Queering the Wand

Making Magic

Although people of any gender and sexuality can use the Magic Wand, it holds a special place in the hearts (and nightstand drawers) of many queer and trans people. This episode examines the LGBTQIA+ community’s relationship to the Magic Wand, and the ways it can enable sexual creativity, ease gender dysphoria, and amplify queer joy.
