Enough all ready
posted May 9th, 2019 at 4:08 PM
I am tired (and exhausted)of having to ignore evil glares, off-handed comments and abusive behavior on the bus and train when I sit in the assigned/designated seating for seniors and/or disabled. I may not look "disabled"enough for you, but my stage 4 breast cancer has qualified me for disability and that seat.
Let me die with dignity and ride transit in peace; I am tired of debating with random strangers why I get to sit.

I am so sorry to hear that in the most trying chapter of your life that so many ignorant people are that judgmental of your "invisible" disability.
Unfortunately one of the most disgusting traits of mankind is assumption. You're definitely entitled to sitting in priority seating on transit and whoever says otherwise should be tarred and feathered by my standards!
Anyone who is being abusive to you should be reported to the bus driver and filmed on your cell phone. You are tired from your illness and don't deserve any of this judgmental shit.
My biggest hugs and kisses to you my friend and I personally wish you the best in your life journey. Lots of love to you.
From someone who understands cancer and cares!

The handicapped seats are filled with young guys with earphones on. They conveniently can't hear you when you ask them to move. People can't see my elhers -danlos , but they sure can stare at me as I fall when the bus starts moving if I'm standing.

I find that mostly able-bodied women feel entitled to the priority seats and give them up begrudgingly.

There are some of us who look young but also have invisible disabilities. Whether you have something or not don't assume that others do not.

stare back and let tears flow so they can live in their discomfort.
