ABSTRACT
This chapter takes up Sara Ahmed’s formulation of the feminist killjoy and the female troublemaker who causes unhappiness or interrupts peace by only thinking about or voicing things that make them unhappy, but are not supposed to make them unhappy. The #MeToo movement has left less privileged and marginalised groups at the fringes of the movement, asking themselves if they belong in this revolution, and on what terms. This chapter sees the multiple and complex entanglements between gender and disabilities in those movements in the light of the author’s own experience, both personal and as a disability activist and scholar. The manifestations of violence are often different, as are the social contexts of the victim/perpetrator binary position.
