- A man jumped a railing & grabbed me today, as i was heading in to licensing. He was a stranger. The person I was with was yelling "No!" at him but was 3m away & couldn't block him. I screamed "Let me go!" & "Get your fking hands off me!" several times at full theatre volume. 1/
- Replying to @DragancaorMy wheelchair has a low back & foldaway handles TO PREVENT THIS. This is not rare. Do not touch a stranger. No amount of "but i wanted to help" makes it okay if you don't ask consent. I didn't need help. I didn't look like i needed help. I was just existing. You need to STOP. 4/4
- Replying to @DragancaorA jolt went through me & my wheelchair from the force the stranger applied, & it caused my left hand to be dragged off my pushrim & into my wheel spokes, & injured. He had the audacity to get annoyed because we had yelled & told him off, & that he was shamed publicly. 2/
- Replying to @DragancaorThe woman he was with, who had now caught up to him, looked at me & silently mouthed an apology so that he wouldn't hear her. He never asked if i needed help. He grabbed me, a stranger, without warning & caused me injury. 3/
- Replying to @DragancaorAdding this photo note pointing to the top of my backrest, which ends at my waist. The handles fold away. Please stop arguing this man grabbed me "to help" - there is no reason to assume that. My chair isn't designed to be pushed & there was no danger other than his behaviour.
- Replying to @NewgreyagainHe grabbed, moved, & injured me. There was no legitimate reason for him to be near me, let alone touch me. He did not tell me why. It took me yelling & other people intervening before he let me go.
- Replying to @philrob12341. It doesn't matter "why" he did it. 2. I'm not telepathic, & he didn't tell me. 3. He grabbed, moved, & injured me. That's not helpful.
- Replying to @veganpragmatism1. It doesn't matter "why" he did it. 2. I'm not telepathic, & he didn't tell me. 3. A stranger grabbed, moved, & injured me, & he should not have touched me at all. That's the point of the post
- Thank you greatly for the sentiment, though I'll decline on the actual hugs. 🖤 It took far too long for that man to let me go, even with intervention, so i'm just going to enjoy my personal space for a bit!
- Replying to @xxtinkerbellA toxic AF community demanding everything for free, sending death threats, trolling & being generally vitriolic does not leave you enjoying your job or make it something that is easy to cope with on a mental health level. I don't blame them if that's the reason. They're human.
- For those wondering why i'm not engaging with that post/topic, understand that i'm still dealing with one of *those* men. It's in court, & the way i live in hiding & constant fear, & what happened on Friday added further to that ongoing trauma. I don't have the MH capacity 💔
- Replying to @antirrhivalentiThat's absolutely awful!! I hope you weren't too injured & your chair wasn't damaged!
- Replying to @LittlePunkLiesMy backrest ends at my waist & the handles fold away. This man grabbed ME. But holy crumbs absolutely yell if it's possible if you or your chair/aid is grabbed without consent. It's SO dangerous!
