Gem, you make excellent points. There needs to be a continuing and expanded dialogue about this. Sadly, the media doesn't give this the attention it's due. Even health, rehab and behavioral professionals don't spend enough time on this, even with those close to wheelchair users. I hope that your video acts as a catalyst for continued discussions.
I had when people touch my chair!! It's so invasive. I wish they realized its a part of my body. death by a thousand cuts is a perfect way of describing it. I'm just tired of the comments. Its never gets easier even as the years go by. I just want to go out and exist without the negative attention.
I have videos about my disability and pain 😊 I’m good thank you, I’ve been travelling for work so found it hard to keep up with videos recently! I’m back now though so should be regular again. Thanks for watching 🥰

Thank you Herbert, that means a lot 😊
Love your insight, Gem. Great feedback ♥️
Ah thank you, and thanks for watching 🥰
in my mind touching someone's chair is like touching someone's clothes - that is too close too personal just invasive
"the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
Ooh I like that

If they keep doing it, maybe you could subtly share this video 😅
Are you in any pain? I am not in a wheelchair myself. I hope you are doing good. Havent seen you post in a while.
