I totally agree with most of what you say.
Many years ago, however, I was severely bullied from the minute I happened to mention that I had a disability (this was independently verified).
Since then most of the perpetrators have become bored of it, been banned, seen the error of their ways or it transpired that they had a disability of their own that gave rise to their behaviour.
Hopefully now that you have 'come out' as disabled, attitudes have changed and you or anyone else won't face what I did many years ago. There is now less than a handful who crawl out of the woodwork every now and again and egg each other on, the majority of people are fine.
On this occasion it's saved me a job as we were each asked to produce five examples of online disability harrassment for our next zoom meeting.
In the past a lot of people took the 'ignore the ignorant' outlook, but these days people simply won't put up with it and why should they?

Patronising post of the day and don't blame it on your disability as you know exactly what you're doing.
