham, you help them by asking them if you can do something for them.
The people in power have the most influence. The people in power tend to also believe they deserve to be in power — ie. Just World Fallacy — so it’s really unsuprising how societally engrained that bias is.
