I wish that were the case. I’m chronically ill and there are times that I really can’t stand for long periods as I get frail. I don’t look typically ill as I’m relatively young (27) and at look I look healthy but my illness is internal and bowel related so I’m not going to look disabled or infirm unless things have been really bad and I’ve lost a dramatic amount of weight. Basically what I’m trying to say is that there are those of us who are ill who don’t match most people’s idea of illness and so won’t be asked despite some of us really needing a seat some days.
