Lesbophobia Is Alive And Well!

Hello lesbians! It's definitely been a minute since you last heard from us, but we are back now, dedicating a whole episode to a very important topic that is not talked about enough: lesbophobia and how prevalent it is nowadays. In this episode, we dive into all the different ways lesbophobia shows up: from the constant invalidation we face when people question our identities or try to redefine them for us, how heavily sexualised we are just for existing, the fascinating political lesbianism and how the term is misused to harm us. We talk about the fetishisation that creeps into media and everyday interactions, the erasure that happens both inside and outside the queer community, amongst other topics! We share some of your experiences and some of our own, our frustrations, and we unpack why these patterns keep happening. Join us on our socials: Subreddit - r/LesBinIt (Share your stories with us!)
