New YouTube Project - Queer & Disabled (self.Blind)
submitted by daqueer
Hi!
​
I've been working on a new collaborative YouTube project called "Queer and Disabled" and our first videos are beginning to appear this month but we are also looking to see if anyone else would like to participate. See, my goal for this project is to bring visibility and lift up the queer community discussing non cis gender identity and disability. Now, before you think, "I'm not disabled," understand that part of the discussion is validating visible and invisible disabilities regardless of whether we consider ourselves disabled. The project is geared for anyone 18+ who does not identify as cis, for example, transgender men & transgender women, intersex, gender fluid, gender queer, androgyne, bigender, agender and non binary (not a complete list, brain fog is real, lol)...you get the idea, who also have experience with mental, learning, hearing, visual, intellectual, &/or physical disabilities as well as chronic illnesses, whether visible or invisible.
​
Below is our video introducing the project (it's our first so please be kind, lol).
​
If you have any questions or you are interested in participating, please email the project at $1
​
"$1"
(Close captioning is included, I edit it myself, but if there is anything else we can do to assist making the project accessible we'd love to know about it. I only know my experiences with my disabilities)
Thanks
Derek

I'm a cis gay blind man so I would not qualify. Great project though!

Yeah I wanted this to be about gender identities and disability but you're welcome to support us ;).

Woo hey this sounds right up my alley, being a trans woman myself. I'll give it a think.

Sounds awesome! Just let me know, best way is the email (cause i can't forgot about that, my computer & phone won't let me). We had a trans woman who ended up having to bow out cause she had really low limits on her monthly internet amounts, so we'd love to have you!

I am potentially very interested in this project. Visually impaired mostly cis, sort of genderfluid/still very much figuring out my exact label. Poly and kinkpositive if that is relevant.

That's ok! I need to rephrase that because I didn't know it understand until this weekend there's such a thing as nonbinary cis and they should be included. So non cis isn't the best way to word that :/
