Intersectionality 🌈

Hi guys!

I just wanted to share what’s been weighing on my mind, and I figure that pride month is the perfect opportunity to bring this up.

I’ve been thinking a lot about oppression towards queer and disabled people - as a black person, I’ve grown up being taught about racism and discrimination towards black people and other BIPOC, so I’ve always been aware of that part of my identity. Learning that I’m also neurodivergent and queer has been a very serious thing for me because I was never taught/raised that it’s okay to be that way and that it was possible for me (as a black person) to be that way. The blatant gaslighting that I witnessed about how possible it is for a black person to be queer and/or neurodivergent was extremely appalling and I will never be able to forget it. This comes with experiencing firsthand the kind of oppression that neurodivergent/disabled AND queer people face, and that’s stressful and traumatic to a degree that I cannot put into words. Not knowing is one thing, but being told by “trustworthy people” that you can never be that way just to realize that you are, then facing oppression is deeply saddening. It’s worth grieving. It’s very upsetting. My heart goes out to all the people who have similar experiences and I just want to say that your anger/upset/literally however this makes you feel is 100% valid. Being lied to about your identity and then facing oppression because it is your identity is absolutely worth rage and sadness. It’s like a constant fight just to be human. Just to exist.

As always, feel free to share your thoughts. ❤️‍🩹

Disability Intimacy: Essays on Love, Care, and Desire

Alice Wong

The much-anticipated follow up to the groundbreaking anthology Disability Visibility: another revolutionary collection of first-person writing on the joys and challenges of the modern disability experience, and intimacy in all its myriad forms. What is intimacy? More than sex, more than romantic love, the pieces in this stunning and illuminating new anthology offer broader and more inclusive definitions of what it can mean to be intimate with another person. Explorations of caregiving, community, access, and friendship offer us alternative ways of thinking about the connections we form with others—a vital reimagining in an era when forced physical distance is at times a necessary norm. But don't worry: there's still sex to consider—and the numerous ways sexual liberation intersects with disability justice. Plunge between these pages and you'll also find disabled sexual discovery, disabled love stories, and disabled joy. These twenty-five stunning original pieces—plus other modern classics on the subject, all carefully curated by acclaimed activist Alice Wong—include essays, photo essays, poetry, drama, and a full spectrum of the dreams, fantasies, and deeply personal realities of a wide range of beautiful bodies and minds. Disability Intimacy will free your thinking, invigorate your spirit, and delight your desires.

Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century

Alice Wong

One in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some disabilities are visible, others less apparent—but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Now, just in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, activist Alice Wong brings together this urgent, galvanizing collection of contemporary essays by disabled people. From Harriet McBryde Johnson’s account of her debate with Peter Singer over her own personhood to original pieces by authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma; from blog posts, manifestos, and eulogies to Congressional testimonies, and beyond: this anthology gives a glimpse into the rich complexity of the disabled experience, highlighting the passions, talents, and everyday lives of this community. It invites readers to question their own understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the future and the past with hope and love.

Trans Sex: A Guide for Adults

Kelvin Sparks

Does a post-vaginoplasty vagina have a G-spot? Why do some trans people find they enjoy anal sex more after testosterone? And can people with post-surgical vaginas experience vaginismus? Written by renowned sex blogger and educator Kelvin Sparks, Trans Sex is the essential guide to sex and bodies for all trans, non-binary and intersex people. Covering everything from post-surgical anatomy and hormone replacement therapy to sex toys, kink and safe sex, this empowering and practical guide also explores desire, pleasure and arousal (and why these aren't the same thing), how to navigate sex and consent with other people, as well as the difficulties many trans people experience in relation to sex, such as dysphoria and violence. Raw, honest and nothing like the sex education you received at school, this guide is here to help you on your journey to sexual discovery and fulfilment.

I've picked up 12 books from TBR and created a shelf. WISH ME LUCK

Edit: here's the list for anyone that would like to pick up one of these!
