Like a month ago I messaged a craft group about accessibility for wheelchairs and the answer I got was āthereās a lot of stairs but we have cute boys who can carry youā. And itāsā¦not good. As a wheelchair bound person I largely depend on people when I want to go out and do *anything* so Iām used to it, I laugh it off, make an annoyed post about it and off I go. But I wanna just say a thing real quick.
Even if I wasnāt gay, wasnāt a survivor scared of men, getting help as a disabled person is justā¦Not a pleasant thing to us! Imagine for a sec how youād feel being carried up a flight of stairs. Youāre a grown person. Youāre being touched in an awkward way. Youād rather do it yourself. Youāre So Uncomfortable. Itās not where I look for the beginning of a romantic relationship. So likeā¦could abled people stop doing this thing where they think helping us in a condescending and infantilizing way is cute? Cause Iām real tired. Just get me a ramp or lift and Iām cool. I donāt need a dating service when Iām just trying to go about my day
If youāre abled please reblog it cause likeā¦the more ppl knows the better
