Dear singles with disabilities (two objectifying categories that I despise),
- Are you being turned into a disability instead of being seen as person?
- Are people not looking at or caring who you are?
- Are people categorizing you, thinking they know things about you, lumping you in a box that isn't you
- Has your medical issues/disability become your master identity?
-
Are you scared about getting into a relationship – scared of people
rejecting you because of your supposedly different body or mind?
I
know most people will not want to respond to this email for fear of
boxing themselves into the very narrow confines of being a person with a
disability. I know many will be scared of yet another experience of
being offered "help" or "support" for their "poor misfortune". That's
not what this is.
My idea: social change. Let us be active. Lets find a way together
to change the ways in which medical issues and disabilities are
perceived in the Jewish communities. Let's collaborate. Let's be
creative. Let's think about ways to move out of these boxes.
If you are interested...
And are a single person with a medical issue or disability
Or are a married person whose been through this and knows what its all about….
And are interested in regaining your power.
