Let's talk about why "your sex scene is a buzz kill because the characters discuss pain and disability accommodations" is ableist – and how this relates to books with characters who have certain disabilities often being relegated to an 'issue book' category by default. Overdue 🧵 A few disclaimers:
1) When I discuss pain here I'm not talking about BDSM or pleasure-pain. I'm talking about chronic pain and physical flares brought on by disability or chronic illness, and how activities like sex can aggravate it.

♿ Starting an ongoing thread for books I enjoy that include disability rep. I try to read #CripLit rep specifically by disabled authors. That info isn't always available though. But know that many of us are looking for it. Will update as able. QTing an old list to start. ♿

I'll try to include the rep as well for people who are interested. There are so many types of disabilities! If I miss something in a book, I apologize, sometimes I can't remember everything thanks to my spinal-fluid-squeezed brain. If you know of more good rep, feel free to add!
