People can be so clueless. I went to a "women's retreat" last weekend -- I almost didn't go because I was worried that my mild CP would mean I'd be struggling but the organizer (my fucking therapist) assured me that with "a little help" I could easily navigate the site. (I have big balance and gait issues. I've always had them; I'm used to them, but it means sometimes that things get tough.)
It was on an island. I got help in and out of the boat. Fine.
The house was, as advertised, right on the beach, 20 years from the water. Up a steep, rocky hill.
I knew there was no indoor plumbing, but was assured the outhouse was "easy to get to!" It was TWO HOUSE LOTS AWAY.
Some Able-bodied people really, really suck -- and you know, the ones that do have no idea. Never will.
