I go out in public every now and again — increasingly in the last few days. One thing I’ve noticed is that either people are more attracted to me in general; or I’ve become more approachable. Or society itself has changed.

The really frustrating thing is that I haven’t the outward appearance of anyone who’s ill or injured or infirm. I look exactly as I always have. No, it’s not my responsibility to explain to everyone; people will need to learn that not everyone looks like their expectations.
