Did I think of myself as gay and disabled 10 years ago?

The census causes Kate and Holly to consider their identities

Kate Monahan has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and her wife Holly is a transplant recipient. Filling out the Census form should take 10 minutes they say but it prompted a big debate for this couple.

Kate also provides some hot advice for teenage girls who have the same condition as her or who live with pain.

If you have any questions you'd like to put to Kate or Holly please email the producer amy.elizabeth@bbc.co.uk

Maybe you want to know more about adopting a disabled child? Or perhaps you have advice to pass on about how to entertain children that requires minimal physical energy from parents (yes please) or on navigating lockdown life. Drop us a mail.

Produced by Amy Elizabeth.
