1. Before every flight/between every offload & onload: take pictures of your wheelchair from all angles and make sure you can see the airport in the background!
— this is KEY to have evidence in case something gets broken and you have to open a case.
2. Add a luggage tag to your wheelchair so it is identifiable.
3. If you have layovers/if your wheelchair needs to be returned to aircraft door; you have to make it so clear a toddler could understand.
• Example: extra label on your physical wheelchair saying so, ask at gate, ask flight attendant beginning of flight for it to return, remind attendant when landing to call for it to for sure return.
— the orange wheelchair tag has not proven enough for many people, making me lose my wheelchair twice in one trip even though my label was TRIPLE CHECKED at the gates. Write it on a strip of ducttape onto your chair I don’t care; mark it clear and loud.
4. If you have removable foot rests: take👏🏻them👏🏻off👏🏻
— these can get lost. Learned the hard way. Take them onto the plane with you. I’ve never been refused to bring these onto my flight along with carry-on/personal item.
5. Get those get push rim covers!!
You can get them for +- 20 bucks on Aliexpress/Amazon. Your push rims will slide across that storage space and it will get scuffed or even splinter.
BONUS: makes it an identifiable wheelchair! I can always clarify with mine ‘the red wheel one with all the stickers’

Firepaw doesn’t need a dad, he’s got these two
When you say "all men are bad" are you including high support disabled men in that? Or are you ignoring their existence because it'll make you have to confront how hateful and harmful that sentiment is.
Are they not men to you? Do you think high support disabled people are "too disabled" to know they feel comfortable in their gender identity? Do high support disabled trans men not exist to you? Do you think high support disabled trans men are just "confused mentally ill girls who aren't competent enough to know their own gender"? Do you somehow think high support disabled men have systemic power?
Come on.
