Unnamed Caller 3

I was pansexual and struggling to unlearn the life-stunting expectations based in toxic masculinity that prevented me from being my full and authentic self. As I said before, being poly has a lot of parallels and should make us strong allies for each other, but being poly in itself doesn't make someone queer.

However, to anyone that struggles with this answer because their polysexuality feels queer, I suggest taking a good look inside and see if maybe those queer feelings are coming from somewhere else. Give yourself permission to get out of the box that society might have forced you into that no longer fit you, if they ever did. Thank you.

Hello, Dan. Calling you from Tasmania, Australia. I was really moved by your mug story, Dan. I also have a mug that's really important to me. And I'm glad that you found... some replacement mugs, you know, because I think I would probably do the same thing if I lost mine. But it did bring to mind a Zen story that I really like. I get a bit swept up in that Zen bullshit, but here we go.

You see this goblet? Asks the Thai meditation master. For me, this glass is already broken. I enjoy it. I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it.

But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, of course. When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious. But yeah, I'm glad you got a new mug.

Hi, Dan. It's the caller from episode 927 with the gardener. Yeah. Well, turns out he was interested and my marriage is now open. And though my husband decided he doesn't want to see it, he's getting more comfortable with hearing about it. So yeah, we're dating and having great time and seeing where we all end up. So thank you for giving me the inspiration and advice to go for this.

It just goes to show you don't ever get what you want if you don't ask for it.
