45. The big lie perpetrated

Mon Dec 7, 2015, 11:02 PM

--- "Normal" sexual functioning allows a person to become a citizen- right? Given the way sex is treated as an initiation to adulthood, that is truly what people in the US believe.

The belief that a person is incomplete if their bodies don't function a particular way is ableist. People who have a range of disabilities, including spinal cord injuries have happy, healthy, sex lives.

How you compare accidents with intentional geniral mutiltion is beyond me.
