Isn't it fascinating as a dev that we can almost instantaneously identify if a man who is standing onstage, wearing pants is an amputee? To be exact, an above knee amputee who is wearing a prosthetic leg. This happened at a professional development day ... I was running late, the speaker was perhaps 10 minutes into his presentation, and as soon as I sat downy eyes zeroed in on his left leg.
I don't recall most of his presentation 😁

A bit like our ability to spot a wheelchair wheel from 50ft in a crowded space.

I've always wondered if non-devs ever even notice. The same goes for wheelers in pictures where it isn't obvious that they're in a chair. Something about the sitting height or the fact that so many other people are standing always sends a signal.

walking2wheels You might find better luck connecting with someone that has logged in and posted in threads more recently. At least, if you want a response in some reasonable amount of time.

Sometimes strollers with large wheels throw me off, but yes hahaha I am not anti kids but I HATE seeing wheels in my peripheral vision and realize it's a stroller. Such a disappointment. My dude doesn't wear a lot of long pants because then he can't easily adjust his leg but when he does and I can make out the shape of his prosthetic <insert pic of Italian chef air kissing fingers> it's great.
