Sydney Anne Bennett, who goes by the name ‘The Annie Girl’ on social media, lives with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), which affects how her brain communicates with her central nervous system. She recently spoke out against the attacks she has faced for her decision to have a child.<\/p>\n

On her website<\/a>, Bennett explained, “I went from completely healthy to using a wheelchair most of the time in less than one year. It has been a long road of trusting in the Lord to get this far, but He is faithful. I hope I can encourage you here and give you more confidence, joy, and hope in your chronic illness or with your mobility aid. Your life isn\u2019t over when you become disabled. I am living proof of that.”<\/p>\n

On her Instagram account<\/a>, Bennett shared that since having a baby, she has received discriminatory comments. “It’s 2024 and people are still not ready for a disabled woman to have a baby,” she wrote. She then shared a sampling of the horrific comments she has received.<\/p>\n
