And I’m sorry that whoever did that telling off clearly didn’t understand what they watched, because if they had they would have understood that it was addressing attitudes like their own. People with disabilities, whether physical, intellectual or both, are sexual beings. They have relationships, and that includes sex. As long as everyone is consenting and there are no weird power imbalances, what’s the problem with that? <br />I get talked to like I’m a child quite a bit, people bend down to talk to me and use a patronising sing song tone of voice. They assume me partner is my carer and ask him about my capabilities. It’s infuriating and I usually tell them where to go. I know it’s so much worse if you have an intellectual disability though, both from having people assume that of me and from working with teens with IDs in my pre-disabled life. The only way those attitudes are going to change is by challenging them, so thank you for being a part of that.Girl on wheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796804535876857751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-47134745065134409612018-07-25T17:23:09.588-04:002018-07-25T17:23:09.588-04:00"Disabled people are allowed to say

Every actor that participated chose whichever scenario spoke to them most deeply. The company always works that way. Nobody is ever asked to participate in anything that feels uncomfortable or at odds with their personal values. Many discussions were had before rehearsals began. The performers in that scene include a mother and son who specifically wanted to be a part of addressing the issues you raise. It was a hilarious day and everyone got paid.
