Two Old Sexperts is a warm, candid show about sexuality, disability, relationships, and the support systems that often struggle to talk about any of it. Sean McGill and Sharon Potter frame the subject through professional experience rather than theory alone. The pace is unhurried. The stakes are immediate. Episodes often begin with a concrete situation: a person in a group home pressured for affection, a young woman worried about being touched, a self-advocate needing clearer education, or a person with complex communication needs entering a legal process. From there, the conversation opens into larger questions about consent, boundaries, loneliness, and what real support should look like. The show is frank about sexuality without treating it as sensational. It is also blunt about avoidant systems. Staff discomfort, family resistance, undertraining, cost pressure, and crisis-driven service models all become part of the discussion. The hosts return often to prevention. They argue, through examples, that people are safer when sexuality education, trauma awareness, gender identity, and communication access are handled before harm occurs. Some episodes are structured as direct answers to difficult support questions, including hormone therapy, autism, and speech and language challenges. Others lean into guest expertise. Dr. Michele Angello brings a lifespan view of gender-variant, transgender, non-binary, gender-expansive, and neurodiverse people. Dr. Bev France brings attention to disability services, sexually challenging behaviors, victimization, court proceedings, and the VOICE protocol. The show also spends time with loneliness, connection, support groups, and grounding practices, making room for emotional survival as much as professional practice. It does not smooth over the hardest material. It does insist that people with disabilities deserve privacy, agency, safety, communication support, and honest conversation. Its best moments feel like practitioners refusing to let discomfort become neglect.
Made for: For disability support professionals, educators, families, advocates, and self-advocates who need practical language for sexuality, consent, gender identity, trauma, and relationships.
What sets it apart: The show pairs direct sexuality education with grounded human-service examples, making ethical questions feel concrete rather than abstract. Its strength is the blend of warmth, discomfort, and practical advocacy.
