A great listen juxtaposing fairytales with real experiences of disabled people. It really showed how much of fairytales or current fantasy works centre on someone “overcoming” their disability and only then having a good life.

You ever felt chastised by a book before?! We’ll post read that’s how this memoir/exposé makes me feel. And it’s because of my ignorance before reading. When you are able bodied you don’t see how considerably lacking the world is across the board for our disabled humans. How villainized they are in media, and stories and not in an overt way but in a subversive evil way. You notice the lack of representation in general and how shameful it is to even ask disabled folks questions According to the regular social constructs. WTF is that even a thing?!? I will definitely be doing better and my best to make things more accessible and inclusive. Fully intend to have the talks with my children and make sure they are respectfully curious. My only real hiccup with this is I wish Leduc had included more stories from her peers alongside her personal tale as I really enjoying hearing the various perspectives.

A moving and informative piece. Sometimes you need something to open up your eyes and remind you of perspectives you do not have, and this did exactly that.
