People bitch and moan about straws. But this thought occurred to me recently, why don’t they offer reusable ones instead and just wash it with other tableware?

I feel like people trying to “poke holes” in the needs of disabled people they clearly haven’t taken even a minute to research (never mind considered the fact you don’t know everything, and you not knowing something doesn’t make it somehow wrong or invalid) are wilfully ignorant ableists (E: and your next reply confirms it. You don’t get to decide who is or isn’t “too disabled” to do anything, ableist)
Or you could, you know, answer legitimate questions rather than go to ad hominem attacks.
And you could have popped a few words into a search engine before you went straight to “I feel like.” Many of your questions have already been answered; why not do thr homework first?

I did Google things like “biodegradable straws choking hazard”, and “metal straw allergy” and found exactly jack shit to back up those assertions.
I googled “metal straw burning” and found “this injury can be prevented with the use of the silicone cap as it would act as a barrier,” so it’s not a problem either.
Just because someone is disabled, it is not a black check to make unchallenged assertions.
People: provide a wealth of evidence, including dissertations from those with disabilities
You: Nuh uh!
Congrats.
Let’s see if they get it this time! (Hint: they won’t)
I’m not disabled, but the whole “people with disabilities don’t know what they need” nonsense irritates me.
