1-03. Naked in Public with Leah Juliett Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Episode three! Before her conversation with the brilliant Leah Juliett, Norma reflects on the recent shooting at a gay club in Colorado Springs and the ways that LGBTQ+ people are at increased risk of violence — a fact that's discussed throughout the episode. Then, meet Leah Juliett: queer, nonbinary political activist, founder of March Against Revenge Porn and Survivor Social Media LLC, and author of Naked in Public. Norma and Leah get into how Leah started their nonprofit at 19 years old, "trauma porn" and tips for survivors sharing their stories for the first time, Leah graciously defines some key terms and the difference between gender and sexuality (+ what does nonbinary mean?!), how we can be more inclusive, tattoos as a form of reclamation, and they get into some of the poems from their book – from surviving from sexual trauma, to sex on antidepressants, to healing through queer love.

1-02. Activism & OnlyFans After "Revenge Porn" with Chrissy Chambers & Megan Sims Nov 24, 2022

Show notes

It's Thanksgiving! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who listened and shared the first episode of Oral Arguments. In the intro of Episode 2, Norma talks about the possible end of Twitter and reflects on some of the effects of unregulated social media giants–including OnlyFans, which may have bribed Meta to put competitors on a terrorism watchlist?! Then, meet this week's guests, Chrissy Chambers and Megan Sims, who Norma recorded this interview with at the first-ever global summit for survivors of image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) – formerly known as "revenge porn" (and they get into why that term is outdated). Chrissy won the first civil lawsuit for IBSA in the UK, and Megan helped bring a law criminalizing IBSA to Ireland. Both are survivors, activists, and sex workers on OnlyFans. Norma, Chrissy, and Megan discuss being public survivors and advocates, healing & empowerment through sex-positivity and sex work, internalized shame, how they've learned to do activism sustainably to avoid burnout & more.
