People with disabilities belonging to the Coronavirus high-risk group speak out about social distancing and why you should stay at home.

Gabriel is a non-binary podcaster, drag king/gender performer named “Can-I-Bliss,” a disability rights advocate and educator. They have an undiagnosed neuromuscular illness as well as a multitude of syndromes, including orthostatic intolerance, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. Gabriel uses art and drag to demedicalize themselves and the multiple aids they need and have needed to function over the years. Gabriel says you should always remember ‘your highness’ is a gender-neutral pronoun. 

In Gabriel’s video, they speak about the current situation in Canada, triage plans that put people with disabilities at a disadvantage, and discrimination in health care.
