My partner and I recently had the misfortune of experiencing something which
laid bare the level of ableism in society and our institutions.

My partner uses a wheelchair to get around when away from home. They are usually able to walk very short distances (across a room, give or take), but not anything more demanding. This situation is very common among wheelchair users. Among other things, when taking the bus, they usually board or leave the bus on foot, but then get back into their wheelchair as soon as it has been moved into the bus or onto the sidewalk. /2
