A few weeks ago I received an email question from an About.com reader. Like many of the questions I get the email was long and in it the 26-year old female writer shared a lot about her life. One of the frustrating parts of sharing these emails publicly on About.com is that I have to edit them down to ensure anonymity and it can feel like I'm turning every writer into a kind of token representative.
I'm particularly aware of this when the person writing in is someone who already gets tokenized a lot. The subject of sex and disability is still one that is considered strange or unique, and folks with disabilities who are out about their sexuality are often tokenized, considered somehow representatives of all disabled people or all people with their particular disability.
But the alternative, not to share their questions and my answers, seems worse. So I hope as you read this week's sex question and answer, which is about how to see yourself as sexy when you can't visually "see" yourself at all, you'll think not only about what's on the screen, but everything that isn't.
