when i read “the girl in the chair” for dahyun my brain immediately thought wheelchair for a sec, but i understood what u mean after a second 😂
that being said tho now…… thats cannon in my head… the mystery machine being an old beat up van that datzu planned the mods for, chaeng painted, & the team assembled to fit both their need for comms equipment, 9 person capacity and mobility equipment/ramp/tie downs for the wheelchair
anyway all that to say i am already making headcannons for ur au i love ur ideas sm
also like u dont have to post this at all i just wanted to share. i dont want u to think im tryna like change ur au u kno?

I think you're decontextualizing too much and talking from a privileged point of view. I'm not arguing with the objectivity of what your point is, but it's a very bland flat hill to die on, in my opinion. People can totally agree to disagree, but the whole "good luck living this way" or "it's never gonna happen" is nothing but a shrugging off problems just because they don't belong to you.
Of course trans folks have deeper issues, we've been fighting in a society that, by default, does not accept us and we're forced to explain our very existence on a daily (or whoever cares to, to be honest I dropped that one ball there). So that's why it's important to make people who are coming from said privileged spots (mind, I'm not using the word "privileged" to hop on a high horse and offend anyone) understand how some things are very easy adjustments to make to accommodate minorities. And you don't really need to know/profoundly understand /why/ it's important for them, you can simply trust it is if they say so.
It's like saying "why would I use City money to build a stupid ramp when wheelchair users can struggle a little and learn to climb a 3 inches step" or "why would I stop staring at that person's ass if it's out and it's natural for me to look at it" because you want to be better and it's not that deep.
Yet again, agree to disagree if adding "assigned at birth" is such an inconvenience. No one is word obsessed, but personally speaking I'll bend the usage of my language as much as I can to make sure everyone around me is comfortable and feels safe, I don't care and need to know why.
How am I decontextualizing or talking from a privileged point of view? I mean I suppose I am in that I am not trans? I'll give you that.
Why is my point of view a bland hill to die on but insisting on changing female/male to afab/amab isnt?
No I just truly believe and came to the realistic conclusion it will never happen, not in any of our lifetimes at least. Do you really expect that this is going to become the new normal, in every country and culture? Seriously?
Yeah damn straight Im shrugging it off, I cant help people who are determined to be unhappy over word choice. Its not my problem, as you said. Everyone elses life will go on as normal, only they will be stuck on this and being unhappy, only hurting themselves.
Changing a language is not "very easy adjustment", not at all. I mean clearly, or else all this fighting wouldnt be happening right? And ok, say English changes. What, now every other language in the world has to change? Oh boy, thats going to lead to a lot of confusion and fighting. Sounds kinda problematic too, to insist other cultures and countries have to change their languages to match the more enlightened English. Colonist vibes.
Lets have realistically attainable goals. Lets focus on what really matters- like violent hate crimes against transpeople. People who are sooo passionate about political correctness and word choice should maybe, idk, do something real to help. Volunteer or work to help transpeople. But see they dont actually care about transpeople, they just get off on the self righteousness and false sense of moral superiority.
Its not about understanding why its important to them, I understand that it is. But unfortunately, reality doesnt give a shit about peoples emotions or whats important to them. (and clearly its not ok to disagree, because then you get labeled as a terf or whatever else new acronym...)
If you want to compare it to that, its more like if people in wheelchairs insisted that all stairs should be banned- ramps only- and you cant call them disabled anymore, everyone else is un-disabled. Society will never build itself around to a minority population, and shouldnt because it makes no sense.
Its not about "doing better" or peoples feelings. This is the main difference in thought process I think- some people view it as a moral social issue, some people view it as a issue of reality and logic.
What is a female? What is a male? A woman? A man? Whats the differences between them? Whats the difference between sex and gender? Are trans people actually transsexual or transgender? Is it even possible to be transsexual since you will never have the desired sex's gametes? Can someone be a female man or a male woman? At some point we need some god damn definitions. We cant just make words mean whatever we want them to.
Why not just have females, males, and transfemales and transmales?? Men, women, transmen, transwomen. That makes way more sense. Why would the majority and a whole ass language change to fit the minority? And even with the use of "cis", "trans" is still in use so attaching "cis" is pretty redundant either way!

Heyo, this is my first time asking (im kinda new to tumblr, so please dont judge) if you would'nt mind, could you do some headcannons (or oneshots, it dosen't matter) with all the demon bros and a MC who is crippled/paralized in their legs, and has to use a wheelchair to get around? Thank you!!
