Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Anna Baeth and Ellie Roscher, co-authors of Fair Game: Trans Athletes and the Future of Sports, to unpack one of the most heated debates in the world right now: trans athletes in sport.

Are transgender athletes “taking over” women’s sports?
Are they stealing scholarships and medals?
Is it really about fairness and safety, or is something else going on?

We break down the biggest lies circulating in the media and politics, and look at what the actual research says. Spoiler: trans athletes make up less than 1% of participants, yet hundreds of laws have been proposed to exclude them.

In this episode we explore:

  • The data behind trans athlete participation
  • Why the “fairness” argument doesn’t hold up
  • How moral panic is manufactured
  • The role of patriarchy and capitalism in sport
  • Why controlling trans bodies is part of a bigger political agenda
  • How trans athletes can actually help create a better, more inclusive sporting future

We also talk about lived experience, what it feels like to move through sport in a transitioning body, the anxiety around locker rooms, and why movement and play are a human right.

This episode is about more than sport. It’s about bodily autonomy, media misinformation, political fear-mongering, and what happens when we actually listen to trans athletes instead of talking about them.

If you care about transgender rights, women’s sport, LGBTQIA+ inclusion, or the future of athletics, this is a conversation you need to hear.

🎧 Listen in and find out the truth about trans atheletes in sports... and until next time, stay perfectly queer!

Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.

In this episode, we dive into a fascinating and often forgotten part of queer history: female husbands of the 18th and 19th centuries. These were people assigned female at birth who lived as men, married women, and built lives that challenged the rigid gender norms of their time.

We explore real historical cases, what the term “female husband” meant in its historical context, and how these stories connect to modern conversations about gender identity, trans history, and queer survival. And what can their lives teach us about how gender has always been more complex than society admits?

This episode unpacks:

  • What “female husbands” were in historical records
  • How people navigated gender and identity before modern labels
  • The risks and consequences they faced
  • How queer and trans history has been recorded (and erased)
  • Why these stories still matter today

If you love queer history, transgender history, and LGBTQIA+ stories that challenge what we think we know about the past, this episode is for you.

Because queer history didn’t start recently, it’s always been here.

Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.

To wrap up a huge season, we ditch the script entirely and spin a wheel of random, funny, and unexpectedly deep queer questions. From pop culture hot takes to queer nostalgia, internet debates, and reflecting on our own experiences, this episode is about ending the season on a lighter, more playful note, without ignoring the real conversations that matter.

In this finale episode, we chat about:

  • Whether you can be queer and still support JK Rowling
  • If Taylor Swift is a queer icon or just brilliant at marketing
  • Straight actors playing queer roles, does it matter?
  • Queer childhood crushes and why they say so much about us
  • Why lesbians love carabiners 
  • The queerest animals, drag names we never used, and chaotic pop culture opinions

After a year filled with big conversations about queer history, trans rights, misinformation, media narratives, and politics, this episode was a lighter take on everything that is happening out there right now. 

No prep. No rules. Just two queer hosts, a spinning wheel, what could possibly go wrong?

Thank you for supporting us through Season 3...and until next time, we hope we’ve been perfectly queer 🌈

Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.

In this week’s episode of Let’s Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, we dive into Polari, the secret language used by gay men, drag performers, theatre performers and queer communities across Britain before homosexuality was decriminalised.

This hidden language wasn’t just camp fun, it was a tool for safety, identity, and resistance in a world where being queer could land you in prison.

Polari wasn’t just slang, it was survival!

We explore:

Where Polari came from — from theatre slang to sailor speak to criminal cant
How queer people used it to avoid police and persecution
Iconic Polari words (vada, bona, eek, nanti, zhoosh) and what they actually mean
Why queer-coded languages appear in oppressed communities worldwide
Why Polari matters today — and how it keeps resurfacing in pop culture, drag, and queer history

This episode is a fun, campy, heartfelt celebration of queer resilience, language, and the ways LGBTQ+ communities have always found ways to stay connected even in the shadows.

If you’re a history nerd, a linguistics lover, or just fabulosa at heart… this one’s for you.

Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.

In this episode, we sit down with advocate, author and podcaster Todd Rennebohm to unpack one of Canada’s most heated political battlegrounds: Saskatchewan’s so-called “trans agenda.”

Todd, a white cisgender straight man walks us through the province’s recent policies targeting transgender students, the backlash against queer-inclusive education, and how far-right rhetoric is shaping school environments across Canada. We dig into what’s actually happening on the ground, the dangerous myths driving these laws, and why families, teachers, and allies are pushing back.

From lawsuits and “parental rights” arguments to the weaponisation of misinformation, Todd discusses who is really behind this movement and his podcast series Transgression - My Search For the REAL Trans Agenda in Saskatchewan. 

