Content/Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault and Abuse, Drinking Culture, Peer Pressure, Name-ing and Shame-ing, unhealthy college cultures

For our first episode recorded in Twenty-bi-teen we talk to Jen, a bi woman with a background in education, media and communications, and an a capella choir, the QUT Aca-demics. This time we talk about University Colleges and the unhealthy cultures that can develop within, as well as the dangers that can arise when a “boys will be boys” mentality is allowed. Following this we get onto the realisation and coming out process, and some tips for those entering first year of uni, especially in a college.

In regards to the sexual assault and toxicity discussed in this episode here are some links on the topic worth looking at if you need anytone to contact on the topic, as well as good charities etc.

Hello everyone! Today our guest is actually one of our hosts, Megan! We decided that introductions were in order for members of the team, and this is the first in a set of planned episodes. Megan is a queer woman with a background in theatre, and with her we talk about the process of realising one’s sexuality, the thought processes that can occur as you start coming out, and the way things can change after you do. Check a listen to get to know one of our hosts better.

Part 2 of our discussion with the fine folks, Siobhan and Nikki. This time around we talk the intricacies of nonbinary existence, including nonbinary transitioning, binding, and gendered language in genderless/gender-diverse relationships. We also talk about the emotional labour of education, especially when it is unexpected. And, (to finish up our last episode for the year!!!!) Megan and Tahlya work double time on validating the wonderful folks that listen in over the summertime.

Listen in folks, and be careful how you use the word pineapple.
