How to get able bodied people out of the handicapped stalls
Guys I just figured out this way to help! So when you get into the bathroom and someone is in the handicapped stall, act like people just walked in and say “oh no you go ahead, I’m just waiting for the handicapped stall since I’m handicapped.” That way you don’t have to “call out” the person using the stall but you still get them out fast.

Concept: Robots directly helping disabled people in their daily lives. Robots which know 1,000x more commands than even the best service dog. Robots that can cook you food when you suffer exhaustion or pain. Robots that will never judge you or imply you are a burden for needing extra help.

The spoiled millionaire brats in the NFL will never know what real sacrifice is.
God Bless our troops who protect our freedom, which also includes the freedom of the NFL thugs to act like the trash they are.

Disabled person: I’m disabled.
Able bodied person: well I know someone who works with them and she says they prefer differently abled. You’re offensive.
Disabled person:… I’m literally talking about myself as a disabled person.

Hey, yo, real talk? Disabled bodies, bodies that have been marginalized by society on account of not being “healthy” in a conventional sense? They’re fucking beautiful. Every single part of every single one. Even the places where the “problems” are. And mobility aids and assistive devices are beautiful too. So are stim toys. So are pill bottles. All of these things are signs that we are revolutionary simply for existing, whether this revolution is something we choose to make visible or not and I think that is beautiful. Disabled bodies are beautiful. Disabled people are beautiful. And don’t you dare let anybody tell you otherwise, whether you’re abled or not.

Honestly being disabled affects so many LGBT+ people.
In my town there is only 1 bar that has wheelchair access and guess what?! It’s not the gay bar!
Gay bars are also not accessible (the vast majority of the time) to those who are sensitive to bright lights and loud sounds. Example; some people with epilepsy, autism, PTSD, Tourettes, social anxiety, ect.
The pride march I went to last year would not be accessible (reasonably) for someone in a wheelchair or let’s be real, anyone who can’t walk for an hour +.
The local LGBT+ group I meet up at tries to be accessible but often forgets that if a location has to be changed then the same level of access will almost certainly not apply to the new location.
The LGBT+ friendly bookshop I visited while overseas had a tiny door which barely fit my small wheelchair. There was also a step halfway through the store which meant I only got to view half of the books that were aimed at me.
A lot of LGBT+ resources online are not set out in a way that people with visual or learning disabilities can easily read, or read at all.
The LGBT+ community as a whole (not just the disabled members) need to make a conscious effort to include disabled people where-ever and whenever possible.
We are just as much a part of the community as abled body/minded people.
This is 100% okay for able body/minded people to reblog too.
you know what disabled trope I hate more than any other trope even disabled person dying because life isn’t worth living or disabled supervillain is evil because they’re bitter about their disability? It’s the person fakes a disability trope. like when you’ve got a character claiming to be disabled for money/attention etc then suddenly they stand up from their wheelchair or maybe someone is claiming to be too ill to get out of bed but then they’re caught doing something. It paints disabled people as lying fakes who are trying to do something bad or manipulative and if you see a disabled person do anything or getting out of their wheelchair/not using their cane they must be faking.
Also there is the one where the disabled person either uses or fakes disability to manipulate or trap their partner or family and you’ve got this evil disabled person who is abusing the poor abled victim (even though disabled people are more likely to be abused by abled people rather than the other way around). This makes people believe that a disabled person who needs a lot of care and rely “too much” on their loved ones as someone who is taking advantage and being a burden to their loved ones and maybe the big bad disabled person controlling, abusing and maybe even lying to their loved ones who then perceived as victims just because they care for a disabled family member/partner.
It makes people think that these things are commonly done by disabled people. It’s also a very believable trope (unlike disabled supervillain for example) and people see it being used regularly (not just in fiction but in the media in general) and think “wow I can’t believe people do this so often, I better keep my eye out for these people.”
I can’t even begin to describe how harmful this is to us. It actually puts us in danger. People are so used to hearing about or seeing stories in the media about someone who has faked a disability so they constantly second guess us and we live in fear of doing something that may give someone the wrong impression. Stop using this trope in fiction. Stop making tv programs about benefit cheats. Stop putting loads of stories and false statistics on the news and in the paper of people faking disability. let the faking/using a disability for personal gain trope die.
All smiles because there’s nothing more fun than long-distance recalls!

who said cripples can’t be sexy??
Thank you for reblogging the nurse and transgender patient treatment article. I sent it to my roommate who is studying to be a nurse bc she told me how her class on culturally competent care was *not* informative (haven't heard back from her). I told her in a kinda offhand comment that I'm nb (but f according to the school) and she was really chill about it, which was nice. And, really, thank you for your entire blog. It's a joy to read your supportive responses, posts, and reblogs
I’m so glad it was helpful for you! I was also really excited about it. Healthcare is a really tricky subject for a lot of folx, especially disabled queer and trans people. It’s a huge topic of interest for me. I’m glad you got something out of it and were able to share it!
I’m happy that this blog can be a supportive and educational space for folx!

How to handiecaped
Storytime: Recently, at the bookstore, I was quietly browsing the shelves when an adorable toddler came racing over. He had probably just escaped from his mother and was having a fun time when he suddenly noticed me. He stopped in his tracks, and curiously exclaimed,“Oh!” as he noticed me standing there with my crutches and leg braces. He looked down at my feet and his eyes slowly moved up from my shoes, to my braces, to my crutches and finally my face. I smiled at him. He paused, then cheerfully shouted, “Hi!” smiling and waving back before toddling his way around me exclaiming what sounded like, “Oh!” and, “excuse me, sorry, excuse me.” He was so adorable, my heart nearly burst. End.
