Our commitment to inclusivity
We are constantly and continually committed to inclusive and equitable podcast production.
Some of our values:
A diversity of lived experiences
Anti-racism
Anti-ableism
Non-pathologizing, non-stigmatizing storytelling that doesn’t make individuals feel like they are the problem
As white cisgender individuals, we do not represent all of the experiences and identities within the queer community. For this reason, we will actively strive to champion, amplify and include the voices that are missing.
By, for, and with the
queer community
The queer community encompasses a diverse array of experiences and perspectives. As a power-sharing project, community involvement is incredibly important to us. This podcast is for you, and should reflect and benefit you in every way possible.
We are committed to making sure the community is involved at every stage of the podcast production process: from the decision to pursue an episode topic to the final transcript that goes on this website. We actively work to combat the misunderstanding and discrimination that challenges the relationship between queer communities and health care providers.
Our work on this podcast is partially supported by the generosity of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, whose goal is to improve health by advancing the education and training of health professionals .
