But I was learning as my friends were, and people I didn't know around the country, that we had to be our own advocates, that we needed to fight back people's view that if you had a disability, you needed to be cured, that equality was not part of the equation.
Pero aprendí igual que mis amigos lo hicieron, y otra gente a lo largo del país que no conozco, que debíamos ser nuestros defensores, que necesitabamos luchar contra las perspectivas de otros que si tuvieras discapacidad, necesitabas ser curado, que la igualdad no era parte de la ecuación.
