    Sex Slurs
    Dec 8 2019

    This week we’re looking at sex slurs for queer women, from muff diver to pussy puncher to bean flicker. Leni and Brendy discuss the implications these terms have on queer sex, how the terms get power from societies patriarchal structures and segue into a discussion about queer sex education in schools.

    Gaydar
    Oct 29 2019

    Gaydar, a mash-up of 'gay' and 'radar', is said to the ability to accurately pick someone's sexuality based only on observation or intuition. Leni & Brendy talk about the stereotypical traits used to assess someone using gaydar, the act of being visibly queer, and how right and wrong they've been with their own gaydar.

    Mary & The Girls
    Oct 14 2019

    The use of she/her pronouns by cis gay men - words like "girl" or “ honey” - is an increasingly visible trend, not to mention calling one another by traditionally female names. Leni and Brendy discuss the practice of switching gender pronouns as a way of embracing femininity and creating a shared culture around names like Mary, Nancy and Nellie, to name only a few.
