#physicallydisabled — Public Fediverse posts

"Many people with disabilities face stigma, prejudice and discrimination because of their disability... a general pattern was for #MentalHealth conditions, #IntellectualDisabilities and #autism to be judged more negatively than #PhysicalDisability or #SensoryDisability, despite everything else in the scenario being the same. #PhysicallyDisabled #women are judged more negatively than physically disabled #men with respect to having #relationships."

#Reminder that many #PhysicallyDisabled people would love to easily ride a #bicycle but it's not possible anymore for many of us & #adaptive bicycles are usually too #expensive for most #DisabledFolks - who live on #FixedIncomes - to be able to afford. Would love for nondisabled folks to not forget about huge #disabled population that cannot ride bicycles everywhere - especially when we can't even afford to buy adaptive or electric bicycles.
