Rachel gives context for Stone Butch Disco’s more explicit recent politics around affirming sex-based reality for butch/femme lesbians, while still holding the sex vs. gender linguistic distinction central to SBD’s theoretical work. More to come on that front in future episodes.
We forgot to add our updated intro when we put this out earlier this week, so we’re pushing this out again for a re-rerelease.🙃 Enjoy!
We've said it before and we'll say it again: Lesbians need linguists!
Kari and Rachel talk gender and sex terminology in Spanish and English (Mexico City and Dallas), and Rachel tries in vain to fit Kari's story about her ceramics teacher into a template of the pottery scene from Ghost. We're experts on neither our own nor each other's cultures, so cross-cultural comparisons are speculative.
