Why I Proudly Call Myself a Crip, Queer Feminist
I was diagnosed with a chronic illness in April of 2019. At least I think so, but part of my illness is memory issues, so I’m not sure. I learned about intersectionality and feminist theory beginning in August of 2019. I just began my journey with chronic illness and disability studies this year, and with that came crip theory. Don’t flinch at the word, it is mine, not yours. I will tell you what it means to me so you can read it without fear of offending. I am crip, and have become it just as I am queer and have become that too.
