'I used the toilet and then started to fix my hair and apply some more lipstick. As I was doing so a male doorman burst into the toilet, unlocking it to do so. Now to set the scene, this is a toilet that literally opens into the bar and is in full view of many tables' #Disability
This has happened to me before, because I used my own radar key to access the toilet and didn't have enough time to Q at the bar and ask permission to go to the loo. Imagine if you were having drinks with friends but had to Q to ask the barman's permission to use the ladies
'Then it happened, that...totally disgusting moment. He said, ‘are you even disabled?’ I remember feeling sick with anger when he asked me that... Unable to process what had just happened... all I could do was wave my walking stick in his direction'. #Disability
I now carry 2 forms of disability ID and always have to have someone wait outside the toilet for me, I'm too scared to use them on my own now. #Disability
'Why did he think it was okay to get the master radar key from behind the bar to open the toilet door? I had used my own key, why the hell would I even have one if not disabled?' #Disability
