What do the disabled think about the paralympics?

From the New Republic:

here’s something to ease your guilt if you skipped the Paralympics: Most disabled people don’t watch—or like—the event, either. According to a 2011 poll commissioned by U.K. disability charity Scope, nearly one in four disabled people believe the Paralympics are patronizing, and two-thirds would prefer they be merged with the Olympics. Six months before the London Games, just 11 percent of British people—and less than a quarter of British disabled people—said they were excited about the Paralympics.
For a 2013 paper in the journal Disability & Society, a team of sports researchers led by Stuart Braye - a Paralympic medalist himself - investigated disabled people’s attitudes towards the Paralympics by surveying 32 disability activists in the U.K. Braye was surprised by their “negative and at times vitriolic comments…towards Paralympic athletes.”

Should those who think that biological sex differences have no impact on performance consider having women's events at the Olympics also patronizing? (Not having gender-segregated events would result in women being awarded very few medals).
