But Harris also thinks it’s important to bring “light and levity” to the situations disabled people go through and she strives to do this in her show.
“There have been so many awful situations that I’ve been in that you can’t help but laugh,” she continues.
The series also delves into what it means for others to profit from disabled identity.
For example, Freya’s wedding planning is turned into a problematic and cringeworthy social media campaign by her agents, the Olivias, played by Emma Sidi and Hanako Footman.
They shorten phrases like “inclusive representation” to “inclush-representash” and urge her to adopt the hashtag “wheely in love” to help it go viral.
The writer says it was “hilarious” to see the Olivias so unaware of how wrong their approach is, but also adds that “people make mistakes and that’s okay”.
Ultimately, Harris hopes people learn from the show. “I see disability as my biggest teacher and being disabled has taught me that irrespective of what people think and what I encounter, I am worthy of getting married.
“I am worthy of loving. I am worthy to be loved,” she says. “And I want people to feel that about themselves.”
