Disabled person: These plans for walkable cities are literally impossible for people who can’t travel long distances without motorized transport or who require large mobility aids to live in, we should probably work on that
Able bodied self-proclaimed “leftists”: Ugh disabled people are so petty! I can’t believe you’re this angry about the word “walkable!” You just want to make an issue out of everything!
i’m unable to move out of my parents place post-uni, and i’ve seen other friends in the uk also struggling to find accommodation & have to make serious compromises just to find places to live.
this has made me super curious about the housing crises globally, and how people in my age group are living!
please if you answer this poll, put the country you currently live in in the tags! and please reblog for a decent sample size! <33
And you can’t even boycott the most famous TERF in the UK

Some would say, because I use mobility aids, I count as “visibly” disabled.
The truth is, it doesn’t matter.
Abled people still don’t see me. Or they see right through me. They don’t offer me a seat. They don’t get out of my way. They don’t educate their kids to not mess with my mobility aids.
Visibly disabled or not, when ableists choose to not see us, they don’t see any of us. To them, we’re all invisible.
