S2E9 - Isabella: "A Stacked Woman Is Hard To Find"
Dating in Seattle has its challenges for everyone, but it’s particularly hard when you’re a bisexual woman and person of color who is looking for a partner with curves. Big, beautiful women are the norm in Isabella’s native Texas, but Seattle’s vegan-eating, mountain-climbing lesbians are too scrawny and often clueless about their complicity when it comes to racism.
As a self-described nerd who loves anime and comics, Isabella’s first crush was Tommy, the green Power Ranger, a long-haired, more feminine-looking man. And two early sexual relationships in high school with both men and women helped Isabella start to define her preferences as a bisexual.
Please be advised, this episode was recorded in December of 2019 so it won’t reference current events. It also contains a detailed, first-person description of abuse by an online child sex predator.
