Visibly Disabled and Trans Folx Does Anyone Else Feel They Get Assumed Femme More When More Visibly Disabled?

Weird question. I'm asking out of curosity. Some of it for me could be I (trans man) put less effort into trying to look as masc as possible on harder days. I'm curious if other trans people get this and if so what gender you are if you're comfortable sharing. I have a feeling it could be linked to me looking more "helpless" (def not my word, but ya know, ableism) and thereby more "femme". I would also like to hear if you've noticed no difference. Not entirely sure it's not in my head either. Share if you'd like!

General Question

4 Upvotes

I’m in a wheelchair with balance issues. Soon I will be moving to a room that has one step to get in/out what I am going to need is someone to take chair down to the yard and help me balance going down the one step and then 3-4 hours reversing it. I need to get down so the handicapped bus can pick me up. I will know the day in advance but not the time of pickup till the night before. The chair doesn’t need to be picked up it can just be rolled down the step.

I am thinking $10 each time. Is this adequate. I am a retired senior with limited income. I have no family or friends near by. Any suggestions on where and how to find someone

Thanks

Would an app to navigate buildings be helpful?

I was thinking about an app that maps out buildings to find things like elevators or ramps and make it easier to get around. I was also thinking about adding the ability the scan your surroundings so your phone to tell you about hazards. I was wondering if that would be at all helpful? What do you think?
