maybe-amusing (ymmv) case of "pick your non-normativity, it can only be one" (+ trans-insensitivity)
I occasionally forget the plot of that one book on my Mount To Be Read, and look it up on Goodreads to decide if I want to read it next. And I'm always surprised/amused/annoyed to see this one question/answer pair below it.
It's
Q: "Is the main character, Denise, Queer?"
A: "No. Denise is autistic. Her sister, Iris, is transgender (i.e., used to be her brother)."

People seem to think that accessibility is only a consideration for folks with physical disabilities, but there are a lot of different things that can prevent you from accessing or learning something, and many of them are invisible.
ADHD and Autism fundamentally change how you interact and think.
Psychosis fundamentally changes how you see the world and everything in it.
Dyslexia and Dyscalculia are massive concerns for text accessibility.
Color Blindness is an issue that most websites don't even consider.
And these are just getting into the accessibility for people with disabilities - completely disregarding how income and resources factor in.
@boots probably!
That's just for screen readers.
put on someone else's glasses and try to go on all those low-contrast sites. Try navigating a site without moving your hands from a fixed position over tab, shift, and enter.
over three hundred and fourteen million people have disabilities which require standard web accessibility
I remember the irony when everyone on tumblr was adding [image captions] to all their image posts
but the tumblr app was impossible to use with a screen reader and didn't ever read those image captions out to the user. It didn't read out any of the menu buttons.
And before you think about this as only affecting just a few people
More people on the internet use screen readers than the populations of canada and mexico

if you die in the so called real world
well
the documentation on that is shoddy, but that does not mean there is not a lot of it, most of it contradictory
would not recommend experimenting, even for dev purposes