——————————-
This is the first time I’ve written about a crippled MC, so I hope I didn’t fuck this up or anything. I found out that being paralysed in both legs is a disability called Paraplegia so that’s how I titled this post. And y’all are too sweet, you are more than welcome anon! I hope I can portray this properly because I am not crippled myself so I’ve opted to do some research before writing this! I hope you like it! Also, I feel inclined to add that none of the brothers would treat you too differently if you happen to have a disability because you’re their human nonetheless :)
——————————-
The Brothers with an MC that has Paraplegia and needs a wheelchair to get around:
Lucifer:
-Lucifer was in charge of choosing the final human, exchange student for the program so it’s guaranteed he already knew about your predicament before you even arrived
-Him and Diavolo probably had many meetings concerning your disability before the program could commence, considering that being unable to walk would double the chances of you getting killed since you are obviously more vulnerable
-Not to mention all the treatment you would require
-Lucifer is not well versed in human illnesses and disorders, but he makes sure that he is educated enough on the matter before you get brought down there
-It would not be easy, but he is determined to help you survive your year in DevilDom for the prince’s sake
-First problem of the day was, of course, your wheelchair
-Due to lack of time, Lucifer was unable to instal ramps around the House of Lamentation which meant that for the first couple of weeks, someone would’ve had to help you move around certain parts of the house
-He gave that highly prestigious job to himself because he didn’t trust his brothers and thought they would accidentally drop you and your wheelchair down the stairs
-He talks a lot to you, even at the beginning, because he needs to establish your needs and what he should do to make sure you don’t die for the following year
-You would have to tell him about physical therapy and how most commonly it uses heat, massage and exercise to stimulate your nerves and muscles, making it a great treatment for people with leg paralysis
-Once you two enter a more intimate and personal relationship, it’s more than likely he’ll help you perform those things himself (instead of kidnapping a human doctor from somewhere)
-Lucifer knows you have no problem getting around with your wheelchair by yourself but there are times where he’ll insist to push you along in order to give you a quick break
-I can totally imagine you two strolling around DevilDom and having cosy chats about RAD and your adjustments to DevilDom
-He has a softer side to him that he’s afraid to show most of the time, but he feels so at ease when you’re around, it’s hard for him to hold that part of him hidden from you
-Of course, your safety still remains his primary concern and he acts more like your guardian than Mammon does, even if he was originally supposed to look out for you
-He will accompany you almost anywhere. And if he can’t, he’ll have one or more of his brothers do it. And even then he’s probably lurking nearby, just in case
-He would always be willing to listen about your condition, if you wished to tell him whether you were born with the defect or why you ended up crippled later in life. Either way, he’s all ears
-If you would rather not speak about it, he wouldn’t pry and respect your decision because he knows it’s not his place to pressure you
-Because of your paralysis, it’s quite obvious to demons that you are even weaker (physically speaking) than most humans and that usually puts a target on your back
-Howver, never fear, because Lucifer is pretty quick to put lower rank demons in their place with just a mere stare
-Oop one of them passed out from the fear, haha
-In conclusion, he’s the most responsible when it comes your comfort and safety during your stay
-He makes sure you are always left in good hands and and provides most of the requirements you need
-Y’all should see how his wings puff up when he senses a threat approaching you, he looks like a peacock ready to go on attack lol
Mammon:
-The second born is unsurprisingly a bit of a jerk at first
-He stays really grumpy the whole day of your arrival because he’s stuck babysitting you stupid human
-“Lucifer c’mon, what’s all this workload for? The human can’t even walk by themselves, why do I have to help them out?”
-Wtf Mammon you can’t say shit like that
-Anyways, the following very few days, the only thing he’s thinking about is how much money he could sell your wheelchair for
-He’s the literal incarnation of greed, what else did you expect from him?
-After a while, he starts feeling a bit guilty every time he thinks about it though
-Mammon is gonna take this secret to the grave (laughs in immortal) but he actually really likes pushing you around
-Maybe it’s because it’s a clear indication to everyone around him that you are HIS human, under HIS protection and therefore you trust HIM the most since he was your FIRST MAN
-He will insist on helping you get out of that thing when you need to go to bed and stuff every night and he will get pouty real fast if you let any of his other brothers do it
-You wake up to him trying to roll around in your wheelchair one night at like 3am
-At some point, he stole a wheelchair from the human realm to match with his human. You can guess the consequences of his actions
-I can imagine you having to face a staircase or something at school and Mammon being like:
-“Fuck it, imma carry this fragile human instead; wheelchair and all!”
-Like you were a sack of potatoes or something smh
-Cue his brothers watching him from a distance as he heaves you and basically weight-lifts you up the stairs
-Ok but every now and again, he gets so sad thinking about you not being able to walk, like he starts crying kinda sad
-While you stand there like 😐 “Why are you crying?”
