WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE SEXUAL? A REALITY THAT IS NOT KNOWN BY MANY PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Being sexual is not necessarily being sexy and being rich, it calls for what you have deep inside you, if you have positive feelings about yourself and you show it out, then you will get back the respect and the appreciation and definitely you will win a heart. That self assurance is more important because this will make people take you seriously. Self love and self worth are as loud as the voices of the disabled activists. So, we need to ensure that we increase our sence of pride and self worth and this will work wonders to us.

 

The other thing we cannot afford to overlook is the impairments of the disabled people, losing contact with our physical and sensory lives will not favour us when it comes to fighting for equality and inclusion. We need to give attention to the difference, the limitations, the body problems and the lack of function. These are the things that are so real about the lives of the disabled when we touch on matters to do with sexuality.

 

The differences here may cover areas of race, gender, class and sexuality as well as the difference of relationships the disabled people have with their impairments. Indeed we cannot brush away the fact that the disabled are victims of their malfunctioning bodies and not only the society in which they live, this will help us a lot in handling the question of sexuality and will help in coming up with a concrete solution and a lasting answer. So, we don’t need to shy away from reality of any type and any nature.

 

If we only pay all the attention on the society as the cause of the challenges that the disabled face, then we will be showing clearly that disability is to show how people are resisting the societal barriers, in real sense, it is very true that indeed disabled people can overcome discrimination and prejudice and indeed many have overcome it.
