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.

Reviews for Notes From A Queer Cripple: How to Cultivate Queer Disabled Joy (and Be Hot While Doing It!)

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. -- Tiffany Yu, Founder of Diversability and Author of The Anti-Ableist Manifesto
