Small Talks: From Mental Health Journeys to LGBTQIA+ News
Description
Welcome to "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," a queer podcast that creates space to talk about all things queer.
In this episode we delve into a range of topics in our signature candid style. We start by sharing our recent experiences and personal journeys with mental health and anxiety, emphasising the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding these issues. From there, we explore pressing issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community, such as discrimination in the medical field and controversies surrounding transgender athletes.
We also touch upon significant developments, like the abolition of the Western Australian Gender Reassignment Board, which we see as a positive step towards greater recognition and acceptance of transgender individuals. And of course, we couldn't resist discussing Jojo Siwa's claim to have invented a new music genre called "gay pop." It's always fascinating to see how queer culture influences the mainstream.
Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking conversation that celebrates queerness in all its facets.
