An honorable human relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word “love” — is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other. It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation. It is important to do this because in doing so we do justice to our own complexity. It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us.
It isn’t that to have an honorable relationship with you, I have to understand everything, or tell you everything at once, or that I can know, beforehand, everything I need to tell you. It means that most of the time I am eager, longing for the possibility of telling you. That these possibilities may seem frightening, but not destructive, to me. That I feel strong enough to hear your tentative and groping words. That we both know we are trying, all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us.
The possibility of life between us.

actually if you're attracted to me, you're also attracted to my mobility aids. you're attracted to my disability. these things are inseparable parts of me. my body is a disabled body and my mobility aids are an extension of me, like hair or limbs. you cannot be attracted to me in spite of my disabilities because my disabilities are a major part of myself, my appearance, etc. there is not a single part of me that isn't affected by my disabilities.
and all of that is okay. preferable, in fact. you should question why you think it's a bad thing to be attracted to disabled bodies, actually.
