the disruption Podcast is About Activating Big, Bold Change.

The Disruption Podcast is focused on creating big, bold change through the disruption of systems and institutions that cause harm to others and through disruption in your own personal life leading you to find pathways to your own purpose, freedom, and power. We believe that disruption in these spaces activates transformational impact across society.

We are Tracey Breeden and Michelle Pelton, the hosts of The Disruption Podcast. We are queer activists, passionate about driving change, who will share our personal stories of disruption with you and lead you through discussions with fellow disruptors, including other activists and advocates, leaders on the inside and outside of organizations, and notable friends and influencers. We hope to inspire and activate you towards the big, bold change that you want to see in yourself and in the world.

We will dig deep into those personal stories and into pressing topics like creating safe spaces and belonging, advocating for social change through activism in the most difficult places, personal elevation and radical leadership through living authentically, and sex positivity. We’ll even talk about closing the orgasm gap! It can get pretty serious, but we’ll also love, laugh, and weave lightness into our time together. The truth is disruption of self and the systems that surround us is not easy, and often requires us to lay down our safety. It all begins with giving ourselves permission to take that first step into personal truth and power. Look around and know you are not alone. We and our fellow Disruptors are people from all walks of life on that journey with you. Get ready to disrupt!

Ep 7: Disrupting the Gender Binary with Calen Otto

04/18/23

In 2022, the Human Rights Campaign tells us more than 149 bills were introduced across 36 states targeting the transgender and gender non-conforming community. The numbers continue to climb in 2023. The most recent is an anti-drag bill passed in Tennessee that restricts drag performances in public or in the presence of children and bans them from occurring within 1,000 feet of schools, public parks, and places of worship. This legislation is just one way that the man-made concept of the gender binary is forced on people, causing harm.
