NOT QUEER ENOUGH

In this episode, I talk with Corey More (they/them)--sex educator, sex worker, full-spectrum doula, harm reduction advocate and activist, and one of my role models. We talked about... so many things. Do trans people owe visibility to society? To the movement? What does it mean to be "legible" as a queer or trans person? How can we feel like "enough" if we don't look the way our identity is "supposed" to look? How can we begin to curate queer spaces based on shared values rather than shared aesthetics or presentations? We dive into all these questions and more.Find Corey on Instagram @coreyxmore or visit their website www.morecorey.com.Podcast theme written and composed by Jay Pinto. Find Jay on LinkedIn here.

In this episode, I speak with Fid Thompson (she/they/Fid), multidisciplinary artist and creator of the Queer Enough Portrait Project. Representing over 20 queer collaborators, Fid's portraits were featured in OUT Magazine in 2018 as well as at two gallery showings in Washington, DC., in 2018 and 2019.

In this episode, you'll hear my conversation with Capri Campeau (they/she), who you might know as the internet's Fairy Bi-Mother (or @capricampeau on IG). Capri creates affirming content geared toward cultivating a sense of belonging, kinship, and enough-ness for all queer people. Much of Capri's work focuses specifically on helping their audience deconstruct internal and external forms of biphobia. In the interview, I reference a post created by Pinar Ateş Sinopoulos-Lloyd, who you can find as @queerquechua on Instagram, or through @queernature, the project they co-create with their partner, So Sinopoulos-Lloyd (@cyperpunkecology).Podcast theme written and composed by Jay Pinto.

On this episode, Dana presents a piece of writing they created and performed for a Queer storytelling workshop series at the Seattle Reparatory Theater in Spring 2023.

Dana's piece was originally performed at Seattle Rep in May 2023 for an event called "Queer and Courageous: Stories of Existence and Resistance."
