I know a chap who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident. He often wears shorts, not because he wants to draw attention to himself but for the simple reason his prosthetic leg often malfunctions and he has to, excuse the pun, carry out running repairs. Trousers have to be removed to gain access, shorts don't, he carries a small tool case everywhere.
tilly: "So, your empathy would stop you wearing shorts because your exposed prosthetic limb might upset other people?" - No because I want avoid effectively saying: "Look at me I have no legs and I can still walk"
"You would be sensitive to other peoples' feelings by keeping your prosthetic climb covered and out of sight?" - No because I want avoid effectively saying: "Look at me I have no legs and I can still walk"
You assume other people think the same way as you.
If I see a person with a prosthetic leg, white stick, walking stick, guide dog or any type of disability I am simply aware that I need to be mindful, they may not be as agile or steady on their feet, might need more space, might need the offer of a helping hand.
