Accused of faking
I am so unbelievably upset. I went to a concert a few days back, and i got access seating as it was an all standing show. My chair was to the side of the stage infront of the barricade. Sitting down i already was being HEAVILY judged (i don’t use any walking aids at all) and the looks that i got from not only the staff but other people in the accessibility area was gross. I get it that i do not look disabled but standing for a 2 hour is just not possible at all! And whats even worse is that i got stares from other people in the accessibility section? Surely they would understand more than most that disabilities can sometimes be invisible? 🤦♀️🤦♀️ And to add MORE, some people got to meet the artist after. Accessibility got to meet her first as we were obviously infront of the barricade. On the leaving the venue, i went onto my groupchat that someone had created for people who were going to that show. And so many people were upset that we got to go first and were saying some crazy ableist things. I know that people not understanding invisible disabilities exist, but man is it really disappointing when people do.
Anyway just needed to rant honestly. haha
