I Looked at my Body and Said Yes: Where Disability and Style Meet
I think I'd gotten it into my head that disability is always, on some level, supposed to feel bad. Like if I fought myself all the time, I was somehow doing it right. I worried that if gave up the femininity I'd worked so hard for, I'd just be giving in. As someone who has a lot of privilege, I thought it was my job to be the right kind of woman, even if I didn't enjoy it.
