“Thought together, queer theory, disability, and Deleuze mobilise a productive positivity that overcomes normative binaries, breaks with stable identity, and celebrates the erotics of connection” (Shildrick, 2009, 54)

Interviewer: So I see you’re disabled: what would you actually do here?
Freyja: I’d do what the job specification requires of me: I’d look after the children.
Interviewer: But how?
Freyja: My assistants do the physical stuff I can’t, while I did the more emotional side of it. To kids, it just isn’t a problem.
