In this episode, I sit down with Manny Diaz who shares with us his experiences going from being fully able-bodied to being temporarily disabled from a car accident in 2014, and as a result using crutches for 2 years. We talk about why he chose the term temporarily disabled, how people treated him, how his temporary disability affected both his mental health and his sex life as a gay man, and a whole lot more.
