Summary

Meet Andrew Gurza, self-described “disabled man” and “queer cripple.” Andrew shares his experiences interacting with healthcare professionals around issues related to mobility, autonomy, and sexuality. He talks about what it feels like to be moved without his consent and treated by healthcare professionals in ways that distance him from his body, pleasure, and human connection. We explore the idea that persons with disabilities aren’t like everyone else and the power that he feels reclaiming words like “queer” and “cripple.” Finally, we discuss his recent musings on Twitter and Facebook about possibly doing porn and the reactions he’s received from friends who worry about that “fetishizing” his disability. You can follow Andrew on Twitter at @andrewgurza.

ELECTRONIC MIXOLOGY 2026 est.1999 JT Bartz From Trance, Progressive House, Deep House, Melodic House, Tech House and Techno... I love all these genres of Electronic Dance Music. This is my heartbeat! I was the kid that always bought the 12" vinyl, extended version of a song, like The Pet Shop Boys "West End Girls"; but would also listened to an entire Symphony up in my room, close my eyes and enjoyed all of the movements. EDM, Electronic Dance Music is music I could only dream of, but it is here, and glad to express my self through some enormous talent. Always purchased/owned tracks, carefully curated, stemmed, looped, effected and intuitively edit and mixed on the fly! Enjoy the journey's!
