All bathroom stalls should be large enough for mobility aids.

I'm so sick of being unable to use a bathroom now that I have a mobility aid.

And also, you should not put the ONLY CHANGING STATION inside of the ONLY DISABLED STALL. It is so awkward trying to use the bathroom while parents are outside holding a baby with a dirty diaper waiting for you to be done.

Friend and I went to a convention, they and their dad both use canes.

They already had their pass but had to come with me and another friend to get that other friend's pass.

The disability stall was where we were, so they were able to get a sticker on their pass to show disability.

Their dad had to walk all the way back around to get to us, because the disability stall wasn't connected to the general entrance for those who already had their pass.

While this isn't strictly deformimisia/disfiguremisia and more generalized ableism, it definitely impacts deformed/disfigured people, especially people with limb or torso deformities/disfigurements that impact their mobility.
