Abby & Ryan Aren't Hetero
Show Notes

Last week Ryan said in passing that he's bi. This week, we unpack that.

When Ryan says he's bi, what he's saying is that someone's gender neither helps nor hinders his ability to be physically attracted to them. It's not that he discovered a new part of himself, but rather that he released the compulsory heterosexuality he was taught to internalize.

  • If gender is nonbinary, then what's the difference between bisexual and pansexual?
  • How does a married person explore their newfound sexual orientation?
  • In an androgynous world where masculine/feminine expression was decoupled from genitalia, would any of the LGBTQIA+ identifiers have any meaning?


 GRATITUDES:

  • Abby is grateful that she has the honor of getting to watch a close friend blossom and grow.
  • Ryan is grateful that he seems to have internalized the life lesson, "you don't have to do all the work all the time."