-He’s so quick to help if he senses you’re in danger too
-It’s canon that Mammon is crazy fast if he wants to be so if he has even the slightest impression that your life is threatened, his feet are already moving
-He will charge at your immediate threat at around 120 miles per hour-do not try him when he’s mad
-“The Great Mammon saved the day! C’mon MC, let’s go buy some ice cream. My treat! Ya better be grateful!”
-He says while the demon that tried to eat you lies on the floor with about a dozen broken bones
-Mammon is the second most powerful demon out of all of his brothers, even if he doesn’t resort to violence often
Levi:
-He didn’t really know how to react when you first teleported to DevilDom
-I mean, from the very beginning he considered you to be a human normie but at the same time, he felt bad you were stuck with his brothers for the rest of the year
-I think he would understand you would have an even harder time integrating yourself in their house because of your disability and he knows his siblings are really fucking annoying, always pushing you around and whatnot
-So, he kinda lets you hide in his room quite often
-You guys chill out in there all the time, much to the dismay of the other brothers who also want to spend time with you
-At some point, Levi definitely begged asked Lucifer to let you start online classes with him
-“But wouldn’t it be easier for MC to do online school from home rather than go to R.A.D since there aren’t any ramps or anything around there???”
-“The answer is no Leviathan.”
-“Ugh fine! What a fucking boomer-“
-For some reason, he gets so flustered whenever you ask him to push you around
-He blushes right to the tips of his ears and then he starts sputtering some nonsense that you can’t make out at all
-But he’s more than happy to do it, especially if you guys are going to a convention or if he’s dragging you out to buy new merch
-You two would get along in the sense that Levi realises the struggles you faced all your life were tough to overcome and he believes you are just like him
-Usually left out by other people, ignored even
-He knows you always listen to him ramble on about whatever he is currently obsessed with and how much you check up on him to make sure he never isolated himself
-He wants to do that for you too! Talk to him about your hobbies, please I’m begging you-he feels so bad whenever he’s doing all the talking
-If you ask him to help you with anything (getting something, helping you into bed—that sort of thing), he legally and physically can’t say ‘no’
-And he would get envious enough to stop talking to you for a day or two if you let his brothers do it instead (the second and third born are indeed similar lmao)
-S T A Y I N H I S R O O M, W H E R E Y O U C A N B E P R O T E C T E D !
-He will feel so much more at ease if you’re in his room because to him, that’s his haven
-If you’re in there with him, that means you’re not getting involved in his siblings’ endless and dangerous shenanigans
-Whenever you’re at school, he can’t help but worry about your well-being
-Because you’re human! You’re gonna get killed!! Do you know how much your organs sell on the black market in DevilDom??? 100x more than in the human realm, that’s for sure
-Would they have a black market or would it be a regular market lol
-For some reason, he also likes staying in your wheelchair when you’re not using it
-I think he just takes comfort in knowing it’s something that belongs to you and smells like you and-
-OK Levi, sit back down
-He wouldn’t treat you any differently if you had a disability tbh, but he’d be more concerned because you can’t even run away or anything
-So he’s so fuckin’ relieved when you guys are just vibing in his room
-He could die happy knowing he kept his best friend/ partner safe
Satan:
-Satan would be even more prepared for your arrival than Lucifer would, in a sense
-Out of all of his brothers, he’s most likely to understand and recognise paraplegia (either from studying human illnesses/birth defects/disabilities or from encountering humans with said disability)
-He’s a smart boy, alright?
-Always seems to be the first to notice if you need help or if someone’s bothering you
-Though in the very beginning, he was pretty tempted to just let you get killed to see how angry Lucifer could get
-Seeing dear Luci’s misery brings him great joy 🥰🥰🥰
-Once you two manage to build a very honest and strong relationship, he feels more and more inclined to keep you out of harm’s way
-Pls, he would feel so honoured if you let him push you around (it’s like you asked him to h*ld h*nds or something)
-If you require treatment of any kind, he would be so happy to help
-But in a subtle way...?
-Satan makes it seem so smooth too like he doesn’t mind lending a helping hand when in reality he’s all giddy inside
-*Kinda wants to rub it in his brothers’ faces but at the same no, because he’s definitely the bigger person here
-He wants to know how your wheelchair works
-It’s got all of these neat mechanisms and he wants to learn how they’re constructed because he never had the chance to inspect one before
-He’s such a sweetheart about asking you as well and never pries about your disability unless you start elaborating yourself
-Most of the time, he acts all charming and very gentleman-like
-So people have a hard time spotting and acknowledging the building rage inside of him every time he sees you are threatened by some moronic low rank demon
-Satan’s usually chill when it comes to injuries, unless he can see you’re in horrible pain
-There’s nothing a few spells can’t accomplish
-But when others purposefully try harming you?
