We were so excited to get this guest we didn’t even realize it would be released during pride month! But we are so honored to have Dr. Katie Imborek on the podcast this week. She is the co-director of the LGBTQ+ clinic at the University of Iowa. She walks the vagibonds through what trans+ care is all about and how we can be better providers and allies.

This week Dr. Kate comes to talk about “squirting.” What is it? Is it real? What’s the feminist take on it? In a type of episode we’re going to call the “PubMed of Porn,” we explore a common porn topic and look into the science behind it.

The vagibonds are all moving this week so we took a break but thought we’d replay our first guest episode! New episodes will start back next week.

This week Katee, Corbin, and Dave talk about a topic that has been floating around the warm and fuzzy news cycle. James Harrison, an Australian given the Moniker “the man with the golden arm” has recently retired from his super hero status after donating blood since he was 18 years, with experts estimating he saved the lives 2.4 million babies. The Vagibonds talk about how this was possible and take a dive into blood groups, antibodies, and immune systems.

It’s our birthday! Corbin & Katee are doctors now! But all is not so happy with the world…

A few weeks ago, Iowa became the most restrictive state in the nation for a woman’s right to choose. Fortunately, South Carolina didn’t. And on May 25th, Irish citizens will be voting on whether or not to repeal the 8th amendment to their constitution. Choosing to keep the amendment would continue to equate the life of a pregnant person with the life of the fetus causing patients who desire termination to leave their home country for care. Choosing to repeal the amendment would allow abortion to be legal in Ireland for the first time ever. Join the newly graduated doctors as we discuss the current state of abortion in the world.

This week on the podcast Katee, Corbin, and Dave welcome another guest! This week on the Vagibinds is Rose Olson, she is a fourth year medical student and research intern at the WHO. She recently published a paper that reviewed the scientic evidence for so called “virginity testing,” a practice in many countries throughout the world of using a physical exam to inspect a woman or girls hymen to determine whether she is a “virgin” or not. Spoiler: it’s not scientifically sound. We talk about the cultural and societal implication of this exam, the control in which it exerts over women and their bodies, as well as what the word virginity even means.
