Pride month may be drawing to a close, but we’re just getting started. Strap in for a suite of episodes dedicated to dismantling the conjoined constructs broadly known as “gender” and “sexuality”.

To kick it off, we present you with episode 8 of the Navel Gaze, in which we have a straight-shootin' discussion about the regime of heterosexuality, its coercive constructs, and the ways we cope.

Resources will be available in this doc, which will be updated as we expand this suite of episodes.
