30+ People to know in the field of disability & sexuality

Below is a brief list of disabled / chronically ill / neurodivergent folks doing work in the world of disability and sexuality. Some are writers, some are educators, some are both. I’ve used their Twitter bios for ease and they’re listed in reverse alphabetical order to change things up a bit. If you’d like to be removed from this list, please let me know.

This list was created in 2019 and is not open for additions.
