Already Doing It: Intellectual Disability and Sexual Agency

Michael Gill

Explores the sexuality and reproduction rights of individuals with intellectual disabilities in the US –individuals with intellectual disabilities have been historically subjected to various efforts to restrict their sexual expression and reproductive capabilities including forced sterilization, invasive birth control methods, and sex segregated living arrangements–looks at legal cases, sex education material, journalistic accounts, and cultural representations since the 1970s to the present to determine to what extent past eugenic perceptions of sexuality influence contemporary management and governance of an individual’s sexual rights –advocates for the potentiality of individuals with intellectual disabilities to lead sexually fulfilling lives
