Java with Juli - Making Sense of God and Sex · Why So Many Young People Feel Confused About Sexuality, #613 · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

to invite deeper understanding, to invite opportunities for distinction, for me to say, okay, I hear you saying that you're using these words in this way, you know, dummy romantic, as opposed to dummy sexual, and you're kind of distinguishing the romantic component of attraction from the sexual component.

And even though I wouldn't say there's endless possibilities of attraction and in the objects of our attraction,

I can appreciate that distinction you're trying to make there between romance and sexual desire.

And I think there are nuances that I'd love to understand more about that.

So again, you can see there, it actually gives me opportunity to not just align with what I can align with and agree with what I can agree on.

It also allows me space to say, here's where I wouldn't go.

Here's a bridge too far for me.

And I think sometimes

The fear of being complicit forgets that in conversation we get to distinguish where we are and where we're not.

And it would be a mistake if you simply used language and never gave kind of an account for some of the nuances to what you're bringing to it.

Yeah, so queer theory is, you know, certainly it could have many definitions.

The way we talk about it in the book is a kind of beginning in the kind of ivory tower of philosophy.

You know, there were some philosophers that developed this kind of way of approaching reality to say we need to deconstruct norms, that the norms themselves are kind of established by people in positions of power and

And those sources of power and authority have failed to really account for the fullness of reality.

And so we have to deconstruct those norms, which are purely a social construction by people in positions of power and influence.

And so as we deconstruct norms, in this case of sex and gender, we establish a lot more freedom and autonomy for people to live in more authentic ways.

And so that has certainly shaped

Also, the way people have related to the idea of embodiment and to biological sex, where it has become kind of its own category, absolutely separate from a person's sense of gender or sense of maleness or femaleness, masculinity or femininity.

And even the binary itself, the male-female binary has been seen as another source of oppression to deconstruct by some queer theorists.

And so we talk in the book about how older frameworks of gay, lesbian, bisexual identity really relied on the idea that these were essential categories.
