As someone who works with people with disabilities and has their own, I completely get that people who are under informed, condescending and/or ‘inspired’ are fairly common. Most of them are genuinely good people who can be educated and become less so. I cannot wrap my mind around wanting to go out with someone who is consistently ableist, paternalistic and patronising towards my disability. I don’t feel like he ever actually respects Isaac’s autonomy as an equal.

I also have nothing against sex positive people, having any number of sexual partners (high or low) is perfectly healthy and good. What I don’t love is the way it’s spoken about in this book - as though Mark’s bisexuality is inextricably linked to and *causing* his need to sleep with every person he sees.
