From indoor vs. outdoor work to the Nordic model’s pitfalls, we deep dive into the real sex worker experience. Discover why sex work is a queer issue and how allyship can transform lives. We explore what sex workers truly need from the law and society. Tune in for an enlightening, candid, and a bit cheeky conversation that shatters myths and celebrates sex worker resilience.

Are we seeking male validation or is it all just comp-het? Unpack compulsory heterosexuality with Tyra Blizzard, the dynamic author and pro basketball player. We’ll explore queering relationships, smashing societal expectations, and Tyra’s own journey beyond the binary. Tune in and start deprogramming your comphet through an insightful talk into the heart of queer love and identity.

Coming out later in life can be both nerve-wracking and exhilarating. We dive into this journey with our fabulous guests, queer sex educator Eva Bloom and Toronto’s own sapphic pop diva, Ralph! From battling imposter syndrome to navigating intense first loves, we'll cover it all. Whether you're a "late bloomer" or simply queer-curious, this episode is packed with insights and a sprinkle of glitter.

We're diving headfirst into the question: Are periods solely a “women's issue”? Join the conversation as we explore the often overlooked world of trans menstruation. From unraveling the mysterious history of menstruation to empowering you with ways to degender your menstrual vocabulary, we're covering it all. Plus, we'll be sharing personal insights into the trans menstruation experience and shedding light on the critical intersections of period poverty thanks to our guest Elgin Pecjak (petz-yak) (he/him), who is a queer, trans researcher. He is finishing up his Ph.D. at University of Ottawa in Feminist and Gender Studies on the topic of reproductive technology use among transgender and gender diverse AFAB folks.

The data is clear: LGBTQ2S+ people are overrepresented at every stage of the criminal justice system and this is especially true for trans people, who are subject to particularly inhumane conditions and treatment while incarcerated. Today we’re taking a deep dive into the experience of being trans behind bars. We’re using the Canadian correctional system & our guest Moka Dawkin's story as a case study, but this reality is all too common and often worse across the globe. In Todays episode you’ll hear Moka’s story of wrongful conviction, her trans incarceration experience, and we’ll be discussing the systemic criminal justice issues that are plaguing our community.
