Responding to...
A Podcast & Blog that hopes to contribute to the imagination of alternative worlds through education about gender and sexuality
Episode 24 of Responding To... a podcast where I aim to expand thinking about all things gender and sexuality, especially for an audience of older, cisgender, heterosexual, white men. In this episode I harken back to episode 19 and dip us again into the rich, educational waters of art. I read 4 poems by 4 different authors around the themes of gender, sexuality, love, and connection.

On this episode of Responding To... Old White Dudes' Questions about Gender and Sexuality, I am joined by my partner Sage to talk about something probably very few old white dudes are paying attention to - the James Charles and Tati Westbrook YouTube drama.
