Delighted our disability amendment to ensure the access to nature motion went a step further in providing access to all passed with no votes against!
Disabled people need to be remembered in all layers of policy - because it impacts so much

Interesting that every time we discuss women's rights at Lib Dem Conference the group that claims to care so deeply about "the rights of women and girls" is completely and utterly absent.

Autistic people are more likely to be trans, for a variety of reasons, - and denying their ability to determine their own self takes our autonomy away. Autistic people are intelligent and self aware. Do not speak for us when you do not know what it is like to be us.

Decided to add my title into my social media accounts in both an act of feminism and also because I finally got around to updating my new job title too! Start the job in a few weeks and looking forward to it :)

If you think living on benefits provides you an easy and carefree life then you clearly have never had to worry about being jobless or considered what it would be like to be disabled.

If you choose to sit on the front part of a bus, have a bag next to, and not move it when the bus gets full, you are a bad person.
Even disabled people who need the front seats, move your bag, other disabled people exist!

Spent nine years putting money in a pot (randomly - had no clue what the total would be), and will now use it to go and see the place Neanderthals were discovered to celebrate finishing my PhD 🥰

Can someone tell me why the government is so eager to get people who can’t work in to work, when I am desperately searching for a job and being rejected even for roles I’m overqualified for and could do with my eyes closed?

Got an early Christmas present: over two years since I’ve had to significantly change my lifestyle after developing significant pain in my hip (caused by a spinal injury made as a child apparently), I’ve been referred to a surgeon 🥰

I will never forget the rapist who said “I’m not a monster, I’m just like any other man” - because violence from men could be done by any man. We need to teach boys and men how to see others as human instead of telling girls and women to stay home and wear long skirts.

Did you know a lot of disabled people give each other the advice of not drinking or eating a day before travelling, especially via a plane, because a lot of transport isn’t accessible enough to let people go to the loo?
The normalisation of inaccessibility needs to stop.

Spending £110 on private medical stuff today bc the NHS is so underfunded :(
