Elliot lives in Kristianstad here in Sweden and works with talking about what it’s like to live with a norm-breaking function. In the spare time, Elliot also works voluntarily for an organisation called “Lesbian Makt” (Lesbian Power) that arranges lesbian breakfast.
∞ – Do people treat you differently because of your norm-breaking function? I have experienced that it’s easier in the LGBTQ-world to have a norm-breaking function than to be non-binary in the disabled world. No one knows what it is. There’s more focus on the practical and the struggle to be human over all. I feel like there’s more understanding in the LGBTQ-world than in the disabled-world when it comes to other forms of norm-breaking people. – Is there a lot of transphobia and notions about disabled people? Yes. I spoke to a class about my function and the teacher asked me if I had a boyfriend and if I’ve ever been in love. “Yes” was my answer to the second question and when he responded “Oh, so you have the same feelings as us!” I felt the level was very low and didn’t bother explaining about my identity or sexuality. – So you choose your battles then? I do. Though I don’t take every single battle, because then that would become my full-time job. It’s easier to just let it pass. But that doesn’t mean that my non-binary identity is more or less important. I’m always non-binary, my gender identity isn’t always the same, it’s kind of fluid. Therefore it’s also difficult to be consistent with words like pronouns etc. In some ways I’m privileged to be able to feel that I’m non-binary regardless of the words used about me. It’s definitely not easy and it doesn’t always feel good.

– What was it like when you could tell people that you’re also non-binary? I have mostly told people that I think would understand. Those who are familiar with it already. Sure, I’m open about it on social media and those who don’t understand just don’t comment anything. I’m open but the same time I’m not. My friends understood it earlier and for them it was obvious. For other people it’s a bit hard and it usually becomes a big deal. It’s not only words I need to explain, they wonder much more than that. – Do you feel included as a disabled and non-binary person in the LGBTQ context? No, there are many things that need to become better. I always have to check the accessibility wherever I’m going. No matter what context or who it is for, I always have to check or compromise. – Do you think people with disabilities are scared of coming out as a LGBTQ- person because of the notions? I think it may be harder because they already have much against them. In other hand, I’ve been exposed to notions since I was little, so I’ve grown accustomed to resist and respond. In some ways I have it easier since I’m used to having to do it, but it’s twice as much to manage so it gets hard. You’re often imprinted in who you are due to your function and it’s not always an advantage. You can’t always discover things for yourself, because people have such strong perceptions about you.
INTERVIEW
“No matter what context, I always have to compromise” – Finally, what would a perfect society look like to you? Accessible, because I’m in an electric wheelchair so I would be able to access things in a greater extent. If I can’t go to all the places I want because of it, then it’s difficult to break the norms. If I haven’t got access to the room, I have no chance to influence. I also believe the world would be a much better place if everything weren’t so gendered. Simple things to avoid would be, for example, not saying things like “Hey girls!” and talk about people as individuals instead. Clothes don’t need to be divided by gender in stores. Things like that. It’s difficult, but there’s a lot that needs to be done! •
