I need to remember, wheelchairs ARE sexy

I have never felt desirable with the chair. I don't feel worthy of love sometimes.

My dad told me recently that no one would give up their entire life for me.

I guess I am -- to society, but I refuse to believe I'm not worth anybody's sacrifice. Everybody in a relationship gives and recieves sacrifices. Why am I not worthy?

Read this blog post.

"Disabled sexuality is virtually erased in our society.  People with disabilities are, at best, considered nonsexual, entirely lacking in sexual identity.  At worst, we are seen as perverts merely for having sexual desires.  And we are, above all, undesirable. The aesthetic of my power chair reflects this–why bother make something sexy when the person using it isn’t going to be having sex?"
