So, yes, let’s agree that disabled people are an essential, vibrant part of our world, and they deserve to be treated as such. But if we stop the conversation here—if we think this is all there is—we haven’t moved much farther than the “right” answer—Diversity and inclusion are good! Don’t be mean to disabled people! Inclusion isn’t better just because it’s kinder. We should bring disabled perspectives to the center because these perspectives create a world that is more imaginative, more flexible, more sustainable, more dynamic and vibrant for everyone who lives in a body.
