Shhh! Don't Talk About It

The B Word (Season 4 Pride Month Reissue)


Listen Later

Happy June/Happy Pride! For this week's summer re-mix we are reissuing our season 4 conversation about bisexuality with the team from Catcall Magazine . This was such a fun conversation, and also served as Megan's first official "coming out" on the pod. We wanted to reissue this one because at a time when anti-trans, homophobic, hate is spreading we think its important to center queer joy and queer thinkers and queer conversations.

In this episode we cover:

  • Coming out as bisexual
  • Bisexual erasure and biphobia
  • The importance of community organizing and building community to fight back against bigots.

  • Thank you to the team for sharing your stories so openly! This was so fun for us!

    About Catcall:

    Catcall is a digital collective uplifting Midwest writers, photographers, and artists. We focus on telling important community stories through an intersectional feminist lens that call out and dismantle systemic inequalities; uplift and illuminate the experiences of women, non-binary folks, the queer community, and allies in the Midwest; and connect us all as we catcall back at the patriarchy. This week's guests are: 

    Kelcie McKenney, Editor-In-Chief / Founder

    Kelcie (she/her) is a writer, editor, and artist who is passionate about intersectional feminism, local activism, queer representation, and strengthening community.

    Emily Park, Managing Editor

    Emily (she/her) is a Kansas City-based journalist, passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t always have one. From news to features to business-to-business reporting, she’s done it all.
