I’m not sure saying you think that a “disabled person’s opinion on the matter weighs more” is believable when you follow it up by saying that you felt an even greater need to call out their “outrageous” opinion because they are disabled. If a disabled person’s opinion on the matter weighs more, you might try actually listening to that opinion when they’re kind enough to share it with you and giving some effort to understand it, instead of just dismissing it as outrageous.
