I can do this
Hi, everyone. It seems like it's well past my turn to do...something like this, and it's far easier for me to do it this way than in person with...anyone.
I'm Dr. Amanda Perry. I've spoken with some of you before. Back home, I was an aeronautical engineer.
Back home I was also a quadraplegic. I was in an accident when I was nine years old that left me paralyzed from my chin down. I relied on a caretaker to eat and tend to my personal hygiene. I almost died choking more times than I care to recall.Before I came here, I was killed.
Where I'm trying to go with this is...I've never really been intimate. I've been attracted to someone people, I'm fairly certain I'm heterosexual, and I've read plenty, but I've never had any real practical experience. Which sounds far more absurd, at my age, than it ever did before.
I'm not asking for anyone to 'volunteer', especially if it's going to be out of pity or sympathy. I just felt it might be easier, considering our purpose for being here and since everyone's pairing off so rapid-, to have it out in the open now, so it wouldn't be an awkward conversation with someone later. I never had to talk about it before.
If anyone has any respectful questions, I'll gladly answer.
