Following on from my post about monster women and again via ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
the_school_of_philosophy: the seam of skin and scales, in which a trans woman refuses to be see her body as a trap.
She doesn't mention disability explicitly, but almost everything she says rang very true for me, and trans people and disabled people are both very much left on the outskirts of white-young-feminist ideas about "loving your body". (In different ways of course, and I don't mean to flatten out the differences, especially since my disabilities are frequently invisible)
I am having a very interesting discussion with capriuni on a post she made about disability and monstrousness, and realised it may not be entirely a coincidence that I felt like drawing monster girls shortly after starting to go out more in my wheelchair and having to deal with the way that makes people look at me (and the way it makes me look at myself).
