I don’t get it either. Also “disabled” could mean anything, physical, mental… From nobody would ever guess you get special treatment, to you can barely leave your bed. Or the label “black” for skin color. Why does that stick? Couldn’t you as well be labeled as “white” if you got two parents with different skin colors? Doesn’t make any sense to me. I think the issue is with labels and sorting people in categories. That’s kinda broken by design. Unless you have a very special use-case. But even then, you can’t lump them all together. You could receive some minor healthcare benefits, or a good amount of it because you rely on it completely. And there aren’t 500 different schools catering for all sorts of individual differences, it’s closer to two. One “special” one and one “regular” school. And that demands there be two labels. Disregarding if it messes up a lot of things.
