Each week Sara & Raven try to demystify a tricky, taboo topic about the bodies we have and the lack of knowledge surrounding them. Dropping May 20th!

09/09/2021

NEW EPISODE! Today we are joined by Renee Kokts-Porietis, cofounder of .normative on the pod to uncover the lack of diverse representation in scientific research and discussing how My Normative is on a trailblazing path to change the industry.

This episode is super science-y but damn it's good!

Working on a lil' holiday project, here's a sneak peak.

Syphilis is my favourite👍.

03/09/2021

What a heartbreaking week to be someone with a uterus or anyone with the capacity to be compassionate towards us.
What a heartbreaking week to hear rotted comparisons about body autonomy and what it is, isn't or should be.
What a heartbreaking week to bear witness to.

Restricting access to reproductive services and procedures while continuing to pour federal funding into abstinence programs is, for lack of a better term, sick and it helps no one.

Shame.

NEW EPISODE! Today we are joined by , cofounder of .normative on the pod to talk to us about gender, s*x, chromosomes, binaries and spectrums!

This episode is scientific AND philosophical. S**t got deep🤔.

So much is now considered to be on a spectrum these days, but is that the best representation for s*x and gender?

Make sure you're tuning in tomorrow to find out why this ☝️ may well be a better visual.

DID YOU KNOW approximately 1.7% of the global population is born with inters*x traits? That's more than all the redheads in the world!

Supermodel is inters*x and has publicly shared her experience of growing up going through countless mystery surgeries and the secrecy that surrounded her true identity growing up.

After some casual Googling of inters*x conditions, how can anyone believe that gender is biology?

Very excited to go into this void on this week's episode...

Just felt like infuriating the ghost of Dr. Kellogg today with FLAVOURS and TITALLATION.
🍒🍒🍒
If you haven't listened to episode 18, Labiaplasty Pt.2: You're a Monster, Dr. Kellogg, what are you waiting for? Head over to link in bio to listen now!

26/08/2021

NEW EPISODE! Today Raven recounts the harrowing tale of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's obsession with keeping children from ma********ng that led to countless ge***al mutilations. Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's awful.

Trigger warnings abound for this episode!

25/08/2021

Tune in tomorrow for the second half of our first ever two-parter, Labiaplasty Pt.2: You're a Monster Dr. Kellogg.
The answer to "what the heck are those torture devices?" will be revealed then, so make sure you're following now to get all the disturbing details😬.

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg created corn flakes for the purpose of keeping people physically and morally healthy. He believed flavours and spices of any kind would cause people to ma******te, which was, to him, worse then any other earthly vice.

Coming up this week, we'll talk about why it's actually his brother's name on the box along with the extreme lengths John Harvey went to to keep children from discovering or continuing to ma******te.

23/08/2021

Bodies, like anything else, change so much through our lives.
Puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause - it all comes with new features to discover and work with. Some changes are harder than others, but on this Monday morning we'd like to take a moment to say:

Radical self-acceptance is the most fantastic thing you could work on.

What's the most punk rock thing you've accepted about yourself?

21/08/2021

Khloe Kardashian has an 8 step v***a glow-up routine we don't entirely agree with. However, we were delighted when she said this on Rupaul's Drag Race a few years ago.

19/08/2021

NEW EPISODE! We thought this would be a quick lil episode, but it turned into our first ever two parter! This week on Part 1, we're talking about the how's and the why's of l***aplasty and other procedures like it.

TRIGGER WARNING, this episode contains a lot of topics and language that may be difficult for some. Full trigger warning is at the top of the show, but this one was hard even for us. We hope you'll join us for part two next week as well if you can, but we love and appreciate you regardless!

18/08/2021

Ever think about how many of us saw nakedness only through dolls during formative years?
What does that do to your idea of what bodies "should" look like?

17/08/2021

Going down a rabbit hole of comparison culture leading to drastic measures this week.

Barbie, hair removal, p**n, the internet in general - has it ever made you question if you were "normal"? It did to 12,000 Americans in 2016 who had a surgery called l***aplasty, which alters the l***a minora and/or majora (inner and outer vaginal "lips"). Out of those 12,000, 5% were under the age of 16 (that's 500 people in case you're wondering).

There are some l***aplasty procedures that are done out of medical necessity, but since 2016 this surgery has steadily risen by about 14% every year. It's highly doubtful that this increase is made up of necessary surgeries.

No two v***as, labium, vaginas look the same. This body part is not be a problem to be solved. Tell the young'uns.

NEW EPISODE! The thing EVERYONE has heard about - PMS (premenstrual syndrome), but turns out no one really understands. This week Sara details what we do know along with giving footnotes on PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and PME (premenstrual exacerbation), while Raven breaks down the long, historic myth of the irrational female.

Both of us had revelations about our own internalized misogyny and kindly hold out a hand to invite y'all to do the same.

Bonus points if you can guess the film this photo is from!

11/08/2021

TOMORROW on the pod we're finally talking about PMS with a side of PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and PME (Premenstrual Exacerbation).
Everyone's invited, tell your friends, follow and subscribe now!

The post warning menstruators on netmums.com about Bootea Babies. Two weeks into a 28 day "teatox" somebody got pregnant.
Listen to episode 15 for some very pertinent information on how laxatives flush out birth control. An IUD isn't safe either!
