QueerAF Podcast: Season 1, Episode 6 – Non-binary activists Fox and Owl join the show to talk about trans activism, burnout, and the importance of true inclusivity in sex education for young people – listen now
In this episode:
Partners Fox and Owl share their experiences growing up in a system that rarely reflected who they were – especially where sex education was concerned. They discuss how language around gender and identity is constantly evolving and why inclusive sex education is vital for young people learning to understand who they are, without shame.
They also open up about misconceptions around non-binary identities and how people expect you to present, to their work as trans activists – and how learning to set boundaries and say no in order to avoid burnout is just as important as their activism itself.
Featuring:
- Fox and Owl – Trans activists, writers and filmmakers
- Charlie Mathers – National Student Pride press officer
- Jamie Wareham – Journalist and broadcaster