🌈 We also explore:

  • Saskatchewan’s pronoun policies and their real impact on students
  • How anti-trans narratives mirror global political strategies
  • Why “protecting children” is being used to harm queer youth
  • What allies can do to support trans students in hostile school systems
  • The power of local activism & queer community resilience

This conversation isn’t just about Saskatchewan, it’s about a global tactic to erase trans lives. And Todd is here to help us understand it, challenge it, and build something better.

In this episode of Let’s Be Perfectly Queer, we sit down with Professor Paula Gerber, one of Australia’s leading human rights scholars and a fierce advocate for LGBTQIA+ equality. Paula shares her incredible journey from working in a male-dominated construction law firm to becoming a key voice in protecting queer and trans rights through law and education.

We dive into her book Sex, Gender and Identity: Trans Rights in Australia and unpack what it means to “turn the tide on a climate of hatred.” From tackling misinformation in the media to highlighting real stories of love, resilience, and progress, Paula explores how Australia compares to the UK, The US and are neighbouring countries in protecting trans and gender-diverse people.

We also discuss:

  • Why Australia’s legal protections for trans people matter
  • How the media fuels fear instead of understanding
  • Positive trans stories the news ignores
  • What allies can do to truly support trans and gender-diverse communities
  • The importance of the Asia-Pacific fight for LGBTQIA+ rights
  • Why inclusion still makes a difference

Paula also shares her personal turning point, a life-changing accident that pushed her to leave corporate law behind and dedicate her life to equality and human rights.

This is a powerful, insightful, and hopeful conversation about how we can all stand up for fairness, inclusion, and love no matter who we are or where we live.

Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBTQ+ Australian podcast for all things queer.

In this episode, we ask the ultimate question: is Wicked The Musical actually queer? 

With the release of the new Wicked movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, we unpack the queer subtext, LGBTQ+ themes, and history behind one of the world’s most beloved musicals.

From The Wizard of Oz’s hidden queer roots to Gregory Maguire’s original novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, we explore how this story became a metaphor for otherness, identity, and queer love.

We talk about:
 ✨ The queer subtext between Elphaba and Glinda, were they more than friends?
 🌈 The LGBTQ+ symbolism behind The Wizard of Oz and “Friends of Dorothy”
💬 How author Gregory Maguire’s own identity shaped the story
🎭 Why Wicked still resonates with queer audiences two decades later
💚 How art, theatre, and representation can create belonging for LGBTQIA+ people

So whether you cried during “For Good,” grew up loving Wicked, or just want to understand why queer fans feel so connected to Oz, this one’s for you.

With the release of the new Wicked movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, we unpack the queer subtext, LGBTQ+ themes, and history behind one of the world’s most beloved musicals.

From The Wizard of Oz’s hidden queer roots to Gregory Maguire’s original novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, we explore how this story became a metaphor for otherness, identity, and queer love.

We talk about:
 ✨ The queer subtext between Elphaba and Glinda, were they more than friends?
 🌈 The LGBTQ+ symbolism behind The Wizard of Oz and “Friends of Dorothy”
💬 How author Gregory Maguire’s own identity shaped the story
🎭 Why Wicked still resonates with queer audiences two decades later
💚 How art, theatre, and representation can create belonging for LGBTQIA+ people

So whether you cried during “For Good,” grew up loving Wicked, or just want to understand why queer fans feel so connected to Oz, this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen in and learn about the queer subtext behind Wicked The Musical ... and until next time, stay perfectly queer!

Welcome to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.

This week's we're back with one of our favourite segments "Queer and A". This is where we dive into Reddit's "Ask LGBT" threads to answer questions in the good old reddit way.

In this episode, we're tackling a range of topics:

  • Queer Allyship: Can a straight, cisgender guy paint his nails with a rainbow for Pride without it being cultural appropriation? We weigh in, sharing our thoughts and some of the top Reddit comments on the subject.
  • Family Dynamics: A trans woman asks for advice on dealing with her sister, who uses her kids as an excuse for her transphobic behavior. We discuss setting boundaries with family and the importance of not "making yourself smaller to appease her".
  • Internalised Homophobia: A 17-year-old girl struggling with her own internalized homophobia asks for advice and resources to become "more of an ally to myself". 
  • Toxic Relationships: We get real about a bisexual woman's dilemma: her boyfriend is "a little homophobic," using slurs and making her feel uncomfortable

We also share some important news about a new report from LGBTQ rights group, OutRight International, revealing that politicians worldwide used anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in their campaigns last year. We reflect on the progress our community has made despite the current political climate, noting that LGBTQ people have more support and organizations now than ever before.

