    From the vagina dentata to pleasure activism

    In this episode, we speak with Valentina Ortiz Pandolfi & Kait Scalisi about the myth of the Vagina Dentata and the connection between the voice and sexuality. Valentina shares a traditional story from the Ponca tribe & sex educator Kait of Passion by Kait weighs in. Note: You Sound Like a Girl acknowledges that not all women have vaginas & that g******s do not equal gender. This episode will focus on folks with vaginas, but as always, You Sound Like a Girl invites cis & trans women, as well as non-binary & gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women, to join the conversation.