-It’s like he loses all the self control he’s been trying to perfect over the centuries and he can’t help himself from at least breaking someone’s rib cage
-Satan’s a weird one because he’s protective of you even though he’s more on the relaxed side when compared to his siblings
-He very much acknowledges that you made it this far in life with your predicament so he doesn’t feel the need to baby you or anything
-You’re strong and he knows this
-It’s one of the many things he clearly loves about you
-That one time you rolled over Mammon’s foot with your wheelchair on purpose, he was wheezing
Asmo:
-Even now, he can’t help but wonder what it would be like to be stuck inside a wheelchair for the rest of his eternal life
-I mean, he’d obviously still be absolutely fabulous, have you seen him? He’s gonna be gorgeous either way
-But after the two of you meet, he definitely starts thinking about how he takes his feet for granted all the time
-It would be so difficult to complete his daily tasks without the ability to walk or run around
-That’s why he gets sad every time he remembers that’s your reality and on days like that, you’ve noticed he gives you a helluva lot more attention than usual
-He knows you don’t need pity or anything so he’s just making sure his human has all the support they can get
-Paraplegia or not, shopping trips are still a go-go
-He loves buying you clothes! And he loves helping you try them on! Asmo takes it very seriously
-Might have a go at the employees if they’re being rude to you
-You don’t even ask him to, but he subconsciously starts pushing you around himself whenever the two of you are out together
-“MC! Look at that new shop that’s just opened! Isn’t it adorable? We have to check it out!”
-He can’t help it! There’s so many places he wants to visit, he sort of just drags you with him wherever he goes
-Even at home, he always pops out of nowhere to coax you into coming to his room
-Y’all have so many skin routines to do each day
-Like he’s in your room most nights to greet you goodnight and tuck you in, with the rest of his brothers it gets so awkward at times
-Asmo just wants to see you smile, ok? He thinks you have a beautiful smile and laugh and he wants to remind you that you’re marvellous, disability or not
-And if anyone does anything to put an end to your self confidence, he will swiftly put an end to their life
-Please, he’s a pro at ruining lives, he’s been doing it for centuries
-Asmo has such a huge influence over the people in DevilDom, he just needs to make this one post on Devilgram to end said demon’s whole career
-I mean, who is he compared to him, Hmm? So don’t worry MC, scum like that don’t even deserve to breathe the same air as you :)
-That one time Mammon tried lifting you up the stairs and Asmo started shrieking, like put them down! Don’t manhandle them like that, poor human :(
Beel:
-I know I sound repetitive, but he would be an overall sweetheart to you no matter the circumstances
-If Mammon is not by your side, then Beel definitely is
-His big, scary aura and figure usually scares off any threat in a 10 mile radius
-Most demons don’t fancy being eaten by the Avatar of Gluttony, ya know?
-Idk why but I feel like he’d be the type to ask for oral consent every time he wanted to push you around
-He doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable :(
-Surprisingly also the type to lift you and your wheelchair whenever an obstacle gets in your way
-You basically weigh the same amount as a paper plate compared to him, so he has no problem doing so
-He doesn’t really understand your condition as well as Satan may do, but he’s trying his best
-You mean so much to him and he feels it’s only fair he learns more about your disability as a thank you for what you’ve done for him
-He has a rough time keeping up with you when it comes to stuff like physical therapy because he’s very unfamiliar with it but that doesn’t mean he’s not gonna help
-Of course, Beel believes that this is the second best way to show you how much he cares for you besides the obvious ‘I love you’
-Giving you a hand whenever you need his support the most
-That’s his way of saying “I’m not going to let you down. I want you to trust me, the same way I trust you.”
