*not* having a separate safe space is such an isolating and disempowering
experience. let's not make this generation of disabled kids go through it
if we don't have to, both for the individuals' sake and for the sake of
the disability rights movement.
i also like the idea of separate safe spaces for disabled aging women,
disabled geezers, etc.!
