People won’t engage me where I’m most powerful, which is in writing. They want to move all communications with me to either over the phone or in real life, where I am the weakest. I’m not alone in this; most people with disabilities are treated worse in real life than online. That’s why those in power are always trying to maximize real-life contact with things like return-to-office mandates because that’s the context where the privileged are the most powerful and we are the least.
