It's a sad state of affairs when the 'disabled' signs look like what you can see above. Not all people with disabilities are in wheelchairs. Whether it be physically disabled, mentally disabled or otherwise, the only 'disability' in life, is a bad attitude. Not just a bad attitude to life, but a bad attitude to everything. Not all disabilities can be seen either.

This tells me that 'disabled' means 'it doesn't work', or 'I don't work'. My legs have never worked the way I wanted them to. Some days they exceed expectations. I'm not incapacitated, I'm not damaged good, I'm strong not weak and I'm not disposable. I am also very fit and capable of doing certain things. I also know my limitations. The only thing that has stopped me from doing certain things or prevented me, is I haven't had enough faith in myself.
The next time you go into a 'DISABLED TOILET', this puts you into a category, that you are separate from everyone around you, their for being typecast and categorized. If you 'enable' that toilet door, it is open to a lot, similarly, if you have an open mind, it can lead to an unexpected destination, if you have a closed mind, it still works, it's just not open enough.
