@lousadvocacy: yes needing to wait in line for a free stall is inconvenient and annoying. for many disabled people, having to wait for 10+ minutes to access the only stall we can use, is an every day occurrence. I experience people vaping, putting on make up and even hanging out with friends in the accessible stalls. But for us it’s more than just inconvenience. Many medical devices require quick intervention. For example if catheters and stoma bags aren’t emptied when they’re full they can burst, or cause infections. For many disabled people it’s also dangerous to hold their bladder. Needing immideate access to a bathroom is not entitlement, it’s a medical need. I don’t have to choice to just go to the normal stall if the accessible one is blocked. I can’t stop you from using the accessible bathroom, but if you do, please be quick and only use it for it’s intended purpose and not a private space for smoking or getting ready. #disability #ableism #bathroom #wheelchair
i wish they would just have more tbh, sometimes they are the only place i can go when i have a panic attack or pots flare but i dont want to take up a space for too long🥲

Hoshiko :
Ive gotten to many dirty looks for using the disabled stall, especially elders, because of my age. Little did they know I have like 4 tubes in my body. Where I am disabled stalls are the only ones with hooks and handles to help me get up (I refuse to put my medical equipement on the floor, even if its in a bag)
But Ive seen soooo many groups of girls use the disabled stall together, people making tiktoks etc 🤦♀️
