Episode notes
This week’s dilemma: would you rather have endless ways to describe identity and include everyone… or simplify everything into one universal way of speaking?
We spiral from an unexpected voguing class into pronouns, gendered language, awkward compliments, and how one word can completely change meaning. Somewhere between “hands-on” and “handsome,” we try to make sense of it all.
