Normalizing Non-Monogamy - Interviews in Polyamory and Swinging
Nikita grew up in India and came to the US about seven years ago when she was 19. As she began to embrace her queerness she started learning about new relationship structures and ultimately found non-monogamy through the kink scene in New York City. For the past few years she has been exploring solo polyamory and shares with us her beautiful, powerful, and challenging journey. For her, being non-monogamous is part of her identity and she sees it as an extension of her queerness. Nikita is also a community organizer, psychotherapist, and sex therapist based in NYC. Her website does a much better job of capturing the power of her work and who she is than we ever could. Please check out her bio below and visit her website for all of her incredible work. From Nikita's Website: I am a Mental Health Therapist-LP and Sex Therapist based in New York City. I graduated with my Master's in Counseling in Mental Health and Wellness and a dual degree in LGBT Health, Education, and Social Services from New York University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a background in Women and Gender Studies from George Mason University. I identify as a queer South Asian immigrant woman. I'm also neurodivergent and non-monogamous. Aside from being a therapist, I have volunteered as a crisis counselor for the Trevor Project, worked as a graduate assistant for the New York University LGBTQ+ Center, and helped in the planning of social justice conferences. I have worked towards being a therapist for many years now and it is my greatest honor to arrive where I am. I grew up in Bangalore, a city in India where access to mental healthcare was limited and heavily stigmatized. We didn't really talk about sex at all and the patriarchal culture often made it unsafe to embody our sexual selves. During my young adult years in Bangalore, I struggled to find a counselor who had a background in LGBTQ issues. The counselor that I talked to put me in a one size fits all box, bound by a traditional conception of heteronormative binary identities. The services I received seemed ingenuine and I felt alone. The counselor failed to understand the challenges that are faced by a queer woman in a conservative country. At that moment, a strong desire to uplift people who feel confused and alone was born.

