The Checkup with Doctor Mike · She Doesn't Want To Cure Her Blindness | Molly Burke · 12 Oct 2025 podcast

Yes, the average person doesn't want to lose their limb.

And look, I don't recommend going blind.

I'm not out here like we should all go blind.

It's so fun, it sucked.

I don't wish this on my worst enemy.

But I also wanna be so clear that I can live just as full of life, just as happy, be just as successful when given access to opportunity, to accommodations, to community,

And that's what we need to realize is that so much of not wanting to be disabled and so much of the struggle when you become disabled is ableism.

And a lot of people who become newly disabled deal with internalized ableism just as I did.

And it's again, that journey of unlearning, unpacking all of that and relearning.

And there's a lot of narratives that really play into this like inspiration, porn ableism, saying things like, I'm not handicapped, I'm handy capable.

I'm not disabled, I'm differently abled.

I'm not differently abled.

I am disabled.

And that's not a dirty word.

But when we tiptoe around it, when we don't even want to say the word disabled.

And for the record, it's not special needs.

I have needs.

Like everybody has needs.

And my needs are individualized just as yours are.

You need glasses.
