Sex Slurs

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

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

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.

Gay Best Friend

If there’s a woman on TV having relationship problems, you better believe there's a sassy gay stereotype giving her wise and insightful advice. In the early naughties, the gay best friend almost became a sign of status for the cultured, inner-city lady. Leni and Brendy break down how the GBF stereotype has changed from an accessory to the staring role and the importance of the gay male & straight female friendship when "coming out”.

Lesbian Bed Death

Lesbian Bed Death refers to the so-called phenomena that happens in lesbian relationships where sex declines and then ceases to exist completely. Leni and Brendy discuss reasons sex in long-term relationships may stop, how the theory frames lesbian sex and how it differs from sex with men.

Ally

There has been a lot of discussion about what an LGBT+ ally is and isn’t, but to most people, an LGBT+ ally is a heterosexual person who supports equal rights, gender equality, queer social movements, and tries to challenge all the phobias when they see it occurring. Leni and Brendy discuss iconic LGBT+ allies throughout history, queer-baiting by pop stars, and whether an extra ‘A’ should be added to the acronym.

Brendy & Leni take you on a cheeky ride through the gay lexicon. You’ve probably heard all these words or even seen them on TV, but do you their his/herstory? Through their research, thoughtful discussion, & personal experiences they explore the richness and fabulousness of our queer language & cultures. It’s like kiki-ing with your friends, & I’m busting up whilst listening to them on the bus or at the gym. Keep serving up that good tea! Y’alls are giving me life every time an episode comes out.
