The problem with them is that, while they would certainly be affronted if a stranger stopped and confronted them with questions about THEIR personal lives, it's somehow perceived as "okay" to confront (yes, CONFRONT!) a person with a disability or perceived "difference," because THEY are entitled to know, and WE are not entitled to our privacy. <br /><br />I won't tarnish your awesome blog post by going into details as to what I would tell them. All I will do is virtually hug you, Carly, and tell you that the bigger the sense of entitlement, the smaller the person. LOVE YOU!!!

All I did was stand up for my rights and say no, it's not OK. <br /><br />What you do, with all the public speaking and awareness, is amazing. You shouldn't have to fight for basic rights like a taxi ride home with a respectful driver. And you definitely shouldn't have to deal with the tossers who comment with such ignorance and malice.<br /><br />And go Corbin :)White Sapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992357065490573869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-53933676418824363542013-07-12T13:46:21.000+10:002013-07-12T13:46:21.000+10:00Oh the joys of news.com.au commenters.
