We need to thrust our individuality to the front lines. I guess people just don't expect the handicapped to go against the grain. But its idiotic people like these two women that make me want to go against the grain in the worst way. I don't want others to assume what my identity should be because of my disability. The assumption is widespread that the disabled largely do not go against the grain.
People expect the disabled to conform.
I am also not going to let it define me on its own. For instance, I will not change who I am because of my disability. My disability is not the soul reason I'm into body art. A freak is a freak is a freak. I would be even more heavily pierced and tattooed, but my disability prevents me from tattooing or piercing certain parts of my body.
