Attitude is not everything when it comes to disability-My article on Daily Life

I wrote an article on 'Attitude', a new series currently screening on the ABC which many of us living with disabilities have been critiquing.


i know i could have said a lot more especially when The Attitude Foundation misquoted Stella Young on Twitter the other day saying that she said ''the only disability in life is a bad attitude'' when one of her most well known works was critiquing this idea! Clearly they don't even read her work...



Anyway the link to my article is HERE

Queer pride and body privilege-My 1st column for MCV magazine


Link to Article my 1st column in MCV (pg.8). 

Interestingly they didn't use a pic which shows my disability or use a graphic which highlights it. i would have preferred if they did given thats a lot of what I'm writing about...

I suggested the title of ''Queer pride and body privilege'' but they went with ''Queering the rainbow''
