We’re an interabled, genderqueer duo navigating life with a focus on accessibility, smashing the gender binary, and both hands deep in hyperfixation hobbies. Between us, we’ve got enough special interests to fill a podcast episode… or a full week of intense Googling. Expect detours into random rabbit holes, moments of ‘wait, what were we talking about again?’, and the occasional battle with ableism and binary nonsense. Come for the advocacy, stay for the energy!

    6. Don’t binary my disability but also, infomercial

    This week we welcome Brittney Richardson (she/her) to our oi am queer team as our audio engineer and is helping us record and edit our episodes! We are so pleased to have her help and so excited to welcome Brittney to our team! To reach Brittney, please email her at brrproductionscctx@gmail.com. This week's episode is us briefly talking about Lex's experience with being told they are not disabled enough by folks who are disabled themselves or folks that are not disabled. Ignorant statements can come from all walks of life but its how we navigate them that really matters even when our own government tries to binary our disabilities, what do we do? We turn to infomercials. ------------------------- What is Oi am Queer?
