Who'd've thought that your take on queering pharmacy education could be even funnier than queering music therapy?? you two ... honestly!
Meanwhile, here's something to comment on, next time the week looks thin for lesbian content (never mind supermodels, Julie - what about 'thinner than baby leeks'? have you seen them!? There's a whole programme on lesbian perspectives of vegetables surely ...)
Thank you for another bevy of belly laughs 🤗 I have a request. Would you consider doing maybe a five minute slot focussing on lesbians in history? What they’ve brought to the fight, what were their strengths when publicly addressing what lesbians want & need? Etc Many of your audience know a little bit about a few big names - Germaine, Andrea, Betty Friedan for example. I’d like to listen to your take on lesbians in history both to be better informed and to enjoy your acerbic wit 🤗
Lesbians in history? Wow, there would be many chapters in such a story but it would be a great one. I am about to withdraw for a while to have some surgery but in recovery I might begin a bibliography of sorts. It is easy to find stories now but in the early days it wasn't. Every night, I go to sleep listening to the Audible version of 'Always, Rachel', the letters of Rachel Carson and Dorothy Freeman 🤗
I listened to Podcast 38 in sections and just heard the discussion about lesbians in sport and 'coming out'. Love the acknowledgement of Australians! Here is another acknowledgement of an Australian woman lesbian, sportswoman and opera singer who meant the world to this very young lesbian in 1970. Joan Hammond. It was a very different world of course but Hammond did not hide her sexuality. She lived openly with her partner for years. She was the first such public female achiever I knew about and I still have all her records. I doubt that she would have used the word 'lesbian' about herself but who knows? I wonder if she ever knew how important she was to some of us.
The question I have is - What is in it for lesbians to go along with the queer culture - gender identity etc, particularly when you lose lesbian only spaces, or young lesbians feel they have to trans to be authentic. I get why the younger can be influenced that way, but I don't get why older lesbians support it.
A request: Might we hear a bit more commentary on current events (and possibly a bit less on TV/pop culture)?
I'm in the United States, where Democrats -- the party that once championed women's rights -- have executed a bloodless coup in anointing Kamala Harris as their presumptive presidential nominee. In so doing, party power brokers have neatly sidestepped primaries and denied rank-and-file Democrats a chance to vote for someone more moderate. Harris is even more "woke" than Biden and will do all she can to protect "gender affirming care" and allow males into female space.
That an even more extreme gender acolyte might occupy the White House and continue/intensify efforts to supplant sex with "gender ideology" in American law and policy is disheartening when it seems the tide might actually be starting to turn in the U.S. (I'm voting for Kennedy, though the two-party lock on our system -- never more evident than the Dems/Harris subverting democracy to prevent the GOP/Trump subverting democracy -- means he has no real chance.)
You're each brilliant and well-informed. Might you share your thoughts on this and other important developing stories around the world that have a lesbian/gender ideology angle? (I understand the Cass Review also has gotten some push back from "gender-affirming" professionals in the U.K., and would like to hear your thoughts on that, too.) Maybe a standing segment, along the lines of the academic article of the week?
My standard response to ‘could you be pregnant’ is: ‘Not unless you’ve seen a star in the East.’

Thanks for a Friday laugh x
Thank you for the "Sprint" discovery, and your great commentary. Loved watching it .
Yes, very well done today. Thank you, Julie and Kathleen! 👍🏼❤️
[50:45] Julie's similes were a major factor in me subscribing despite me not being in the demographic, they made me laugh so much!

Hope the surgery goes well and a speedy recovery. That bibliography sounds just what I’m looking for! 🤗

Thanks for your consideration. And, here's the fabulous Abigail Shrier with more on concerns about Harris: https://www.thetruthfairy.info/p/the-democrats-avoid-a-primary-gambit
