tales from a wheelchair users recent nightmarish encounter with a bus driver;

i was omw home from being in town, we kind of live on the countryside of our area so i took the bus. first of all, the horror in the bus drivers eyes when he realised that i, a wheelchair user, was going to ride on the bus was at first comedic to witness.

he struggled to get the lift out at first but it didn’t take too long thankfully, so i thought that it was gonna be a smooth trip but oh oh i was so wrong.

he asked me where i was getting off and i told him my bus stop, and yet, as we get close to my stop he simply just drives past it. despite me telling him where to stop and help me off, despite me pressing the disabled stop button, despite me waving to him and calling him.

and he drives past the next two stops as well, despite me doing the same as above, again.

i eventually had to turn around to the closest passenger and ask them to go up to him to get him to realise that he just ignored me for three stops and to help me off.

he finally came to help and started struggling with the lift, bouncing me like 1 meter up in the air. he finally figured out where the down button is (there are two buttons, up and down, wtf.) and i start to wheel off the platform, except he didn’t let me off completely before pressing the up button again & almost tipped the wheelchair backwards with me in it due to me still having my front wheels on the lift.

i tell him that he was supposed to help me three stops ago, and all he had to say was “oops i’m sorry”.

and then i had to drive (electric chair) 15-20 minutes home on a road with no side walks, amongst the cars going like 80km/h.

completely normal to fear for your life when riding the bus, right? (sarcasm)

when someone points out that something is ableist you actually don't have to admit to doing it

like when I talk about discrimination I do not want to hear "I've done this before. [insert story about how they were bigoted towards people like me] I will do better though" do you want an award? for doing the bare minimum of not continuing to harass and belittle disabled people?

literally no one wants to hear about your bigotry

[cripple-council]

yall have vastly improved my (and many peoples) relationship with our disabilities and i cannot thank you enough for being vocal about your experiences

ur gonna make me cry 😭

I’m a 24 year old trans man with a spinal cord injury, 11 metal vertebrae (soon to be 12) and endometriosis, lymphocytic colitis and bipolar disorder. I’ve been waiting for 2.5 years to get on SSDI and sometimes I need help paying for things like the bus and groceries and medical bills 🖤 I am in a lot of debt from this process even tho I’m on foodstamps and owe my life to my tumblr friends and mutuals for helping me along the way 🥰🤧 thank you so much 🖤 happy new years 🎉
