For anyone who's interested, a link
to a photographic exhibition on disability and sexuality. Very well
done, and very thought provoking. No idea how accessible the pages will
prove to be, though.
My favourite quote was the following:
I HATE when people tell me how well I've overcome my disability. To me, it's suggesting that I am separate from my body. But my body is me and I am my body. This includes my disability. It is a part of who I am and a part of what makes my body beautiful and a part of what makes me a beautiful person. My disability CANNOT be separated from who I am. I cannot overcome my own body.
Oh, and a warning. Anyone reading this who knows Darren Fitler should, um, be prepared. Because I wasn't. Not that it proved much of a problem or anything. :)
