Overview

• On August 5, Mills shared a video from her South Western Railway seat showing a passenger complain about her prosthetic leg occupying too much space.
• The man, unaware her leg was artificial, persisted in asking her to move before Mills removed the prosthetic to demonstrate its spatial demands.
• The clip quickly went viral, prompting renewed debate over the physical and social challenges faced by users of prosthetic limbs in shared environments.
• Since losing her lower left leg in a 1993 motorcycle accident, Mills has campaigned for improved prosthetic design and disability inclusion.
• Advocates highlight the incident as a reminder for transport providers to consider seat design and passenger awareness to accommodate mobility aids.
