EP324 - Breaking the Silence: A Journey of Healing from Sexual Shame with a Queer Muslim Activist

Welcome to episode 324 of Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to be speaking with Amir Yassai. In this episode, we discuss Amir’s journey of coming out as a queer Muslim, understanding how sexual shame develops, and recommendations on how you can feel more sexually empowered.

Amir Yassai is a queer Muslim unicorn who won’t shy away from any conversation. Comedy is at the center of everything he does.

Chatting with Amir will be like chatting with an old friend with a lot more sass. He actively battles against racism, transphobia, and body shaming in the queer community.

His courage in speaking out against discrimination and prejudice makes him one of the most engaging people you could talk to: like catching up with your best friend, but spicier!

In this episode, you will hear:

Looking at Amir’s journey as a queer Muslim
Overcoming the challenges of coming out as a queer Muslim
How Amir’s relationship with his parents has evolved over the years
Understanding how sexual shame develops
How Amir found a community to help with the challenges of being a queer Muslim
