So often #LivedExperienceVoices are excluded from research because of communication barriers. If you aren't hearing from ALL #LexVoices directly, you will be missing vital #LivedExpertise

It was fantastic! We're really excited too. #LivedExpertise needs to be valued from everyone.

Listening to #LivedExperienceVoices doesn't just mean those deemed acceptable to mainstream society. Everyone deserves a voice, and deserves to have their #LivedExpertise valued. This includes prison experienced people, who are far more likely to have experienced other marginalisations too!
THREAD: It's #prisonersweek in Scotland, so here's a thread on #howprisonsilences people in prison and why that's a problem for rehabilitation and democracy. To make it easy, each silencing mechanism begins with a 'D'.

Anyone who thinks future #Affordabilty is not directly linked to the situation in the USA right now is stuck in the past. If you think you had it tough 4 months ago, it’s only going to get worse next month.
Don’t hang your hopes on false promises.

Real Talk About Independent Living: A New Peer-Led Program
March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. We’re kicking it off with big news. Our new Real Talk series is out! Real Talk programs are created for self-advocates, by self-advocates. That means they are not just participants. They are leaders and teachers. Self-advocate leaders in the Real Talk series are paid for their work. They are recognized for their lived expertise.

Things go very badly wrong when the people with #LivedExpertise aren't in the room. At Lex Scotland we stand with our trans siblings, especially as a business with trans #LexLeadership
#TransWomenAreWomen
The Supreme Court is due to rule tomorrow on the Equality Act. But it didn’t hear from a single trans person.

It’s vital that people are in the room when their rights and freedoms are on the line.

That #LivedExpertise is valid, that Disabled people are reliable narrators of their own experiences, and that discrimination and oppression of Disabled people is very real and ongoing. So many therapists sadly frame our struggles as something that is our individual problem, not a social problem.
