This is as real as it gets.
I have POTs & chronic illnesses.
When I have a period,
I faint more often.
Today I am struggling with staying conscious and have had to miss work because of it. The thing is, I am privileged enough to still have my job despite this. So many of us are not as lucky, and disability benefits are not enough to live on by a mile.
Making our world more accessible is a necessity,
not a privilege or a handout.
It is a human right.
