Think about having limited vision as in eyesight and legally blind and how there is more then one type of vision. Physical kind of vision and impairment are types of visions that a lot of us aren"t open to. The types of legal visions and limits on the visions are there to construct barriers to access faced by many people in society. It"s the visions through social and economic and political that these ideas of people can be disabling. Compared to racism and sexism we have much further to go in beginning to acknowledge in systemic discrimination based on the disability and connection between racism and sexism since they are not obvious.
