Frozen Is Crip Culture...

 

The Frozen Musical Is Crip Culture

I know that people may fight me on this, because Elsa is lovely and magical and can actually make stuff happen, which can be things that abled people do not associate with disability. And I I could Let It Gobut, yeah, that’ll happen.  (Even knowing there’s a certain inevitability to writing this, doesn’t mean that I didn’t have a thought to share.  Also, this is a really good time to imagine being cold-record heat and stuff) But think about it: Elsa and Anna start growing up together, but end up with really separate lives for reasons their parents mystify and the girls themselves didn’t really understand.

Elsa feels pressure to hide her true nature. (Does your Bohemian Crip identify, here? Sometimes, although her condition doesn’t allow for real masking.  But it’s hard to be honest about your life when it makes people always express sympathy in ways that make you realize they don’t even understand why you might need some.)

I’m sure there are other groups where it’s “dangerous to dream”, but it’s written into the disability system, hard-core.

Love the non-traditional casting that might turn MAGA as white as their sheets.
