I found something out today…

I was doing new hire training involving housing laws, and I came across this statistic:

(Can be found here: https://nationalfairhousing.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2021-Fair-Housing-Trends-Report_FINAL.pdf)

And, idk… it just made me feel defeated. After finding out that I do have disabilities, I’ve recently realized how much of myself I’ve sacrificed for others or just because it’s just the path of least resistance, and I blamed myself for being such a pushover, but seeing these stats makes me wonder if the issue is due to how other people perceive us and expect us to look or act as people with disabilities.

I don’t understand it. It feels like people go out of their way to make sure others aren’t being treated fairly (this goes beyond disabilities, of course, as everyone has a right to be treated fairly).

I just needed to rant because it hit me hard seeing those statistics.
