GimpGirl celebrates its 10th Anniversary!
Started in February 1998, the GimpGirl Community has been a long-time resource for women with disabilities. We are currently gearing up to re-launch our new website, which has been on a bit of a hiatus. We're also becoming active on Facebook, as well as MySpace and the virtual community of Second Life. (See our website for more details, including how to get to our Second Life Open House, happening TODAY at 4:00 PM SLT/Pacific)
Our awesome LiveJournal community has been our mainstay for a long time, and we'd like to hear your thoughts as we move into our next decade...
TOPIC OF THE MONTH: What does being a "gimp girl" (AKA woman with a disability) mean to you?
For as long as the GimpGirl Community has been around, and long before that, people with disabilities, and especially women, have thought, written and talked about their identities -- how having a disability and identifying as a woman shapes (or doesn't shape) their lives.
What does it mean to be a GimpGirl for you? GimpGirl is a phrase used by our community, and of course it's not one that everyone uses. If you prefer a different phrase, what is it, and why?
EDIT: Look under the cut to find out more about today's excellent GimpGirl open house event on Second Life!
