As a CisMobilityAid user, I want all TransMobilityAid users to know that them using mobility aids is not at all "taking away resources" and that they're actually doing a lot for public disability acceptance.

While it's true that high quality and super advanced mobility aids may be hard for CisDisabled people to get (mostly due to most CisDisabled people also tending to be poor) the more people that buy them at all will make the demand higher and hopefully eventually lower the cost in the future since more people will be willing to provide high tier mobility aids if they see the money in producing them.

Plus, low grade or average mobility aids are super easy to get. We got most of ours off Amazon or from local stores. These are often in stock all the time and there are tons of choices to choose from (though a lot are technically the same thing but from different companies). There is no way you are "taking away" anything from a CisDisabled person; they'll also be able to find mobility aids for themselves.

And on top of all of that, the more people who openly use mobility aids, the more that they will become normalized— especially if younger appearing people start using them more and more. It will also lower the stigmatization for CisDisabled people who don't need to use their mobility aids all the time, such as ambulatory wheelchair users.

There are literally no tangible downsides to TransAbled people using mobility aids even if they "don't have to". The only possible downside is the increased risk of violence due to being perceived as disabled; though I'm sure that's a risk most TransAbled people have already weighed if they're considering buying or using mobility aids.

Basically, if you're TransAbled and considering getting mobility aids but have some anxiety about it this is your sign to go get those mobility aids and be proud about it!

Psa for transmobilityaid/mobility aidqior/transabled folks from a ciscaneuser

if you have the means and the desire but you’re too scared, go buy that aid!!! thousands of people just. start using aids one day. that’s normal and completely alright. you’re not stealing from anyone- the cane section is never out of stock in my local stores, and many more expensive aids are made to order or have plenty in stock. nobody really asks, and if they do, it’s perfectly okay to give them a vague answer, because even if you’re transabled, it would be Weird of them to ask that of a cisabled person! and you can tell them that it’s not their business. we need to normalize mobility aids- you will never be stealing if you’re fighting for that cause. go get your aid if you can!!!

im being serious, i really need a way to get some sort of mobility aid. preferably forearm crutches or a wheelchair. i wont go as far as to chop off a leg but i do want results that last as long as possible. at the very least, whats a not too painful way to disable yourself to having a limp? im feeling extremely dysphoric and i need to be in a hospital + have my leg(s) work less functionally.

People who don't experience limb dysphoria will never understand that no amount of being reminded of how much harder life would be will fix it. I know the amputee in a wheelchair across the room has a hard life. This does not make the surge of my dysphoria go away, I cannot just keep reminding myself that society is not accessible to amputees and hope that it goes away. It's so irritating to open up to someone about these feelings, just for them to go 'you don't really want that, amputees have such hard lives :(' because no shit, captain obvious, but that doesn't stop me from occasionally wanting to rip off my legs!

Moffs sys has been having lots of dreams lately where we has a cane (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)

While being in a severe chronic illness flare up definitely sucked ass, our therapist did bring up to our mom that we should start considering mobility aids for the bad days and that made our transcaneuser ass pretty euphoric lmao
