A few days ago, Accessorize refused to pierce @lucywebster.bsky.social’s ear unless she provided a GP note. Why? Because she’s disabled.
And now she’s in the Sunday Times calling it out because it turns out, disabled women are not 5 years old - they are leaders. www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

I wanted a piercing at Accessorize. What I got was pure ableism
Employees ignored me, spoke only to my friend then demanded a doctor’s note because they had ‘doubts’ I could look after myself

Contrary to media hysteria, it is not cheating to seek help to navigate what’s an incredibly complex and often inaccurate benefit assessment. You’re not gaming the system - you’re surviving it.
