I have a confession to make. I love my body, I have come to embrace it, but I know that’s not possible for many disabled people experiencing pain and chronic illness.

Early in this work I admonished people that wanted cures for their disabilities because I believed this was
Another example of nondisabled people forcing their prescription for solving disability into disabled people. And for that, I apologize.

The point of this work is not for any one person to determine what disabled people want, but give space for people to tell the world what
They choose for their bodies. From now on, I will be operating under that framework.
