About this blog
The purpose of this blog is to showcase the fact that disabled people can be sexy! Disabled people are very often regarded as asexual, as “innocent children” even when we are adults, as undesirable or disgusting, as not fitting society’s image of sexually active or attractive people. People who are attracted to disabled people are regarded as “perverts”, as exploiters of the innocent, or as figures of ridicule. My aim on this blog is to post pictures and videos of disabled people being sexy and awesome to counter those assumptions.
About me
I am on the autistic spectrum and have a few other impairment-related issues. I sometimes can and sometimes can’t speak verbally. I live in England and I am 30 years old, but consider myself “age queer” in that I tend to very much not feel my real age, but am socially quite a lot “younger”. I am somewhere on the genderqueer/transgender spectrum - I don’t really identify with either binary gender, but consider myself somewhat “feminine” (in an atypical, autistic kind of way), but tend to dress/look more “male” most of the time because I find “male” styles more comfortable.
I am specifically attracted to visibly disabled people, but don’t really identify with the “devotee” label/community because I don’t have a “fetish” for any one specific impairment and because I think that community is very dodgy around things like consent and gender stereotypes and contributes to attraction to disabled people being seen as “creepy” and exploitative. I do find some non-disabled people attractive too. I am more often attracted to female-bodied than male-bodied people, but that’s by no means exclusive, and I’m attracted to a wide range of gender presentations (although I tend to find the extremes of straight female/straight male a bit boring).
I support the <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_model_of_disability”>Social Model of Disability</a>, which is why I talk about “disabled people” rather than “people with disabilities”.
Lucy isn’t my real name, but it’s a name I like.
I’ll probably add more to this “about” page as I think of it.
