Also, am I the only one who finds being "sat" dreadfully awkward?
OMG, YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THAT! I am frankly deeply grateful to the wheeelchair-using community for giving me the words to explain why having someone else move my actual body around without my consent and out of my control is not "nice manners" but is in fact a dreadful violation of my bodily autonomy. (Also, I hate having doors held for me by strange men--- that just lets a total stranger get behind me in close proximity to me--- it makes me vulnerable, see: Schrodinger's Rapist issues. Especially if my hands are full.)
...wow, those feels were sitting around in the back of my head waiting to come out. Thank you for giving me a place to say that.
