Self-Determination

"All my life as a genderqueer crip, I have puzzled my way through
bodily difference, struggling with my own shame and love, other
people's pity and hatred. Yesterday I helped facilitate the Disability
Gathering here at the conference. We spent the day, disabled people
and our allies telling stories, laughing, crying, and sitting quiet.
It reminded me of the incredible importance of community, how bodily
difference means one thing in isolation and quite another when we come
together, finding ourselves reflected in each other's stories."
