Episode notes

As someone who, like, obviously we both grew up in Australia, I don't think there was any queer representation in any of my curriculum growing up. Not at all. No way. And that's what the film's about. Oh my God, that's an amazing message. That is beautiful. I think we're going to bring it to schools all around Australia. This year, I'm working with Warett Purple, which is a non-for-profit queer youth organization,. We're going to try and get it to young people all around to be like, here, have this little nugget of joy.

This week we sit down for an intimate conversation with the incredible Claud Bailey, a queer film director and queer youth advocate based in Sydney, Australia to discuss what our gender and sexuality means for our 20s. We dive into the meaning of community, gender expression, the beauty of queerness and how to navigate coming of age as a queer person in the 21st century, along with the role of being a responsible and compassionate ally. Alongside this we also explore the power of rituals, the relationship between pleasure and pain and the role of beauty in enjoying our lives to the fullest. Listen now to hear more from our wonderful guest!
