we remember this article from a few years ago, it's a good one!
we were going to share something from our perspective as plural wheelchair users, here. but we realised we'd be opening ourselves up to being called something triggering (for us) that the plural community treats as the default term for plurality these days, and became too stressed by whether to include a disclaimer about not calling us that, how to explain, and whether people might get upset at our discomfort with such a popular term.
if you'd still like to hear about our experience of being both plural and cyborg, may we DM you about both that and what not to call us? we can't promise we'll be comfortable allowing our story to be shared anywhere, but we'd be happy to discuss the idea if you wanted.
