Small Talks: What is IDAHOBIT?
05/16/24 • 14 min
1 Listener
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.

Small Talks: From Mental Health Journeys to LGBTQIA+ News
Welcome to "Let's Be Perfectly Queer," a queer podcast that creates space to talk about all things queer.
In this episode we delve into a range of topics in our signature candid style. We start by sharing our recent experiences and personal journeys with mental health and anxiety, emphasising the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding these issues. From there, we explore pressing issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community, such as discrimination in the medical field and controversies surrounding transgender athletes.
We also touch upon significant developments, like the abolition of the Western Australian Gender Reassignment Board, which we see as a positive step towards greater recognition and acceptance of transgender individuals. And of course, we couldn't resist discussing Jojo Siwa's claim to have invented a new music genre called "gay pop." It's always fascinating to see how queer culture influences the mainstream.
Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking conversation that celebrates queerness in all its facets.
Topics discussed:
Recent experiences at the local toy fair and the struggle with change
Mental illness and seeking help for anxiety
Discrimination faced by non-binary trainee doctors
Transgender athletes and the need for individual understanding
The Western Australian Gender Reassignment Board being abolished
Authenticity and risks associated with incorrect gender markers
Jojo Siwa, gay pop, and the controversy surrounding her song "Karma"

Talking Comics with Bijhan Agha
We have a very special guest joining me today, the incredibly talented comic creator all the way from Montevideo, Uruguay, Bijan Agha!
Bijan kicks off the episode by introducing us to their captivating comic book, Kobra Olympus Time Wars. As we dive into the world of comics, we explore how they artfully combine literature and cinematic elements, giving us the perfect blend of reality and intimate details of a character's interior life.
Bijan shares their personal journey with comics, from their childhood experiences with golden and silver age editions to how Wonder Woman shaped their moral philosophy as a Queer artist. Did you know that the creator of Wonder Woman, Charles Moulton, was a psychiatrist and one of the inventors of the lie detector test? And get this, Moulton, his wife, and their girlfriend were in a polyamorous triad!
But it doesn't end there, my friends. Bijan takes us on a thrilling ride as we dive into the subversive world of comic book creation. They share their collaboration process with the talented artist swaptrap, found through the wonders of the internet.
Throughout the episode, Bijan opens our eyes to the power of comics as a visual medium. They discuss the unique features like thought bubbles that give us invaluable insight into a character's thoughts. They also share their inspiration from comic creators like Harvey Picar and the impact of their Iranian and Danish background on their storytelling approach.
Don't wait, my fabulous friends. Grab your capes, put on your mask, and join us on this exhilarating journey through the world of Queer comic creation. The links and information about Bijan and their comics will be provided in the episode notes.
