A Positive and Productive Conversation on KPFA
The Women's Magazine, which broadcasts on Berkeley's KPFA featured an intelligent discussion on asexuality. Listen here. Hosts Lisa and Kathryn talk with me, Emily, and K.L. about how asexuality makes "radical challenges to the compulsory sexuality of hypersexual culture."
Also, they kicked off the show with my group's latest hit single, "The Way I Am." Check it out!
On a side note, building off my last post, I feel like I need to clarify the "cool kid" thing, as it comes up in this interview, to refer to the social pressures around sexuality. I don't want to discredit what was said in that interview because it was really well done, and the "cool kid" bit is placed along the brief trajectory from middle school onward in the process of discovering asexuality in my life. These interviewers then moved outward to the world and sexual politics.

Congrats on the new blog! I'm linking to this on AB, and hopefully people will come over and read...
Hello,
I want to invite you to Sex 2.0. I think it would be wonderful to see the asexual movement represented. After all, in our talking about sex, people who don't want it need a place at the table too.
"Sex 2.0 will focus on the intersection of social media, feminism, and sexuality. How is social media enabling people to learn, grow, and connect sexually? How is sexual expression tied to social activism? Does the concept of transparency online offer new opportunities or present new roadblocks — or both? These questions, and many more, will be addressed within a safe, welcoming, sex-positive space."

If you think it looks interesting, spread the word around.
I hope to see you there!
