Choice, experience, authenticity and oppression.

by Sean - 11 April 2008

I have been speaking with a disability rights activist on and off for the last several weeks about BIID, transabled issues, and how it all relates to the disability community. She has changed her views significantly and I think that she has gotten to the point where she *gets* BIID. She is telling me, however, that there is still an issue that many of her friends are voicing - they believe because we get to chose when to deal with the physical aspects of disability, our experience of disability is invalidated (no pun intended).
