Yes -- in looking for housemates for next year, I have been defaulting to "at least one of trans and crippy", because that means we're fairly likely to have common values/experience in areas that are really important to making shared housing safe for me (where I can't sensibly live alone, because I am much better at taking care of other people than of myself). I would really love to have the energy/etc to do more in-depth conversations with people, rather than using those shared characteristics as a crude screening tool; thank you for prompting me to think about how very narrow an experience of both - and how academic an experience of both - I'm looking for. [please do feel free to ask me for more on this!]
