Dobyou like chubby disabled people?
People are not their disabilities, but we shouldn't ignore their needs either. It's simply another thing to love about them that makes them who they are.

On that note, the same needs to be said about fat people. I'm not saying that being fat is inherently a disability, but a lot of people treat it like it is. This is extra true when it comes to the super-sized crowd because they are both objectified and demonized for their size. I supposed this is both sides of the fatphobia coin.
Except for extreme examples, a fat person's life isn't much different from a slimmer person's life. And yet there are a lot of feedists (especially FAs and feeders) who treat fat people as if they are disabled. In their minds, all a fat person is good for is getting fatter. If someone - especially a thinner person - shows interest in them, it's an act of charity.
And they should be grateful for however people choose to treat them.
Some feedees and gainers play into this because they've internalized this thinking. It's also why you see a lot of plus-sized people who are clearly not into the community try to infiltrate it looking for attention. Too many people see their size as who they are instead of an aspect of who they are.
So, for people who have the intersection of fatness and disability, it's dehumanizing to relegate them to exotic people you may or may not want to sleep with. They are not pets or charity cases. They are people who happen to be different but are still people all the same.
