• My local hospital apparently requires their employees to use a “secure” app on their personal phone to transmit data on the patients.

So long as it’s not physically endangering them in any way (for example, if it damaged tendons; or I might discourage doing it on the stairs, though I don’t think that ever came up) or otherwise causing them problems, then I want them to be who they are. That includes whatever manner is comfortable for their walking.

  If it had been, for some reason, necessary to push for it to change, the way to do that would be through whatever treatment was needed (presumably with at least the help of professionals), not through mockery.

• TY!

  edit: Seems you’re correct. however Real Life Comics had at least one strip about how, iirc, the protagonist introduced his girlfriend to Linux and the next week she was building a Beowulf cluster. The visuals were not dissimilar to this, but RLC is difficult to search in my experience.
