16. 1 Million March 4 Children
Let's be perfectly Queer Podcast
Today, we're shining a spotlight on a somber and disheartening event that recently took place in Canada - the 1 Million March for Children. The wonderful Jaymze from Canada suggested we discuss it, and boy, does it deserve our attention. It's disheartening to see Canada, a country that has always been known for its progressive values, take a step back in promoting hate and misinformation within the LGBTQIA community. It's incredibly frustrating to witness the rise in LGBTQIA discrimination, fueled by misinformation and a resistance to change.
But here's the thing, my friends. LGBTQIA+ rights don't take away from anyone else's rights. It's about equality and understanding, not a zero-sum game. By denying someone else their rights, we only create a worse future with more discrimination and impaired education. Education is the foundation for progress, and we must ensure that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, has the opportunity to learn and thrive.
So, join us now as we delve deep into these pressing topics and discuss the need for inclusive discussions and education on discrimination. It's time to shed light on the importance of acceptance, understanding, and building a safe environment for LGBTQIA individuals.

Small Talks: What is IDAHOBIT?
Let's be perfectly Queer Podcast
In this episode of "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," we delve into the significance of International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). We'll explore its history and its profound connection to the LGBTQIA community, including why the May 17th date is so significant
Despite the strides we've made, discrimination and violence against our community persist. Instances of police violence, non-consensual medical procedures, and the lack of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in government research highlight the ongoing challenges we face.
It's crucial for us to educate ourselves on diversity, discrimination, and the creation of safe spaces. There are actionable steps we can take to support our community, such as wearing pride pins, advocating for LGBTQIA+ inclusivity in our workplaces, and supporting queer artists and businesses.
Promoting awareness and inclusivity is essential in helping individuals struggling with their identity feel safe and accepted. Let's come together to celebrate IDAHOBIT, share our experiences, and contribute to the collective effort of building a world free from discrimination.

This week on Let’s be perfectly queer podcast we are talking about Queer imposter syndrome. Delving head first into how heteronormativity and internalised homophobia leaves some of us feeling inadequate in our queer lives. Addressing questions such as “can I be gay if I haven’t slept with someone of the same sex?” And “what makes you a good queer person?”
Listen in for some laughs, fun facts and a good dose of authenticity.

17. Debunking the National news segment on Detransitioning - Part 1
Let's be perfectly Queer Podcast
This week on Let’s Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, we debunk and unpack the problematic Channel 7 Spotlight: De-Transitioning. Archie watched the show so you don't have to. In this episode we discuss the misinformation and harm that this media segment has caused.
So, what have we been up to? Well, we recently threw an epic Halloween party that was utterly spook-tacular, and we also cheered on our beloved Matildas during the Asian cup qualifiers. Not only did we witness some mind-blowing games, but we even caught the pre-games action, making it a double dose of pure sports awesomeness.
But hey, it's not only about sports here – it's also Pride month in Australia! There are oodles of fabulous Pride events happening all around, and guess what? We'll be at Fair Day! So, if you're in the area, come on down and say hello. We'd love to meet you!
But that's not all – we stumbled upon an amazing website called Querying the Map. Think of it as a virtual diary where people can pin their locations and share their beautiful stories. We're talking thousands of pins, each representing a unique and heartfelt experience. From proposals on Ferris wheels in Japan to stories of struggle and resilience in Russia, this platform has it all. We delve into some of the intricacies of these stories, discussing the complexity of queer life worldwide.
Navigating our queer identities can be challenging, but Querying the Map offers a beacon of support and validation. Reading these stories can make you feel less alone in your own experiences. Trust us – we've been there. And here's the best part: you can visit the website yourself and find resources in the show notes if you're seeking help. We're here for you, every step of the way.
But hold on – we're not done yet! Our main topic looks at transgender discrimination and the misinformation floating around in our beloved Australia. Brace yourself for a candid critique of a Channel 7 segment that portrayed detransitioners and the transgender community in a flawed light. Together, we'll unravel the complexity and challenges faced by those who choose to detransition, whether it involves reversing physical changes or simply adjusting their social environment.
So, my fabulous friend, if you're craving authentic queer stories, support, and some serious food for thought, this episode is an absolute must-listen. We're here to educate, inspire, and celebrate our community. Don't miss out! Hit that play button now.
