Summary

Sexual Health Week may be over, but we’re continuing to chat about all things sex & disability on Doing It! This week, Hannah’s joined by disability consultant Andrew Gurza, who shares his experience of being disabled & queer, and particularly how those two identities interrelate. They also talk about how disabled people are fetishized, why sex workers are seen as ‘noble’ for being with disabled people, and the importance of including disability in sex education. Finally, they ask: why aren’t disabled people allowed to just feel mad sometimes?
