Gal I am chronically ill. Can't shower or even get myself out of bed. Lost 18 years thus far. But I ran a charity funding research for my illness #ME and advocate for Change. All from my bed. Is my life not important? Disablement is not shameful, bigotry is. Watch pls

I understand that those words don't seem to hold weight for you but the implication that physical restraints needed to be said whether intended or not is ableism. I love Gal. It may simply be a poor choice of words but it's like identifying someone by their colour or religion.

How on earth do you interpret this tweet as her saying that one‘s life is not important if you‘re disabled ? I‘m sorry, it is common belief that one of is free of pain and illness after death, that’s what her tweet said

Wow... people took this way out of context. Come on people. Her choice of words may not have been the best, but I think we can all agree she meant well.

Yes I've repeatedly said she just worded it badly. But if you inadvertently offended a group of people, would you not wish to be told why? I think she's lovely and sweet. It was a misstep. That doesn't make it ok. She's not on blast or being trolled, simply informed why it hurts.

Gal meant no disrespect and you know it.
Be honest, given the opportunity, someone in Hawking’s condition would choose to walk hand-in-hand with a loved one along a beach than live in a wheelchair with no ability to move.

I do know it. Ignorance doesn't negate harm.
He has said otherwise if you read his interviews. So you're assuming something that is factually inaccurate. Again you're being ableist.
Please before responding just breathe and Google Hawkins death and ableism and ableist. Try.
