Resumen
Yes, we fuck! (2015) is a documentary that seeks to portray the sexuality
of people with functional diversity that focuses on their empowerment
and critiques ableism. Its filming has helped to generate alliances
between Spanish activist groups, which have been named Alianzas Tullido-
Transfeministas (Crip-Queer Alliances). Based on a research project that
combined traditional and digital ethnography, this article reflects on
how these crip-queer alliances have been constructed. First, we present a
genealogy that contextualizes key events and explains their origins. Second,
we analyse the construction process of the alliances, from queer to crip and
vice versa, in order to reflect on the notions of intimacy that these alliances
mobilize, while analysing their discourses and performances around the
body, bonding, desire and sexuality. Finally, we explain the potential, as well
as the difficulties and challenges, of these alliances. We conclude that they
have followed their own situated process, where activists bring into play their
bodies, emotions and intimacies and thus generate enormous potential for
political action that questions ableism and heteropatriarchy
