Reclaiming the Self: Queer Trauma, Religious Exit, and Sexual Freedom
<p>Drawing on my master’s research, which led to a forthcoming academic book chapter this year, this episode explores the journeys of queer individuals leaving evangelical communities. It looks at how religious trauma shapes their experiences. Leaving a religion which is often labeled as ‘apostasy,’ is far more than a simple decision. It’s a deeply personal process, full of identity struggles, emotional challenges, and social disruption. At the same time, I will share bits of my own story, reflecting on what it was like to leave religion and find my voice. </p><p>This episode grew out of a guest lecture I gave at VU Amsterdam and is for anyone who is interested in the personal, psychological, and empowering journey of a religious exit.</p><p>I hope this episode will help anyone going through a deconversion journey feel seen, understood, and less alone.</p><p>Special thanks to Srdjan Sremac and Lenneke Post for the invitation to give this lecture.</p><p></p><p><strong>References:</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOKO4zkl6O4">Jafeth Jacobs - Brokenhearted</a></p>

Queer-Friendly Buddhism? An Exploration
<p>In this episode, I dive into the concept of "queer-friendly" Buddhism, exploring how it’s often portrayed in the West versus the reality of queer identities in Buddhist countries. Join me as I reflect on my own meditation journey, while simultaneously unpacking the so-called "Thai Paradox"—the contrast between Thailand’s reputation as a queer-friendly destination and the complexities queer people face in their everyday lives.</p><p>Links I've mentioned within this episode: </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0hFWseS3NYTB1wmdK6Db91?si=44bde0d96bd34398">Listen to my new single 'P.S.

My Gay Dating Issues and a Little Bit of Homonationalism
<p>Often people ask me why I am still single, or sometimes I ask myself the same question. In this episode, I'll delve into the complexities of modern dating, aiming to uncover shared experiences and hopefully find some common ground. I will also briefly address the current political situation in the Netherlands and discuss the concept of homonationalism, as I believe it is important for our community to be aware of this.</p><p>References in this episode:</p><p><strong>Todd Baratz: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/yourdiagnonsense/"><strong>YourDiagnonsense</strong></a></p><p><strong>Alan Downs: </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738215678/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=downsphd-20&linkId=b55d2cd75dbdbb167cee3b833f1984d6"><strong>The Velvet Rage</strong></a></p><p>Ask me anything: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="Instagram.com/queerlyhavingissues"><strong>QueerlyHavingIssues</strong></a></p><p></p>
