Today I found out that despite being mostly conflict avoidant I can indeed turn into a raging keyboard warrior when I discover the disabled/accessible toilets at one of the largest luxury malls in my city are neither accessible or designed for the disabled

Just fired off a professionally scathing email to their management quoting my city's government building regulations

#going “As a doctor I am concerned about the inaccessibility of this bathroom and its danger to disabled persons” etc #the door was SO HEAVY I HAD TO PULL IT OPEN WITH MY FULL BODY WEIGHT #as an able-bodied 28 year old #my 56 year old able-bodied mother had difficulty opening that door #like I fully think it would be heavy enough to fracture an elderly person's arm #and the flush??? was ABOVE THE TOILET IN THE CORNER?? YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A PERSON IN A WHEELCHAIR LEAN OVER THEIR OWN SHIT TO FLUSH?#and to reach it they'd have to undo their wheelchair seatbelts??#I've seen too many fractures in wheelchair users that have been from sliding out of their wheelchairs #my goodness it's one of the most visited places in HK too like this is plain negligence #disability #personal #my post
