    Bad Attitudes: An Uninspiring Podcast About Disability

    A less-than-inspiring exploration of disability from someone who is actually disabled. Heavy on the sarcasm, Bad Attitudes explores the reality of being disabled, how non-disabled people can become better advocates and allies, disability representation in pop culture, and the ways in which disability permeates society. Young or sensitive ears beware. N (always) SFW.

    CW: Mentions of transphobia, violence against trans people

    Is it okay for a non-binary person who feels unsafe in gender-specific restrooms to use those standalone restrooms that are typically set aside for disabled people or people with small children? I say yes.

    Episode 96: What's So Great About Kids?

    Don't me wrong, I've got nothing against kids. I just want to know why we give so much more consideration to their well-being and suffering than we do adults who are in similar positions.

    Episode 94: So, Which Is It?

    Episode 94: So, Which Is It?

    It's funny to me how religious extremists are so quick to proclaim that when the Rapture comes everyone will be put in their "right body," but their definition of the "right body" isn't consistent. If you're transgender, your right body is your pre-transition body, ie, the body you were born in. But, if you're disabled, the body you were born in ISN'T your right body.

    Episode 84: Born This Way? Maybe

    Episode 84: Born This Way? Maybe

    A lot of disabled people say they were "born disabled" because it's easier than explaining how the conditions of their body are less to blame for their disability than the conditions of their environments. I've been thinking a lot about whether I was "born disabled," and this is what I came up with.
