The Lesbian Peep Show

Were lesbian feminists really anti-sex killjoys, or have we inherited a convenient story about women who disagreed? Dr. Wendy Mallette, author of Lesbian Feminist Killjoys, joins me to talk about born-again lesbianism, trans women’s place in lesbian history, and our enduring obsession with deciding who counts as a lesbian.
