N.S. athlete with partial limbs inspires in video: 'There are things I can do'

The Canadian Press
Published March 28, 2016 - 6:10pm
Last Updated March 28, 2016 - 7:14pm

HALIFAX — A rugby player without full limbs has become an inspiration to others across the country, after a viral video depicting her doing crossfit workouts with multiple pullups and lunging across a gym floor with a 16-kilogram weight.
Lindsay Hilton allowed the CrossFit OnSide gym in Halifax to put the video on Facebook on March 9, and within a few hours it had six million viewers.
The video shows the 30-year-old rugby player and coach striding across the gym with a bar on her shoulders, throwing her body to the ground for a series of burpees, and using homemade prosthetics with hooks to pound out a series of pullups.
Hilton was born with one arm ending before the elbow and the other just after the elbow, and with both legs ending before the knees.
Her video was shot originally as a way to critique her crossfit techniques, but Hilton has been surprised by how it is inspiring amputees and people who use prosthetics to head to local gymnasiums worldwide.
"The best reaction I've gotten is that a few people I know that are missing limbs have contacted me and said, 'This is really neat that you can do this, can you give me some more information?'" the 30-year-old said during a telephone interview.
"I like the fact that it's out there so that other people who don't think they can do exercise can see that they can."
Blaike Holding, a 27-year-old office administrator from Abbotsford, B.C., whose limbs were amputated at the age of five, says the video has motivated her to head to a local fitness centre.
"I've always avoided going to the gym because ... I've never had anyone else know how to help me out. So I've avoided it."
"Seeing her do the crossfit and some of her yoga videos have made me realize there are things I can do."
Holding said strengthening exercises can be particularly helpful to amputees, as they have to use far more energy than a person with full limbs to walk or run.
She also said improving muscle tone and keeping weight under control helps with overall health and mobility, and can avoid having to acquire new prosthetics due to weight gain.
However, she will need to adapt the workout to her own body and limbs.
"I know my boundaries and limits. ... Some younger amputees should get checked (by a doctor) a bit first," she said.
Karen Valley, the director of the national amputee centre with the War Amps, a Canadian organization that supports people with missing limbs, said in a telephone interview that there are about 23,000 people who are missing limbs or parts of limbs registered with her group.
She said the video is relevant to any Canadian looking to push their fitness boundaries, but amputees may be particularly inspired.
Valley, an amputee herself, said she's also going to head to a gym with the video reference in hand.
She also said she hopes that amputees don't directly compare their fitness levels with the video, or set unrealistic expectations for their own athletic performance.
"It definitely could be a concern for someone who might look at it and finds it depressing or (feel) I'll never be able to do that," she said.
"But she (Hilton) really portrays that positive attitude and encourages others to be positive."
Jenny Jeffery, the co-owner of CrossFit OnSide, said Hilton gained her first month's membership in September at the gym through a burpee contest after a rugby game.
"Every since then it's been trial and error. ... She went to Canadian Tire and got some chains and then some velcro straps and said, 'Why don't we try this?'" said the trainer.
She said she and Hilton worked together to adapt prosthetics to allow the athlete to do pullups, rowing and other exercises.
Hilton says she sees the video as just a natural extension of living her life fully, an attitude her parents and friends have encouraged throughout her childhood.
"I was born missing my limbs ... and I never really thought that was holding me back," she said.

Seeing the ability in disability: Magnet removing employment barriers

March 15, 2016 11:35 pm·Views: 93

Job-searching is a difficult task, but for those living with a disability, it can be nearly impossible.
A Ryerson startup is trying to change that by matching people with disabilities with interested employers.
Magnet, which started out of Ryerson’s Digital Media Zone (DMZ), has launched the Disability Discovery Project (DDP), a program that aims to remove employment barriers for those with disabilities and bring more people with disabilities into the workforce.
Fifty three per cent of Canadians with disabilities are unemployed.
Tim Rose, Magnet’s diversity project lead, used to be part of that statistic.
Despite his master’s in human rights law, he was unemployed for over four years. Rose said he wants the DDP to be the help he wishes he had.
“I went through self-doubt, I went through the struggle. I went through all of that pain, and so when I came on the team here, my goal (was) to really make Magnet the system that offers part of the solution,” Rose said.
When a job-seeker creates their Magnet profile, they can select the Diversity Self-ID feature. This allows them to disclose if they have a disability — though no other details are disclosed for privacy reasons.
Rose said the project will also be useful in collecting employment data about those with disabilities, including how many are finding employment and the types of jobs they are applying for.
“There’s discrimination, there’s stigma, there’s fear, there’s all these things,” Rose said. “What we’re trying to do at Magnet is just change a little bit of that and bring awareness and shine a much needed light on disability employment for the larger community.”
Magnet currently has more than 70,000 job-seekers and 6,000 employers in its growing database.

Synopsis:

Author: Ryerson University - Contact: ryerson.ca
2016-03-11 - Disability Discovery Project and Magnet online employment matching platform connects people with disabilities to employers.

Main Document

National not-for-profit, job-creation campaign connects people with disabilities to employers committed to diversity - People with disabilities urged to register with Magnet, a powerful online job-matching platform.

"Our goal is to prove once and for all that people with disabilities are a rich source of talent that employers cannot afford to ignore."

