Disability visibility II

Author Peggy Munson is interviewed by Susie Bright on BoingBoing about an erotic stories of hers involving disabled characters.  Munson has a mobility impairment herself, but doesn’t go into depth about it in this interview.  Asked whether she’d any disability anti-defamation groups had accused her of representing these characters in an insensitive way, Munson reports that “Disabled folks never get enough recognition to even arrive on the p.c. radar… Disabled people usually don’t get worked up about radical sex because they’re used to their bodies being put under a microscope- poked and prodded and subjected to telethon-esque social freak shows… Even conservative disabled bodies are, on some level, living a queer sexuality.”
