Guest: Cathy Reisenwitz, Sex & the State substack newsletter

Cathy Reisenwitz, sex worker and writer, joins Fat Chicks on Top to chat about masculinity, Evangelicalism, loneliness, and more! When I discovered her newsletter, Sex and the State, I had to have her on the show. She has a lot of amazing insights into structural barriers to success, access to servicers, sex work, masculinity, and America. I love how she breaks down large systematic issues into critical discussion pieces.

After incurring a life-altering disability, Ed Waters found himself seeking out assisted suicide. Learning to see masculinity as something more than than just brute physical strength saved his life.

Guest: Bindiya Schaefer, author

Bindiya Schaefer grew up in the UAE and India. She worked as a tech journalist before switching to tech advertising. This provided a natural transition into writing science fiction. Her debut novel, Corinth 2642 AD is a futuristic murder-mystery. She explores race relations, gender, and more through this work. Her next project, a YA novel, seeks to explore Indian joy (something she finds missing from much of literature).

She is in an interracial relationship and she and Auntie Vice chat about the experience of being in interracial relationships.
