I hate that post going round that’s like “haha you wouldn’t tell a disabled guy he’s using his crutch as a crutch” ecause that very thing literally happens to people that use mobility aids.
I can’t count how many time people (including physiotherapists who’re supposed to be understanding and help me) have said “you need to stop relying on your crutches” and the like.
I literally had a physiotherapist remove my crutches from under me without my consent and tell me to walk.
And it’s not even a rare thing.
Wheelchair users get told they need to stop relying on their wheelchairs, cane users get told they shouldn’t rely on their canes etc.
I’m just so bored with the depression-centric ableism rhetoric, erasing the ableism people with physical and visable disabilities experience
I can’t believe this needs to be said, but…
- Withholding medication from a disabled person is not a joke, it’s not a punishment, it’s abuse.
- Withholding mobility equipment from a disabled person is not a joke, it’s not a punishment, it’s abuse.
- Withholding stim toys, comfort items or similar from a disabled person is not a joke, it’s not a punishment, it’s abuse.
- Stopping a disabled person from using harmless routines or coping mechanism is not a joke, it’s not a punishment, it’s abuse.
Stop.

Wheelchairs are used for many disabilities; it could be very painful to walk, one may lack the strength to walk, be prone to fainting, have hypermobility, shortness of lung capacity, fragility of joints, muscles, or skin etc.
REBLOG so people STOP harassing wheelchair users when they stand up and even WALK out their chairs in public.
