Relationships are all about power and learning to balance that power. A healthy relationship is like a seesaw. While you both have turns of having more power in the relationship, you still balance each other out. In unhealthy relationships one of you is always the “heavier” one on the seesaw.

I was at the Qld Health Women and Girls’ Health Showcase with some wonderful speakers showing us what’s up and coming in the health space for women and girls. One of the talks in particular peaked my attention. It was about sexuality and disability and there was a comment made that some people cannot consent. I wanted to write about this comment because I think it is so important to address consent and disability.
