Can we please include 'disability' in the race, class, gender axes? It's
the most damning one of all and probably the most "vulnerable" set of
people in that we can't always walk, see, move, hear, speak, mitigate pain

public transport, in social exclusion, socialising exclusion, in leisure
and hobbies, in trying to date and have relationships, in travel abroad, in
places of worship etc etc etc?
