Especially not immediately after youâve yelled at them for using the lift and you couldnât fit.
Especially when youâre a rich cis white able-bodied man, particularly when theyâre visibly none of those things.
Especially not to give some half-assed apology amidst a bunch of ablesplaining because you asked an out of context question to staff.
Donât fucking abuse disabled people for existing, and donât fucking chase us after the fact.
I tried to write a big post about this a while back, when it first happened, but, honestly? Nah, it can be this now.
But, for more context on what happened:
A friend of mine and I, both wheelchair users, both PoC, both trans, were at Southern Cross station, waiting for a lift, and this random other guy was waiting there too. Yâknow, the things tucked away behind the escalators that take forever and a day to get anywhere?
Anyways, friend needed to catch a VLine home; theyâre usually hourly, and are the regional and rural trains, so they take a while to get you anywhere. Itâs real fucking shit to miss one.
Lift makes it down, only fits the two of us, this guy tries to barge his way in, and we say no, so he blocked the lift for three minutes to yell at us about how we should have told him he wouldnât fit and how we wasted his time.
As if we can tell if someoneâs going to fit with us before the lift gets down??
We told him that if he needs to use the lift, please wait for the next one, and if he doesnât, itâd be quicker to just take the escalators and that lifts are there for disabled folx.
In the time it took for us to get to the concourse in the lift, this man had already walked to the escalators, gotten up them, and started walking toward the barriers out. We decided to speed toward the lift down to where the VLines leave from, and this fucker of a man chases us there, blocks the lift again to âapologiseâ, and tell us that he âasked the staff and the lifts are for everyoneâ.
tl;dr: as the top of the post says, donât fucking chase disabled strangers down, especially not when youâve just been yelling at them in an enclosed space where you could easily force your way in and beat the shit out of us before anyone could come and stop you.

Teachable moment of the day: this is the only appropriate time to call me wheelchair bound. In other news, I guess I need to hem my maxi skirts.... #whenfashionstrikesback #crippleproblems #iiskindiissmartiisimportant (at San Ramon, California)
Throwback to the days when I would dress fancy... & wear something other than casual T-shirts & shorts đđđ#crippleproblems #butnotcomplaining #comfortfirst #tbt
LET ME BE CLEAR,I"M NOT DOING THIS FORÂ SYMPATHY, JUST TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT I GO THROUGH:)Â
Hmmm......where to start?
Getting up hurts(as in extreme pain!
My muscles ache 99.9% of the time.
I need help with tasks most people would consider "simple". "Example" picking up something I dropped. Not only am I a cripple,I'm a clumsy one at that ;)
 My back is constantly hurting in some way from sitting, MY ASS TOO!Â
I can't go to many places and when I do go out I always have to make sure it's accessible ''HUGE BUMMER!"
Some people assume that I need  help with everything,Plot twist, I don't!
Getting into the shower is enough to make me want to slam my head in a car door!!! (NOT RELAXING!)
Having people be overly nice because i'm "disabled" JUST NO!
Forget your f****** cell phone,I have to charge my chair!
No matter how hard you try to explain things, sometimes people will never understand.  Now that that's outta the way,here's some struggles I and everyone faces;
AnxietyÂ
 confidence issues
 depressionÂ
lack of energy
fighting to stay positive
school
family drama
expressing my feelings
overthinking
sadness
So next time you see me and ask why i'm sad,depressed etc. it just might be one of the things mentioned above.
