[il-talk] Proving your blindness

[Lin H.]

Good afterrnoon Federationists!    I was thinking of , when you're with 
someone and they seem to do the talking for you!    I don't like that! 
Like, if someone else would hold a door open for us, the person I was with 
would say thank you!  I have a mouth!  I can talk for myself   Also, if I 
was at the cashier with someone, and the cashier gives them the change from 
my transaction.  I have my hand out, but, either the cashier didn't see it, 
or just wanted to give to the sighted person?    !    That's another pet 
peev I'm sure from time to time we all have to deal with!
Sincerely,    Linda

Let me say it a different way. I'm sure along the line, you've all been told 
by someone that you spend a lot of time trying to prove yourself because of 
your blindness. I tend to react negatively when I hear this statement. And 
I'm wondering how others may react, positively or negatively? Do you ever 
feel like proving yourself or that you can do things gets in the way of 
living your life for being yourself? Thoughts? This could start a good 
discussion.
