The conversation around transitioning and the life of a transgender person is still unbelievably being questioned to this day. It's an area that desperately needs positive change and representation as we fight for safety, awareness and the kind of gender euphoria experienced by cis people every single day. In this episode of Queer Thinking we have the rare opportunity to discuss the trans experien...

Bisexuality is a mis and underrepresented part of the LGBTQIA+ community. As more people identify as multi-gender attracted, more conversations are highlighting the nuances of bi identity and the detrimental impacts of bi erasure. Today, we'll be delving into the world of those who are bisexual and multi-gender attracted. Some studies have shown that these communities actually make up th...

In this episode of Queer Thinking, we'll be chatting to those who are a part of the rainbow community and had children through adoption, sperm donation or surrogacy.

Everyone remembers their first Mardi Gras. Whether you went to the Parade with your parents when you were young, when you first came out, watched it on TV or maybe you marched at the first Mardi Gras in 1978. However you were introduced to the Parade, it’s a pretty special moment. On this episode of Queer Thinking, we’re chatting to three different people with very different experiences of their f...

Sport has often excluded LGBTQIA+ participants, with many sporting codes having homophobia and transphobia deeply embedded in their players, teams, and fans. Because of this, many LGBTQIA+ identifying sportspeople don't come out. In this episode, we’ll chat to Australian Athletes who have come out as their true selves.
