S4 Ep. 02 If Your Body Is a Temple, Why Aren't Disabled Bodies Respected?

In this episode of PWD Allies podcast, we delve into a thought-provoking discussion about the treatment of disabled bodies in our society today. The concept of treating our bodies like temples is often emphasized, but is this ideology equally applied to all individuals, regardless of their physical abilities? We'll explore the social stigma and stereotypes that disabled individuals face, and examine whether our society truly values and respects their bodies as sacred temples. This video aims to spark a crucial conversation about inclusivity, acceptance, and the importance of creating a more equitable environment for everyone. By sharing personal stories and real-life examples, we hope to raise awareness and promote a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding disability and societal treatment.Also discussed: What is provincial government's opinion on Body As A Temple?

Tune in to be a part of this essential discussion and let's work together to build a more compassionate and inclusive world.PWD Allies podcast airs every week on YouTube, hosted by Brent Frain. ** This episode was pre-recorded and then released on January 5, 2026.
