I'm skinny and I'll pass out in less than an hour. Have severe POTS from EDS, heart went into asystole after 35 minutes into a tilt table test and they had to put me back down. I've passed out several times in other settings.

It can even be dangerous for some people to be in a standing position for too long. I have a severe case of POTS caused by a genetic disorder. My heart stopped during a tilt table test, which is where I was forced to remain in a standing position. If I'm expected to pay more for a normal seat just because I'm disabled, that's ableism.

Why should I have to be forced to pay more for sitting seats just because I have a disability? What if all the sitting seats are fully booked or the plane has no sitting seats for passengers? It's like intentionally designing a shop with several tall steps at the entrance that would make it impossible for wheelchair users to enter, and the wheelchair users have to pay each time they shop there to have a ramp extended at the entrance so they can enter. It's an example of ablest design.

What about people like myself who have POTS and can't be in a standing position for too long? My heart can legit stop causing me to pass out if I'm standing for too long.

I still need to play Link Between Worlds. Link To The Past is the best 2D Zelda imo

I'm absolutely against anti Semitism but it's not anti Semitism to say Israel is committing a genocide. I wish more people realised that.

Another reason I'll never use Facebook. It's been a hellsite for a long time

If these waste products are CNS depressants, wouldn't they cause you to pass out and sleep (similar to how people often pass out and sleep a couple hours after taking an ambien, for instance. Ambien is also a CNS depressant) before death happens?

Sort of like how your body prevents you from dying from holding your own breath by forcing you to breathe again once passed out.
