Mobility is central to human existence. Even those who are physically incapable of movement require assistance in getting from one place to another to receive care, nourishment and vital stimuli-or, at the very least, are dependent on the mobility of products, services and caretakers for their well-being.

Interesting article.
The only thing I would say is, with regard to the 10 recommendations at the end. They strike me as simple common courtesy and human decency, something which should already be implemented as a matter of course. Not something which should have to be recommended, be that for trans people or anyone else. It's rather sad that people have to be reminded of such things.
