Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

We are not your inspiration. Getting groceries is not brave. Going to work is not a miracle. Inspiration porn takes ordinary disabled lives and repackages them as motivation for non-disabled onlookers, and the wheelchair user in the tee got filmed loading her own car by a stranger who posted it as a beautiful moment. This tee declines the role.

Wear it to the grocery store parking lot, the disability pride march, the disability studies lecture, the media training for journalists, and the family dinner where a relative shares the video. It is a strong gift for a wheelchair user, a disability studies student, a journalist who learned the term, and the friend who asked the stranger to delete it.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a media training for journalists. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the deleted-video entry on our disability rights page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

Is this the camera version of disability pride not pity? Same objection, aimed at the camera instead of the compliment. The person wearing it got filmed loading groceries.

Would a disability media group order these for the training? Programs do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black and Bay. Blossom for the march.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the hearing, the clinic, Disability Pride Month in July, the parking lot where someone took your spot.

Fabric and fit

Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz 100 percent ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it feels broken in from the first wear. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 4XL in eight colors. Double-needle stitching, no side seams, sewn-in label.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
