A comedian with dwarfism has hit out at the UK's attitude towards her condition - saying she was left "humiliated" and "never felt more disabled".<br /><br />Tanyalee Davis, 52, moved from the US to work in schools as part of an anti-bullying campaign.<br /><br />But the 3ft 3ins performer has since gone back to the States - growing tired of the mistreatment.<br /><br />She says she had particular problems on trains - even being singled out by a guard during one incident in which he told the rest of the train she was holding everyone up.<br /><br />GWR, who was in charge of the service, said at the time they were “collectively horrified”<br /><br />“We got it wrong, it made no sense, a wheelchair space is a wheelchair space, it’s not for luggage or pushchairs,” a spokesperson said.<br /><br />Tanyalee, who is now living in Florida, said: “I’ve never felt more disabled than living in the UK.<br /><br />“It was the general attitude, from train staff to taxi drivers. They would often tell me they didn’t have a disabled ramp. <br /><br />“I found the attitudes way more debilitating over there [the UK]." <br /><br />Tanyalee, who uses a mobility scooter, claims a train guard once announced to passengers that she was causing delays. <br /><br />She says we was told to move from an unreserved spot on the train after a young mum asked to use it for her pram. <br /><br />When Tanyalee refused to move, the guard threatened to call the police and gave a public announcement on the train - telling passengers that “the woman with the mobility scooter”.<br /><br />She said: “It was humiliating, and I cried all the way home."<br /><br />Tanyalee added that the way authority figures would speak to her made her value how much free speech she has in the US. <br /><br />She said: “In the UK I felt like the attitude was very much, ‘No, sorry you can’t do that’.<br /><br />“It played with my head and didn’t realise how beat down it made me. I felt like a second-class citizen <br /><br />Tanyalee says it’s regrettable that she came over to the UK on a mission to help prevent bullying in schools - and ended up getting bullied. <br /><br />She said: “I tried my best to raise awareness and fight the good fight but there’s only so much you can do battling an entire system that doesn't give a s***.” <br /><br />“I came over to make people laugh, but the whole time I was there I was being bullied, that’s the irony of it all."<br /><br />However, despite her negative experiences on public transport, Tanyalee says she still has a great love for the UK's cultural scene.
