people keep adding to this post like "those 'fakers' have problems too if they want XYZ accommodation so bad" and like... yes! agreed! the number of people who actively pretend to be disabled for any reason is somewhere between laughable and nonexistent.
the thing is that, the way shit's set up and even the way people are treated in day to day life, it's like helping someone who doesn't 'deserve it' is some mortal sin that's worse than murder. from the way people with mobility aids are so often watched when they go out to make sure they 'really need' the aid they so often bought with their own money to the way resource offices are famously stingy with literally anything (in america at least because I'm american so that's what I'm familiar with), the specter of 'disability fakers' makes life nearly impossible for disabled people.
in real life it's not 100000 fakers getting help while Real Disable People TM get help. it's 10000 Real Disabled People TM having to beg for scraps just to spite the mythical fakers.
but... if that's the dichotomy we're going with...
i would rather help one hundred thousand able bodied people who pretend to be disabled than make life even fractionally more difficult for a single disabled person.
