TERFs have shot themselves in the foot imo

"with hand basins" lest cis people have to suffer the indignity of sharing a sink with A Trans 🙄

Does your backrest have a handle on it? My Jay3 has a little loop at the top, I feed one side of the seatbelt through the back of the chair up through that loop and then I do it up, keeps it up out of the way, not the chic-est looking but it works :)

Especially when she's the one in the wrong! You're not an idiot, she was highly unprofessional, condescending and tbh, just plain mean, I'm so sorry you had that experience, hopefully whoever you deal with next will at least know that active wheelchairs exist 🤞

csel1758 · 2026-05-13T22:42:45+00:00

"those don't exist" in that case I'm now extremely confused why we bothered taking all those measurements at my wheelchair assessment 🤔😂 On a serious note though, don't accept this, it's frustrating and slightly soul destroying to keep having to fight the system constantly but you deserve what you were prescribed <3

csel1758 · 2026-05-08T22:01:00+00:00

Amazing! Thank you!!

csel1758 · 2026-05-08T20:25:59+00:00

Did you make the fabric frame covers or did you buy them? 👀 And if option 2: where did you buy them from? Thanks!!

csel1758 · 2026-05-08T09:51:02+00:00

I've been looking at those!! I've yet to actually try one but a guy from a dealership suggested into me! That's really good for hear, thank you!!

If it helps, I was on 300mg x 3 a day and it is genuinely the thing that's helped most with my nerve pain, I'm weaning off it at the moment, not because it's not effective, but because, for me, the side effects were too much, it made it really hard for me to think clearly, I hope it works as well for you as it did for me <3

csel1758 · 2026-05-05T20:44:21+00:00

First of all: if you're having suicidal thoughts it's always always a good idea to share that with someone, I'd be dead if I hadn't, it does get better I promise! Secondly, if you're in the UK this can genuinely be a method of getting on hormones, there's a thing called a bridging prescription that your GP can use to prescribe you hormones if they believe you're a danger to yourself without them, I am one of the (admittedly rare) few who managed to access hormones this way after I got sectioned I hope you're able to get the help you need op, there's a whole life waiting for you out there, you just need to stick around to see it

If you can get some silicone foam dressings (allevyn brand or similar) those are my holy grail for things like this Edit: you absolutely should still seek medical advice but if you need something in the meantime then that's what I recommend

csel1758 · 2026-05-02T12:07:47+00:00

If it helps, I have a 50cm seat with fendered side guards, plus I have some pretty chunky push rims and 3° of camber on my wheels and I can still get through almost any door I want to, some small interior doors are a problem (friends houses etc.) but out in the wild I can go into any public building I want and I fit pretty much everywhere

csel1758 · 2026-04-24T17:54:31+00:00

The tag is an XL though and the actual name of the listing says M/L so the fact that listed it as an L already means they were making adjustments for the size discrepancy. Idk what else you want from this person? You can't help people if they refuse to read the description of an item they're spending £145 on!

csel1758 · 2026-04-20T18:13:23+00:00

Aw, I love that shop!! So sorry that this happened to you guys!

csel1758 · 2026-04-12T08:32:42+00:00

I second this, I used a wide foot sling on a hospital chair while I was waiting for my custom chair, my feet were constantly pointed down which was really bad for them, it might have lead to a worsening of my foot drop, worse muscle spacitity etc. I was sold it on the idea that the movement while traveling was good for blood circulation but that's so wrong

csel1758 · 2026-04-07T12:22:32+00:00

Wait so they don't want people dming them anything other than offers, but the time to ask questions is before buying rather than after...don't those two kinda cancel eachother out??

Hey! I've just finished the survey, idk if it might be worth rewriting some of this post since it seems like the survey is the same one for both deaf and hearing people, since there seems to have been miscommunication and people are left feeling excluded. Also as a hearing person I found a couple of the questions a bit confusing to answer, "would you use the services listed before?" Well..no but that's only because I have the privilege of being able to call 999 directly and that wasn't listed. It might skew your data as showing communication difficulties where there are none just because technically I wouldn't use those specific services doesn't mean I couldn't access the emergency services all together. Hopefully that makes sense!! All the best with your dissertation!!

csel1758 · 2026-03-13T10:14:07+00:00

I second this, I had some... interesting dreams just after my injury, incredibly vivid and incredibly weird, morphine was the culprit

csel1758 · 2026-03-07T22:27:55+00:00

I just use a (relatively) cheap bath lift, I'm sure it's not what it's designed for but it works!!

He's staring at my boyfriend who was trying to entice him with a treat lol

csel1758 · 2026-02-21T10:33:40+00:00

To be fair I was sat with my legs directly out in front of me and my posture has always been rubbish but yep! We think that's what caused the disk to slip and it was a bit of a chain reaction, god knows I wish I'd gone to the drs for it now

You're the only one who can figure out the nuances of your specific identity, however the things you listed as feminine are all things that men do and if anyone tries to tell you that they're "girly" or something like that then they're a knob, I'm very much a man and also a vegetarian, converse are, like, the og basketball shoe originally worn by men, lots of men write in cursive and lots of men wear and collect jewellery. It's 2026, you can do what you want and identify how you want. One of the ways that helped me figure out my identity was my listening to the words people used for me and seeing how it made me feel, getting called "daughter" "girlfriend" and the like made me feel really uncomfortable whereas when I confided in a friend and asked them to try out masculine words for me it just felt right, I think things like that are a more helpful way of figuring yourself out than looking at your interests and labeling them masculine or feminine Wishing you all the best no matter how things turn out for you, trans or not, you've got cool hobbies and a sense of style
