Wheelchair User Tackles Dating App Hate | Sheffield News
Description
A woman in a wheelchair shares the disturbing, daily barrage of crude and degrading messages she receives on dating apps—often mocking her mobility with jokes like “Hot Wheels”—after being diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia. Frustrated and drained, she’s deleted and reinstalled apps multiple times, but continues to post screenshots online to confront the ignorance and rally support from others who’ve been shocked by the cruelty. Her viral posts have sparked outrage and solidarity, exposing how many people still treat disabled individuals with disrespect in the dating world—while Phoebe refuses to stay silent, using her platform to demand better treatment and visibility.
