The room was full of people–disabled people, queer people, trans people, lots of folks who crossed all those categories. It is always so good for me to bring my work to my home communities. I am so often working in rooms with only a few crips and/or a few queers and/or a few trans people. Those are also good, important rooms but so different than last Friday. I have nothing profound to write about the experience. I just get so fed by being and working in my home communities. And we had brilliant conversation about being victims vs. being survivors vs. reclaiming our bodies.
