I'm kind of tired of people speaking for wheelchair users and claiming that label when they don't regularly use a wheelchair.

a lot of mobility aid users get frustrated when someone who has temporarily used mobility aids for an injury tries to speak as if they understand the experience of mobility aid users. it's widely understood that they don't and that their experience is not the same as that of someone who uses mobility aids regularly for a disability.

for some reason many disabled people will do the same with wheelchairs.

I see people acknowledge that they have only used a wheelchair a couple of times, that they do so with no regularity, and then speak for us. they speak about the discrimination we experience, the accessibility we need, they claim our identities. it's like they think we can't speak for ourselves. there are so many wheelchair users on every platform who are capable of speaking about whatever you think you need to talk about and we can do so with actual authority on the subject and real experience and knowledge.

you do not have the right to claim the experience of being a wheelchair user if you have only used a wheelchair a couple of times. knock it off.

leave talking about wheelchairs and the experiences of wheelchair users to actual fucking wheelchair users.

NYPD are like uuuuh we still haven't found the killer but we did find footage of a different, equally mysterious man with rogueish charisma and a dazzling smile. If that helps
