Notes From A Queer Cripple
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.
A much-needed guide for anyone navigating the intersections of disability, queerness, and sexual autonomy. In these pages, Gurza shows us that queer disabled joy is not only possible, but essential. This book empowers all of us to rethink how we approach sexuality, intimacy, and belonging in our queer spaces-and challenges us to do better for everyone.
Andrew Gurza is a queer, complexly disabled, nonbinary person who used a wheelchair and lives in Toronto, Ontario. They have written for Out.com, The Advocate, and Mashable in the role of Disability Awareness Consultant. 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.
