Notes from a Queer Cripple: How to Cultivate Queer Disabled Joy (and Be Hot While Doing It!)

How can I enjoy my hot disabled body whilst dealing with internalised ableism?

How can I best navigate my sex life with mobility issues or a carer?

Why are queer spaces so inaccessible - and what can I do about it?

Andrew Gurza is seriously hot. He’s also seriously disabled. Having spent a lifetime navigating the bars, clubs and apps of the queer scene, he’s learned a thing or two about sparking queer crip joy amidst the hellscape of ableism, microaggressions and ’pity sex’.

With advice on everything from sexual autonomy and self-pleasure to date-prep and disability disclosure - this is both a self-care bible and an urgent call for the queer community to do better.

Andrew Gurza is a queer, complexly disabled, nonbinary person who used a wheelchair and lives in Toronto, Ontario.

They created the viral hashtag #DisabledPeopleAreHot, as well as hosting the first every disabled queer sex party. They are the host of Disability After Dark, a multiple-award-winning podcast.
