Crip studies and the queer theory have a stark similarity. Society is misguided on how they think both communities want to be treated. In both subjects, people associated with these categories feel that their groups are labeled abnormal. Society tries to compensate by trying to do special favors and accommodations for disabled people and have events such as gay awareness month.The similarity between these two groups is that they both want to be included in the normal group and not to be seen as there is nothing wrong with them. In Alison Kafer's Feminist, Queer, Crip, she says Not only do these kinds of exercises focus of the alleged failures and hardships of disabled bodies (an inability to see, and inability to walk), they also present disability as a knowable fact of the body(Kafer 4). Kafer states this in reference to disability awareness activities practiced in several schools. This quote explains how society sees disability as a problem or something that is wrong with the person. Although the community might falsely think they are helping people understand the problems and issues one faces with a disability, they are also unknowingly acknowledging the fact that disability is a problem. Several voices of the crip community would argue that there is nothing wrong with them, and that they should be included in society as a normal functioning member. This argument falls in line with a queer theorist's argument. People view both parties in a binary way. Either you are a '1' and you are normal or you are a '0' and you are abnormal, in which the queer and crip community would unfortunately fall under '0'. They both wish to abolish this distinction between them and the rest of society. A final similarity I find is the complexity of the both situation. In the crip community, they want help because they may not be able to physically be able to do certain tasks ;however, they want to be viewed as normal so they also don't want special treatment at the same time. Similarly, the queer community want people to acknowledge them as equals so there would be no need for public awareness ;however, there are people out there that believe that there is a difference so the vagueness comes in play here. Some members of the group would argue that there is no need for a queer awareness month, there should be nothing to explain or highlight. People that associate with the queer or crip community want people to see that there is nothing different between them and other members of the society.
