Spoiler alert, we all do! In today’s episode, we talk about examples of internalized homophobia within ourselves, but also in how we’ve seen it within others in society…including those who identify as straight. You can have internalized homophobia, and not be explicitly homophobic. Let’s talk.

Texas has banned all abortions past the 6-week mark, so essentially almost all abortions completely, and enacted a hunt for people seeking the procedure. Ultimately making pregnant patients suffer.  In today's episode, we address why this is so problematic and how once again, society still finds it imperative to control women’s bodies. 

We receive a lot of messages about us as a couple and how we keep our relationship healthy. We hear about red flags when it comes to relationships a lot in society, so what about those green flags? Today we're chatting about some green flags in a relationship (or friendship!) and how you can spot early on if your relationship will be a healthy one.

Baby gender reveal parties are rituals that celebrate the gender binary and reinforce gender stereotypes. These parties are harmful because they are the very first attempt to box that baby into a gender that they may not feel represents who they are as they get older. For children to feel safe, we need to knock down the walls that cage them in. 

Is a baby’s gender something to be celebrated? And if so, why? We’re going to chat about why baby gender reveals can be unhealthy for children and society as a whole, and how it contributes to society’s expectations of people because of their gender. 

Discrimination and oppression can be an everyday experience for trans people and can affect so many areas of their lives.

Sex is a natural aspect of life and a fundamental part of being human. The lack of accurate sex education leads to misinformation on health-related matters such as menstruation, STD awareness, reproduction and fertility, and consent. Today, we chat with sex educator Leeza Mangaldas to get her perspective on the cultural stigmatization of sex and how to break this stigma in society.

LGBTQ+ representation in the media is visibility. Visibility is normalization for marginalized groups and an opportunity for other stories outside of heteronormativity to be told.
