Frivolous like Fashion

Abstract Paranoia plagues disability like it haunts transness. What if disability and trans do not have to be real and authentic, but instead can exist because of their cool aesthetics? The author desires a world in which using aids, spaces, and tools associated with disability is considered just as dangerously contagious as transitioning.

Abstract

Abstract Paranoia plagues disability like it haunts transness. What if disability and trans do not have to be real and authentic, but instead can exist because of their cool aesthetics? The author desires a world in which using aids, spaces, and tools associated with disability is considered just as dangerously contagious as transitioning.
