Yeah - unless you know someone, you don't know if they are disabled or not. Part of the problem I had getting diagnosed was that one week I could be competition riding, the next I needed a cane to get out of bed. So I wouldn't call someone out unless I knew from their own words they aren't disabled. If I'm hmming, I tend to namedrop ButYouDontLookSick.com and see what the reaction is.
And yeah - I absolutely understand that everyone has tired days, but. And that's the problem, because they don't understand it's not the same for everyone. When I started having health issues I was doing some music stuff, and I had someone go "But why are you dropping out? You don't sing with your knee." No, I don't, but not being able to breathe through the pain is slightly relevant...