Episode 145: Family Planning for the LGBTQIA+Future Dr. Hoque explains how to assist with family planning for the LGBTQIA+ community. Some principles such as avoiding unintended pregnancies and reducing and early treatment of STIs are discussed. Written by Ashfi Hoque, MBA, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine. You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Arreaza: Welcome to episode 145 of the Rio Bravo qWeek podcast. My name is Hector Arreaza, a faculty member of the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program.Ashfi: Hello everyone, I am Ashfi Hoque a 4th-year medical student at Ross University School of Medicine. I am from Long Beach, California. Patient advocacy and patient-centered care have always been a priority of mine. I've volunteered for years at the LGBT+ center in Weho and Long Beach. Today we will be discussing Family Planning for everyone while learning ways to become LGBTQIA+ inclusive. Arreaza: Yes, family planning is important, and I'm glad you included all types of families. I believe medical care must be offered to everyone, and I also believe in freedom of conscience, that's why I can freely express that I support traditional family for me. Why did you choose this topic?Ashfi: I chose this topic because my partner recently went to get her physical. Her provider had an extensive conversation about family planning and even discussed the anticipated cost of freezing her oocytes. I really loved the way this provider went about the conversation so I started researching ways I can support my community and also teach others to provide Queer inclusive medical care. What is LGBTQIA+?LGBTQIA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, etc. The community will be referenced as the Queer community, an umbrella term for people who are not heterosexual or not cisgender. There are many inequalities that the community faces and we can do our due diligence to educate ourselves continuously and be aware that terminology and health needs may change. We have another Rio Bravo episode, Caring for LGBTQ+ Patients on Episode 103, that discusses healthcare disparities, but during this episode, we will be diving into an introduction to bridging health gaps, creating health equity, and building trust with the community. A 2023 Global Survey found that the self-identified Queer community represents 9% of the population, while the true estimate may be higher due to safety concerns. While diabetics are 10-13% of the population. These statistics show that as a medical provider, you'll encounter Queer patients more often than you think. One of the healthcare issues that Queer folks face is a lack of family planning.What is Family Planning?The World Health Organization (WHO) defines family planning as “the ability of individuals and couples to anticipate and attain their desired number of children and the spacing and timing of their births. It is achieved through the use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of involuntary infertility.”Family planning serves three critical needs: Avoiding unintended pregnanciesReducing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)Early treatment of STDs to reduce rates of infertilityWhen discussing family planning for patients, here are some examples of questions you can ask. What name may I use to address you?What are your pronouns?What is your gender? (Only if necessary for care, what is your assigned sex at birth?)Are you sexually active?What is the gender(s) of your partner(s)?Are you concerned about unintended pregnancy?Are you currently using any contraceptive measures?Are you taking any precautions to reduce STI/STD such as physical barriers like condoms, dental dams, or any harm reduction such as PrEP?What kind of STI/STD screening are you requesting?Do you need me to request additional labs such as oral or anal swabs?Those questions must be asked in a natural, non-judgmental way. While STD/STI screening and treatment is part of family planning, the part that we tend to neglect is the desire for Queer folks to build a family. Why is Family Planning Important for the LGBTQIA+ community?The Queer community gained the legal right to marry eight years ago, in 2015. They did not have the nationwide right to adopt until the last state, Mississippi, overturned the unconstitutional restrictions for the Queer community to adopt in 2016. A UCLA study in 2018 titled, “How many same-sex couples in the US are raising children?” reported cis-heterosexual couples: 3% are raising at least one adopted child and 95% are raising biological children while same-sex couples: 21.4% are raising at least one adopted child and 68% have a biological child. When it comes to family planning, there is more than adoption for Queer people. Queer folks are not offered the same pregnancy planning options, such as cis hetero-couples who are experiencing infertility or cis-women planning for advanced maternal age pregnancy. However, the options are quite similar. These options require specific types of planning, and that information can be provided to patients by their primary care doctor. A couple needs to know their options and consider the long-term financial planning necessary for surrogacy, in vitro fertilization (IVF), or donor insemination. The main difference for many Queer couples is the method of conception needed. Depending on sexual orientation and gender identity, patients may have varying reproductive needs as part of their family planning. We cannot make assumptions about how family planning should look and need to remember this journey looks different from person to person and couple to couple.How to approach family planning with the LGBTQIA+ community? Basic tenants of providing medical care for queer patients: Clinics specializing in Queer family planning found patient-centered care leads to better outcomes. The best approach is to be mindful, conscious, and to communicate without assumptions. We have to start with providers building trust, being honest, showing sensitivity assisting with reproductive services, and working towards being more knowledgeable about Queer parenthood. A provider could ask questions such as: Would you like information about family planning?What do you imagine your future family to look like?Would you like to see options and potential costs?Would you need a referral for a specialist?Or it can be as simple as being honest about your scope of knowledge by stating, “I am not well versed in LGBTQIA+ community issues but what ways can I support you?” It is ethically appropriate to transition care to a physician with better knowledge if you feel unable to assist a person from the LGBTQ+ community. Make sure to do it in a polite and respectful way.Gender inclusive: With more people openly identifying as non-binary and trans, there is a need for a gender-neutral approach to discussing a patient's biological and reproductive needs. First, we will avoid assuming gender identity based on the biological sex of a patient. Episode 14 of Rio Bravo does a great job of breaking down gender diversity and the difference between gender identity and biological sex. For transgender and nonbinary patients, providing care for medical transitioning often includes conversations about family planning before starting HRT. It is common to ask patients about to begin HRT if they would like to freeze their sperm or eggs. Second, we want to avoid assuming anything based on what reproductive organs a patient has. We can ask a patient about their intention to start a family. Avoid asking if a trans patient has received transitional surgery (bottom surgery) unless it is completely necessary for the care we are providing. Instead, it is appropriate to ask the patient if birthing is an option? Have you given birth before? Were there any complications? Is there any current hormonal treatment? This mindful strategy is also useful for patients who may have limitations in: producing oocytes or sperm, the ability to house a fetus in utero, or implantation and fertility. Third, we are going to address our underlying beliefs and assumptions about gendered parenthood. Parenthood is almost always thought of as motherhood and fatherhood, but this can be alienating for transgender patients. There are many possible ways of being a parent, and to be inclusive let's consider the possibility of a masculine woman or transmasculine man being a birthing parent or of a transgender woman being the mother of a child without giving birth to the child. There are many more scenarios we can discuss at another point. In the interest of time, we are going to shift into discussing family planning for lesbian and gay people and couples. Sexuality inclusive:For homosexual cis-gendered people who are single or in relationships, family planning can look similar to couples facing infertility issues. When having family planning conversations with these patients, a provider should ask broad, unassuming questions. If you have established that a queer person or couple wants a child, then you can ask if they have a family plan. If the patient or couple has a plan, follow the couple's lead. If the patient(s) do not have a plan, then you can begin to ask questions like: Do you have someone in mind to be a birth giver? Do you have a sperm donor? Do you have an egg donor? These questions are a great transition into discussing the following options for family planning.What are the options for having a newborn and the financial and ethical cost?Having a child can cost up to $100k, and this does not even include the cost of childcare. Infertility treatment is not covered by regular insurance, so patients need either infertility insurance or private financing to cover the cost of treatment. However, fertility insurance does not cover same-sex couples. There is a large emotional, physical, and ethical cost to deciding which route to choose. Let's discuss options and obstacles.1. Donor Insemination: The most affordable route is having a birth-giving parent who is fertile with a known sperm donor. This method can be as simple as using a syringe to inseminate the uterus-carrying person, but we need to consider necessary attorney fees to terminate the parental rights of the sperm donor. Sperm from a sperm bank requires an extensive workup including STD panel, HIV, and genetic disorder screening. The sperm donor gives up all parental rights during the process. The price of these procedures is constantly changing and depends on location.California Cryobank costs start at $1200 for anonymous donors and $1900 for identification disclosure donor which the child will receive information about the donor at age 18. Selecting a donor can include specifics such as race, talents, education, hobbies, physical attributes, and showing donor baby photos. There are two common insemination processes:Intracervical insemination: semen inside the cervical opening and covers the cervixIntrauterine insemination: semen is inserted through the cervix and placed directly into the cavityThe next option jumps up in cost significantly.2. Freezing Eggs (Oocyte Cryopreservation):Pacific Fertility Center Los Angeles, reports a single cycle of egg freezing can cost $6-10k per freezing cycle and may need multiple cycles without medication. The medications are typically around $3-6k depending on how much your body needs. Storage is an additional cost of $700-$1,000 a year. This is an option for parents planning pregnancy during advanced ages.3. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): It is a process where an oocyte is collected similarly to freezing eggs but fertilized with a partner's or donor's sperm.Pacific Fertility Center Los Angeles reports it costs $8-13k per cycle of fertilization. It is an option for those who have issues with infertility, previous pelvic inflammatory diseases, surgeries, and issues with implantations.4. Surrogacy: This is the process of hiring a professional birthing surrogate to carry an embryo. This is an alternative option for couples who decline or cannot carry a pregnancy. The surrogate has no legal rights or biological relation to the fetus. Family Tree Surrogacy reports it costs about $45-65k.5. Adoption: Foster care adoption in California can be $1-5k. American Cost of Adoption, reports the cost of adoption for infants in California $40-70k including the medical expenses for the birth-giving person and legal expenses for the process. Versus adopting an infant from another country due lack of resources and poverty may better their lives or cause a higher demand for infants which may be an ethical issue. Also, transcultural adoption where the race of the parents and the children are different, and navigating culture and race with the children. Adoptees have reported having racial identity crises.With all these studies, it is well documented that providers will not be perfect at giving care to the Queer community. These studies do not represent every queer person and do not take the intersectionality of race, class, or gender identity into consideration. It is our job as providers to be supportive of all types of patients in order to increase their access to proper medical care. _______________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 145, “Family Planning for the LGBTQIA+.” Future Dr. Hoque explained how queer people can be included in family planning conversations, even before heterosexual couples. She described some options such as donor insemination, freezing eggs, IVF, and adoption. Dr. Arreaza explained that it is important to ask reproductive questions in a natural, non-judgmental way to all your patients, and refer to another professional when needed.

