Tune in as Andrew shares: how they were diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP) at the age of one and a half their more recent diagnosis of IBS, and how it has presented its own challenges how COVID has affected their sex life, and why they hire sex workers where they can see room for disability discourse to grow how they emotionally process ableism from day-to-day the nuances of caregiving, and how bad management can lead to dehumanizing experiences for patients how care management can be improved from the top-down how they have cultivated their mindset — and how their #1 advocate, their mom, was key in encouraging them to develop a thick skin and a sense of humor a nuanced conversation about accessibility — and why it's more difficult for disabled creators to create accessible content, even if we'd like to how we can work to get out of the public health crisis of bias in healthcare: by hiring those of us who are historically excluded to positions of power, to reshape the system from the top-down why and how they were inspired to create Bump'n — the world's first disability-driven sex toy
Enfin un autre épisode Sexualité et Handicap sur TalQ. Plus précisément sur la startup Bump'n anciennement appelée Handi qui a développer le Joystick : Le premier jouet sexuel accessible créé pour les personnes ayant des limitations de leurs mains, qu'il s'agisse d'un handicap, d'une blessure, du vieillissement, de l'arthrite ou de toute autre personne ayant besoin d'aide. Conçu par : Des experts en santé sexuelle Des ergothérapeutes Une communauté des personnes handicapées Le tout à l'initiative d'Andrew Gurza et Heather Morrisson, qui sont frère et soeur, lui au Canada à Toronto, elle en Australie à Sydney. Deux parties du monde, deux décalages horaires bien différents. Et donc deux épisodes parce que je n'ai pas su tout découper, leur version de l'histoire et leurs différents rôles sont trop important pour être coupé au montage ! Il y aura donc deux épisode sur Bump'n : un avec Andrew: qui se définit comme un militant queer cripple ou Chief Disability Officer, qui s'occupe surtout du désign et développement produit et du contenu. Et un avec Heather CEO de la boite et plus dans les chiffres, le marketing et les levées de fond. Leur deux témoignganges sont complémentaires. On commence par le Andrew, dont l'histoire personnelle à permi de faire naitre Bump'n Pour les personnes non anglophone et qui auraient surtout du mal avec mon super anglais, je vous invite à aller écouter/voir l'épisode sur Youtube où vous devr iez trouver des sous titre en français automatique dans un premier et corrigé très bientôt, ainsi qu'un lien vers une retranscription en français. J'espère que ça vous plaira ! Bonne écoute !

This episode is a really fun, simple episode where I tell you all about some great sex I had recently. I wanted to share because we so rarely hear disabled people telling great sex stories. So often our sexual encounters as disabled people are bogged down with ableism, and I wanted to share a moment that was just some really good sex for this queer cripple. Enjoy!

In this episode, I wanted to share part of my coming out story with you! I thought that rather than simply giving you my views on the experience, that I'd interview my Mom, and learn from her what my coming out as queer and disabled meant for her. We talk about her experiences having a disabled son, her understanding of disability, my coming out and so much more.
In this episode, I talk about my experience on a Canadian TV show called 1Girl5Gays on MTV Canada and Logo from 2013-14 in the shows 5th season. I was the only visibly disabled person on that program, and I talk about what that meant for me and disabled representation on Queer TV.Here's a link to hilarious photos of me on the show and my show bio
This was a tough episode to record. In light of all the sexual assault stories coming out, I felt it was necessary to talk about how disabled people deal with consent, sexual harassment and sexual assault. In this episode, I share some moments of things that happened to me. It wasn't easy sharing this stuff, but I felt it was important. This isn't an episode you should enjoy, but you should give pause and think. There will be another episode about this with a panel of other disabled people discussing consent soon enough.
In this episode, I talk about what it has been like for me working in the industry as a queer cripple, and what that has meant for me. We talk about the beginnings of my writings, professional ableism as a Queer Cripple, I share the pitfalls of being a profesional Queer Cripple speaker and more.
This episode is a hilarious re-telling of my first (and hopefully not last) threesome as a Queer Cripple. I share what I wanted the threesome to be, the reality of it, and what I learned from it for my next one. Throughout the story, I touch on internalized ableism, sexual ableism, some funny moments and more. Enjoy!
