To me, queerness is all about blurring those lines and expanding our sense of self-definition and our ability to self-define.
Ever been labeled something you're not? In this episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', hosts Leilah Feinstein and Erica Sosa dive deep into the fluid nature of gender and sexuality, particularly focusing on femmes. Leilah opens up about her own experiences of having her queerness doubted and erased by both straight and queer communities. It's a raw and honest look at the pressures to 'prove' one's identity in a world that often demands rigid definitions.
The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like the hostility femmes and trans women face in a patriarchal society that insists on policing femininity. They tackle the meaning of 'femme' as a queer term and how it has evolved over time. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to rethink what we know about gender norms and to embrace the diverse spectrum of human identity.
If you've ever felt boxed in by labels or questioned your own beliefs about gender and sexuality, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just informative; it's a call to embrace self-definition and celebrate the ever-expanding possibilities of who we can be.