Today, kids are much more informed about gender identity than years ago. I know that when I was a child, we did not learn about gender diverse youth and how to support them. Now that I'm a parent I find it so important to have open conversations with my children so that they feel comfortable telling us anything. Dr. Kathryn Lowe joins me on this episode to educate us on how we can support our children, especially if they are a part of the LGBTQ community. We talk about how to support gender diverse children, how to raise awareness about gender, how to use language that is inclusive of all kids, and much more. Dr. Katherine Lowe is a pediatrician with a particular interest in gender diverse youth. She is a co-author of the novel You-ology: A Puberty Guide for Every Body, which she began writing after she realized there was a lack of resources for LGBTQ teens. Dr. Lowe is also a clinical assistant professor with the University of Washington School of Medicine. She is also an executive committee member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on LGBT Health and Wellness. In this episode we discuss: Appropriate definitions of gender diverse common terms Easy ways to support gender diverse children Strategies for preparing adults to have gender conversations with their children Tips for being inclusive when talking about puberty Ways to support your transgender child at their school Resources: You-ology: A Puberty Guide for Every Body Gender Spectrum PFLAG Human Rights Campaign American Academy of Pediatrics article LGBTQ teens article The Trevor Project Head to the show notes for resources from this episode: lynzyandco.com/motherhood-meets-medicine-the-podcast/ Use code LYNZY for 30% off Navy Hair Care: Navy Hair Care Shampoo + Conditioner Navy Hair Care Charcoal Mask Connect on Instagram @motherhoodmeetsmedicine.