Canadians with disabilities in search of good jobs that match their skills and aspirations are being urged to register with Magnet, a powerful job-matching network using next-wave technology.
Called the Disability Discovery Project, this diversity recruitment drive is aimed at removing barriers to employment for people with disabilities and connecting interested employers to a truly diverse talent pool.
Magnet's data-rich network, led by Ryerson University and supported by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce radically alters how people with disabilities find meaningful employment and how organizations source talent from this largely untapped labour force.
Creating a profile is fast and intuitive. The system even provides a unique "self-ID" feature that provides job seekers with a positive way to privately and securely identify their disability as a strength. Once registered, candidates are matched to employers committed to hiring people with disabilities based upon their skills, preferences and talent requirements.
The need is great. More than half (53 per cent) of all Canadians with disabilities are unemployed and the average income for people with disabilities is $10,000 lower than the general population. (Source: Canadian Survey on Disability, 2012)
"We are building a movement to address chronic unemployment and underemployment among Canadians with disabilities," says Tim Rose, Diversity Project Lead, Magnet. "Our goal is to prove once and for all that people with disabilities are a rich source of talent that employers cannot afford to ignore. If you are a person with a disability seeking employment, join us and let Magnet draw out your potential."
More than 70,000 job seekers and 6,000 employers have registered on Magnet's ground breaking platform. Membership also includes more than 25 universities and colleges, along with an array of community-based employment stakeholders and industry organizations.
"Magnet is all about breaking down barriers to meaningful employment", says Mark Patterson, Executive Director, Magnet. "Every person with a disability, particularly those who have been left behind by the system, is welcome to plug themselves into the Magnet advantage and get connected to a better future."
The National Educational Association of Disabled Students (NEADS) is supportive of the Diversity Discovery Project. "We support this proactive recruitment drive to help persons with disabilities with post-secondary education launch their careers with companies that they want to work for," said Emily Duffett, Chair, NEADS."

Why Sex With Someone With a Disability Is the Best Sex You Could Be Having!

 As a queer person with a disability who is not shy about his sexuality, I find that some of the most common questions that I get are, "Can you have sex?" "Do you have sex?" and "How do you have sex?" These questions arise from many different places, but predominantly from the fact that our dominant sexual discourse has left disability out in the cold. I could launch into a discussion of all the internal emotions/frustrations that this has created for me personally, as I believe that those are valid and in need of unpacking. That being said, I'd like to focus on the positives of sex with people with disabilities and why it may be the best sex you've ever had, or haven't had -- yet.

1. It Forces You and Your Partner to Actually Talk

There is a misconception in our society that good sex is spontaneous, hot, and surprisingly silent. In my experience this is particularly prevalent in queer hookup culture. Each partner is simply supposed to read the other in that exact moment, and from this create this sexual fantasy. That all sounds amazing, but we all know that that is not true life or reality. This is especially true when engaging in sexual congress (OK, I just really like this term!) with a person with a disability. One of the reasons that sex with people with disabilities can be so much better is that in order to have it, you have to communicate, and I don't just mean, "Harder! Faster! Ooh, baby!" (although if that helps, by all means, be my guest). I mean you will have to "storyboard your sex," as I like to say. You can sit with your prospective partner and lay out exactly what will work for both of you. You can discuss what gets you off, what might hurt, and what might feel funny or amazing. You can openly talk about what you're apprehensive about and what you might want to try. This way, you're not unhappily surprised. You may even be surprised by how open you are. It kind of makes one rethink the old adage "Less talk, more action," right?

2. 'Blow... in My Ear...'

One thing that I love about how people with disabilities have sex is the fact that we have adapted our erogenous zones to respond to different stimuli. For instance, someone with paralysis might love it when you tweak their nipples or blow in their ears. That might be more pleasurable to them than a blowjob or fucking. People with disabilities are some of the most adaptable people, and you'd be amazed by what we can offer in the bedroom. Imagine for a second that your partner has a disability and can only use his mouth for everything. See what I'm saying? Hot, right? Persons with disabilities are experts at using what they have around them, and the same certainly holds true for our sex lives. I know how to hit your marks, probably ones you didn't even know you had. Rawr!

3. Top/Bottom Roles Dissolved

It would seem that as a gay man, I must be defined by one of three words: "top," "bottom," or "versatile." These roles help other gay men decide if they are sexually compatible. For me (and for many others too), these roles are completely arbitrary and inaccessible. If I can't "top" you, then I have to be your "bottom," but if we are both "tops," one of us has to be "versatile" and into both? What? Consider that it may be physically impossible for me to top you, or vice versa, but I can still take charge. I can guide your body with my hands and tell you what gets me off in that moment, and you can do the same -- no penetration required. One of the greatest pleasures for me is hearing a guy say, "I have never gotten off like that before, but it was incredible." Want my number yet?

4. Foreplay

Given my level of disability, I'll need help with a few things, particularly undressing, getting out of my chair and positioning, etc. So few people see this as sexually appealing, but if done correctly, this can be so hot. In that moment you can feel each others bodies and put on a little show. Also, I think humor in these instances can be really helpful. I find that when I make my partner laugh about the fact that he's carrying me over the threshold, as it were, that puts him at ease. Sometimes there may even be a sling involved! So come on over and take off my pants. No, really! Ha!

5. Redefining Sexual Norms

My favorite thing about having sex as a person with a disability is knowing that each and every time I do it with someone, I am redefining their sexual norms and altering their ideology about what is sexually appealing. I am turning them on in ways that they didn't even know were possible, through my words, my thoughts, and my body that defies everything they thought they knew. It forces partners (in whatever context) to be genuine and move away from all the scenarios that they think are sexy, and it create that sexiness within that moment, no matter how vulnerable, different or awkward it is.
