"Disability and Invisibility" (by person with ME)

[Dolphin]

Ashish George’s essay on the hermeneutical injustice of disability is incredibly insightful.* Nothing I say here is intended to undermine that. That said, I contend that a “minority model” of disability—viewing disability as analogous to being female or homosexual—works for many disabled people but it is not a good fit for all disabled people. This model has some important limitations that may support or extend some of the points about hermeneutical injustice made in the original article.

Thanks. I thought there were some simplifications that could annoy proponents of the social model, but that it also made some good and interesting points.