We also give you our opinion on "Lesbian Space Princess" currently playing in Luna Cinemas across Australia. 


🎧 Grab your headphones and join us as we step into a world where Reddit questions help us feel less alone… and until next time, stay perfectly queer!

Welcome to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.

This week, we’re diving into a hidden piece of queer history Casa Susanna.

Back in the 1950s and ’60s, when living authentically could get you arrested, Susanna Valenti and her wife, Marie Tonell, opened their home to transgender women. It was a safe place for guests where they could live as themselves with no fear and no judgment.

But before we get there, we’re also unpacking what’s been going on in Australian sport with the AFL’s latest homophobic slur scandal. We have a discussion about the culture around men’s sport, and why Mitch Brown coming out as bisexual is such a big deal.

Here’s what we cover in this ep:
🏉 The AFL scandal and how supporters use “sledging” as a Homophobia excuse
🌈 Mitch Brown’s the first AFL player past or present to come out as Bisexual
🏠 The story of Casa Susanna and the people who found sanctuary there

It’s history, sport, and queer resilience all rolled into one episode, plus a few tangents along the way (you know us).

🎧 Grab your headphones and join us as we step into a world where being yourself was radical...and until next time, stay perfectly queer!

  • How gender-affirming care improves mental health outcomes
  • What the Australian medical guidelines actually say
  • What YOU can do to support trans youth today

This is the episode to send to that misinformed coworker, worried parent, or confused politician. Let’s cut through the fear and be perfectly clear.

This week, in our LGBT Australian Podcast Let's Be Perfectly Queer:

Can you be bisexual and still believe in God?

In this episode of Let’s Be Perfectly Queer, Archie sits down with bisexual author and poet Henry Corrigan, whose latest queer horror novella Somewhere Quiet, Full of Light has made waves in LGBTQ+ literary circles.

Together, they explore Henry’s journey growing up Catholic, navigating religious ideas, and his decision to read the Bible cover to cover. From confronting outdated beliefs to finding unexpected hope in scripture, Henry shares how his bisexual identity and spiritual path can be intertwined.


In this episode, hear about:

  • Henry’s bestselling queer horror fiction
  • The history behind biblical interpretations of homosexuality
  • How the Bible has evolved through centuries and cultures
  • Misconceptions around Sodom & Gomorrah, Leviticus, and divine wrath
  • Henry's favourite person from the bible.
  • Henry’s powerful call for compassion, accountability, and progress in faith communities
  • How queerness and spirituality can coexist 

"...reading the Bible is like talking to an older relative and getting their perspective on things. Some of it's good, some of it's bad. You can't take it as whole cloth. You've got to take it with a grain of salt and choose which teachings, which are the better teachings you want to follow"

Plus: Archie and Henry unpack how queer people are often hurt most by those who claim to act in God’s name and how reclaiming faith can be an act of resistance and radical self-love.

  • How queerness and spirituality can coexist 

"...reading the Bible is like talking to an older relative and getting their perspective on things. Some of it's good, some of it's bad. You can't take it as whole cloth. You've got to take it with a grain of salt and choose which teachings, which are the better teachings you want to follow"

Plus: Archie and Henry unpack how queer people are often hurt most by those who claim to act in God’s name and how reclaiming faith can be an act of resistance and radical self-love.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What is Minus18 and why this survey matters
  • Key stats from 2,700+ LGBTQIA+ young people across Australia
  • Why visibility is powerful, but not always safe
  • The role of teachers, schools, and support systems
  • Queer joy: stories that made us feel

This week, in our LGBT Australian Podcast Let's Be Perfectly Queer. We discuss JoJo Siwa and Fletcher. Are they rebranding or retreating? 

As both artists make moves that spark conversation, changing names, scrubbing socials, and shifting their public image. We explore what it means to be visibly queer in the spotlight, especially during Pride Month. Is this a personal evolution, or a quiet fade-out at a time when visibility is more important than ever?

Then we rewind the clock with a quick crash course on the history of the word queer. Once used as a slur, queer has been reclaimed as a bold, inclusive identity by many—but not all. We explore its complex journey from insult to empowerment, and why it still sparks strong feelings within our community.

We get into:

  • Jojo Siwa & Chris Hughes
  • Fletcher's rebranding in Pride month
  • Why some platforms flagged our podcast title
  • The difference between reclaiming and erasing
  • How queer creates space without forcing a label
  • Why some still avoid the word—and why that matters

This one’s part pop culture, part personal, and all queer.

🎧 So grab your headphones, hit play and discuss with us... and until next time, stay perfectly queer!

We are an LGBT podcast and on this episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer, we're diving into the politics of queer visibility — from Pride bans to census questions — and how the fight to be seen is far from over.

