Viva La Difference!
If only she were normal?
Great author, very normal article.
Someone with unique perspective and sensitivity looking at our community and its potential from beyond the standard points of view. And what is focused on is who she wasn't, and what she should have been.
Celebrate the diverse perspective but tsk at the eccentric life behind it. Much like people who pitied Spike Milligan for his depression. So often these brilliant refractions come from people who feel life intensely. Surely its about time we started to acknowledge that bipolar people and people with many kinds of non standard perspectives have something unusual to offer as a natural product of not being normal.
Perhaps then JTJr is the appropriate response to our social malaise of needing to unpack divergence and point at the box it should really fit into if it knew its place..
