Gender F*ck Daniel Griffiths and Oliver Ellis

Hello and welcome back to one of our best episodes yet, where we discuss menstrual equity with our incredible guest Rosie Glaser (she/they)! 

Rosie Glaser is a Master of Public Health Candidate at the Colorado School of Public Health. They currently work in the Center for Women’s and Gender Equity at UNC where they work within a collective to continue developing the menstrual equity program that they created as an undergraduate student Project M.E. 

They are also a NASPA certified sexual health peer educator, a Survivor’s Advocate with the Assault Survivor’s Advcocacy Program, and the Wellbeing Research Intern at the Center for Peer Education, and coincidentally- a huge fan of Genderf*ck! Rosie is passionate about understanding health disparities, and informing systemic care for all menstruating bodies.

(editors notes from Dan: 1. sorry about my voice, I was started to get sick when we recorded this and it shows 2. sorry for ANOTHER intro song change, I'll stop now)

Welcome back! In today's episode, we talk STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) - symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, stigma, and a lil bit of history. We also discuss different modes of testing between in-person clinics and online testing, as well as our own experiences with STIs! There's lots of stigma and misinformation about STIs, but most can be easily treated/managed, and they are nothing to be ashamed of :)

Thanks for listening!

[Dan] - Sorry my audio is a bit bad this week! Totally my bad, I hope you enjoy it anyway!

In today's episode, we're joined by special guest Lam Captan, a good friend of Dan from uni, to talk about her experiences and knowledge about religious trauma. We discuss what it is, how it may impact people, the effects on queer people specifically, and how some people reclaim their religion while embracing their sexual orientation or gender identity. We hope you enjoyed today's episode, we thought it was super interesting!
