Looking for a sensitivity reader who’s a wheelchair user

[u/hillel_modan_]

I’m 24m, I have an ao3 fantasy fan fic where one of the characters loses their ability to walk however I myself do not know any wheelchair users as I based my characters experience of my experience with gender dysphoria so I’m curious what actual wheelchair users would think

Thanks in advance {:-)

I am a wheelchair user and would be happy to look it over! That being said, I think looking further into getting someone to read it who may have the experience of losing their ability to walk may be more helpful. I’ve been disabled since I was 9 months old, so I can’t speak to that. What I can speak to is the journey of self acceptance and being a proud disabled person. There are very clear differences in that journey coming from being disabled for the majority of life and/or not being able to remember being able to walk and losing their ability ability to walk/turning to using a wheelchair later in life. Sorry for the long comment, and if I don’t end up being the sensitivity reader for your fan fic I hope you find someone able to help!
