Mouthful with ShantiGender vs. Sexuality, the story of a heterosexual male Drag Princess w/ David ShapiroA mistake I have made in the past is conflating gender and sexuality. What does this mean? It means, sometimes when we see someone performing a gender (masculinity and femininity) in a "non-normative" way, we assume their sexuality is also "non-normative", meaning NOT heteronormative. So when I would see a drag queen I would automatically assume they are gay, however, drag performers like David, stage name Suzette Veneti, or even Maddy Morphosis from RuPaul season 14, show us that gender performance and sexuality are separate things.Some scholars that discuss doing gender or gender as a performance are...2023-02-2129 min

Mouthful with ShantiCatching up w/ Becky Lynn!Happy Valentine’s Day! In this episode, instead of talking about being blindly in love, we discuss being blind regarding race! Colorblindness is an ideology that ignores racial differences to falsely promote harmony but can lead to racial discriminations being ignored. Therefore asserting color-blind logic is a form of performing whiteness, the normalization of white racial identity (you don’t need to be white to perform whiteness). We talk transracial adoption, colorblindness, interracial dating and coparenting and so much more!

Mouthful with ShantiCruising the Gender Galaxy w/ Arjun BanerjeeIndividuals internalize the social expectations that surround gender norms. Fortunately, things are changing and people are challenging those antiquated ways of thinking. On this episode, I interview Arjun Banerjee and we talk about how the journey or gender can be constant. Looking at gender as a galaxy removes the limitations of the binary and that creates a space for Arjun to make feminine sex noises and me masculine ones. We also discuss Bipolar disorder and growing up Indian. Food for thought: The term Trans*, including the asterisk, serves as an umbrella term that includes all gender minorities...2023-01-3032 min
