Do any of you feel like you need to include All The Reactions like I do? Do you think this is related to internalized ableism?

Viewing a single person as not an individual with unique experiences and desires, but a complete exemplar of their class, sounds like basically the definition of ableism to me.

It could be internalized ableism. I wouldn't be surprised if it was also wanting to see better, more varied representation, especially if you have a tendency to try and do All of the Things.
