Episode 096 - Sex Toys, Eggs, Benches and Ableism

In this episode, I talk about some of the current sex toys on the market for disabled people. I look at the ableist mess that is the "Intimate Rider" product and explore whether I think a Tenga Egg sleeve donated by Come As You Are would actually be accessible for someone like me by opening it live on the air. I also talk more about my new venture to create the first line of sex toys for and by physically disabled people.

DISAFTDARK MINI 21

In this episode, I get an e-mail from an anonymous listener who talks about their journey with gender identity and also discusses a little bit about their dating history as an autistic non-binary person. They also mention the lack of representation of autistic people dating in the media. This was a nice, detailed glimpse into their world, and I was happy to read and discover that this podcast has been helpful to them.

Episode 094 - “Elisa and The Fishman” - A Review of “The Shape of Water”

In this episode, I review 2018's Best Picture Winner "The Shape of Water". I talk a lot about the ableism in the film, and how the central character (played by a non-disabled actress... ugh) shouldn't necessarily fall in love with a fish man. I share some of my many issues with the film, as well as a few things I could relate to in love that I saw in this. I also share some reviews from disabled people who highlight just how ableist this romance between a deaf woman and a fish man actually is.

Episode 093 - Pride While Disabled

This episode is all about my feelings about Pride when you are disabled. I share some of my experiences in Prides in 2018, and my issues with the organizational exclusion of disability by Pride orgs. I focus in on Pride Toronto and how we can do better. I also talk about some super ableist incidents that happened to disabled people during pride including Stonewall and Flaming Saddles Weho in LA. I also coin the term "bahcumbug" in this episode.

DISAFTDARK MINI 20

Wow, it's our 20th disaftdark minisode! In this minisode, I get an e-mail from Jessica, who tells us all about their experiencing dating with a disability; whether they are gay or straight, and their comfortability in simply being alone and feeling complete. It was an awesomely long e-mail, but it resonated with me, and I hope you enjoy! Also, if you have a minisode idea that you want to share, please e-mail [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Episode 092 - Entertainment Tonight Made Me Gay; Which Celebs I Think Aren’t Ableist (and who I wanna fuck)

In this episode, I share with you that I love pop culture and celebrities along with sex and disability, so I combined these two loves. I talk about the celebs that I think wouldn't be super ableist (and some who might be a little ableist), and who I'd like to fuck. This one was so fun to do... Enjoy!

DISAFTDARK MINI 18

In Minisode 18, I get an e-mail from Spencer who tells us all about his sexy adventures at a Green Day concert in the UK. I get a gentle reminder to watch how I word things, and I'm asked, "what's the difference between hyper-sexualization and asexualization of disabled people." Remember, if you have a story, an anecdote, thought, theory or anything to say on disability that you want included as a minisode, e-mail us at [email protected].
