People Take The Word Ambulatory Wheelchair User, And Say It Means Exclusively Part Time Wheelchair Users

People take the word ambulatory wheelchair user, and say it means exclusively part time wheelchair users and run with it.

I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user. But I’m not a part time wheelchair user. I use my wheelchair EVERY SINGLE day. That means that I’m 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 isn’t 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. I’m almost a full time crutch user, and I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user.

I am not a part time mobility aid user, and I hate that people have come to the “agreement” that ambulatory means part time, when that is quite literally, not true.

People who have been labeled "anxious" or "paranoid" can still be in legitimate danger. People who have been labeled "dramatic" and "attention seeking" still have legitimate needs. People who have been labeled "lazy" still have legitimate struggles. People who have been labeled "stupid" still have legitimate concerns. Don't dehumanize and pathologize people in the name of psychiatry

Please stop reiterating or believing that Palestinians have been “successfully” removed from North Gaza. It’s not true. There’s still Palestinians in North Gaza, there’s still journalist reporting from the North. Stop falling into these propaganda traps. https://t.co/nIdhuKbvaW

Anas is still reporting from Jabalia Camp, in North Gaza. Many Palestinians remain in the North. 

“From the heart of Jabalia camp.
The camp of resilience.. the coverage will continue God willing.” https://t.co/4PbMbhLLjM

The claim that the north has been “successfully cleansed” is to sow defeatism, erase/silence the Palestinians remaining in the north, and give full impunity for Israel to continue carrying out more horrific massacres north of the strip.

There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Northern Gaza

Wild concept that shouldn’t be wild and the coldest take ever: disabled adults are *adults* and not just children trapped in adult bodies

Disabled adults have sex

Disabled adults do drugs

Disabled adults curse

Disabled adults get piercings and tattoos

Disabled adults can make adult decisions and act and behave like adults because we are adults

It’s just so weird for people to constantly infantilize me all because of my mobility aids when I’m not a child!!!