We’re breaking down everything from the importance of LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Australian census to the backlash against Pride flags in Utah, and what’s really going on with Hungary’s recent Pride event ban.

Here’s what we cover in this ep:

  • Why being counted in the census is about more than numbers – it’s about rights
  • Hungary’s Pride ban
  • Utah’s attempt to hide LGBTQIA+ flags
  • Puppet politics?? Yep – we’re talking Bert & Ernie and The Wiggles
  • Intersex inclusion, identity labels, and why terminology still matters

Ever heard of the Lesbian Avengers? No, they don’t fight aliens (though honestly, we’d watch that), but they do fight for queer rights!

In this episode, we’re throwing it back to the radical roots of queer activism and shining a spotlight on the Lesbian Avengers – a group that didn’t just talk about change, they ate fire to demand it (literally).

We’re talking bold and brilliantly queer protests, and how groups like the Lesbian Avengers and Dykes on Bikes paved the way for the visibility and rights we have today. But don’t worry, it’s not all history class – we’re discussing our takes on what’s happening right now too.

Here’s what we cover in this ep:

  • The state of trans rights in the UK 
  • How growing up queer in small towns hits different – and how community helps
  • Celebrity allies like Robert De Niro
  • The legacy of groups like the Lesbian Avengers and how their unapologetic activism changed the game
  • The Stan Original Series The Invisible Boys

🎧 So grab your headphones, hit play, and join us as we celebrate the power of creative protest and the importance of visibility in this episode.

Hey Let's Be Perfectly Queer Fam! – Archie and Katie here! This week, we’re chatting with the amazing Wendy Cole, a transition mentor and coach who’s been making her mark in the trans community. Wendy takes us on a journey through her experience of transitioning in 2015, and we dive deep into how far we've come and how much work still needs to be done for trans folks, especially when it comes to support.


In this episode, Wendy opens up about:

  • The lack of support she faced when she transitioned and what the underground trans experience used to look like
  • Why gender identity and sexual orientation are hardwired in our brains, and how society often gets it wrong
  • The UK Supreme Court’s controversial stance on biological sex and what that means for trans rights
  • How Wendy is changing perspectives by bridging the gap between cisgender and transgender people through open conversations

Plus, we touch on some seriously important topics, like the importance of unity within the LGBTQ+ community, the challenges trans women face, and why it’s so crucial to educate cisgender people.

We get real about the struggles, but also the strength and resilience that come from embracing who we truly are. Wendy’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to be yourself and to start living your truth, no matter how hard it seems.

🎧 Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation and let’s keep building a world of love, acceptance, and understanding. Catch us wherever you get your podcasts!

Until next time, we hope we’ve been perfectly queer,

We’re diving into the concept of queer time — how LGBTQ+ folks often live outside traditional timelines. From transitioning and relationships to work and family, we talk non-linear journeys, pop culture icons, and why you’re not behind — you’re just on your own path. 


Hey Let's Be Perfectly Queer Fam! – Archie and Katie here! This week, we’re diving headfirst into the concept of queer time — a term that might sound academic, but trust us, it’s something we’ve all felt.

Ever looked around and thought, “Why does everyone else seem further ahead in life?” Whether it’s transitioning later in life, coming out after 30, or skipping traditional milestones like marriage and kids, queer folks often walk a different path. And that’s not just okay — it’s powerful.


In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why queer timelines don’t follow society’s rules
  • Transitioning and how it reshapes your life milestones
  • Missing or delaying things like sex ed, first relationships, or starting a family
  • What feminism has to do with all this
  • The emotional impact of feeling “behind”
  • And how to embrace your own unique, non-linear timeline


We also get a little geeky (Doctor Who fans, we see you 👀), share pop culture moments from Elliot Page to Kristen Stewart, and shout out icons like Jack Halberstam, Cher, Ian McKellen and more who’ve lived their queer truth on their own terms.

Whether you’re just starting to explore your identity or you’ve been out for decades, this episode is a reminder: you’re not late — you’re on queer time.

🎧 Tune in wherever you get your podcasts, leave us a review, and support us on Patreon if you can.

We love hearing from you — share your own #QueerTime story with us on socials!

Until next time we hope that we have been Perfectly queer,

Hey, Let's Be Perfectly Queer fam! This week, we’re diving deep into a topic that affects so many in our community—our relationships with food, body image, and the toxic grip of diet culture.

We’re joined by Claire, a passionate dietitian and eating disorder clinician (who is also Queer!), to unpack how queerness intersects with body expectations, weight stigma, and the never-ending pressure to fit into societal norms. From the harmful effects of public health messaging to the struggles of navigating medical spaces, we’re getting real about the unique challenges we face.

