Queer Sex Ed Podcast
Hosted by Queer Sex Ed Podcast · ENGLISH
Queer Sex Ed is a sex education project by and for trans people, queer people, and polyamorous people. We believe pleasure is necessary to building a kind and caring world free from racism, ableism, sexual violence, queerphobia, and trans antagonism. QSE exists to empower everyone to claim the sexual life they desire built on a foundation of communication, trust, and awareness of the power dynamics that influence interpersonal and community relationships.

Bisexual is not Transphobic and Other Responses to Memes - Queer Sex Ed Podcast: Episode 28
Jun 16, 201801:55:51Tap to summarizeThis week we talked about a few different topics that have been in community conversation lately, but part of a much longer history: bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, and polysexual as sexual identities are not transphobic. We also discuss how dating preferences are informed by cis white heteropatriarchy, challenging your own assumptions, and dealing with the difference between a bigoted preference and a response to past trauma. (As a side note, we recorded this before the hoax campaign to "drop the B" was started by 4chan and spread by other false social media accounts, but yeah... that's crap and don't share it or give them any more spotlight than it takes to debunk the memes when you see them on a friend's wall.)
