LGBTIQ Podcasts

Why can certain gender-based slurs be uttered by some and not others? Why do French ID documents always include a person’s gender? How is heterosexuality a political system? Journalist Camille Regache deconstructs all that is considered “natural and innate” when it comes to gender identity and sexuality. Camille is a great podcast for lesbian, gay, bi, and trans people, but it’s especially targeted at straight people who may be unfamiliar with the French LGBTQ+ community and issues surrounding queer identity.

In a heteronormative, sexist, homophobic and transphobic society, it can be hard to imagine ways of educating children that go against the grain. But there are practical ways of instilling feminist or queer values in your child, in terms of thinking, attitudes and vocabulary, especially if you're a cisgender parent yourself.

What constitutes a feminist education? How does it differ from a queer approach? How do you approach the question of clothes or love? How do you encourage your child to take a critical stance on the power relations that run through our society?

The latest episode of The Other View with Olga Telipskobu explores the issue of hate speech—how it manifests, where it occurs, and why it happens. The discussion highlights the importance of avoiding generalisations, instead focusing on individuals and their specific actions. The conversation also delves into both verbal and non-verbal forms of hate speech, examining their impact and consequences.

Joining Olga is Volodymyr Beglov, Head of the Human Rights Education Centre in Lviv, who shares his insights on the topic.

Why is hate speech so dangerous? Where is the line between intolerance and violence? How has the prison hierarchy influenced the development of homophobia in society? And what can the vocabulary you use say about you?