🔹 What we’re unpacking this episode:
🍽️ Diet culture and weight stigma 
💜 The intersection of queerness, body image, and mental health
⚕️ Finding an inclusive and affirming healthcare provider
🚫 Breaking the cycle: Why food isn’t “good” or “bad” and how to ditch the guilt
🏳️‍🌈 Why body neutrality might be a better goal than body positivity

Claire also shares some tips on rebuilding a healthy relationship with food and how to seek support without judgment. If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable in your body, struggled with food rules, or just want to learn how to be a better ally to those navigating these challenges—this episode is for you.

💌 We want to hear from you! DM us or email letsbeperfectlyqueerpod@gmail.com and tell us:

  • How has queerness shaped your experience with body image?
  • What’s one piece of advice you’d give your younger self about food and self-acceptance?

You deserve to take up space, to eat with joy, and to exist without shame.

Hey there, our wonderful Let's Be Perfectly Queer family! In this episode we’re diving into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) childhood moments that hinted at our queerness long before we had the words to describe it.

But first, big news! Western Australia just announced a $2.25 million funding boost for LGBTQIA+ services. We break down what this means, why it’s crucial, and how it helps bridge funding gaps for queer communities.

Next up, we get personal—talking about disclosure, representation, and the impact of visibility in everyday life. From missed opportunities to moments of growth, we reflect on how representation (or the lack of it) shapes our experiences and helps combat misinformation.


🎮 The Main Event: Childhood Signs of Queerness
✨ Always picking the male characters in PlayStation games? Check.
🔥 Crushing on Kim Possible, Esmeralda, or some very specific animated characters? Double check.
📺 Queer Coding in Media – How films, TV shows, and books influenced our self-discovery.
⚠️ Toxic Tropes vs. Healthy Representation – Why it matters how queerness is portrayed in media.

Every queer journey is unique—so if our experiences don’t match yours, that’s okay! Queerness exists in a vast, beautiful spectrum, and there’s no right or wrong way to be you.



💌 We want to hear from you! DM us or email letsbeperfectlyqueerpod@gmail.com and tell us:

  • What childhood moment made you go, “Ohhh… I was definitely queer”?
  • Which queer-coded character shaped your self-discovery?

In this episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer, we’re suiting up to tackle queer representation in the Marvel and DC universes. From Wiccan and America Chavez to Loki and Mystique, we break down who’s repping the LGBTQ+ community in Marvel and DC—and where these mega-franchises still need to do better.

But first, Katie spills all about recent queer events in Perth, including Fringe, Perth Fest, and Craft in the Park hosted by Pride Shed, a cozy monthly gathering where queer folks craft, connect, and, apparently, darn socks (shoutout to Kevin!).

We also tackle some hard-hitting global LGBTQ+ news—like Hungary’s Pride ban and the impact of politics on identity. Plus, we chat about the Australian PM showing up at Mardi Gras and why political support (or lack thereof) matters for the queer community. 

It's also Western Australian State Elections so we are reminding everyone to get out and vote!

The Main Event: Queer Superheroes & Villains in Marvel & DC

💥 Wiccan, Agatha, Batwoman, America Chavez, Iceman, Loki, Deadpool & More! – Which characters bring authentic LGBTQ+ stories to the big screen, and who’s getting erased?
🔥 Straight-Washing & Tokenism – When studios downplay or erase queer identities in mainstream films.
🎭 Comic vs. Film Representation – Why are some characters queerer in the comics than in the movies?
💡 Why Representation Matters – The impact of positive queer storytelling in superhero media.



We love hearing from you! 💌 Drop us a DM or email us at letsbeperfectlyqueerpod@gmail.com and let us know:

  • What queer characters deserve more screen time?

  • How conversion therapy affects mental health and self-worth.

  • The role of education, community, and empowerment in healing.

In this episode, we delve into our experiences at PrideFEST, a 10-day extravaganza of incredible events. We watched the Cricket Uni Pride round, got dressed up for the AGWA Pride Ball, attended the Pride opening at the Piazza, joined Perth Front Runners for a medal-worthy walk, met some of you at Fair Day, went to PICA After Dark and soaked in the vibrant atmosphere of the parade. This November has been a celebration of love, diversity, and the power of community.

Now, let's switch gears a bit. We have an exciting interview lined up with Antony, a participant in the groundbreaking LGBTQ+ reality dating show Boyscation Too. Anthony shares with us his experiences on the show, including the challenges and growth he experienced.

So, what are you waiting for? Tune in now to Let's Be Perfectly Queer and join us as we share our PrideFEST adventures and dive deep into the extraordinary world of Boyscation Too with Antony.

