Internalized Homophobia, Catfishing & (Eventual) Self-Love with Liz Tracy

Liz Tracy joins Mal to discuss internalized homophobia and how it creeps up, even once you are out and proud. Liz grew up in a very progressive and open-minded family in Seattle but still found herself struggling to accept her sexuality, to the point where she would date women online using a fake male profile. This episode offers great discussions on aversions to sex toys for fear that they are 'too gay', consistently dating long distance in order to compartmentalize one's sexuality, and living a secret double life.Follow our guest @lizguine and please remember to subscribe, rate on Spotify, review on Apple, and share this episode with your one of your old Tumblr buddies!
