This week on Big Bi+ Questions, we boldly go where plenty of fandom debates have gone before… into the universe of Star Trek and queer representation on television.

Tamzyn is joined by Little Jase, Raena, Stevie, Clayton from Geeks Out, and special guest Jon from Hide & Seek. With Raena stepping in as our resident “Trekspert”, we explore how Star Trek has approached gender, sexuality and identity across the decades — from early allegory and coded storytelling to the openly queer characters we’re seeing today.

We chat about the risks sci-fi has taken to explore identity, the moments that pushed boundaries (and the ones that didn’t quite land), and why Star Trek has often been ahead of its time when it comes to imagining more inclusive futures.

And to wrap things up, everyone around the table shares their two favourite TV shows featuring queer representation — with some heartfelt, surprising and very nerdy picks.

Set phasers to fabulous — this one’s for the Trekkies and the queers.

The post Is BI+ representation in TV or is it only star trek? appeared first on Big Bi+ Questions.

In this episode, we explored the psychology of coming out as not-straight and were joined by the brilliant Maxi and Ashley, hosts of JOY show Talk Therapy To Me, a show that unpacks the mess and the magic of mental health, explores all kinds of queer relationships and intimacy, and tackles your burning questions in ‘Ask a Queer Therapist’.

The post Can someone pass the potatoes to the bisexual? appeared first on Big Bi+ Questions.

Yes, the pun is intended (of course). On this episode, we pondered questions around etiquette and breaking down gender norms when it comes to dating people of different genders. We were joined by the amazing Angie and got to find out about her journey to discovering and being proud of her bi+ identity.

The post Who buys dinner? appeared first on Big Bi+ Questions.

In a 2014 interview on his TV show, the late great interviewer Larry King asked actor Anna Paquin this question. 12 years later, the Big Bi+ Questions team unpack why we think it was asked, what we thought of Anna’s response, and why multi-gender attracted people get asked these types of questions.

What a BIG (Bi+ Questions) year it’s been!

Sexual health is important to know about, even if you’re not sexually active! On this episode, we were joined by previous guests and JOY presenters, CJ and Jon, to chat about how we might get an STI, how to get tested, and how to chat to our partners about being sexually healthy.

You can catch more chats about sexual health on Hide & Seek, live on JOY, Tuesdays at 9pm AEST, or check out their podcast at joy.org.au/hideandseek or where ever you get your podcasts!

The post What happens if you bi-pass sexual health? appeared first on Big Bi+ Questions.

Are bi+ people really just doing it for attention? On this episode, our guest was L.A. based singer-songwriter Lucy & La Mer, whose music radiates self-love and joy while celebrating multi-gender attracted identity.

Lucy let us know about her bi+ identity and activism, as well as her passion for creating music that makes people feel good. Together, we unpacked the harmful stereotype that bi+ people are just doing it for attention, exploring how it shows up differently across genders, how it impacts dating and relationships, and how we can avoid others placing this stereotype on us.

The post How can I be my authentic bi+ self at work? appeared first on Big Bi+ Questions.

In recognition of Intersex Awareness Day on 26th October, the Big Bi+ Questions team had a big chat about how bisexuality intersects with the intersex community.

We were so grateful to be joined by two wonderful guests: Training and Communications Co-Ordinator for Inter-Action, Margie McCumstie; and professional Intersex agitator and co host of JOY’s weekly Intersex show, The I In Us, Cody Smith.

We got to know Margie and Cody a little better and discussed how they’ve navigated their identities and the intersections they exist in.

Get to know more about the Intersex community at interaction.org.au and affirm the Darlington Statement at darlington.org.au.

You can catch Cody and co-host Paul on The I In Us, live on Thursdays at 6pm AEST, or catch their podcast at joy.org.au/theiinus.
