It’s not like there’s a glut of good disabled rep in fiction, let alone romances that feature interabled relationships without falling into stereotypes. So, as marginalized readers are wont to do, we go looking for aspects of ourselves buried in other types of characters.

...Morality is not innate. Nurture is a lot. Nobody is born a monster or an angel. Everything that happens after that needs work, talking, and empathy. Patriarchal judgement is lazy.

If support is withdrawn before suitable work exists, the risk does not disappear—it is shifted onto disabled people, families, councils and the NHS.

Feminism doesn't require women to see trans+ people as the enemy. For many of us, feminism has always meant challenging inequality, standing alongside people whose rights are under threat, and refusing to accept that one group's equality must come at another's expense. That's our feminism too.

“I have grown incredibly exasperated at the portrayal of ‘gender critical’ perspectives as representing all women when my feminism has ALWAYS been inclusive and intersectional.”

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

I’m very worried about the impact of restricting access to social media until 18 when family offer less support and scaffolding around it. We need to support kids in using tools that will be part of their everyday lives so they can make safer choices as they grow up not leave them to do it alone.