In this episode, Katie will be reacting to some truly heart-wrenching homophobic comments we stumbled upon on a local brand's social media post. These comments were downright disgusting, and we'll be sharing a few examples (with warning!) to shed light on the ongoing challenges faced by our LGBTQ+ community. Stay tuned for Katie's responses! 

We also want to take a moment to remind you about the upcoming Pride events in Perth. Despite the hate and negativity some may express, Pride is a celebration of love, acceptance, and the fight against discrimination. We are proud to promote these events and stand with the LGBTQ+ community.

In addition to our podcast, we have some exciting events on the horizon. On the 17th of November, we'll be joining Fair Day, a vibrant Pride market event with amazing food, products, art exhibitions, and entertainment. Make sure to mark your calendars.

We understand that social transitioning can be a complex and sometimes daunting process. That's why we provide valuable tips for a positive social transition, including taking it at your own pace, practicing self-care, and seeking support. We believe that everyone's journey is unique, and we accept and celebrate that diversity.

In today's episode, we dive into some news and explore the history of the rainbow flag. But before we get into that, we catch up with each other and discuss recent events like the annual Vic Park Pride fundraising event Perth Barn dance.

Moving on to the news segment, we discuss the Australian government's decision to exclude LGBTQIA questions from the 2026 census, which has faced backlash and criticism from advocates. 

After the news segment, we finally delve into the history and significance of the rainbow flag, which was designed by US gay activist Gilbert Baker in 1978. Inspired by the power of symbols like the US flag, Baker wanted a new symbol that represented the LGBTQIA+ community. We discuss the colors and meanings behind each stripe on the original flag and how it gained prominence as the symbol for LGBTQIA+ pride. We also mention other flags such as the Bisexual pride flag and Transgender pride flag.

If you want to dive into the rich history and significance of the rainbow flag, and learn all about the sister flags that represent our diverse community, then hop on board this episode.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode touches on the topic of suicide. Please listen with care, and remember to prioritise your well-being.

Welcome to "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," In today's episode we talk about the Lavender Scare, a dark and twisted story from the depths of American history. Have you ever heard of it? If not, you're in for a mind-blowing journey. 

Picture this: the 1950s, Washington, DC, and an underground power flowing through the halls of government. But we're not talking about superheroes here, we're talking about supervillains fueled by paranoia and fear of homosexuals infiltrating the government. This was the Lavender Scare. 

President Dwight D. Eisenhower even signed an executive order labeling homosexuals as a security risk. Can you believe it? Lives were shattered, careers were destroyed, all because of fear and discrimination. 

Join us as we delve into the stories of those affected and explore the parallels between the Lavender Scare and present-day injustices. 

Discrimination and hatred still persist, but through knowledge and progress, we can strive for a more inclusive and accepting future. So, join us now as we unlock the secrets of the Lavender Scare and shine a light on a dark chapter in queer history.

Also if you want to be a part of our podcast outro, send us a voice note saying "Perfectly Queer" in your language. Together, let's create a world where being Queer is celebrated, not feared. Let's be Perfectly Queer!

CONTENT WARNING: This episode touches on the topic of suicide. Please listen with care, and remember to prioritise your well-being.

Welcome to "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," In today's episode we talk about the Lavender Scare, a dark and twisted story from the depths of American history. Have you ever heard of it? If not, you're in for a mind-blowing journey. 

Picture this: the 1950s, Washington, DC, and an underground power flowing through the halls of government. But we're not talking about superheroes here, we're talking about supervillains fueled by paranoia and fear of homosexuals infiltrating the government. This was the Lavender Scare. 

President Dwight D. Eisenhower even signed an executive order labeling homosexuals as a security risk. Can you believe it? Lives were shattered, careers were destroyed, all because of fear and discrimination. 

Join us as we delve into the stories of those affected and explore the parallels between the Lavender Scare and present-day injustices. 

Discrimination and hatred still persist, but through knowledge and progress, we can strive for a more inclusive and accepting future. So, join us now as we unlock the secrets of the Lavender Scare and shine a light on a dark chapter in queer history.

Also if you want to be a part of our podcast outro, send us a voice note saying "Perfectly Queer" in your language. Together, let's create a world where being Queer is celebrated, not feared. Let's be Perfectly Queer!



Topics Discussed:

- Kamala Harris and the potential for LGBTQ+ progress

- The Lavender Scare: history, key players, and impact

- LGBTQ+ discrimination and parallels with the present day


Entities Mentioned:

- Kamala Harris

- Senator Joseph McCarthy

- Roy Cohn

In this episode of "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," I am joined by special guest Frank New, a Queer, non-binary artist and fashion researcher based in New York. Frank, who holds a master's degree in costume studies from New York University, discusses the Queer story of Barbie, being on the second edition cover of "Queer Style" and also touched on the current PhD research they are conducting. 

