Lets Talk About Sex: A Conversation on Disability & Sexuality

Sun 30th Nov 1-3pm Ashfield Civic Centre

Let’s talk about sex for Real! Guess what?! The disabled community has sex!!

Join Sydney Disability Pride for a panel of laughter, honesty, and celebration as we explore the intersections of disability and sexuality. This isn’t your typical conversation! We’re breaking taboos, challenging stereotypes, and proudly claiming space for disabled people’s desires, experiences, and identities.

Hosted by the hilarious and insightful Madeleine Stewart, Let’s Talk About Sex brings together a powerful and diverse panel of voices from across the disability spectrum. Together, they’ll share stories, insights, and lived experiences that open up new ways of thinking about intimacy, identity, and pride.

This event aims to:

  • Celebrate disabled sexuality in all its diversity! Proudly, publicly, and without apology.
  •  Encourage open, honest discussion about disability and sex from dating to desire, from access to agency.
  •  Support our community in improving relationships with our own sexuality through shared stories, peer advice, and solidarity.
  • Highlight the importance of disability pride as a movement that embraces our identities and stands in solidarity with all sexualities and genders — never apart from them.

Come laugh, learn, and celebrate with us as we rewrite the conversation around disability and sex — together, out loud, and with pride.

Because disabled people have always been sexy it’s time the world caught up.

Panelists:

Deb Roach- Disabled world pole dancing champion with one arm and long time champion of disability pride .

Emily Dash: Power wheelchair user and artist will speak to her experience the issues raised in her award-winning films.

Kyle Goldfinch: Autistic queer screen leader will speak to what disabled and queer identities have different and in common.
