[Guy who has been disabled for their entire adult life]: Holy shit I forgot how awful it is to be disabled in the social model sense (there are zero public restrooms in Chicago and cops will arrest you or be called on you for vomiting in public) (that and epilepsy + its public response were why I developed clinically significant agoraphobia. Like my agoraphobia is inextricable from the medical-carceral complex and how disability is responded to in the public sphere)

Like I have gastroparesis and epilepsy in a city with no public bathrooms where the social norm in public spaces is to call the police on someone having a seizure. If I wake up feeling Bad I am terrified to leave my house. And I am a white person who usually gets granted "benefit of the doubt" in these situations. Still. I've been tackled and arrested while seizing, had cops follow me into the restroom, been handcuffed in the ER because I couldn't talk and was presumed "threatening." I literally have PTSD mostly from the criminalization of Being Disabled In Public + the curtailing of supportive infrastructure lol
