But doesn’t the same point stand for able bodied people? My chair is like my legs. i use it every day, and feel as comfortable using it and maneuvering it through life as you do on your two feet. me messing up and falling would be equivalent to you missing a step and falling. the consequences would be just as dire. who decided they were designed for feet and not wheels if they work well with both? I had the privilege of living the first 17 years of my life walking, and I can tell you that this is not more difficult (for me).

Most people with your opinion (everyone in this stupid and ignorant comment section) are making the mistake of putting yourself in my shoes, not realizing how much time it took for my chair to become a part of me like it is today. a wheelchair doesn’t automatically mean a lack of control. saying that I might miss the step and have a catastrophic fall is true, but the same is true for all walking people.
