Description
Have you ever been bullied online because of how you look?  Cherie Louise lost her leg to cancer and experienced online trolling when she revealed on Twitter that she was an amputee. Cherie speaks to hosts Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin about what is was like to be told at 6 years old that she was going to lose her leg, her experiences online with people who fetishize because she is an amputee and what it's like to feel 'phantom pain' in a limb that's no longer there. A keen disability advocate, Cherie is putting her story out there to prevent it from happening to others.
