Queer Alchemy
Perverting the Health System, Fighting to Win
From: The Care We Dream Of
$2.10
The author describes queer activism and asks if a system is wrong, is it wrong to pervert it? She pledges to leave no one behind and explores what that means for disability justice, with personal and political examples. She also suggests that our health care system excludes many queer and trans people from receiving care, which can have fatal consequences.
