My DD was told off for using disabled toilet today

[Thenthatsthatthen]

I need to vent!
Eldest DD 24yo, but looks much younger, maybe around 17-18yo, suffers from ulcerative colitis (has had 3 hospital admissions for it this years and surgery is being considered). She really hates using disabled toilets, to the point she will avoid going out during a flare up, but obviously sometimes it’s unavoidable. Today whilst in Tesco she needed to use the disabled toilet, she keeps a radar key& can’t wait card on her at all times just in case. On the way out a lady waiting outside started to shout at her telling her she should be ashamed of herself, she’s clearly not disabled, to lazy to que for the toilet etc. DD explained she has an IBD and the lady was shouting liar, fat bitches don’t get IBD (new news to me), you teenagers are so entitled these days until a staff member came and asked the lady to leave DD alone. DD left her shopping and called me in tears from the car park. It breaks my heart that I can’t go round to hers and give her a hug (shes 200miles away sadly) and more importantly that some people are so closed minded and uneducated. What gives anyone the right to make such assumptions of anyone.

Please please remember not all disabilities are visible, DD finds it hard enough as it is and situations like this make it so much harder for her

To some people disabled toilets are ‘normal’ toilets!!

The word NORMAL means ‘a way of life that one person as an individual is used to’.

Just for future reference.
