This week I got to chat with the hilarious Joanne Tsung (she/her), who I now want to be my BFF and share demisexual memes with all day every day. Joanne is a comedian and writer who has been featured on CBC Vancouver, CBC Pride, Killjoy Comedy with OutTV and YVR Funny Season 2 with Storyhive.
In this episode:
-I smiled this entire episode and my hands moved between cupping my face adoringly listening to Joanne and cupping my mouth to stop my laughing drown out Joanne’s voice!
-Joanne has the most wonderful explanation of the beauty of being demisexual!
-We need “horny in your own time” on a throw pillow!
-Joanne describes her take on internalised bi-erasure!
-The voices in our head can give us so much imposter syndrome, over and over and over again!
-The alternative title for this episode was “Joanne Tsung on unfortunately participating in society”!
-There is a cameo from Karla, Joanne’s girlfriend and it is amazing!
-Being queer takes up a huge part of our brain, and it is the best!
-Joanne shares the disappointment in the microaggressions experienced after coming out, and I am so grateful for her voicing things so many folks face!
-Joanne and I entered queer spaces for the first time assuming everyone was going to hit on us when they clearly would not, and to hear her say that? Validating!
