What is/are the biggest challenges you face as a disabled person? These could be specifically related to your impairment (like issues with pain) or compounded/added to by you disability (like issues with being gay but feeling unable to express yourself because you need support).

    As someone with IBD and a stoma, access to public bathrooms let alone a disabled bathroom is always a huge challenge. I want to go visit a village where my ancestors grew up, yet there is no public bathroom, just one pub within a 4 to 5 mile radius.
