The Telegraph’s own response now says I “do not fall within the generalised group of conditions discussed in our broader summary response.”

That is exactly why I objected to being processed through a collective answer in the first place.

I am severely Disabled. My conditions are formally diagnosed. I use a custom prescription Group 3 power wheelchair full time and have a backup custom manual chair. I am also professionally active, economically active, publicly engaged, and online constantly as part of my work. I write, publish, perform comedy, run disability-rights projects, travel for professional events, attend panels, and use social media as part of that economic and professional life. I have fun. I love my cats, husband, and son. I enjoy museums, vintage fashion / hair / makeup. I like rainy days and reading about Napoleonic naval warfare.

So when The Telegraph defended Poppy Coburn’s article through a summary response about “sickfluencers,” mobility aids as “props,” social-media subcultures, rising diagnoses, welfare costs, and economic inactivity, I insisted that it address my actual complaint and my actual life. I refused to let it treat me as someone pushing society downward.

It eventually conceded that its own assistant editor's unsupported opinion and its generalized response did not fit me.

I do not think that ends the problem. I think the summary response itself was inappropriate, the defense of Coburn’s unsupported causal claims was inadequate, and the insistence that complainants simply take the matter to IPSO, which is a body designed to self-govern the journalism industry, does not cure the failure.

It would be like if we asked kids on the playground to sort out who was mean to whom and allow one child to decide the punishment. We don't do that.

I have now issued an Article 15 UK GDPR Subject Access Request to find out what other personal data The Telegraph holds about me, including how I have been described, categorized, assessed, circulated, flagged, or discussed internally.

(Keeping comments off on this post due to its potential to attract ableist trolls.)

Calling people in the UK! 📣🔥

Please sign this government petition calling for a national disability hate strategy in the UK. Ableism is on the rise both online and in person, and we deserve better.

You can find the link in our bio 💞

Image description: a screenshot of a UK government petition. It says:

Create a National Disability Hate Strategy for the UK

Develop and fund a National Disability Hate Strategy, co-produced with Disabled People’s Organisations, to tackle disability hate crime, online abuse, discrimination, public stigma and improve awareness of visible and hidden disabilities.

Disability hate is rising online and in public.

Disabled people are abused, questioned and targeted simply for existing.

Government must develop a National Disability Hate Strategy with Disabled People’s Organisations to prevent hate and better protect victims.

Channel 4’s show ‘The Great ADHD Myth?’ is horrifically biased and packed full of misinformation that should have never been aired.

This whole documentary was extremely biased towards one point of view that is very easily disproven by science and decades of research.

@channel4 should have never allowed this documentary to be aired. They have a ‘Disability Code of Portrayal’ which has been completely broken by this program. (You can find this code included in the next slides)

Please make an ofcom complaint about this show, and contact Channel 4 directly to complain if you have the capacity. @adhduk.co.uk are also running a survey on how this show has impacted people, please fill it out if you can! You can find it on their instagram

There have been some brilliant pieces written to debunk Kathleen Stock's vague claims made this week. @charliclement_ @chronically_sask @mindlesslymegan @chronically.char @flicjackson @longcovidrockstar @accessallarias and @beth_sara_obrien are just a few.

@thetimes have had a busy week of attacking disabled people, between Jeremy Clarkson and Kathleen Stock. I don't know if my complaint will do anything at all. But vile claims cannot go unchallenged. If you'd like to submit a complaint too, search for IPSO's easy online form.

Please help! I am determined to not suffer more needlessly.
I haven’t fully rested and recovered from several surgeries, 6 organs removed and now I have more serious medical things going on. PLEASE SEND HELP, DONATE. PayPal or Zelle is all I have.

I will try my best to respond messages but I’m already at my limits physically, mentally, emotionally. I don’t deserve a strong able bodied man jumping on my bed to attack me while I’m completely defenseless and physically/verbally/mentally/emotionally. Corning me into spaces so I can’t escape. Denying me water. Letting my room and air quality get filthy. Living in filth. Gaslighting me, I am experiencing verbal/emotional/physical/financial/mental abuse. Denying me company/friends/caretakers isolating me, also forcing me to do things my surgeon has not cleared and my body shouldn’t be doing. And SO MUCH MORE!

There is so much that has happened. Hence me not posting and being MIA, I am barely getting by, I’m weak asf, I’m not eating even 500 calories a day most days for months now, I have lost probably close to 50 pounds, extremely fatigued, and I am experiencing an intense amount of pain, mostly bedridden except medical appointments or bathroom breaks, I may need another surgery on my hands soon too. I can barely stand or walk much. I rarely go up and down my stairs and not always by choice. I should not be typing but I have to so I can get any help possible!!!

Thank you in advance for saving a life 🙏🏽😭
