Excellent piece Alexa…every woman should read this….in fact everybody should read this as I’m sure young men have a similar experience.

Women feel like this even though they may have the commercially best body in the world…

Thank you so much for your beautiful words Peg. And I agree. I don't think any of us (male or female) have escaped the body shaming that seems to be so rife in our society - regardless of if you fit into the "traditional" mould or not. I appreciate you sharing!! ❀️

Add to this the stigma, censorship, suppression and dehumanization of people with disabilities and we would have an explosion. It gets more complex, more repressed and more stigmatized. Sexuality and Disability that often gets overlooked. Disability and pleasure that often gets forgotten. This able bodied world is quite alien to me, a young woman with a lifelong disability. This world in which already there are several oppressive cycles, never could become my world. It always feels unwelcome and inaccessible in a lot of ways.
