Atypical Dikkatein – a conversation podcast where I, your host Soumya, talk to fellow queer, neurodivergent and disabled folx. This podcast is not just a repository of stories and experiences but also a journey to build solidarity, queer intimacy and a community. Hopefully, by embarking on this journey, we will be able to find a sense of belongingness and a space—where queer and disabled folx can share our unique joys as well as challenges and feel less alone in a world where we face constant invisibilisation. This is a way of taking up space, according to our own terms.
Disabled people are not denied choice only by law, but by stigma, surveillance, exhaustion, and inaccessible systems.
In the final episode of Atypical Dikkatein Season 2, we speak with Amna Nasir (https://www.linkedin.com/in/amna-nasir-1066b990/) about disability, desire, reproductive justice, chronic illness, mental health, and the politics of care.
This conversation challenges the idea that disability is fixed, visible, or singular. It asks us to rethink what bodily autonomy actually means when systems are built around “ideal” bodies and “ideal” timelines.

Bodies, Barriers, and the Pacific
When the nearest clinic is far away, inaccessible, and unaffordable, SRHR becomes a privilege, not a right.
In this episode of Atypical Dikkatein, Savina Nongebatu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/savina-nongebatu-2a705a72) brings us into the realities of disability and SRHR in the Pacific, where distance, transport costs, rural isolation, and weak infrastructure shape who can access care and who cannot.
For many women and girls with disabilities in Solomon Islands and across the Pacific, basic health services are already hard to reach. SRHR services are even further out of reach.

Touch. Learn. Navigate.
How do you learn about your body when no one shows you how?
In Episode 8 of Atypical Dikkatein Season 2, we speak with Tiffany Brar (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanybrar/), blind activist, educator, and founder of Jyothirgamaya Mobile Blind School, about navigating menstruation, contraception, and SRHR as a visually impaired person.
Because access isn’t just about information. It’s about how that information is shared.
