The stripes represent:

- Yellow: the affirmation model of disability. Our existence is not a tragedy. Our lives and our unique viewpoints are valuable. Our bodies are beautiful. - Cyan: the social model of disability. It’s not us who are the monsters: the monstrosity we face is the ableism wrought upon us. - Olive: the eco-social model of disability. The social model focuses on how the interactions we have in our daily lives disable us. The eco-social model winds back the clock to point out that we can be disabled by social decisions made long before we were born. For example, lead pollution in POC communities is a social cause of disability. I think of this model as “social determinants of health” meets environmental justice meets disability studies. - Purple: the social construction model of disability. “Disability”, “intersex”, and related categories are created by humans, and who is and isn’t included in the categories changes over time and across cultures. For example, the historical category of “monstrous” once explicitly included both intersex, disfigured, and disabled bodies. - Cerise (pink-red): the radical model of disability. Disability is socially constructed, but in practice we disabled people don’t actually get to control the definition of disability (or intersex). Disability is hence anybody who faces ableism. And ableism does not act alone: it shares a deep history with racism and cisheteroperinormativity.
