Dear Bumble, Disabled Women Exist!

Read Vinanaya's narrative of how dating apps fail to acknowledge the needs of disabled women.

Dating applications which do not accommodate our needs are ableist!

It is ableist to require me, a disabled woman to strike a pose which my body does not allow me to, to confirm my identity. Particularly when an application claiming to give independence and freedom to women puts this restraint on me, it leads me to wonder - is this freedom only for able-bodied women? Are disabled women never in the plan?

I hope @bumble_india does take this up, and improve their policies because each of us are worthy of companionship and love, even if our bodies may not move in the way the world deems right!
