Anonymous asked: what do you think of the whole devotee thing?
I think it is just another expression of human diversity in sexuality. It’s not something to be ashamed of but rather embraced. Though I can see how some crippies might find it hard to accept, in my opinion, that is an emotional problem on the part of the crippie. Why should it be a problem for someone to find me attractive for being myself? Personally I’d rather have someone enjoy the way I look than over look it. That seems a bit patronizing to be honest, to love in spite of a disability implies we’re not truly acceptable to be loved.
Now to be objectified because of our disability in a sexual way is wrong. But that’s wrong no matter who or what group is having that done to them. It’s not so much being attracted to people with certain disabilities that is the problem, the problems arise in being objectified by someone who is attracted to certain disabilities. I think that might happen less if devotees could be more open about what they find attractive. Sometimes when the social norm says you’re a deviant you tend to hold it in and only express it in very self gratifying ways away from societies eyes.
In short, I hope devotees find someone they’re attracted too, and if that person can come to grips with the fact that they are attractive and its ok, there can be a whole lot of sweet sweet lovin’ to be had. And we all need some sweet sweet lovin’.
