A deeper dive into the ace experience with asexual activist + educator, Yasmin Benoit. In this one, Ev’Yan speaks to Yasmin about her work as an asexual educator and experience as a Black ace person. Yasmin talks about the racism she faces within majority white asexual spaces. She also unpacks what acephobia is and offers advice to those who are nervous about coming out as Ace because of the abuse they’ll face. And a sweet moment during the conversation: Yasmin talks about the joys of being asexual, which is something that is often missing in these conversations about asexuality. Then, Ev’Yan closes us out with a meditation to help us tap into our sensual selves on our own terms.

How do feed your erotic imagination, especially when we’re living in such unsensual times? In this one, Ev’Yan’s in the studio solo to give some tips and tell some stories about how to nourish the sexual part of your sensuality. Ev’Yan talks about visual porn (and why they stopped watching it), their quest to "up their sexual context", and how she’s using audio erotica to help remind herself that she is a sexual being—even when these wild times have her forgetting that fact.

What assumptions do you make about your gender? In this one, Ev’Yan speaks to Dayna Lynn Nuckolls (The People’s Oracle) about what it looks like to decolonize gender and why we probably need to decolonize ours. They both speak about the binary and how harmful our gendered ideas of masculinity and femininity are, how language and labels flatten us, and the ways indigenous cultures have viewed gender and gender roles. Dayna also explains what it really means to decolonize something. At the end, Ev’Yan offers questions to get you curious about your own gender to help you parse through what was shaken up in this episode.