Beth underwent gender transition from natal female to trans male and has since de-transitioned. In her early teens, Beth felt she was not like other women and began to question her gender. She saw people who were nonconforming, but although she adopted a non-binary identity in college, people still saw her as a woman. Beth became drawn to a masculine identity and associated transitioning gender with empowerment: she would be free from the perceived social constraints and physical vulnerabilities of womanhood. Beth's parents, the therapist she saw a few times, and the surgeon all affirmed her desire to transition. Beth underwent testosterone therapy and top surgery to remove her breasts, sacrifices in service of liberation. In time, however, Beth discovered that physical changes did not transform her inner world, and her post-surgical chest remains numb. Beth says, “de-transitioning brought me down to earth” and into adulthood. She feels some of her urges to transition were healthy, and some were self-annihilating—and wishes she had had more help in differentiating her inner world from her gender expression. Beth hopes to be a voice for the complexity of gender transitioning. Here's Beth's dream: “I met a woman in a lush forest. The forest was filled with strange relics—an abandoned child's playground, a little home, and abandoned campsites. I knew she was a detransitioner, but unlike me, she was proud, unabashed, and free. She told me I could be free like her once no one knew where to find me. Then she ran off into the jungle. There was an exhilarating feeling of freedom and hope.” BEYOND THE BREAKING POINT Music and lyrics by Wells Hanley ©2021You were my lost loverI tried for so longjust to find you here beside meI was so wrongI wandered darkened highwaysI turned every stonefar beyond the point of breakingbut I was never aloneSo afraid I would die waitingHow I hoped you would be thereand that you'd find meout beyond the breaking point So I swam in shark filled watersI swam in despairMy flesh was eaten, bruised, and beatenMy blood was spilled everywhereAnd as I sank down to the bottomand my life began to fade,you opened up your eyesout beyond the breaking point And as we gaze into the heavenswhere we dwell among the trees,you're always with me here beyond the breaking point _____________ Music and lyrics by Wells Hanley ©2021 Singers: Laura Ann Singh at www.lauraannsingh.com and Rei Alvarez at www.reialvarez.com https://www.iwrotethissongforyou.com/ https://www.patreon.com/iwrotethissongforyou NOTES: Currently, there is limited research on the factors that correlate with detransition and the percentage of individuals who chose to detransition. Of the available studies, methods and definitions vary, suggesting a need to establish standardized criteria in the future. Five studies are mentioned below. One concludes, of 17,151 who identify as transgender and gender diverse people, 13.1% reported a history of detransition or going back to living as their sex assigned at birth. Another concludes that only 0.2-0.3% of patients expressed post-operative regret and requested reversal surgery. In another study, 6.9% of patients detransitioned. Additional research is necessary to understand these phenomena more fully. Boyd, I.; Hackett, T.; Bewley, S. Care of Transgender Patients: A General Practice Quality Improvement Approach.

Florida's bill has been nicknamed the 'don't say gay' bill. Here's more information on the bill: https://www.hrc.org/news/florida-senate-passes-dont-say-gay-or-trans-bill-legislation-heads-to-desantis-desk-for-signature-or-veto https://m.flsenate.gov/session/bill/2022/1557/billtext/er/pdf How many times can we say 'gay' in this podcast episode? Teaching kids in grades K-3 language to describe LGBT language will not change straight kids gay; just like teaching kids heteronormative language will make gay kids straight. People have a right to be who they are. And they have the right to be introduced to language that will help them describe how they feel.

Transgender individuals are four times more likely than their cisgender female counterparts to self-report an ED diagnosis, two times as likely to report ED symptomology, and have significantly higher rates of attempted or successful suicide. Thus, EDs in the trans community are horrifically rampant and especially dangerous. A transgender individual may develop an ED to create gendered features and conform to a masculine or feminine societal ideal. All of us who have suffered from or witnessed an ED in any capacity know how tied up to body image it is. Considering that transgender people live in a body that does not feel true or like home, these body image disturbances can become even more heightened: control of food becoming the mechanism by which to modify their appearances. A tragic contradiction.

The startling links between ASD and Gender Dysphoria are raising plenty of questions as clinicians wonder why children on the spectrum tend to struggle with gender. Also, which comes first: ASD or gender nonconformity? In this episode, we explore how autistic traits may cause youth to question their gender and become attached to identity labels. And we wonder if this has implications for the trans movement.

