Intersecting Identities

Even though we may share having a disability in common, it's the intersections of our identities that can also inform how we experience disability, the obstacles we face and how we see ourselves and our identity. In this episode, Soph and Tam share some of their intersecting identities and how their parents shaped their experiences of disability.

Professionalism

In episode 9, Soph and Tam explore how professionalism is usually just disguised ableism. What even is professionalism? The obligations on us to be "professional" and how this impacts our ability to work and get hired. But not just at work, in school, in dating and in life in general, we have the obligations of professionalism placed on us. We're held to standards we can't meet and judged harshly for not meeting them. But how does our need for regular breaks or non-standard working hours and conditions impact our ability to perform in life? Spoiler alert: it doesn't!

The Invisibility of Disabilities

In this episode, Soph and Tam explore how those living with disabilities and our experiences are still very much invisible. They look at medical gaslighting, gaslighting generally and the way people without disabilities can be dismissive of our experiences. Soph and Tam also look at how disability is often viewed as something that only happens to "old people". Do you have a question/experience to share with Soph and Tam?
