We need to move past only talking about accessibility to recognising that understanding and coming to terms with how ableism works is necessary to even do accessibility well.

Accessibility is the work to remove barriers constructed for disabled people produced by ableist systems.

If you fix the barriers without addressing the systemic issues that produced the barriers they’ll just come back again.
