Abstract:This article explores the intersections and fractures that disability theory and activism present to queer community. The authors begin by drawing upon a multiple axis approach from feminist theory, then discuss the problem of defining ldquodisabilityrdquo and ldquoqueer.rdquo They then explore the intersections and fractures of these identities and theories, hoping to raise awareness among queer activists and scholars and introduce them to conceptual and practical tools. In particular, disability studies offers a way to reconceptualize and ground theory and practice in the ldquomessinessrdquo of real bodies and to make visible the mythic ldquonormaterdquo against which cultural Others are defined.
Keywords:disability  passing  queer  feminist theory
