Secular Sexuality 07.15 2020-04-16 with Christy Powell, Vi La Bianca, & Other Guests

Mailbag episode! We have several friends on to help us answer
emails, and field a few calls in between. Our hair is getting wild
and wooly. Which breaks first- the quarantine or will we finally
give in and cut our own hair?

First up, we have an email about sapiosexuality. Is not even a
thing right? If we start letting all these made up identifiers in,
won’t it allow the heterosexuals to sneak into queer spaces? (I
doubt it.) Shannon Q clarifies and expands on her answer from a
previous episode.

Next, Serafina Smith responds to an email from a listener who has
always identified as male and is now questioning their gender. Can
you really be nonbinary or female if you have masculine hobbies, a
beard, or even a deep voice?

Caller Sean’s friend is both gay and religious. He knows that he’s
going to heaven, but is awfully quick to tell others that they’re
going to hell. How do you deal with such double mindedness?

Jordan calls in to ask questions about Transexuality. Why do people
want to identify as something else? Is it all in their heads? Does
it even matter? Is gender a spectrum?

Rachel from Atheist Vanguard answers email - I’m going to meet my
friend’s significant other who’s in the middle of transitioning-
what can I do to be welcoming to her? Rachel recommends to Ask
Transgender on Reddit!

Bob calls in- he’s a non offending pedophile, talking about it for
the first time. He’s in the heart of the bible belt, and it’s hard
to find a good therapist. Self Care is hard when you’re taking care
of everyone else.

Last caller Drew is trans and “low-key disowned” by their God
fearing Baptist parents. They want to transition medically , but
may get cut off from their family entirely if they do. To
complicate matters, they have a younger sibling they want to stay
in contact with.

Finally, the last email is read by Objectively Dan. Emailee is a bi
woman dating a man. She’s interested in dating women, he’s brought
up having a threesome. Also, her parents are Catholic. No easy
answers here!
