Veronika Kestrel joins us for a conversation about creating safe & inclusive kink spaces for everyone across the gender spectrum. Despite the BDSM subculture's roots in the queer community & emphasis on inclusivity, many communities remain steeped in heteronormativity, leading to the fetishization and othering of gender non-conforming and trans people. Some of what we touch on:
- Why gender bias exists in kink
- The commodification & politicization of GNC & trans kinksters
- Tips for vetting communities & individuals
- The responsibilities of allies & accomplices
- Issues with sissy play & cuckolding
- Commonalities between marginalized groups in BDSM & more
