Disabled survivors who are other than cis women—who are men, trans, non-binary, intersex, or Two-Spirit—are never included in these discussions. There’s rarely any discussion of the sexual, physical, and emotional abuse that is ableism—from medical stripping in hospitals to medical experimentation to the genital mutilation of intersex people; from forced treatment, restraints, and chemical or psychiatric surgery to forced sterilization, or to simply never being asked before being touched by a medical provider.
