Jetway Jesus

A term that no one uses and one guy decided to come up with as away of spreading ableist ignorance.

Ignorance about mobility aids use are the reason people give ambulatory wheelchair users attitude, harass them, and interrogate them. The majority of wheelchair users are ambulatory wheelchair users; meaning they are able to walk or stand for certain short amounts of time. The process of standing in line to check your baggage, then walking to TSA, then standing in line to go through TSA, and then walking to your terminal (this doesn’t even account for if you need food) can either be entirely too much for a person with a disability or chronic illness, or exasperate their pain to the extreme. That entire process should also, not be compared to the less than 50 feet it takes to walk to your wheelchair.

Some guy on Urban Dictionary: Wow, look at those people walk off the plane to their wheelchairs! Jetway Jesus must have healed them.

Me: You don’t need to be paralyzed to need a wheelchair. Most wheelchair users can walk some distance. 😑
