Hey again! Episode 5 is another ‘sub-episode’, a conversation with invited guests. This conversation uses episode 4 - Gender & Sexuality as a starting point. If you haven’t listened to Gender & Sexuality, we’d suggest doing that as we reference it here.
The speakers in this conversation are Dr Emma Chan (@squisquasque) and Reece Lyons (https://www.reecelyons.uk/ @reecelyons_).
Here are some of the people, materials and cultural references we mention: Gender and Sexuality, and Sexual Health workshops by School of Sexuality Education, Eastenders the TV show, the Brit School, Section 28, Gender Spectrum, Queer Ecology, Gender Reveal Parties, Caster Semenya, Two Spirit, Hydra Community, Olympics, Michael Phelps, Lynx Africa, Tick Tock, Grindr, We Need To Talk About Money by Otegha Uwagba
This sub-episode contains some strong language, discussions around what is “normal”, heteronormativity and ablism as well as white privilege and cis gendered perspectives. We talk about taught and learnt behaviours in order to “fit in”. We talk about pronouns, homophobia, socialised patterns of gender and sexuality, white supremacy and transphobia. We talk about TERFs. We explore labels and their binaries as well as the nuance and space within those concepts. We mention pregnancy and gender reveals. We also mention Covid, misogynoir. We talk about self image. These sub episodes are conversations. They do not offer solid answers. Sometimes opinions are offered, but they are not necessarily finished. We invite you to keep questioning what is said, to discover what feels right for you, and what doesn’t. This is your conversation as much as it is ours. If you’d like to listen, please do so in a way that feels comfortable for you.
