I work the way I do because of my body, I vote the way I do because of my body and I live the way I do because of my body. It is not my body that is at fault, but society's failure to deal with bodies like mine. I might be in pain, but I am whole. I refuse to have the difficult parts cropped out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eKylie Maslen has been living with invisible illness for twenty years-more than half her life.
