How's it ableist? Genuinely asking.

(I have moderate cerebral palsy/spastic hemiplegia)

I don't need one but i know plenty of old/disabled people for who a straw is a necessity.

I am happy we moved away from plastic straws being mainstream but i also feel like there should have been possible exceptions for medical use. The paper and aluminium alternatives are really not that good.

Oh, yeah. That is a good point. This post was certainly not meant to discriminate or disparage any group of people.

Don’t worry, i still get trapped in the same biases at times.

I used to make fun of bottled egg liquids till someone accurately pointed out that for some cracking an egg is a real obstacle.
