Still annoyed at the bloke on the bus earlier who pushed and pulled a blind guy to his seat without saying a word to him so he couldn’t use his stick, and snapped “well you aren’t helping him” when I said if he needed help he’d ask.

Urgh, this is my lived experience constantly. Even during the pandemic people grab me all the time rather than asking me if I need support. I've been campaigning about it for 4 years

It was horrible, he was totally fine, just asked me the bus number, and repeatedly told the guy manhandling him he was fine. Just grim and infantilising.

As a woman it often escalates really quickly as well. Like any asserting of my boundaries can end up with very aggressive, violent or sexually harassing behaviour. People completely ignore my consent, my go to response now is to just sort of flap & scream as they let go quicker

Completely see how that can happen under the guise of “I was just trying to help!” with people who didn’t bother with asking if you even needed help. So horrendous, I’m sorry.

I hate to say it, but it's been one of the positives for me of the pandemic. I haven't been touched by strangers as often & it's been a relief. I'm going out more now so it's happening, but at the height of lockdown it was a lovely experience to only be touched by my partner.

Not the same, but lockdown meaning I only usually had seizures at home meant the relief of not coming to in hospital after strangers called ambulances unnecessarily, but meaning well.

It's very similar, it's that feeling of safety & being supported in the way you want.
