As a cis straight disabled woman I was intrigued by this anthology. I was already familiar with some of Alice Wong’s book and advocacy. I also acknowledge my privilege of being a white, highly educated research associate in the area of gynecological and reproductive health for women with physical disabilities. I wanted to read “Disability Intimacy” for both personal and professional reasons. Personally, I found some of the essays especially relatable; describing similar experiences in terms of varying degrees and types of intimacies. Others essays opened my eyes to different perspectives and experiences. I think this is an important and diverse collection that anyone interested in the area of disabilities, intimacy and sexuality should read. I did find some of the verbiage a bit hard to read because it was sexually explicit. But to each their own in terms of how they want to express themselves.
