#posts that called me out
if you’re a fat person who feels like they can’t use mobility aids because you’ll be mocked and told you don’t need them and that you just need to lose weight and you won’t need it: i love you so much, and i’m so sorry people have told you these things. you can use a mobility aid no matter what weight you are, because a mobility aid doesn’t make you dependent on it or take away autonomy.
it gives you the ability to move better. it helps you move around. there is nothing bad about something that aids you, especially if it enables you to do something you can’t do otherwise. use the motorized cart in the grocery store. use canes. use a rollator or a walker. use whatever you need. your weight has nothing to do with it, and you deserve to be in less pain regardless of what size you are.
