Originally from Lafayette, LA, Parker Guidry is a genderfluid, Chicago-based actor and LGBTQ+ advocate. Much of their work onstage and onscreen strives to push the boundaries in creating more trans and queer representation. They also work for Cision, a public relations software company, where they serve as the global co-president and secretary of Pulse, Cision's LGBTQ+ employee resource group. In their spare time, Parker loves fashion, and will take any excuse to put together a new outfit and get dressed up. They're huge fans of Beyoncé, RuPaul's Drag Race, and Pokémon. And if this resonates with anyone: they're a Ravenclaw, triple-Scorpio, and proud member of House Tyrell.

Things we talk about in today’s episode:

Parker’s coming out journey and their choice to use the pronouns they/them
How to tackle the conversation around pronouns
The difference between non binary and transgender
What to say if you misgender someone
The impact that this journey has had on their life

In honor or Pride Month, I’m so excited to be exploring all things sexuality on todays podcast.

I couldn’t have had a better person to have this podcast than Rachel Wright — a fan favorite over here at the Live Your F*ck Yes life podcast. Not only does she bring a super important research based and clinical approach to the subject matter (when she lived in San Francisco and hosted her private practice there, she worked almost exclusively with the LGBTQ+ community) but she also shares so vulnerably about her personal relationship with the topic at hand.

We got deep, you guys. And I’m two parts excited and terrified to share this with you, but as per usual, I’m f*cking going for it.

Things we discuss in today’s episode:

The difference between gender and sexuality
The different types of sexuality
The Kinsey Scale — what it is, and how to figure out where you fall on it
Labels - love ‘em or hate ‘em
The stigma around bisexuality
We both share super personal things around the topic of our own sexuality
Some tangible ways to gain clarity around your sexuality
