#PSA about some #misinformation...

#CerebralPalsy is a #PhysicalDisability, not a #MentalDisability, the same as any other #NerveDamage, #NervousSystemDisorder, or #MobilityImpairment. Just because someone is in a wheelchair and has trouble talking does not mean they are "nonverbal" or have any issue with thinking. In fact, the number one stressor of people with cerebral palsy is the widespread misconception that they have a mental disorder: they are not, they have normally functioning brains with malfunctioning connections.

Regardless, #Disabled people, mental or otherwise, can still be #queer, and are still able to make decisions about their own lives for themselves. Even a severe mental impairment is not going to make someone believe they are #gay or #transgender when they are not.

This is simply a fact of reality, and it is the case whether the president of the United States, the owner of Twitter, or the moderators of Instagram accepted as true.