-And knowing him, he will try to do everything in his power to keep you safe and sound
-After a while, you’re bound to notice he’s the first one to pull you out of his brothers’ pranks before you have a chance to get hurt
-Beel is always the one handing you stuff from high places you can’t reach, without teasing you for it like Mammon might do
-Always the first one to remind you to get plenty of rest and to eat enough
-He wants to protect you and his brothers because he knows he failed to do so with Lilith so yeah, he’s a bit overprotective at times
-He doesn’t mean to be overbearing, but he gets so anxious knowing you’re by yourself
-After a few months of getting accommodated with him, your disability is no longer brought up in the conversation
-Because he doesn’t care that you are crippled and forced to use a wheelchair
-You are part of his family and he loves you no matter what
Belphie:
-He didn’t really care, even when you first met and his hatred for humans was at its very peak
-It didn’t matter that you had a disability
-All that mattered to him at the time was killing you to satisfy that deeply rooted need of vengeance inside of him
-Though he was sort of surprised his brothers didn’t get to you first
-In general, he’s pretty chill about you being crippled in both legs
-It takes too much effort to worry about your well-being 24/7 after all
-Surprisingly, he does keep an eye out for you if his siblings aren’t nearby
-It’s his redemption arc people, he’s trying to be nicer
-But he has such an irritating way of showing his affection for you
-Do not let him push you around
-He’s either going to a) fall asleep after 30 seconds and slump over you in the middle of RAD’s halls
-Or b) be annoying and fling your wheelchair in every direction possible just to piss you off
-He likes messing with you because you give him the best reactions and he thrives on that
-You’ve almost fallen off your wheelchair multiple times because of this asshole
-Not that he’d actually let you fall, he just wants to see how easily he can get you to yell at him
-Speaking of said wheelchair, like Mammon and Levi, he also loves using it when you’re not
-You’ve woken up to him curled up and asleep in that thing quiet often and he’s gotten in trouble over it every time with Lucifer
-But he doesn’t care
-And at this point, I don’t think even he knows whether he’s doing it to get a reaction out of you or because he somehow found a way to make himself comfortable there
-He would low key use you as a mode of transportation every time you go to RAD
-Just clings the damn wheelchair and almost topples both of you over
-“Belphie, there’s nothing stopping you from walking 😐”
-“Shh, just bring me to class and let me nap until then.”
-He doesn’t mention your legs but he still lays his head on your lap often
-Might make you hold him like a bride every time you stroll around the house
-It’s done out of love, I promise 😌😌

Something I’ve been wondering. This might be a weird question, but one I’ve been wondering for awhile. The question is, what kinds of jobs are focused on increasing accessibility in society?
My first university was really focused on disabled students. Which was great. They were THE school in the area you went to if you had a physical disability because of how well they dealt with it. And not just in ways like having a handicapped bus to take wheelchair bound students to and from classes in the winter. Im small things too. Things like every building was design with accessibly traversing the building as the first step. Elevators being front and center ways to access other floors, and stairs as the back up or in the back of the building mostly for fire safety only. And teachers being specifically trained on how to help the stufents they had in their classes, not just a general “this is how to help disabled students” lecture.
Then I transferred and moved to my second university. And I saw all the ways they FAILED to make things accessible. Classes where the reading materials were all images with no text descriptions. Everywhere was stairs or escalators with a single elevator or ramp somewhere in a back hallway because they tacked it on later to meet building codes.
Then, I had an internship with a small startup company and every step of the way, I was the person in the room saying “We should add in a subtitle option”, “we need to make the volumn adjustable”, “We should make sure the color scheme is customizable”. Because no one was even thinking about any of those types things.
I had a class about Ethics of Computer Science where we spoke a lot about like, “Just because we CAN make something, doesn’t mean we always SHOULD”, and “where do we need to take a stand against things like online radicalization of minors” and looked at a lot of things from hidden Facebook groups of police, to Amazon patents that were downright torturous sounding if they ever made them. But I was the only person in the class who spoke about how we need to remember we have an obligation to accessibility. I did a presentation on how extremely inaccessible and badly made our online blackboard website was, and during it, I showed that while the most relevant information on the page for a sighted person was at the top of the page on the right which takes maybe a few seconds to find the first time, it took over 30 movements on a screen reader to get that same information. And even once it did, the class names were unintelligible messes due to terrible shortening of words. (1325_WRLD_HSTRY_AND_CULTR reads easily for a sighted person, but “One thousand three hundred and twenty five, underscore, double U Are El Dee, underscore, Eghch Ess Tee Are Why, Underscore, and, Underscore, See You El Tee Are” isn’t that helpful at all to know what the hell you’re havung read to you). Along with so many more issues for pretty much every disability I could think to check for, and even parts for neurotypical people too.
So, my question is basically, what kind of job could I look into that was specifically about finding those inaccessibility issues, and bringing them to the attention of those that can fix them? Or something similar to that type of thing. I don’t really want to have to settle on one specific field like “Web programmer with extra credentials about online accessibility” or becoming like a disability coordinator for a school since the former is just being a programmer but maybe the person on the team you ask about if something is good or not in the design stage. And the latter doesn’t actually do much to FIX any of the issues with accessibility. They are all about how to utilise what already exists to the best of their ability and get by without potentially proper support.

me/beliefs
I’m a 14 year old centrist/right wing, and these are what I’m for and against. (No offense to anyone else/my values do not hurt anyone)
ANTI MAP/NOMAP/PROMAP If you have the desire to touch kids, your time would be better spent touching the cold inside of a jail cell. All pedophelic relationships are abusive even if the person claims to be a “nomap.”
