Today’s episode is a panel discussion about polyamory featuring Heina Dadabhoy of the Orbit blog Heinous Dealings, Marissa McCool of the Inciting Incident podcast, and her partner Devyn Lennex. There’s been a lot of talk recently about “enforced monogamy,” so I thought what better time to talk about polyamory, right?Links:•Heinous Dealings: https://the-orbit.net/heinous/ •Heina on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heinousheina •Marissa’s website: http://rismccool.com/ •Devyn on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/devyn.lennex •The Atheist Nomads: http://www.atheistnomads.com/ •The Trans Podcaster Visibility Initiative: https://www.facebook.com/transvisiblepodcaster/ •Dream Youth: http://dreamyouth.bandcamp.com •Asher Silberman: http://www.ashersilberman.com/ •My Twitter: http://twitter.com/tmamone •Bi Any Means on Twitter: http://twitter.com/bianymeanspod •Bi Any Means on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/bianymeanspodcast •The Bi Any Means/Biskeptical Podcast Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/179617892470906/ •Email: bianymeanspodcast@gmail.com •Listener line: 410-690-3558 •My Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/tmamone•PayPal link: http://paypal.me/tmamone

This week, early for patrons, Rissy and Bethany are joined by yet another person Rissy met at Skepticon this year, Heina Dadabhoy.

Welcome to another thrilling edition of The Triple Po! I attended Skepticon 10, which was November 10 - 12 in Springfield, MO. I had a lot of fun, and I learned so much from the workshops and speakers. I got to meet so many cool people, both old friends and new faces. I want to thank you the organizers for putting it on, and I look forward to attending the next Skepticon, which I found out will be in St. Louis next time, which is closer to me! For the palaver, I did some mini-interviews with six people : blogger, activist and friend Jessica Xiao; volunteer at the Humanist Service Corps Jude Lane; blogger and activist Heina Dadabhoy; blogger, activist, sometime podcaster and Queen of the Outrage Brigade Stephanie Zvan; Organizer and activist Monette Richards; and Founder and President of Black Nonbelievers Inc., and one of my favorite people Mandisa Thomas. It was such a pleasure and honor to speak to them. All of them have been on the show previously except Monette Richards, and that will be remedied soon as I am interviewing her next week. The show is longer than usual, but I felt that getting all these voices out there was important, and I hope I think y'all will agree. Music by Dot Dot Dash, cdbaby.com/cd/dotdotdash

Thanks for joining me for another episode of The PoPoPo! On the pre-ramble I give the Twitter follower roundup, as well as mention once again that I was on Inciting Incident Podcast.  For the palaver, I host a round-table discussion on polyamory. This episode contains the first part of said discussion, and next week the conclusion will air. My guests were Shane, Jeanne Ikerd, Kory Diggs, Heina Dadabhoy, Leigh, and Daniel Samuelson. Our conversation was informative, funny, and poignant. We talk about what it's like to be poly; what it's like to be poly with kids; the divide between the poly and swinger communities; as well as other topics involving polyamory. This was my first palaver with so many people, and it came off incredibly well, mostly due to my exceptional guests. Much thanks to them for doing this show, and thanks to the listeners who take the time to listen. Music by Dot Dot Dash, cdbaby.com/cd/dotdotdash

Just before the American Humanist Association's 75th Anniversary Conference a couple of weeks ago, the organization announced that it was launching a new Black Humanist Alliance and the revamped and revitalized Feminist Humanist Alliance and LGBTQ Humanist Alliance. Stephanie Zvan caught up with several alliance advisory council members at and after the conference. In this show, we bring you the first of those interviews. Andy Semler is a trans nonbinary activist working in rural Indiana. They are a new member of the LGBTQ Humanist Alliance with a special interest in homelessness in the trans community. Heina Dadabhoy is a nonbinary writer and speaker who is new to organizational secular activism. They are part of the Feminist Humanist Alliance, looking forward to broadening our ideas on reproductive justice. Diane Burkholder is an HIV and Black Lives Matter activist out of Kansas City. She's one of the new co-chairs of the LGBTQ Humanist Alliance, working to get us looking past marriage equality.

Our guest today, Heina Dadabhoy, is an ex-Muslim atheist activist and author of “The Skeptics Guide to Islam” coming out in December 2015. She blogs at “Heinous Dealings.” Heina was raised Muslim and is of Indian decent. She wore a headscarf from age to 10 to 17. One thing you won’t find in Heina is anger and bitterness toward her childhood faith. She brings a fair, honest, and objective voice to helping the rest of us understand Islam.

Muhammad Syed is the co-founder and director of operations for Ex-Muslims of North America. Heina Dadabhoy is an ex-Muslim atheist and feminist who writes at Heinous Dealings. At the American Atheists 2015 convention in Memphis, Tennessee, Jessica spoke with them about the various challenges of leaving Islam and why, if you're having religious doubts, it's better to act on them instead of staying in the faith.

We are joined by Heina Dadabhoy of the Heinous Dealings blog and discuss her background with Islam, life as an ex-Muslim, and so much more.

In today's episode, I talk to Heina Dadabhoy about growing up Muslim, the many misconceptions of Islam, and the difference between racism and criticizing Islamic dogma. Transcription: Trav:                Welcome to the Bi Any means podcast, the place where social justice and humanism meet. Hello and welcome to another episode of the Bi Any Means podcast, the podcast companion to bianymeans.com. I am Trav Mamone and my guest today is Heina Dadabhoy. They are a former contributor to Skepchick, and they are currently blogging at Heinous Dealings at Free Thought Blogs. Heina, thanks for joining me today.Heina:              My pleasure.Trav:                Now for those who don’t know I previously did an email interview with Heina a few months ago on Bi Any Means but with the podcast my audience is starting to grow. For those who missed our previous conversation, can you tell us about growing up Muslim and what eventually led you to atheism? Heina:              Well, I grew up as a Muslim in sunny southern California. I was very religious. In fact, more religious than my family at points, and that also meant I read a lot of religious texts. I knew a lot of things about the religion that everyone around me claimed to believe in and follow but that they didn’t know, things that led me to doubts but never too strong. When 9/11 happened I was actually in high school. It was my second day of high school but while it didn’t make me immediately di-convert it did make me further examine my beliefs especially since so many people around me were asking me questions, and asking me to justify my beliefs and my religion.                        Then that led to several years of doubt in high school. I started reading things outside of religious texts, picked up a few autobiographies of people who were free thinkers, people who were queer, things like that. Eventually I got to college when I was 17 and I started taking different classes, and I took a philosophy class that was on the philosophy behind what’s the theology of the Catholic Church. Essentially the writings of Augustine, and I realized that a lot of what Augustine was saying was the exact same thing my family had been saying to me for years and years, and what my religious teachers had been saying to me for years and years to justify Islam.                         Yet Augustine ended up founding the Catholic Church in its modern form in a lot of ways. I realized that it was in congress that you could start with the same premises, and end up with a different conclusion. I scaled back from very religious Muslim to sort of secular deist, Muslim flavored but eventually realized through various readings of biology, and more philosophy that I didn’t really believe in a creator deity either, and I joke that I fell into a black hole for six months because I’ve always been an avid writer.                        I always kept personal journals of my thoughts that I was so afraid of my thoughts I’d stopped journaling for six months, and at the end of that I came out an atheist. Trav:                Okay. What inspired you to start blogging about Islam atheism and feminism?Heina:              I actually started blogging about being an ex-Muslim

Special guest was Heina Dadabhoy, a female, vocal, educated ex-Muslim nerd from California. http://skepchick.org/author/heina/
