By not looking like a fool I meant: I get offered seats on the Metro/bus all the time. Sometimes by virtue of being a girl, but more often by virtue of walking with a slight limp. I'm actually fine. I can stand, run, dance, play sports, and do yoga. I had a slight growth disorder as a child and my feet don't exactly work like everyone else's. Sure, that means that I can't really wear heels (but boy do I try!), but it actually makes my turnout better for dance! So, not disabled! I don't need pity (in everyday circumstances, sprained knee aside) and I kind of feel embarrassed, particularly when much older people offer their seats because "I must be in pain."
