On this week’s episode, we’re joined by the wonderful Gloria Jackson-Nefertiti! Gloria (she/her) is an educator and community discussion facilitator who has been teaching workshops on shame, consent, neurodivergence, and identity in kink communities for several years. As a late-diagnosed autistic woman, she brings both lived experience and thoughtful dialogue to conversations about communication, ethics, and belonging in BDSM spaces. This week, she’s answering listener questions about neurodivergence and kink with us! If you’ve ever wondered if you might be kinky, this episode is for you. We’re also giving some suggestions about how to tell your long-term partner that you’d like to explore kink in the bedroom.

Our season finale is a special one- we’re participating in the 4th annual Podcasthon! This week, over a thousand podcasts are highlighting a charity of their choice and we’re choosing to support the Black Trans Travel Fund! Tune in to hear about why we chose them, what they’re all about, and how to support them. 

We’re also answering questions regarding the intersections of autism, race, sexuality, and gender. How do you know if you’re masking or code-switching? Whose parent gets to decide if you’re trans or if it’s somehow “just your autism”? We weigh in on these topics and provide some supportive ideas and words of wisdom.
