    The Movement for Fat Justice (feat. Aubrey Gordon)

    The Movement for Fat Justice (feat. Aubrey Gordon)

    In this season finale, hosted by Leilah and  friend-of-the-pod Erica Sosa , the girls are geeking out cuz get to talk with one of their own favorite podcasters: AUBREY FUCKING GORDON!!
    Aubrey Gordon (also known as "Yr Fat Friend") is an author, podcaster, and activist focused on justice for fat folks. She stopped by the show for a chat about how--and why--sometimes former fat folks and former sex workers try to distance themselves from their pasts. We talk about the dangers of stigma, the realities of social pressures, and how the fight for sex workers' rights and the fight for fat peoples' rights are actually one and the same.

    The Problem With "Gold Star Lesbians"

    Whether or not you're familiar with the concept of a "gold star lesbian", we're here to discuss why it's time to let that term die. Come hang out with me and my high school friend, Frankie, for a conversation about how "gold star lesbianism" is anti-femme, anti-trans, and anti-sex worker.

    Special Announcements (+ call for filmmakers & podcasters!)

    Hi! We have some special announcements today! 
    Bad news first:
    due to scheduling conflicts, Ataraxxxia isn't able to continue here on this podcast, BUT you haven't seen the last of her! She remains super dedicated to uplifting and de-stigmatizing sex work in Latin America. She will always be a friend of this show, and she will likely appear as a guest again sometime in the future. We love you, Ata!! Follow her on Instagram here.
    Updates to the show:
    For now, we'll be releasing episodes every two weeks while Leilah searches for grants, sponsorship, and any other funding that may be available to this podcast. We aren't going anywhere; we're just taking a slight step back while we figure out how to take some big leaps forward.
    Calling queer, femme, or sex working filmmakers & podcasters!

Leilah is a fantastic podcast host!!!

I started listening to this podcast a year ago, and I look forward to new episodes so much and have listened to episodes more than once! This podcast is a MUST LISTEN if you are in the adult industry, but even if you aren’t, it is still a must listen for all people who identify as women and feminists! Leilah is a great host who asks her guests such thoughtful questions and she always has interesting, important topics to discuss, such as feminism, relationships, body positivity, racism, misogyny, mental health, and more. Leilah brings so much unique life experience to this podcast. This podcast is a safe space for all SW-ers, feminists, and women! You don’t need to be a SW-er to still learn so much valuable information from this podcast!
