Lucy went to my school & I heard about her when she came to give a talk. She's since become quite high profile, first working for the BBC, then writing a v good memoir, The View From Down Here, about the intersection of sexism & disability prejudice, and a TED talk. She's got a lot of hate for speaking against the assisted dying bill as she feels the recent care worker visa cuts and other cuts will hurt the disabled and push them towards it. .
A recent IG post by her and a friend bout disability and feminism received over 700 hateful comments. I know the hate speech laws on IG were too strict for stuff like trans, but apparently the new algorithm (need to check details) let some really vicious ableism in, and homophobia & misogyny too. It never happens on posts w just text, so she thinks her speech impediment set it off.
I think this kind of reaction really exposes the attitude too many men have to women they don't find attractive. Make that a disabled woman, and that goes up by 100. Lucy recent realised she was lesbian (she pointed out that the constant dating rejections and assumption disabled women are barely sexual, let alone a minority sexuality, made it v hard) and says she gets better responses from women even when rejecting, though obviously there is still prejudice there. I think it highlights the misogynistic element tho.
Disabled people are people it would require sincere effort to include. That would be true intersectionality for companies etc. We need to do whatever we can.
