Follow along as one commuter navigates Philly sidewalks using her wheelchair 

Yes, clearly bicycles are worth mentioning here.

French cities are quite different to american cities though?

Dr. Amanda Parezo shouldn't have to resort to "getting out of these types of cities." Dr. Parezo is a highly educated OTD raising awareness for accessibility and is a professor of occupational therapy at Thomas Jefferson University. And just because she can afford a car with hand controls doesn't mean it is the accessibility tool that actually gets the job done in a city like this. Philly is also a fantastic healthcare hub, and as a child who was cared for at CHOP, it doesn't get better for pediatrics than Philly. Amanda clearly has the physical skills, a Smoov attachment, a capable chair, and can commute in the absence of clear accessibility barriers. I am debating attending school for my doctorate in Philly, and as a wheelchair user, Dr. Parezo is paving the way for the rest of us. Also, fighting for equal rights is an intersectional issue, so getting mad at the LGBTQ community and other racial minorities is absurd. It's not a pie; their advocacy isn't taking slices away from you; it actually helps move the fight of the disability community forward. We need more intersectional advocacy, but demonizing someone else's fight for equality is wrong on many levels.

I'm disabled 👨‍🦽 and I do drive but I need to exercise, which is really important for my continued health so wheeling myself around is really important for me.

It's really hard and expensive to have a car in any major city regardless if you're able-bodied or disabled. Finding accessible parking in animator city is a pain in the ass too.

​@@ballerinaskierwhat you mean demonizing, he/she isn't demonizing anything, he/she is just frustrated that handicap rights are often ignored

@@leob4403 I don’t even know what you’re trying to correct me on but take several seats if you’re trying to correct a disabled person and then saying in the same breath “handicapped rights”
