The mannerisms that help define gender - the way in which people walk,swing their hips, gesture with their hands, move their mouths and eyes when they talk, take up space - are all based upon how non disabled people move…The construct of gender depends not only upon the male body and female body, but also on the non disabled body.
Eli Clare, Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation (via feministquotes)

This was a great read in one of my women’s studies courses.
