The committee finally acknowledged that disability is a natural part of human existence and reversed their discriminatory policy. This long battle for basic recognition is over because 712 people refused to look away. We won this, but I will be watching closely to ensure they keep their word.

La discapacidad es una parte natural de la condición humana. Las personas con discapacidades vienen de todas las clases sociales, en todos colores, tamaños, géneros, y edades. Los de nosotros que viven con una discapacidad traemos algo a la mesa si sea perspectiva fresca, inteligencia política, espíritus indomables, presencia de activación, intelectos atrevidos, etc. Contribuimos a la sociedad DEBIDO a quien somos. La diferencia y la diversidad human enriquece la comunidad. La inhabilidad no es especial, nomás es parte de la vida.
傷殘是人類自然發展的一部分， 不論什麼社會地位， 族裔， 大小， 性別和年齡。 我們傷殘人士為社會帶來不同的觀點， 政治的意識， 不屈不撓的精神， 有幹勁的參與和果敢的有識之士等。我們以自己獨特之處貢獻社會。 人類的區別和多元化豐富了我們的社區。 傷殘不是特別的， 那只是生命的一部位分。

Seeing five hundred names on this page feels like a heavy weight lifting off my chest because I spent years feeling like my own story was being ignored. Knowing that so many of you see the truth in these words makes me feel less alone in this fight for basic recognition.

I have spent this week reading through the comments you all left and I am overwhelmed by the strength in these stories. This work is difficult but your words prove that we are right to insist that disability is simply a part of life.

My son has CP and he contributes more to his school than any other kid there. Disability is just part of his life not his whole story.
Exactly. We are just people living our lives. Tired of being treated like we are invisible or just some tragedy.
PREACH. Stop acting like we are some inspiration porn or something. We are just living.
每一種生命都是一樣的，沒有什麼不同。
Totalmente de acuerdo. La diversidad es lo que nos hace mejores a todos.

About time someone said it. Just let us exist without all the weird looks and assumptions.
