Out of Spite EP5: My Queer Academia

Content Warning: Mentions of transphobia and violence

LGBTQ+ people often experience discrimination in both their school and work lives. Get to hear your broadcasters' experiences and difficulties in a way that can only be described as "My Queer Academia". (or not, but it sounds nice, doesn't it?)


Out Of Spite is the show where LGBTQ+ issues are anything but out of mind.
