August 05, 2021 Ep.19: “How do abortions work?”
This episode is part 1 of Christine and Ellie’s conversation on ABORTION. They explain the difference between a medication abortion and an in-clinic abortion, discuss the various emotions people have surrounding their abortion, and debunk some myths about abortion. They also go on a tangent and tear apart J.K. Rowling for being a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist). Regardless of how you feel about abortion, it is a safe, legal, and common procedure in the U.S.

July 22, 2021 Ep.17: “What is the ‘I’ in LGBTQIA?”
*NOTE: We believe we pronounced Sha'Carri Richardson’s name incorrectly on this episode. Sincerest apologies for our mistake!

There has been some pretty egregious shit happening with the Olympics this year, so Ellie and Christine are unpacking a few of them. They talk about Sha'Carri Richardson, Soul Caps, and two athletes, Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi, who were banned from competition because they had naturally higher levels of testosterone. They also dive into what biological sex and intersex really means, and discuss the horrific practice of medically unnecessary surgeries on intersex babies (spoiler alert: this still happens regularly around the world, including in the U.S.A.)

July 15, 2021 Ep.16: “Is sex similar to what it’s like in the movies?”
Buckle up ETA listeners because this might just be our fastest talking episode yet. This week, Christine and Ellie are talking about how sex and sexuality are portrayed in the media. They dive into some throwback TV shows like Gilmore Girls and the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, as well as newer shows like Sex Education, Never Have I Ever, Big Mouth, Pose, and Bridgerton. MAJOR spoiler alert if you haven’t seen these shows! They also get into questions like “should sexual assault be shown on TV and movies?” and “is it ok for straight, cis actors to play queer characters?”

July 08, 2021 Ep.15: “Do you need consent for light oral sex?”
This week, Christine and Ellie are covering a classic sex ed topic - we’re talking about CONSENT. They unpack the “boys will be boys” narrative, discuss the importance of talking about consent with people of all ages, and grapple with some of the grey areas when it comes to consent. They also go on a couple random tangents - btw does anyone else use the phrase “noodle through”? Or just Ellie?

July 01, 2021 Ep.14: “How can I help my friend who sent nudes?”
On this episode Christine and Ellie are talking about SEXTING. Adolescents today are dealing with receiving unsolicited nudes (let’s be real, mostly dick pics), being pressured to sext, and their nudes being shared without their consent (aka revenge porn). Tune in to hear how we can talk about this important issue with young people!
