Sex Ed Before Bed explores powerful and meaningful topics that often go undiscussed in our daily lives. In bringing these conversations into the open, my intention is that collectively, we can approach them with less shame and more compassion, giving them the nuance that they often require. As part of a small cadre of Canadian podcasts focused on this topic, with over 8,000 listeners, Sex Ed Before Bed’s growing fan base signals a rising interest in sexual health and politics. Since 2017, guests have included experts and folks with lived experience, including sex workers, 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, researchers, educators, psychotherapists, physicians and program facilitators. Sex-positivity, anti-oppression frameworks inform the podcast and the tone is one of humility and curiosity. I aim to bring what I have learned and my experiences to the mic and understand that sexual health education is a lifelong learning experience for me, and for all of us. I don’t have all the answers and I see myself as “along for the ride” with the listener, grateful for the stories, wisdom and insight of my wonderful guests. What I want to give listeners through this experience: ● To have more informed, joyful, liberating sexual experiences ● To see a topic or marginalized group in a new light ● To unlearn harmful stereotypes and cultivate more empathy ● To be aware of timely sex-related Canadian research and news

Wes Heney was born female. That is, he had the anatomic composition or body of a person most people would see as female. As Wes reached puberty, he grew breasts that he detested. He dressed like a guy and wanted to be treated as such. He sensed a profound disconnect between his body (anatomic sex) and who he felt he was - his gender identity.
In episode 4, Wes tells the unforgettable full story. I ask some basic questions about:
What's it like taking testosterone?
What kind of stigma did you encounter?
What was your transition process?
The theme song is Little Lily Swing by Tri-Tachyon.
