Dr Linda (she/they) is a sexologist who has a particular interest in anything outside the mainstream.
In this episode, Dr Linda will discuss some of their experiences as a sex ed teacher of 12 years and the important impact their contribution has made for students feeling safe, respected & open to exploring their sexualities. They also speak to their experience of binaries vs. spectrums and the boxes we all have to tick, or leave unticked, about ourselves.
Trigger Warnings: sex
There is nothing graphic about this episode, but Dr Linda is obviously speaking from the lense of being a sexologist and sexual educator. If this content may be triggering for you, then please seek support from a loved one or one of the helplines at the bottom of this description.
This podcast is released every Tuesday and Friday and could not have been possible without the support of our local community partners, Midsumma and the Fairer Victoria portfolio of the Victorian State Government.
