you! random leftist! can you spread awareness about oppression being enacted by non-white/non-western people without either getting wildly bigoted, trying to force the situation to be a carbon copy of American racial dynamics, or just ignoring the whole thing entirely?
People take the word ambulatory wheelchair user, and say it means exclusively part time wheelchair users and run with it.
Iβm an ambulatory wheelchair user. But Iβm not a part time wheelchair user. I use my wheelchair EVERY SINGLE day. That means that Iβm not a part time wheelchair user, because I use it more than part time. A lot more than part time.
There seems to be this new rhetoric, that ambulatory = part time. And for most, this isnβt the case. Ambulatory does not mean part time, it simply means that you can walk.
I can walk around my room unassisted by any mobility aids. I cannot walk to the lunch room which is literally up the hall without a mobility aid. Iβm almost a full time crutch user, and Iβm an ambulatory wheelchair user.
I am not a part time mobility aid user, and I hate that people have come to the βagreementβ that ambulatory means part time, when that is quite literally, not true.

I feel like most able bodied people see wheelchairs as the worst thing that could happen to a person. When I discuss my want to have a wheelchair for various reasons, most peoples first reaction is to be surprised that I could voluntarily consider that.
But what they fail to consider is that, unlike them, I very much hate walking. It causes me pain and fatigue, it is a miserable experience.
So to any able bodied person reading this, yes some wheelchair users like walking, some want to gain that ability back, but that does not invalidate the feelings of wheelchair users who absolutely hate walking.
i don't care how uncomfortable you are around cis men, queer cis men still need places to go, and sometimes, those spaces will be shared with yours. disabled and neurodivergent queer men and queer men of color especially need a place to go. the queer community isn't the "fuck cis men" community. that is the rad fem community. if you think cis men and people who read as cis men are inherently "too scary" or shouldn't be allowed in queer spaces, you joined the wrong community.
