As someone with a disability, this tracks lol. I don't outright disclose my disability on my profile (saved for dms, as some people can be creepy), but I say my idea of 'hiking' is more like a casual stroll in the local botanical gardens.

they are, but I think it's interesting how people feel the need to hide this. it's not like only skinny people can go hiking.
