Gorgeous Amputees

I'm Melissa. I'm 28, queer, and a congenital LAK amputee (and occasional wheelchair user) living in DC. I love sharing the beauty of differently-abled girls. We're all beautiful in our own ways, and this tumblr celebrates that. If you have anything you'd like to share, I'd love to hear from you.

“Access Sex”, photos of Kayla Harris by Sarah Murray (more at content source)

The project Access Sex is necessary to not only make people aware of the fact that people with disabilities are seen as asexual beings but to also highlight the origins of their thoughts on disabilities and sexuality. With a range of images the connection between disabilities and sexuality at times is merely a suggestion to ease people into something they may have never consciously thought about.
 
Ultimately the answer to the question is yes, I can have sex. Want to see some photos that might answer other questions? – Kyla Harris
