EP3: Meet Co-Host Jenene (Part 1): Their Journey of Gender Discovery, Androgyny, & Sexual Preference
Manage episode 381462891 series 3512302
Drawing on personal experiences, we delve into our respective journeys to self-discovery, tracing back to the mid-90s when we first grappled with the realization of our gender and sexual preferences. We fondly recall the group at 19 that served as a sanctuary in our quest for self-acceptance. This episode is an earnest recollection of the courage it took to embrace our identities in an era where being openly gay was synonymous with adversity. We reflect on the mental toll of concealing our true selves and the liberation that acceptance brought.
Delving into the complexities of gender identity and fluidity, we navigate our experiences within the LGBTQ+ community and the strides we've made to foster self-acceptance. We exchange anecdotes on being queer in a world that's still learning to accept and understand us, emphasizing the significance of communal support and championing queer businesses. We discuss our quest for safe spaces, accountability, and the importance of understanding pronouns. As we recount our journeys, we hope to empower you to embrace your identity, celebrate your victories, and find strength in your resilience.
