"Disability" (as epistemology/word/theory/construct) is not ableism in the same way that race is not racism, and queer is not homophobia.

The former being social constructs and the latter, discriminatory ideologies that weaponize them.

We need to be able to distinguish them.
It is possible and useful to theorize within these named social constructs/epistemological frameworks and challenge the framing of the debate (e.g. via axiology and dissensus).

It is not advisable to neglect/marginalize the complex biosocial ontologies on which they are built.
