All modern buildings should have all accessible and gender neutral stalls and restrooms. It’s ridiculous that it’s still not a requirement in architecture for public spaces.
15:06 only issue w this to me is that w the bathrooms specifically u never know whether or not someone has an invisible disability (or maybe is a leg amputee thats prosthetic is being covered doesnt always have to be invisible) they also may need the accessible stall in a bathroom so dont get ANGRY at them (ik thats not what they said but ive seen able bodied ppl get upset at ppl using an accessible bathroom but dont know if that person has an invisible disability) unless its clear they are misusing it. BUT YA WHAT THEY SAID IS RIGHT DONT dilly dally or hangout in accessible stalls bc you could be unintentionally causing trouble for disabled ppl (invisible or visible disabilities)
I was talking to myself and basically implied that I wasn’t a ‘real’ disabled person because it isn’t something you can see but it’s still physical. I’m actually crying laughing rn
15:09 I’m honestly so scared of seeming like That person 😭😭 in terms of public transportation… like it’s invisible but most of the time I need to sit down (unsure the actual reason why yet, mystery pains ftw….. yay……) and it’s never actually happened but I’m so scared of being on like a crowded train/bus and visibly disabled person assuming I’m being an asshole NEHH
11:16 I have crps and it’s still really hard for me to believe that there are people who don’t have baseline pain, I can’t really imagine living without at least something being painful I like these compilations a lot though bc even if I don’t know if crps counts as a disability for me it makes me feel understood seeing people who have some similar experiences :)
the person who was the tictok at the 14:30 mark talking about accessable toliets i think the best way to explain the pain that we go though (to do with waiting for accessable toilets) is if you are wheelchair user that toliet is quite litterally the ONLY toilet stall that you can fit in and use comfortably and it stucks to have to wait for ages or go find another toilet which takes SOOOO much energy and sometime its just so unfair. so if you are able bodyed (in my disablied opinon) the only time to use a accessable toilet is if you really need to go to the toilet or its an ermergancy and all your other options are avaliable. although this would only happen in an ideal world and anyone can use that toilet. just dont sit at that stall for long amounts of time if you dont need to and also dont film tictoks in the disabled toilets i seen way to many tiktoks filmed in the accessable toilets and they piss me off so fucking much (sorry about the bad spelling)
Hey, can you take care of yourself? Just do one small thing that will make yourself happy. And if you feel like you can do more, please stretch, drink some water, and eat something. You dont have to do more than one thing and if not thats totally fine too.
13:57 I’m autistic and have a really hard time sensory-wise using public bathrooms. But while the larger accessible stalls make my bathroom experience much easier and much quicker, I would never take the accessible stall from a physically disabled person. At the end of the day I can just hold it in until they’re done or until I get to a bathroom with better conditions for me. Neurodivergency is NOT an excuse for being physically ableist. If you really can’t hold it in, and you don’t see a disabled person in the bathroom with you, and you decide to use the accessible stall, be QUICK. Push everything out as quick as possible and for the love of god do not get on your fucking phone 😭 this should be considered basic etiquette.
not letting other people's perception of my illness and disability stop me. I'm an actor, a theater technician, and i will be a teacher. I will teach children kindness to those who are different, show that no matter what, if you try your best to your ability, they can do anything, and I as their teacher will always be proud of them.
Disability Tiktok compilation bc you should take care of yourself!!