Anti tucute and transtrenders Mental illness is never something to ignore so you can have an “aesthetic.” You invalidate trans people who have struggled, and you are inherently sexist by further instilling that male and female is just a “culture” rather than the safety you feel in your body.
I am transmed Meaning I believe gender dysphoria is something in the brain, which can lead to a longterm feeling of discomfort in your body. I completely support those who want to help themselves and will back any trans person looking for surgery. The choice is theirs to make. Even though transmed technically implies surgery is needed, I will respect the persons pronouns even before they get surgery as long as they are considering it. Because I know three issues off the top of my head: it could be unsafe at their age, it could be unsafe due to familial reasons (transphobic parents), or they could want to consider it for years to make sure they don’t back track. There are also more reasons so of course no matter how long it takes, I will chose to use the pronouns they want.
I only believe in two genders. However, I accept those who do not wish to disclose their gender. I mean, it’s your private parts. Of course I won’t force you to talk about them and I hope you live the happiest life. I also totally understand those who wish to go by they/them, just ask me so I know to not misgender you.
I’m not a trump supporter
If I don’t know too much about a subject, I won’t talk about it but I am curious to learn someday. (This is why I won’t say I am or am not a Hillary fan. I actually never got to learn much about her therefore idk)
I do not like illegal immigration but DEPORTATION IS FUCKING ATROCIOUS. Here is the simplist way to explain why I don’t like illegal immigration: Imagine you work hard, and someone else slacks off and recieves a promotion. That's infuriating. But I now stretch this to a larger point, you work hard to make money to leave your country and go through the entire legal system tediously. Then another guy sneaks into the same new country doing zero of that work. Do I think the illegal immigrant should be punished though? Heavens no. Absolutely not. They could have been escaping poverty or war, drought or famine, a harsh family life, anything. And they could be an amazing person. I just think the legal way to immigrate should be made more open and friendly for people in rougher countries. I have nothing against the illegal immigrants themselves.
Anti terf An mtf who has gender dysphoria, a serious condition, is curing herself. Not robbing your three year old daughter’s tea set. Chill tf out, Sharon. And an ftm who has gender dysphoria, a serious condition, is curing himself, not writing “women have cooties” on your feminist pride parade sign and then ninja'ing into a male, Terri
“Radical” is the scariest word to hear before anything involving politics. I’m sick of “radical ___.” I believe compromising is much safer and a healthier viewpoint to live by than extremism of either side. This mindset shoukd stem from childhood with things like "sharing is caring."
Guns and clothing depicting real guns should not be allowed in schools, period. The gun part is a “no shit” moment, but if I could change the school dress code, I would add this rule and get rid of the truly bs “no crocs” rule.
I’m pro choice
I want to better the foster care/adoption system
Anti-anti vaxxers That kid’s life has been given to you and it asks for protection, not to model your ill-thought-out agenda.
Anti incels
Companies should be regulated to reduce pollution, and they should contribute to a greener earth.
If a company distributes paper or glass to an area, that same company must be willing to pay the price to make it recyclable at their plant. Otherwise, it cannot be in that area. This practice will be repeated until eco friendly companies begin popping up all around us.
In a perfect world, an opinion’s value is based on how well informed the person is of that opinion. Not on race, class, religion, gender, or orientation.
Bi/pan are the same, and if you prefer the term “pan” because of the spelling or flag, then alright. But like again, meaning wise, they are the same and the only difference is superficial.
I’m all for body positivity that supports people who have lost limbs, burn scars, or are recovering from an unhealthy lifestyle like anorexia, bulimia, or obesity. Body positive does not equal “oh you look beautiful killing yourself” so I personally would never congratulate someone for cutting themself, or severely under or over eating. I will offer help until they tell me they want to end it like this, in which case I wont force you to do something you don’t want me to.
Abusers should serve for half or more of their life! All if it lead to fucking suicide. Domestic, child, animal, relationship. Abuse is disgusting from mental to physical. Go ahead and block me if you believe abuse is not an issue.
Rape is one of the worst crimes in humanity. It can happen to anyone.
The three crimes I hate the most are MURDER, RAPE, and FALSE RAPE ACCUSATION. the first two are obvious, but the third one is up there for a good reason. False accusation means "fake." You are lying to fuck up somebody's life on purpose. A rape claim can damage somebody throughout their entire life and that's not even the end of the problem with it. You invalidate true rape claims. You think rape is such a sweet little subject that's so "fun" to toy with. And you know what? Fuck you with all of these murderers and rapists and abusers.
Though I am not anti-gun, more control is needed. For example, training, liscenses, harsher punishments to those who obtain a gun by illegal means, and a gun should not be carried outside of your household unless you have a specific reason for that too. Like a farmer, police dude, or hunter
Do not slut shame prostitutes.
