Is your public transit accessible to the physically disabled: some things to consider!

Note that I'm most familiar with wheelchair accessibility as I have personal experience with that, and I'll mainly be discussing buses, but many of these points can also be applied to vans or other vehicles that may be part of your public transit system. Additionally, some of these points may not be applicable to different places (i.e. a bus driver walking a disabled person to the front door of their destination works fine in a small town like mine, but isn't an option for a busy city).

Do your bus stops have even sidewalks, and a nearby incline so wheelchair users can get over the curb?

Do your bus stops have a place to sit, preferably in the shade?

Are the seats at your bus stop able to accomodate fat people?

Do the seats at your bus stop have hostile architecture meant to dissuade the homeless from getting comfortable on them? Get rid of that.

Are your bus drivers trained and willing to respect their passengers? (Are they willing to not stare or make inappropriate comments/ask personal questions?)

Does your bus have a lift and adequate space within it for a wheelchair?

Does your bus have a railing to aid people in climbing the steps?

Are your bus drivers trained and willing to aid people in climbing the steps if asked?

Are your bus drivers trained and willing to wait until a passenger is seated before they drive?

Does your bus have a way to anchor a wheelchair in place, ALONG WITH a seatbelt for the wheelchair user? Some wheelchairs- most notably the cheaper ones- aren't equipped with a seatbelt.

If a wheelchair user would prefer to sit in one of the bus' seats, are your bus drivers trained and willing to offer assistance if needed?

Is there a spot for a wheelchair user to safely store their chair if they choose to sit in one of the bus' seats?

Does your bus allow food and drink? This point is a tricky one, as some people may need to eat or drink while on the bus, such as a diabetic who urgently needs sugar, while others cannot safely be around strangers' snacks, due to an allergy or otherwise.

If food and drink are allowed, is your bus kept clean?

Does your bus have a place to dispose of trash?

Are your bus drivers trained and willing to help people into their destination if asked?

Tied to the previous point- do your bus drivers know how to safely open a door for a wheelchair user? (For example, not leaning over them to open it [???], making sure it doesn't shut on them, ect.)

Are your bus drivers trained and willing to offer aid in medical emergencies?

If there's anything I've missed, feel free to either reply to the post, or reblog with your suggestions!

Now, my final point is this: You don't have to be disabled to call out accessibility issues. Hear our voices and advocate for us. Speak up when you see issues we've mentioned! Tell store managers that their aisles are too thin, or their benches too few in number! Things don't have to be this way. Public transit is wonderful, but it's even better when it's available to everyone.

Don’t ever come at me saying “both parties are the same”

No, no they’re not. the REPUBLICANS are doing this.  

Fuck them straight to hell.

lmao i did it again

was eating in public with my gf, and a visibly trans-id girl walks up to us, complimented both of our hair, and said we "looked VERY queer" before asking to sit with us. (i dressed like total shit because i just threw things on lol)

we obliged. the pronouns are he/him, the chosen name is tyler. 16 years old, knew i was 21. we talked about our troubles with being born female and how that defines us, drug use, bigoted parents, socializing with autism, working toward being the ideal versions of ourselves BEFORE transitioning, and how gay people are not obligated to sleep with trans people. tyler agreed with every TERF talking point i said, and questioned nothing.

i was trusted so much by the end of this encounter, that tyler got in my car with me, asked me to drive to a nearby store for some things, and then drive home.

like... tyler's HOUSE. the address was plugged directly into my phone. (didn't keep it)

and we exchanged numbers before parting ways.

it is truly so fucking easy to blend. you will never find me. i really do look like you. i really do talk like you. you would invite me to your fucking doorstep if you met me, and you would have no idea. i could dangle my TERF ideology in your face beforehand, and you would have no clue.

i am utterly vindicated. seethe.

The cops knew and protected this guy while throwing her in jail.

Sorry to all the survivors of pedophilia & incest who’s abuse directly correlated with your abusers’ internet role plays, fics, etc and those of you who were exposed to them to groom/coerce you into it who now have to see ppl insist you play semantics over who gets labeled a pedophile or incest fetishist over online behavior bc “it’s not real”, as if it’s even possible for these things to exist in a vacuum untouchable by real life ppl & issues. So sorry. It’s not a non-issue, it’s not totally separate from real life abuse, you’re not crazy & what happened to you matters

Police have literally caused more active shootings than they’ve stopped.

[queerjubilee]

imagine if firefighters didnt go into a burning building full of children because they were scared of being burned. police are fucking worthless

Im done playing around with pro-anas, these bitches need to be curbstomped like nazis.

At this point idc if u think fat ppl can just "choose to be thin" or not. We should not be threatened with actual fascist rhetoric and given an ultimatum bc we aren't getting thin

Yall better start doing some serious introspection on how FUCKED-UP yall treat us or i swear ill make sure u don't have a head to introspect with!

#jfc wtf is wrong with people

telling a fat person who prefers other fat bodies and finds them attractive that they have a fat fetish is fatphobic. implying that enjoying our bodies is taboo or a fetish is fatphobic. if u are a skinny person saying these things, u are giving opinions that are not only unsolicited, but bigoted and inappropriate as well.

fat people are allowed to enjoy our bodies. we are allowed to think other fat people are hot and desirable. we are allowed to prefer attraction to fat people over skinny people. whether u like it or not

drag bars defending themselves with pepper spray and attendees from a gang of proud boys while the cops stand by and meekly retreat... if you're gay, learn how to use a firearm, familiarize yourself with weapons safety, and make sure you travel with a buddy. we protect ourselves.

don’t even compare trans rights to abortion rights. You’re disgusting

1) all marginalised peoples fight for liberation is interconnected

2) esp on abortion and trans rights, where the issue is body autonomy vs. the christian patriarchal state

3) everyone should be able to get an abortion and a sex change without the state’s permission / criminalisation

4) a separation of womens rights and trans rights represents a fundamental misunderstanding in how the patriarchy as it exists punishes both cis women and people who deviate from mandated sex, sexuality and gender norms in similar and interconnected ways. and how our liberation is ultimately (joyfully and powerfully) connected to each other

Liberation won’t come from distancing yourself from or villainising other marginalised people
