When Kelly Gordon first became sexually active, she was so terrified of men finding out she was disabled. 'I thought that disability was a bad thing and that no one is going to find me attractive if they know I’m a wheelchair user.'
Kelly, who has spinal muscular atrophy and has used a wheelchair since she was a teenager, lost her confidence at an early age after a boyfriend was bullied at school because of their relationship.
‘When I was younger, sex education in general was pretty pathetic,’ she tells Miranda. ‘There was no mention of disability and sex and that made me want to be the first one in my friend group to have sex – just to prove that I was “normal”. I felt like there was this point to prove that disabled people were attractive,’ she says.
‘Then it completely backfired and his friends were bullying him for having sexual activity with me,’ she remembers. ‘And I was like: “Wow, I did not expect this. This is really traumatic.” I don’t think we ever spoke again after that.’‘That was the moment in my head where I realised there was something wrong here,’ she explains. ‘I’m not what I think I am. I’m different.
