Document Summary

Fem 2111 class #9: tuesday, march 13, 2018. Thinking more: medical model: does not see disability to be a systemic issue but something that is personal the person is, social model: difference between disability, debility and impairment the problem. Impairment only becomes a disability due to the society around importance of listening to those who have disabilities: what is an ableist society, privilege the normate bodied mind at the expense of those who have disabilities. Gender, disability: disability can be seen as a coercive and non concentual medical treatment, people with disabilities are fetishized or eroticized, eli clare breaks down about the endless representation of sexual people. Cisnormative: cisnormativity: speaks to the creation of default norm, it is not the fear of trans people but can contribute or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, a literary work or section of work.