Making prostitution illegal only makes it harder for these people to seek help and get other jobs. It does not end prostitution.
Marijuana is not a criminal offence, quit locking people up for it.
Tax is not that hard to write on the damn price tag. Please mark it as $5.12 if it really isn’t $4.99
Gender dysphoria is a valid health issue so trans people should still (and always) be supported in the military.
There should be more sidewalks. And bridges that go over roads with ramps for people in wheelchairs or strollers, this is to reduce car emissions from the car needing to stop, and even better, it reduces the chance of a young child being hit at a crosswalk. Getting around by foot will be so much easier.
These are the most important things to teach in school
-how to prevent stds
-mental health
-why vaccines are safe
-how to get a job
-how to take care of your home and life after you're 18
-the core subjects
-civil rights movement in full detail so the newer generations are impacted by the struggle and where we are now in america
-secondary language
-world cultures
(This is just what i can think of off the top of my head)
You dont have to block me if you disagree. Infact, im open to anyone who wants to be friends. I dont care if we're different politically because thats not the first thing i see abour people. If you want to debate with me then lets do it. Also if you have questions, hmu. :)

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=726366980886527&id=128872377302660 My sponser Routes Hair Extension has spoken out because this deal Busienss owner who really does put her customers and client firsts. She sees ournpassions and really invests in my work. To Routes Hair Extension it is not about sales , she really fights for my rights and decided to after seeing first hand of what I really go through to ensure others with disabilities don't go through the pain that I put myself through inorder to be heard and show my skills,talent and experiences and education means something to me which I have always said "knowledge is power and I will leave a legacy of my stories on how my journey got others to do the same". I chose carefully who I work with and u couldn't very easily worked woth e vert company who offered to give me lots of free products and advertising but to me my image and my ethos means something . When I chose my Sponser and the designer rand clothes I did for a reason. My sponser is another role model, a strong female who has endured and gone through hurdles to get to where she is now a sucessfull business because she worked for it by herself and applied herself. For years I suffer with alopecia and lots my confidence because of others words 'she looks beautiful to she doesn't look beautiful because I lost my hair. Routes Hair Extensions gave me confidence back but I also learnt about my beauty is about appearances. It is about I feel and how i am going to channel that. So i learnt difference ways to look after myself and show it doesn't matter if I lost my hair n.a. d had bold patches I embrace myself gracefully, be presentable always , use my personality to internet and work on my goals THA to still had to achieve. I reminded myself at church God gave me another task to take on and was testing me on how I was going to be a better a person. Do I crumble and either away and lose myself ?and stop caring about myself? Do I give up on all my skills and knowledge that I have to get close to where I need to be? No! I go through the emotions as I do because I am human still and need to filter through the stages of emotions inorder to take the next stage of action... I then do what I always do look at myself in my mirror talk to myself, because I need guidance and for role model is the person in the mirror who I am.always xhasing after to be. The person in the mirror i tell myself , " for some who has done Pyschology, you really are don't see what are your doing, it is right in front of you" Once my emotions are out of the way, I say to myself from the mirror " only you can make the changes on what to do next, yes it's another obstacles, but you seem to be attracted to obstacles and what have you always done? I the say " I role the obstacle and never went through that every again bexause I changed and do something about it" The me in mirror says, "Well now you have a new obstacle to motivate you to not tell others go through it butnyou must go through it for that change to take effect. Your strong you always have been never forget your strengths" I then compose myself and get on with it! It is some as that it is the doing bit that takes time and who would've thought a 9 years girl has waited for her crown . I believe in myself and always keep my beliefs to myself until they come true . I am always thinking and finding ways to to do. If one wayndoesnt work I find another and another it may take months and years but I always knew I could make my goals come true and not by money or others but by myself by working. Winning a beauty pagent and being crowned Mrs British Empire for DisAbility Inclusion, if I can do it so can you. I just don't want you to go through the nightmare that I went through to get here that is why I am using these platforms to share my experiences and work with companies to educate them on how to make the changes they need and not be scared to not include people woth disabilities . We are all learning and lack of knowledge means we need to help another by giving them the knowledge you have. We often think everyone should still have basic common sense but it really is that if you don't spend time with aperosn in a wheelchair or have experience you just don't know but even the intelligent human being who is so sucessfuly and wealthy will have no knowledge of a person with disabilities in a wheelchair who also is educated and sucessful. Do I keep getting angry and fight woth them and keep crying and do I retreat back to my bedroom and never leave my accessible home where no one sees my qualities and strengths ? No! I wait to achieve my goals and go through the