> Also i have a distaste of the author listing their "disabilities" in their twitter bio.
There's a long history of silencing and rendering invisible the identities of disabled people, to avoid discomfort on the part of the abled, and to divide and prevent the formation of community amongst the disabled. Putting one's disabilities up-front in a profile bio challenges both of these norms, and announcing one's "distaste" reinforces them.
