Chronic Sex

A few notes:

• I believe strongly in disability being celebrated as a part of our identities. I also use identity-first language – I am disabled, not a person with a disability.
• To cut down on possible triggers on this page, most information around abuse and domestic violence will be listed on a separate page. (This is not an obvious URL if you are concerned about your internet history being monitored).
• While I work hard at learning – and unlearning – including sharing resources, I know that I may have covered spots and other pitfalls due to my experiences, privileges, and more. If you have information that I don’t, such as why an author listed here shouldn’t be, please email me.

 

Talia Lewis has been working to revamp how we define ableism to be more inclusive and encompassing:

Note: By sharing Talia’s definition above, I am by no means taking any sort of credit for this definition or the work Talia does.
