Welcome to Season Two of The Queering Death Podcast where we are dedicated to the stories and lived experiences of queer and trans people at the intersections of grief, loss, shadowless, death, and end of life. Our lens here is justice and liberation. When we sit down on the virtual couch, our brave space is one of personal sovereignty and a willingness to reframe as well as have empathy and compassion for the views that may be different than our own. 

My name is Ori. I am your two spirit and trans host. I am known as The Death Companion.

These last few months have been nothing short of an adventure in patience, will, survival, and what it means to live fully as my authentic self.

Personal loss has been my theme since our last season. And in this trailer I talk a bit about the balance of loss and gain.

If you enjoy our work here, I ask one thing of you my dear listeners and that is to support this podcast by going to queeringdeath.org.

As we move into a new format for this podcast, we were able to dig up 4 episodes that were "lost." These episodes follow the old format and are incredibly enlightening.

On this episode we speak with Bunny. 

Bunny is a disabled combat veteran who has traversed the journey of twin loss as well as the the grief and death that confronts those who enlist. 2021 brought a reckoning with Bunny's identity as a half-Japanese and gender expansive human being.
