While dating and forming more close relationships more than friends, we often aren't taught how to navigate conversations. We are often taught from a majority culture perspective. Here is some info that may be good food for thought related to how queer people can approach different topics in gender and sexuality when it comes to dating, sex life and sexuality. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode, our hosts interview  three members of the Minnesota LGBTQIA+/Queer community: Logan Sand, a certified sexologist, Lark Lekat, a sex educator and sex worker, and Carise Roatch, a Marriage and Family Therapist who works from a sex positive theoretical background.

Co-hosted by Xochitl and Elle, we hope you listen in to gain a better understanding on the intersections of sex and queer identity.Listeners will learn...How to identify the role sex plays within their livesAbout relationships between sex and gender/sexual identityHow non-inclusive sexual education is within schools in past years That sex isn't something to be ashamed ofThe importance of knowing your sexual health status and how to communicate that with a partnerThat society has made a predetermined “script” for sex and how it's suppose to look likeThat in order to advocate for your body's needs, knowing what brings you pleasure by yourself is super important before participating in a sexual actThe ways mental health can impact decision making when it comes to sexual activity.How sexual trauma can affect the stability of the individual.And finally, how sex can be used for healingTo learn more about our guests and their work, follow them on social media: @larksgrove on twitter (lark lekat), @misscarise on twitter, and Logan Sand on Facebook.

Sara and Jay are back this week to finish our discussion of justice-centered sex education! This week we discuss moral panics and also provide structure, guidance, and questions to ask yourself to build sex ed centered on trans justice. We tried to focus on offering structures, guidelines, and tangible ways you can question your own work, but there's no way we could cover everything in one show. For more on this, check out our previous episode, number 63, and also Episodes 1, 9, 11, 21, 23, 24, 34, and 53.

Let's talk about sex gaybies! Following on from Episode 8, which was mostly complaints about the state of UK sex education, I thought it would be useful to speak to someone who actually knows what they're talking about! This week my guest is local dyke and allotment owner Rosie, who works for Yorkshire MESMAC, an LGBT Sexual Health Charity. Nearly 40 years on from the start of the AIDS crisis in 1981, we discuss HIV awareness, safer sex practices, and how to navigate sexual health screenings as a queer or trans person. In typical Taurus fashion, Rosie has a delightfully wholesome agenda & the tarot segment has a queer makeover!

Sara reads her most recent article about voter suppression for Medium.com. Please vote if you can in the US on November 6th, but remember that this system will never change just from votes alone. "Voting is important work. If you are working on voting rights and access, what you do matters. However, I also need you to understand that the reasons people can’t or don’t vote are largely linked to their oppression. Until we address that underlying bigotry, voting will continue to be restricted and manipulated to oppress people who are already marginalized."

This week we talked about a few different topics that have been in community conversation lately, but part of a much longer history: bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, and polysexual as sexual identities are not transphobic. We also discuss how dating preferences are informed by cis white heteropatriarchy, challenging your own assumptions, and dealing with the difference between a bigoted preference and a response to past trauma. (As a side note, we recorded this before the hoax campaign to "drop the B" was started by 4chan and spread by other false social media accounts, but yeah... that's crap and don't share it or give them any more spotlight than it takes to debunk the memes when you see them on a friend's wall.)

Hey friends, it's Sara! Even though the show is technically still on hiatus until October, I thought it might be fun to share two performances I recently had at sex positive events. I grabbed the audio track from when I performed my monologue about my first threesome at Bedpost Confessions and also the poetry I read as a speaker at Slutwalk 2017. I hope you enjoy these quickies, and we will be back in the middle of October with another full-size episode hosted by myself and Jay. vwpagifu
