I know sometimes people do the wrong things for the right reasons, but man, I was fuming. Because I have spent a long time trying to figure out how to own my disability. So to have these keyboard warriors wrestle it from me with a patronizing pat on the head and a, it's okay, Jamie, we'll take it from here. It really boiled my blood. Because I started seriously losing my sight in my mid-teens.

And actually, to this day, people still say, oh, that must have been a very tough stage of life to start losing your sight. Which kind of implies there's a good time. Lucky you going blind in your 40s. And it wasn't a good time. And I was embarrassed by my failing eyes to the point I spent my late teens and a good whack of my 20s in denial, kind of pretending I could still see.

But sight, sight is surprisingly tricky to fake. I mean, I was nailing myself off street furniture, stumbling into main roads, constantly smashing into strangers who just thought I was aggressive and rude. I had to stop kind of misrepresenting myself as this bollard-bashing yob before I get run over or punched. I need to accept the inescapable fact that I was losing my sight.

which I did at the age of 25. And my transition from able to disabled came when I started using this, my white stick, which to my amazement wasn't just an excellent mobility aid, but it was also instantly explaining why I was accidentally in various dodgy situations. It was transformational. Because before it would be, oh, quick, there's a big Scottish pervert creeping around the ladies.

But now with the stickers, oh, there's a big blind sweetheart lost in the loos. It was brilliant. And strong human traits are often characterized through metals, you know, steely-eyed, iron-willed. My white stick was giving me a brass neck. Now, a brass neck is a very high tolerance to excruciatingly awkward or embarrassing situations. It's very popular amongst politicians.

And it was lucky because I'd been running out of options. You know, what was I going to do? Was I going to spend the rest of my life being embarrassed by my eyes? Sod that, you know. Ironically, I was starting to see the humor in them. And the first sight situation I remember finding funny, I was in a supermarket and I reached out for an apple.
