Enough with the historical revisionism already!

Totally real NDP campaign materials that were handed to me by a guy yelling on the street corner.

AITA for refusing to date a wheelchair?

I (28F, petite with big boobs and a bigger butt) was on one of those dating apps when I matched with a person (41MTF, FTM, and back again). Everything was going great, they checked every box on my Perfect Partner wishlist, until we met…

(Long boring setup about what I was doing that day with unnecessary details like what setting I used on the toaster when I made breakfast)

We met at the restaurant (Burger King) and I. Was. Shocked. My date (pronouns are god/goddess) was sitting in a wheelchair. I couldn’t believe it. Those sneaky Decipticons! They’re always lying and hiding their wheelchairs!

Here’s why that’s a problem for me; my grandfather was a master stair craftsman in The Old Country, and had to flee to America when the government cracked down on freedom loving people like my family. America was a land of opportunity for him, he personally built every single step in some of the country’s most iconic buildings. My father was training to become a stair master just like my grandfather, and I would have been the millionth generation stair master in my family.

But then the government passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (Thanks Obama) and suddenly stairs were considered woke! (Or not woke, I’m not sure what woke means). Big Elevator personally came in and took my father’s job away. He was so ashamed he went out to get cigarettes and never made it home. My mother had to work 80 hours a week in the coal mines just to keep food on the table. My grandfather died of a broken heart.

And this… person… has the audacity to bring a wheelchair into my life!?! Don’t they know how traumatic that is for me!?!

I sat there imagining what our life would be like together (I didn’t ask what god/goddess is or isn’t capable of but you know how those wheelie people are) I’m petite so I can’t reach things on high shelves and since he’s in a chair I guess we’re screwed if we want the good canned beans instead of the store brand. And how’s he supposed to get in the house? I’d have to carry him everywhere! Anyway I tried to politely decline a further date but then they tortured me into confessing I just couldn’t stand the thought of looking at their gross shrivelled legs and they got mad at me? Like uh you’re the one who asked, I’m allowed to have preferences…

Edit: 7 of my kids showed up and god/goddess acted like they were confused because I never mentioned having kids? Then two of their dads showed up and threatened me and my date. Well my date didn’t take that well, they got upset that I didn’t tell them that some of my kids’ dads are violent stalkers???

Edit 2: it’s only 2 of my exes that are around, 4 of the others are still in prison for now.
