I'm Feeling Queer Today!

Periodically, the crew at I'm Feeling Queer Today! will share episodes from like-minded podcasts that they love. IFQT! producer and host, Claire Florence, presents today’s feed swap with The Bi Pod: a podcast on all things bisexual, hosted by Evan Chelsee (they/them) and Christina Brown (she/her). In this episode of The Bipod, “Am I Queer Enough?,” you’ll hear from non-binary artist and writer, Flo Godineau (they/them). 🎧 ABOUT THE EPISODE: "Am I Queer Enough" [originally aired Feb 8, 2024]If you’re looking for the Queer DMV office so you can apply for your queer card and pay your membership dues, you’ve come to the right place!Just kidding, it’s free to be gay! On this week’s episode, we chat with Flo Godineau about what it means to be bisexual enough and nonbinary enough. We also talk about backcountry skiing (as a metaphor about dating), and how Smallville fanfiction can make you queer.Learn more about The Bi Pod: https://thebipod.com/Subscribe to The Bi Pod: https://pod.link/1549505970Follow The Bi Pod on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebipod/Support The Bi Pod on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebipod⚠️Please note that some resources may contain triggering content and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of, or the definitions used by, The Future Perfect Project. ⏱️TIME STAMPS:01:45 Intro3:36 Welcome to The Bipod4:30 Introducing Bipod guest Flo5:58 Flo’s queer identity bi story7:07 Smallville12:00 Feeling “not queer enough?”17:44 Performing queerness24:04 Not feeling bisexual enough, aro-ace spectrum35:00 Dating vs romantic relationship38:00 On being nonbinary44:45 Bisexuality as an internal experience 🚨 CRISIS RESOURCES:If you or a young person you know between the ages of 13-24 is currently in crisis, check out thetrevorproject.org for LGBTQIA+ specific support through text and chat, or call 1-866-488-7386🫶 CREDITS:IFQT! is produced by The Future Perfect Project with support from Radio Kingston, WKNY, Kingston, New York.
