Breaking the Glass Slipper guest

[mrissa]

Recently I was a guest on the Breaking the Glass Slipper podcast. BtGS is a feminist SFF podcast that wanted to do more episodes on intersectional issues, so we talked about disability representation in SFF. You can give it a listen here!

(I will confess that I am terrible at listening to podcasts myself, but it can be so much fun to be on them--one gets into good conversations. So we'll see if I can't get better at this.)

Really good discussion, I particularly liked the point raised about characters where disability is used effectively to punish them for becoming evil. It's an even more disturbing variation on the usual lazy trope of disability drives people evil.

Thanks so much!
