As a sexual assault counselor for many years, I can tell you there are many
ways to commit sex offenses w/o using the genitals. I do not believe that
failure to prosecute criminal PWD's helps the image of the rest of PWD's.

Well Renee, I'll give you another one. Someone told me a long time ago to be
wary of disabled men because they were sometimes oversexed. Now that I am
disabled, even though I'm a woman, I sometimes wonder if people think that
about me.
