https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_model_of_disability

Tl;Dr the model points to the fact that often the most disabling thing about a disability is how society treats the individual. It is not claiming that physical limitations do not exist, just that it is often in fact things like access problems that truly isolate the disabled.

For example, what is at fault when a ramp is not provided to enter a building, the unavoidable disability that requires a wheelchair, or exclusionary design?

You can also see this in action on this very "leftist" community when the fake progressives defend sub-minimum wage.

Sure, pain is a social construct, right?

I'm sorry about your illiteracy.

So ableism it is now? How very progressive.

BTW, I addressed exactly what you're referring to in the comment above. But you chose to ignore that.

Sure you did, bro. Also, willful illiteracy is not a disability, but keep on going.
