Our understanding of gender is shifting. However, gender diversity is not a modern invention. Seeing gender on a spectrum has existed for centuries in many cultures.

If people with disabilities are without adequate sex education, we leave them more at risk of sexual exploitation, even more so if they are used to non-consensual physical touch as a child.

Contrary to popular belief, people with disabilities are sexual beings. Unfortunately, the sexuality of persons with a disability can be oppressed by their supports, medical professionals and society at large.
