This week's podcast is a dating and disability special featuring journalist and disability activist Cathy who has dwarfism(Insta @thatsinglemum) and podcaster Joy who has visual impairment (@joysworldthepodcast). In this podcast we discuss questions sent in by followers on the topic of disability and how that impacts on dating. Including:

I have an invisible disability. When is the right time to bring it up when dating, and how?

How do you calm anxiety when dating?

How do you have conversations with disabled people, about their disability without being offensive?

What should we not say to disabled people?

Ableism is so rife. Can we discuss people feeling sorry for disabled people, and how they think we are sexless?

Is fetishization a fear of yours? Is there anything that a person could do to allay those fears when starting a relationship with a person with a disability?

How do you date as a single mum? Men always ask to come over when my child is asleep and I get called boring if I say no. I don’t get a lot of free time so it’s hard to navigate.
