Friends, if you read one post of mine today, please let this be the one. This is me. As you can see, I am in a wheelchair. I have a physical disability called spina bifida, which occurs at birth when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly. Many definitions of spina bifida

"Yes!" is consent. "No" is not consent. "I'm not sure about that" is not consent. "Maybe later" is not consent. "I don't feel comfortable with that" is not consent. Anything less than an informed, SOBER, enthusiastic "YES!" is NOT consent. It's not that hard, men. Seriously.

I remember a few years ago I received a message asking me "Does it suck to be in a wheelchair?" That message was shocking, but it didn't hurt me, didn't get me down, even for one minute. I know who I am, I love who I am, and I am damn proud of who I am.

stigmatizing and ableist. We are often talked down to, bullied, mocked, and not taken seriously. Some of us are made to feel that we're invalid because of our disabilities, whether they are physical and visible like mine, or invisible.
