We are on our second Subaru – it’s easy to get in & out of, which is better than trying to mimic various yoga positions with cars that sit lower. Fun historical advertising fact: Martina Navratilova was the original spokesperson for Subaru in the U.S.. Loved those commercials. Maybe she has some clips you could post.
Back in the dawn of time, this model of vehicle featured in a Lisa Alther novel. I remember my friend Helen looking up from reading it and asking, with the bewildered disdain of a High Court Judge, 'what's a Subaru?' Ha!
I think that Cosmo article is shallow rubbish. Like Kath said, it is currently fashionable for CELEBRITY women to call themselves lesbians (or even for straight women pop stars to have some homoeroticism in their concerts or music videos, like Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter).
I think it was inevitable that celebrities and influencers start to specify they identify as lesbians rather than queer, because queer is now so popular and common, its cultural value has been diminished. It’s the same sort of phenomenon as influencers and celebs suddenly undoing their breast and BBL implants and wearing less makeup, adopting the “natural girl” look because nowadays so many ordinary women engage in fillers and Botox and some plastic surgeries.
I think among average young women (at least in my country) calling yourself queer isn’t a gateway to accepting yourself as a lesbian, it’s a gateway towards calling yourself non-binary or “transmasc”.
As we know, queer theory and gender identity ideology do the opposite of helping people make peace with who they really are!
Lesbian voice? Ha! The very topic I was contemplating yesterday!I was in the Heals bit of Fenwicks
store in Newcastle .(It’s great,can’t afford anything it’s that kind of shopping).I overheard two women talking furniture, and before I saw them,I heard two lesbians! Dont ask me to analyse.Suffice it to say when I saw them they had skinny jeans,short hair leather jackets (as well as “lesbian voice” ) ha ha pity about the Subaru….
A suggestion for the sexual identity of the week: Plural ((Plurality -or multiplicity- is the existence of multiple self-aware entities inside one physical brain). It's something between Trans and Multiple Personality Disorder (only they don't see it as a disorder).
Is there any research on the topic of elevated testosterone in lesbians? I think it’s super interesting but I’ve never read anything about it either way. Only heard Kath speak about it.
The Subaru thing is so true in the States! I wanted one for years, but didn't get mine (used Forester, manual transmission) until 2012, after a couple of pick-up trucks. (I'm a lesbian automotive stereotype.) Room in the hatch (or boot), high profile, no-nonsense appearance and all-wheel drive are all big sellers for lesbians, who are both more practical and have lower voices than straight women. :) I also like the sharper lines of older models, but then my first car was a three-on-the-tree Dodge Dart, affectionately referred to as "boxy baby" or "bland mobile."
Fuming at the crass response of various public 'identities' to the Supreme Court ruling is a natural reaction. At least, you were soon laughing in today's podcast, and so were we. Thank you 🤗. There is a lezzer support web with you both, all over the globe.

Great episode.

Found this nicely succinct literature review:

Could ask chatGPT
Remember the Subaru promo in The L Word? That used 'Get out and stay out' in about 2005.
Further to the pitch of women’s voices in general here is a link to an article (written by a freelance journalist ) in 2018

Dear Julie and Kathleen,
Fuming at the crass response of various public 'identities' to the Supreme Court ruling is a natural reaction. At least, you were soon laughing in today's podcast, and so were we. Thank you 🤗. There is a lezzer support web with you both, all over the globe.
Did Aunty Kathleen change the way she dressed when she started lezzering or has she changed it since then?
No links to the recipes? :o
Hey - how about Vogue does an article on you two and puts you on the cover? That would be so cool. If they asked you, would you do it??
A first year logic class in the Scottish accent, I’d pay for that.
Yeah, I would too actually.
