Kobe Radio reported that a dwarf artist who attended Yamal's birthday party issued a statement in response to the content previously condemned by the Association of Skeletal Dysplasia and other skeletons with dwarfism and other voices from the outside world.
Statement is as follows↓
Before discussing the issue in depth, we must first make it clear: the ADEE Association does not represent us, nor does it represent our position.
As adults with chondrolysis, we have our own independent voice, judgment and ability to determine our personal life and career development.
We are not members of the association and they have not sought our opinions or opinions until publicly accusing incidents involving us.
No one can claim to represent the entire group without listening to the opinions of the relevant personnel. Speech for the dignity and rights of people with disabilities, but cannot suppress our voices or make decisions for us from a paternalistic perspective.
After this clarification, we express our personal position:
1-We are independent individuals and have the right to decide our own lives. Everyone is free to make decisions.
2-We strongly oppose any hints about our being ridiculed or exploited, and these claims are publicly spread without evidence. Those who blame us without knowing us are depriving us of our humanity and autonomy.
3-For legal reasons for keeping all participants confidential, we cannot mention the specific details of the activity, but we must defend our professionalism against public remarks that have doubts about our work and personal dignity.
4-We urge the ADEE and any other parties to perform their duties responsibly, not to generalize, not to speak on behalf of others, and not to turn us into speech tools that are inconsistent with our personal experiences.
5-If false information is continued to be spreading that damages our reputation and public image, we reserve the right to take legal action.
We want to say loudly and explicitly: We are very honored to be invited to this event. It was a professional and human experience and we were respected.
True inclusion means accepting that we also have the right to decide our own way of life and should not be judged or exploited. We should live with respect, firm belief and raising our heads.
