The Idea Of Prosthetics Is A Tool.

For Me, I Never Ever Felt The Ownership Or Any Identity With Any Community Of Disabilities. I Didn't Grow Up Being Told That I Was A Disabled Child.

It's Hard Enough For Women To Walk On High Heels. And I'm On Stilts!

I Have Learned Not To Overlook The Advantages Of Being Me. From When I Was A Softball Player, And I Held The Stolen Bases Record. I Would Slide Into Second With My Prostheses, And The Girl On The Base Could Either Step Aside Or Meet Two Wooden Sticks.

When I Watch Mad Men And I See The Patronising Attitudes To Women That Are So Shocking For All Of Us To Watch Now, I Feel That I've Lived And See The Same Evolution In This Regard Around Disability.

When I'm Curious About Something, I Do It Full On And Take It As Far As I Go, But When I Feel Like I've Really Explored It, I'm Ok With Putting It Aside And Going On To Something Else.
