This book also helped me see how much internalized ableism I deal with. I constantly apologize for my existence and struggle with my identities. It does focus a lot on visible disabilities, but there are footnotes in the newer edition that mention this.
I really appreciated the last essay in the book that touches on many things but in particular- the intersections of being disabled, queer, trans, butch, sensitive, introspective, radical, working class, and a major sexual trauma survivor. I have honestly never met or read anyone that touched on all of these parts of themself (and of me) at the same time. That essay, also beautifully written, is something I've needed and searched for for many years.
This book validated and mentored me on many things I really needed someone to teach me. I'm a city and suburb kid, so it also taught me quite a bit about bias against rural communities and intersections with environmental and other movements.
This book holds so much for how very short it is. Definitely recommended.