We explore the history of Queer dolls, including Gay Bob and the accidental release of the "gay Ken" doll by Mattel in 1993. Frank delves into the relationship between Barbie and Queer designers, such as Bob Mackie, Billy Boy and Jeremy Scott, and the impact of Queer fashion on doll design. 

In addition to all the Queer doll history, Frank shares personal stories of their own journey. From childhood experiences of playing with dolls secretly to embracing their passion for fashion without conforming to gender expectations, Frank's story is empowering and inspiring.

On this episode we delve into the subject of Transgender athletes in sport. 

We also share the story of Trudy, a Trans woman who has joined an LGBTQIA+ netball club where she finally feels comfortable. We follow her journey as her team encounters a situation where the opposing team breaks the rules and challenges Trudy's identity.

Through Trudy's experience, we highlight the importance of inclusivity in sports and encourage gender-diverse individuals to participate without fear or hesitation. The episode also addresses common misconceptions about transgender athletes.

We explore the impact and relevance of this issue in recent years, shedding light on the complexities of hormone therapy, different physical attributes, and the need for clear policies to ensure fair and inclusive competition. We also challenge the discriminatory arguments against trans athletes, emphasising the harm caused by exclusion and the benefits of fostering a supportive and diverse sporting community.

We have a very special guest joining me today, the incredibly talented comic creator all the way from Montevideo, Uruguay, Bijan Agha! 

Bijan kicks off the episode by introducing us to their captivating comic book, Kobra Olympus Time Wars. As we dive into the world of comics, we explore how they artfully combine literature and cinematic elements, giving us the perfect blend of reality and intimate details of a character's interior life.

Bijan shares their personal journey with comics, from their childhood experiences with golden and silver age editions to how Wonder Woman shaped their moral philosophy as a Queer artist. Did you know that the creator of Wonder Woman, Charles Moulton, was a psychiatrist and one of the inventors of the lie detector test? And get this, Moulton, his wife, and their girlfriend were in a polyamorous triad!

But it doesn't end there, my friends. Bijan takes us on a thrilling ride as we dive into the subversive world of comic book creation. They share their collaboration process with the talented artist swaptrap, found through the wonders of the internet. 

Throughout the episode, Bijan opens our eyes to the power of comics as a visual medium. They discuss the unique features like thought bubbles that give us invaluable insight into a character's thoughts. They also share their inspiration from comic creators like Harvey Picar and the impact of their Iranian and Danish background on their storytelling approach.

Don't wait, my fabulous friends. Grab your capes, put on your mask, and join us on this exhilarating journey through the world of Queer comic creation. The links and information about Bijan and their comics will be provided in the episode notes. And remember, supporting independent creators like Bijan is the future of comics, so keep an eye out for their Kickstarter campaign starting on June 1, 2024.



Topics Discussed:

1. Love for comics as a blend of literature and cinema.

2. Bijan's childhood experience with golden and silver age comics.

3. Influence of Wonder Woman and Charles Moulton.

Small Talks: What is IDAHOBIT? Send us a message

In this episode of "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," we delve into the significance of International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). We'll explore its history and its profound connection to the LGBTQIA community, including why the May 17th date is so significant

Despite the strides we've made, discrimination and violence against our community persist. Instances of police violence, non-consensual medical procedures, and the  lack of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in government research highlight the ongoing challenges we face.

It's crucial for us to educate ourselves on diversity, discrimination, and the creation of safe spaces. There are actionable steps we can take to support our community, such as wearing pride pins, advocating for LGBTQIA+ inclusivity in our workplaces, and supporting queer artists and businesses.

Promoting awareness and inclusivity is essential in helping individuals struggling with their identity feel safe and accepted. Let's come together to celebrate IDAHOBIT, share our experiences, and contribute to the collective effort of building a world free from discrimination.

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.




Topics discussed:

- Recent experiences at the local toy fair and the struggle with change

- Mental illness and seeking help for anxiety

- Discrimination faced by non-binary trainee doctors 

- Transgender athletes and the need for individual understanding 

- The Western Australian Gender Reassignment Board being abolished 

- Authenticity and risks associated with incorrect gender markers

- Jojo Siwa, gay pop, and the controversy surrounding her song "Karma"

In this episode of "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," we are your hosts Archie and Katie  and we are diving into a wide range of topics within the Queer community in another Queer & A episode.

On this episode we discus the challenges of finding motivation and balance after taking a break. We also explore the world of dating apps like Hinge, sharing their own experiences and discussing the meanings behind terms like "Nepo" and "Rizz."

We also share our frustrations with the commercialisation of op shopping and the unfairness of resellers profiting off others' generosity.

