Queer Femme Identity: A Candid Chat with Deborah Fritter on A Stripper's Guide

Humans are complicated, and so if you are a human who happens to be femme, you are constantly, throughout your life, battling oversimplification.
What does it mean to be a queer femme in a world that often misunderstands and oversimplifies gender and identity? In this episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', hosts Leilah Feinstein and Deborah Fritter dive into the intricacies of queer femme erasure. They share personal stories of defending their identities, navigating friendships with cis men, and dealing with misogyny within queer spaces.
Both in their 30s, Leilah and Deborah discuss the unique challenges and joys of embracing their queerness after years of being presumed straight. This episode isn't just about heavy topics; it also includes light-hearted digressions like cat butts and juicy gossip from 2004. Leilah and Deborah's conversation is both enlightening and entertaining, offering a nuanced look at the complex experiences of queer femmes. If you're curious about the intersection of queerness, friendship, and identity, this episode is a must-listen.
