You mirror my feelings entirely. I'm not of the ample chested variety, but I found it very annoying when shopping for a new telly when the assistants spoke to my boys - who were there for carrying duties only - not me who had the bits of paper with research one and was carrying the cards.

I got lucky with the whole wheelchair thing - one of my best mates at school was in a chair, so I'm pretty used to dealing with it. Part of what set me up for just treating people as individual people, not trying (and failing) to assign stereotypes.

Yes
you'd think it was the bad old days when a single woman couldn't buy a sofa unless she had a male co-signatory.

Being in a wheelchair really made me re-evaluate how we treat disabled people. I was lucky enough to get better totally and to walk again, but so many people aren't, and the last thing they need is discrimination.
