This week Vi was in Portland, and got the chance to bond with returning show guest Chrissy Stroop over sushi. As they ate, they wondered: What significance do clothing choices have socially and religiously, and how does what we wear impact us and those around us?

So that’s what we’ll be discussing in today’s episode of Secular Sexuality: fashion! Christy, Vi, and Chrissy will be wearing their hearts on their sleeves as they discuss everything from sexist school dress codes to shopping while trans/nonbinary to purity culture and how it burdens women’s bodies.
