Over the last two decades there has been an increase in the use of participatory and emancipatory methodologies within disability research; centring the lived experience of disabled people. This paper explores some of the ethical and practical considerations when researching in the area of disabled women and sexuality, highlighting the pervasiveness of ableist attitudes and processes. Drawing on critical disability studies and utilising critical reflexivity, the researcher, a disabled woman, discusses some of the strengths and limitations of being an ‘insider-outsider’ researcher. The paper also presents some strategies and considerations for researchers who seek to use inclusive methods in research with and by disabled people, including the importance of language and multi-methods to facilitate and promote access and expression. If research is to be a true reflection of the community being researched, then it is vital inclusive principles are incorporated into all stages of research projects.Points of interestThere has been an increase in research that includes disabled people in all stages of the research process.This paper discusses some of the ways the researcher, a disabled woman, used inclusive research methods throughout her study focused on disabled women’s experiences of sex education, sexual expression and violence.The paper considers some of the strengths and challenges of insider research, and outlines ways to promote access and expression
