    It’s exhausting to express a level of compassion for people who haven’t done the same.

      Wow, that's outrageously narcissistic if nothing else, pretty sure the trans community don't want it called a disability. Of course you don't see how much anger is directed at trans people on a daily basis, just for going about their business. It seems to personally offend some people, still no excuse for abusing someone waiting for a bathroom. A simple apology isn't that hard surely.

      If they didn’t NEED the stall for mobility reasons and they were taking away your opportunity to use the bathroom, then they can piss off.

      I don't think being trans is a disability and I don't think they should be using wheelchair accessible toilets or spaces.

    i really believe people using stairs and making small changes definitely add up to aid weight loss

    Almost all public restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Do you mean an accessible stall? Those are definitely reserved for wheelchair users. Cancer patients are NOT entitled to bigger stalls as they can use normal sized ones just fine.

      YOU ARE MISTAKEN. A WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE STALL IS NOT STRICTLY FOR A WHEELCHAIR USER. IT IS FOR ANY PERSON WHO REQUIRES EXTRA ROOM FOR TOILETING. EG PERSONS WITH AN OSTOMY, A PERSON WHO REQUIRES TOILETING ASSISTANCE FROM ANOTHER PERSON/S . . .

      @@debs2026 You make yourself look absolutely ridiculous with the caps my friend. The poster didn’t say anything about the people you are talking about. The point is - if you don’t need the extra space, you’re taking the space away from someone who does. So calm down please.

      I’m not sure you can say that almost all public restrooms are accessible. Have you experienced almost all public restrooms in order to verify this fact? Or perhaps just those local to you.

      @@cfalkner1012 I live in America. I can't speak for any other country. I've used plenty of public restrooms in various places such as parks, malls, theaters, restaurants, etc. I've travelled outside my state and have had the same experience. Never had trouble entering public restrooms. Never had problems reaching the sink. Some are smaller than others but there was always enough space to accomodate my wheelchair. Now when we talk about stalls, that's a different ballgame. Not all public restrooms have wheelchair accessible stalls.

      @@debs2026 I don't have to list EVERY disability that requires extra space for toileting. If I did that I'd be sitting here all day. Reason why I mentioned wheelchair users only is because I wanted to keep it short and simple but still get my point across. But sure, if you're morbidly obese, for example, you're entitled to a bigger stall. You can stop crying now.

      Wow she sounds like a character! Hopefully she won’t end up in a wheelchair one day.
      I am ashamed to admit, but many years ago in my younger days, I used the disabled bays and toilets 😔
      And look what happened to me! 🤣

    I wish I could walk
    My dreams show me striding out
    But I wake in pain and sadness
    This world is not designed for me
    I wish I could walk
    What would you do
    When life leaves you so broken
    I cannot find a positive way
    Each day a reminder
    Of what is lost and cannot renew
    I wish I could walk
    Over hills and Glens
    With a dog or a friend
    Finding joy in my humanity
    But instead I dwell alone
    Society offers pity and shame
    I dwell alone in a bleak trap
    Incapable of the simplest step
    Restricted from the easiest path
    Lost in the most profound way
    I wish I could walk
    What more can I say
    It is so simple in every way
    Impossible to find any meaning
    In living today

      I'm sorry you feel that way, but the truth is, walking does not equal happiness, the sooner you internalise that, the quicker you can move on with a full life. I would like to redirect you to a video I made about this, and I truly hope it helps
