Keeping this because I think it'll be useful for work

The liberal actor is anonymous, they are not discussed in the law. They are not legislated about. That subject is typically cisgender, heterosexual, abled, socio-economically stable, and male. All other subjects are rendered visible through the law...

My disability is neither negative nor positive; however, it demands that I be aware of my own vulnerability. Being disabled brings me great comfort. I am not the liberal political actor. I am dependent upon others, and this dependency has made my body visible within the law...

If we make our differences invisible, that erases the ways in which my disability, as well as my other identities, shape my life and experience both positively and negatively. For this reason, I argue that the law is not liberatory and can never be so. What is liberatory is other people.

From an internet pal of mine, Riley Valentine. Who's currently got a call for chapters out for a book on disability and authoritarianism, which I'm glad to see.
