walk fine, talk great. Only the knees and back are iffy.

I am not in a wheelchair. I have never been in an inspirational "disease of the week movie."

If I am fully honest, some will say I am angry or entitled.

Nah, it would be nice to not have Tinder provide a baseline I cannot meet.

People and professionals have had two reactions.

"Why are you thinking about sex?" and "What are you doing here?"

I would like positive attention and dignity.

I have half a dozen women contact me through here. Their behavior has been the baseline for how most folks have treated me throughout my life.

They were all BDSM and rather aggressive. I have no issue with BDSM but these women told me what we would be doing and had a problem when when I objected. I had things I did no want to do and those women would not listen.

I dodged a bullet but felt angry because I was mistreated. Total disrespect.

I am not "a favor." I am not a realization of a fetish or a devotee.

I am a man with a functioning mind who would like to meet a person who can hold a conversation.

But I am called slurs as introduction. People look disgusted when they see me. Those same people will act like it's my fault for their derogatory behavior towards me.

I am tired of being singled out because I am different. I deserve nothing and am only entitled to mutual respect
