If not a fist, then what about a stump? : ableism and heteronormativity within Australia's porn regulations

In this article, I am motivated by a question: is stumping, or stump-fucking, permitted in Australian porn? Stumping refers to the insertion of a person's leg or arm stump into another person's rectum or vagina. It is a question that has not been answered due to a variety of reasons, yet it is an important question because it reveals a lot about the ways in which crip (and queer) bodies are constituted and regulated in historical and contemporary social contexts. In tackling this question, I interrogate Australia's vague classification laws, the prohibition of related activities (fisting, most notably), and the ubiquity of ableism and heteronormativity in society. I engage in a series of questions, speculations, and arguments that are based on a complex assemblage of practices, bodies, and relations, and in so doing I seek to disrupt the normative circumstances that abject the practices of stumping (and fisting) and foreclose (new) forms of pleasures, cultures, and ethics.
