20-Bi-Teen: An Update on Representation

Join Mari and MD – bi women, therapists and media enthusiasts – in discussing issues and exploring the sexuality continuum in an unapologetically queer podcast.

I love the info presented in this podcast. Please fix the audio. There is nearly always one person who is difficult to hear.

Great content

As a bisexual woman, it is so validating to hear what smart, healthy, bisexual women think about these core topics. The women I know are pretty uncomfortable acknowledging that they have sex, and the men I know don&#39;t know what feminism is. I don&#39;t even think my therapist has the slightest understanding of issues facing bisexuals and walk away at a loss. I am so happy to realize that it&#39;s not just me, but also bummed that leaving Idaho won&#39;t necessarily solve my problems.

I am so Grateful for this Podcast
