"what makes them disabled is not because of impairments but rather the restricted social organization of this society and the system that imposes on the disabled community"

"In my perception, however, banning alcoholic beverages for PWDs is also ableist in nature, for the proposal seeks to infantilize PWDs despite that not all of them are necessarily incapable of making decisions. Furthermore, it degrades the sense of responsibility, justice, and accountability that all of us, whether disabled or nondisabled persons, should learn upon. Lastly, it merely symbolizes that the PWDs should be limited to charity and social welfare services despite that as persons, they still have the dignity to decide for themselves."
