Listen to this story:

Then, of course, there’s a whole separate issue of people’s prejudice. There are a whole bunch of people that wouldn’t even look at you as a potential person who could be in a relationship because you have a disability. 

And, it’s weird now too, with, like, a lot of dating being online. 

I don’t feel particularly safe with the idea of online dating as a disabled person because I feel like it’s a platform that invites people to ask a lot of intrusive and weird questions and sort of look at you like a circus act or like a bucket list item or something, rather than actually wanting to get to know you. But at the same time, even without a disability, it’s very hard to meet people in person. And then when you’re disabled and you can’t drive and go out on your own, that’s even more limiting. And all of these things still apply. If two people that are disabled are in a relationship, there’s still the issue of, you know, the whole financial thing.
