THE DISCRIMINATION AMONG DIFFERENT TYPES AND LEVELS OF DISABILITY HINDERS THE FIGHT FOR INCLUSION IN THE SEXUAL SOCIETY

There is no need to look at who is the most oppressed among the disabled, what we need to do, if at all we want to fight for equality, we need to approach it with a common voice and with a common goal in mind. This is how we will achieve the access of the disabled to the mainstream of sexuality. The other notion that brings a lot of concern is the “normalization” of sexuality. We need to give needed respect to the difference in sexual orientation of the disabled people just as it is in the general population, people are different in their preferences and choices and we should give it due respect.

 

There are so many other possibilities that the disabled people have taken and can take to feel sexual rather than fighting to conform or even to fit in the stereotyped society, the exclusive society or the society that looks for body perfection and “beauty”. The disabled are seen to fight this with their fitness and their youthful looks and behaviours expressing how sexuality can be what an individual wants it to be. This is where they also take other notions where male and female don’t really matter to them, they assume other sexual orientations.

 

When other aspects like gayism and lesbianism are taken up by the disabled, then they will not feel the oppression of sexuality. When these are excluded, then the disabled men feel so much secluded. These are not just of concern to the disabled but also to the general population. We need to let people make choices and decisions of what they feel will liberate them. This is because people have different ways of having sex and enjoying it as well expressing their feelings.