battle to get it and when i say battle it really is a battle a totrure wher i am degreded, dehumanizes, humilatated because i am not seen or treated as a human being , access is a night mare as soon as i leave my hime, people ignore me, i get pushed without being asked, i get hit, laughed, rejected, questioned about my " i shoyldnt be a mother becaue im in a wheelchair' 'i get people randomly come up to me and say ' I'd rather die than be like you" " that is a prison sentence you may aswell have died" " how can be a mother " " why are you happy and wear nice clothes when you r in that" " your embarrassment , your a baby for life in that pushchair " " I'll pray for you to be normal" " now that I met you I did my good deed for heaven" " why should you het special treatment with parking" " I can't walk like i used to and use sticks and struggle I should he that you got and live a life of luxury" " I'd loved to be pushed around" " "I understand what you go through I have a pushchair and suffer" " my pushchair is easy just likes yours" "I can relate I have pushchair and I struggle" can I just say a pushchair is NO comparasion to a wheelchair you choose to use a pushcahir for your child" "I should get on of these chairs and my arms will be strong and not flabby" " it must be a easy for you wheelchair so quick " " just wheel yourself on the ramp we had to make it for you you know" " we specially made the ramp for you it us all day" " we don't talk people like you" " how can you be a mum when your like that" These are just some of the comment so get on a daily basis and theme other it's is being ignored by not being able to get in shops, blocked dropped kerbs, wheelchair access toilets lack off and people using them woth no regards to people woth disabilities both disabled and disabled, absusing disabled bays. Then I communicate to the people on how I'm going to help them on how to make them better so they know what there doing to support disability inclsuion and how to talk to people with disabilities. I shouldn't have to do this as people should know but I have to as I am responsible to make sure it is done right as i have the knowledge, expeirences and skills to use. It is up to them to change or not but if they don't they are losing out not me because I see my world truly is limitless. All my possibilities are endless . For now I share another achievement I worked for so long to make a reality. A 9 year olds girls dream came true .... at 34 years of age a british born indian catholic mother becomes the first in a wheelchair wins UK pagent and breaks the barriers for DisAbility Inclusion with my daughter who is 11. I wanted to show my daughter that every achievements I made happen with my dau ghte represent she has seen what true beauty is and she has seen I have done it all in my wheelchair and when I was walking. She has seen and been part of the hardest challenges and we have survived and won. Everything I do is for my baby girl to know she is included everythibg my daughter has gine through for being different just like me I have shown and she believes she can be anything she wants and do anything and I proved to her it is possible because she will always have the power one can take it away from her now matter what you will go through and how many times you fall you will always have the power to your life. I have decided to speak out the truth and iver the weeks you read what I go through for the changes to take effect. It will upset companies and people but if I keep hiding everything in and not post my stories of discrimination society will never change. God put me on earth of for a reason and he has given me a purpose and I am now channelling every part of my life to do that. Eventually everything will be in my Book and I am happy my first book is completed by the end of year!!!!

i do feel kinda bad about using a wheelchair. for one its harder to navigate crowded spaces (elevator lines taking 30min-1 hour) and everyone with me has to suffer through that while normal people can take stairs/escalators no problem. 
lots of places have stairs/steps you cant avoid. so i have to either not go up or hope someone with me can lift my chair up onto raised areas (rarely possible) 
and its sometimes. a pain in the ass to find a door to go through. funny how no one wants to make the front door accessible they’ll make you go all the way around the building for a ramp 
and also. sometimes its just a pain to use the fucking bathroom. i dont care if people use the handicap stall if you’re going to use it as a regular stall but people love to sit in their and take a shit for 20 fucking minutes and then i cant use any other fucking stall to take a piss bc my fucking chair wont fit
and also its. big. i wasnt able to get one of those compact ones mines bulking n gets stuck on things and is in the way and everyone feels bad trying to squeeze past me and i feel bad fucking sitting there
if i didn’t have to i wouldn’t. use it. i try not to. but lots of walking means. i need it. i cant walk a lot i will just limp and collapse and be unable to move while in agony because my body cant hold it together. and i cant tell whats more of an inconvenience me falling apart and leaning on walls and slowing to a snails pace because im limping and going home early or. being in the way and big and everyone ignoring me wishing i wasn’t there or pretending i dont exist because they think looking at me and interacting with me will bother me
i wish i could just do things and i wonder why its not enough. why i cant just walk. i know its because of my body. that i was born easy to fall apart and broke my leg real fucking good but it just. sometimes it feels like ‘thats not excuse’ that ‘people have it worse’ and also people do better with the same set of circumstances too. maybe im not trying enough. maybe im not doing enough. maybe im not enough...
and lastly i just hate going to conventions where they raise the NSFW tables like. great you dont want kids to maybe look at porn or sex toys but maybe i wanted to look and i am seated.
