In this interview, we talk about: 

• What we mean when we are talking about queerness
• Elizabeth’s journey with her queerness
• Intersections of disability and queerness
• Body love for those of us with marginalised identities
• Body shame and systems of oppression
• What we can do today to incorporate a queer body love practice into our lives
