This Femininity is Mine

Disability and femininity. Reclaiming femininity as a disabled woman.

4/8/26

I want to see disabled girls being snobs. I want to see disabled girls being the girliest girls. 

I want them wearing enough layers of expensive foundation on their face to build a house spanning from their foreheads down to their cheek-bones. I want to see their skin. To have their scars peek through crop tops or over their jeans. I want them to waddle, roll, or “crip walk” down the street with the most frivolous and hard to pronounce drinks. 

I want a whole cast of beautiful disabled girls in expensive outfits shouting at each other inside of restaurants in a reality tv series. I want their dating lives and relationship drama to be front and center on my television screen. 

I want them on runways, in ads for beauty products, and in my magazines. 

I want them on the small and big screen. I want to hear them sing. 

I want them to be overconfident when duty calls. I want them to be unapologetic in who they are, what they believe, what and who they stand for, what they think and say. 

That is all. That is the post.
