Much of the difficulty people face when #dating with a #disability is overcoming these #stereotypes. Some non-disabled people known as “devotees” have a specific #DisabilityFetish in which they #hypersexualize and #objectify #PeopleWithDisabilities, which can be frustrating and minimizing.
As if that isn’t enough to worry about, many multiply #marginalized #DisabledPeople experience additional #fetishization and harmful behaviors from their potential dates.

*I've had some horrific lived experiences with both folks who have #DisabilityFetish & folks who were only interested in me as a #DisabledWoman dating experiment - without telling me, I'm an experiment. Both types of these experiences harmed me & are abusive & exploitive.*
When we talk about #DisabledPeople having awesome sex lives, sometimes something #dehumanizing creeps into the mix: Some (usually nondisabled) people profess an "attraction to disability."
