013 - Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation and Sexuality

“All of the hot ladies message me.”

Did you shop in the “wrong” section for clothes when you were a kid? How about make your Barbies all date each other? Or maybe every now and then you see a very particular person of the same gender and go “…nice” ?

*insert Kelly’s laugh here*

EXCELLENT. This week we’re talking about all things gender identity and sexuality, so get ready for a journey that’s almost always confusing, a little bit sad, but perfectly genuine.

This week’s episode starts off with our mindful babes setting the stage by going over the relevant terminology and discussing how important it is to have the language to describe ourselves. Kelly takes their time to explain what we’re talking about when we use the words and phrases “gender,” “sexuality” and “sexual orientation,” along with a super-quick 101 on why the topic of gender identity is suddenly so hot right now (albeit nowhere near “new”!)

Then Lorena shares her personal perspective on identity, particularly relating to bisexuality and how our perceptions of labels can actually cause us to invalidate ourselves and others. Kelly chimes in with their experience as a non-binary person and the hilarity involved in coming to terms later in life, including the subtle mindfuck of misgendering themselves. Both agree that either way, the best-case scenario is to let go of the ego and not centre ourselves in other people’s struggle to live authentically.

The podcast wraps up with our friends discussing the insidiousness of bisexual erasure, the unnecessary bisexual/pansexual community in-fighting, and how the hell anyone manages to legitimately flirt with womxn.