Extended Notes Sasha worked with autistic children early in her career and it really shaped a lot of her training today. How do you define autism? Stella thinks girls who have autism are getting missed at a younger age compared to boys. How are gender and autism related? Some children are just getting misdiagnosed as children and it's showing up as anxiety or depression, instead of being on the spectrum. Can't figure out why a child might not be making progress? They're on the wrong meds. Autistic kids in general don't really conform to gender norms. Parents spend so much time with their autistic children just so they can live somewhat of a normal life. It's painful and heartbreaking. It's cute when you're five when it comes to not picking up on the gender roles, but as you get older, it can be difficult to integrate into a normal life. Are there more autistic people now than there were before? Technology and being overly glued to it can accelerate the social deficit traits. Are you comfortable in your own body? A lot of times the answer is no. One of the signs of autism is sensory issues. Both Sasha and Stella have noticed with their gender dysphoric children that they have an overfixation on the new changes their body is giving them during puberty, and how they hate it. You don't want to deny that children on the spectrum do have legitimate challenges, but there is a balance between blaming it on their autism vs. not enough real-life training. “If you're not supporting me, you must be transphobic.” Should you assess your kid for autism? Tread carefully when it comes to testing your teen. Your teen is going to take it as you trying to fix what's “not fixable.” This podcast is partially sponsored by ReIME, Rethink Identity Medicine Ethics: https://rethinkime.org/ (Rethinkime.org) Learn more about our show: https://linktr.ee/WiderLensPod (Linktr.ee/WiderLensPod) Support this podcast

Bottoming 101, STD & STIs and the basics for more fun, safer sex! Dr. Carlton is a gay gastroenterologist who was raised in an über conservative tobacco town in the Deep South but somehow made his way to training at the Mayo Clinic for a top tier medical education. He landed his dream job in San Diego where he is married to an amazing guy and has 2 kids. While he serves the entire community's medical needs, he is particularly proud to serve the local LGBTQ community in San Diego as a resource for healthcare without judgment or share. He stumbled onto Tik Tok during the pandemic and realized the need and the hunger for anal sex education ...and not just from the LGBTQ family but also women and straight men interested in butt play. So many people are embarrassed to talk about anal sex or ask questions about it, but let's face it...most people want to know how to do it right, do it well, and do it safely! Who better to ask than a gay GI doctor who not only knows the medical side of things, but is no stranger to anal sex himself?!

Discrimination in health care settings sets barriers for LGBT individuals to receive proper care, which leads to significant health disparities in the LGBT community. And one of the biggest barriers LGBT individuals are facing is the lack of trained providers. How can you learn the proper patient care techniques in your medical training, especially if it's lacking from your med school's curriculum? This week is National LGBT Health Awareness Week, and Benjamin Brooks with the National Coalition for LGBT Health joined us to discuss why LGBT health is important and how you, as a provider, can help reduce the existing disparities in health care delivery. Since its creation in 2000, the National Coalition for LGBT Health has advanced the health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals through advocacy, education, and health services research. Learn more about the Coalition and its programs at www.healthlgbt.org.

This session from Dust 2016, at the CCA in Glasgow on Wednesday 20 April, was a discussion around the National Theatre of Scotland's Eve/Adam project, a double bill of theatre shows exploring transgender lives – Eve, a very personal, reflective show by playwright Jo Clifford (pictured), and Adam, the true story of an Egyptian trans man’s journey to self-discovery, directed by Cora Bissett (Glasgow Girls, Roadkill). The negative impact of stigma and prejudice on the mental health of transgender people is well documented, and the Mental Health Foundation is working with the National Theatre of Scotland to document transgender life stories in a positive and empowering way. Here, Jo Clifford and Cora Bissett talk about the project with Vic Valentine of the Scottish Transgender Alliance and Alison Wren from LGBT Health & Wellbeing.

In Just Plain Sense it's my aim to feature every side of the enormous conversation around Equality, Diversity and Human Rights in British society. There are plenty of people who can talk about first hand experiences, or advocate on behalf of whole communities; in the last episode we heard from a senior civil servant; so in this episode I'm featuring a speech by an elected city council politician. Councillor Paul Fairweather represents the North Manchester area of Harpurhey. He's an out gay man and this speech is taken from a conference last year on LGBT Health strategy, so his comments about health and more general inclusion reflect that. Nevertheless his point about the role of local political influence -- using scrutiny powers, local area agreements and partnerships -- is just as valid for any group.
