I became disabled in 2009. My new condition left me unable to work, and I also had to start using a wheelchair – but one change I didn’t expect was the constant abuse, the most humiliating being drunk men trying to grab my breasts and face on evenings out. I’m an easy target – if my brakes are on I can’t turn away – and, anyway, who would believe someone would grope a wheelchair user? I don’t often talk about it because I feel ashamed, something made worse by the reactions I received when I complained – like I am either making it up or should be grateful.

We asked disabled readers to write about how they are perceived by the general public. A heartbreaking panel. (via guardiancomment)

I’m reblogging this solely because of stfupenguin’s comment, which is without a doubt the best use of the English language I’ll see all day.
