Today’s guest is Robyn Ochs, an educator, speaker, activist, editor of Bi Women Quarterly, and my auntie in my head. Robyn’s work centers on identity and sexuality, and in this episode, we go there! We talk about why there is so much misconception and phobia against bi and pansexual people even from the queer community, the importance of representation in the media and in real life, and how finding your identity is a forever journey. I share the story of how I met Robyn and how I knew it was our destiny to meet. I also talk about how her work has affected me, as a gay gender-nonconforming man. It made me realize that sexuality is a spectrum and it isn’t defined by body parts. It’s about the romantic connection you have with the soul. Robyn’s work isn’t just for people who identify as LGBTQIA+. Her work liberates us all. To learn more about Robyn, check out her website at www.RobynOchs.com.
