Please read up on the term "Invisible Disabilities". Not every disability is obvious, not every disability is immediately provable to satisfy an adhoc request, and not every disability has immediate effects. Your suggestion would lead to people being further marginalized, if every person feels that they can barge in for 2 minutes each. Add up more and more people each stealing away 2 minutes, and that is quite a lot of time.
How would that even work, too? If a random person decides that somebody's disability doesn't exist, do they then just barge in even more than usual. "I decided that your coeliac disease didn't exist, so I used wheat as a thickener. Your fault for not explaining it better."
- TulliusCicero 6y agoThis is a bit of a whoosh moment, as the person you're replying to is actually on the same side as you.
- devteambravo 6y agoMy point exactly. Btw, I'm one of those invisibly disabled people you mention. "Luckily", I also have massive scarring all over, so I don't have to explain myself to people as much.
- MereInterest 6y agoThank you, and sorry for missing the sarcasm in your post. I had interpreted your post as giving a suggestion, rather than as being the inevitable and absurd conclusion of the parent's reasoning.
