In this episode Cheyenne, Grey, and Megan discuss the idea of queer bodies, unfair societal expectations on body image, correlations of body types and gender, and the importance of supporting each other and celebrate all bodies. Or as it is demonstrated in this fascinating exchange:

“Stereotyping and generalizations with a mix of socialization and patriarchy is how you come about the complexity of these identities. That is the equation”- Cheyenne

“Yaaaaaa...”- Megan