Moving onto queer representation, the hosts recount their experience at a dog show and the sense of belonging they felt within the community. We even touch on the amusing topic of "dog dancing" or "dancing with dogs."

[16:28] We get into our actual episode topic with our first question that looks at the differences between bisexuality and pansexuality, emphasising the importance of understanding personal attractions without adhering to stereotypes.

Throughout the episode, we share personal stories, insights, and even some laughs.

So tune in to "Let's Be Perfectly Queer" for an engaging and enlightening conversation on all things Queer!

This week on Let’s Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, we debunk and unpack the problematic Channel 7 Spotlight: De-Transitioning. Archie watched the show so you don't have to. In this episode we discuss the misinformation and harm that this media segment has caused.

We start by recapping the misinformation and controversy surrounding the segment, we critique the segment to spare our listeners from emotional distress. We also criticise the media's treatment of the LGBTQIA+ community as second-rate citizens for views and discuss how the segment exploits a marginalised group to manipulate public perception. 

In this episode we again debunk false claims and provide a nuanced perspective on topics like starting hormones, surgeries, regret rates, and support for transitioning individuals. We highlight the unethical manipulation and lack of representation in the segment while discussing the impact of media on public opinion and the need for more accurate information on Transgender healthcare. 



Topics discussed: 

- Channel Seven Detransitioning segment

- Media manipulation and exploitation

- Autonomy and inclusivity in social transitioning

- Support for transitioning individuals

- Regret rates and satisfaction in transitioning

- Comparison with other surgical procedures 

- Transphobia, discrimination, and hate towards transgender individuals

- Media's influence on public opinion

- Channel Seven's lack of regret and narrative manipulation

 So, what have we been up to? Well, we recently threw an epic Halloween party that was utterly spook-tacular, and we also cheered on our beloved Matildas during the Asian cup qualifiers. Not only did we witness some mind-blowing games, but we even caught the pre-games action, making it a double dose of pure sports awesomeness.

But hey, it's not only about sports here – it's also Pride month in Australia! There are oodles of fabulous Pride events happening all around, and guess what? We'll be at Fair Day! So, if you're in the area, come on down and say hello. We'd love to meet you!

But that's not all – we stumbled upon an amazing website called Querying the Map. Think of it as a virtual diary where people can pin their locations and share their beautiful stories. We're talking thousands of pins, each representing a unique and heartfelt experience. From proposals on Ferris wheels in Japan to stories of struggle and resilience in Russia, this platform has it all. We delve into some of the intricacies of these stories, discussing the complexity of queer life worldwide.

Navigating our queer identities can be challenging, but Querying the Map offers a beacon of support and validation. Reading these stories can make you feel less alone in your own experiences. Trust us – we've been there. And here's the best part: you can visit the website yourself and find resources in the show notes if you're seeking help. We're here for you, every step of the way.

But hold on – we're not done yet! Our main topic looks at transgender discrimination and the misinformation floating around in our beloved Australia. Brace yourself for a candid critique of a Channel 7 segment that portrayed detransitioners and the transgender community in a flawed light. Together, we'll unravel the complexity and challenges faced by those who choose to detransition, whether it involves reversing physical changes or simply adjusting their social environment.

So, my fabulous friend, if you're craving authentic queer stories, support, and some serious food for thought, this episode is an absolute must-listen. We're here to educate, inspire, and celebrate our community. Don't miss out! Hit that play button now.

Are you ready to dive into another exciting episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer? I hope you are, because we have a lot to talk about today. We've been up to some interesting things lately including Archie getting a tattoo (and not just any tattoo, but one that involved Pokémon and Thor!). But that's not all, folks.


Today, we're shining a spotlight on a somber and disheartening event that recently took place in Canada - the 1 Million March for Children. The wonderful Jaymze from Canada suggested we discuss it, and boy, does it deserve our attention.  It's disheartening to see Canada, a country that has always been known for its progressive values, take a step back in promoting hate and misinformation within the LGBTQIA community. It's incredibly frustrating to witness the rise in LGBTQIA discrimination, fueled by misinformation and a resistance to change.


But here's the thing, my friends. LGBTQIA+ rights don't take away from anyone else's rights. It's about equality and understanding, not a zero-sum game. By denying someone else their rights, we only create a worse future with more discrimination and impaired education. Education is the foundation for progress, and we must ensure that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, has the opportunity to learn and thrive.


So, join us now as we delve deep into these pressing topics and discuss the need for inclusive discussions and education on discrimination. It's time to shed light on the importance of acceptance, understanding, and building a safe environment for LGBTQIA individuals.


Don't miss out on this eye-opening episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer. Tap play now and let's dive in together.

 

This episode has a warning: there are some mentions of suicide and  depression in this episode.
