addressing the biphobia discourse, battling internet ignorance, & our Fearless (Taylor's Version) x reputation era

Welcome to season 3 of The Lavender Menace! Today we are forgoing our typical three part structure to complain about recent allegations, internet happenings, online battles... Sunny is in their reputation era again, thanks to overly online bisexuals accusing Sunny of being overly online while flooding them with violent online harassment. As Sunny's number one defender (and number one hater,) Renaissance talks about the overwhelming whiteness involved with people getting angry over lesbians speaking the obvious. We reference season 1 episode 4 throughout this episode, so if you haven't listened to that one yet, you should do that! We talk about how lesbophobia is the legitimate unique amalgamation of systemic oppression people seem to think biphobia is, and break down every single talking point we've been seeing floating around due to the accidental launching of this round of LGBTQ discourse. Renaissance discusses how the internet phenomenon of hating on reading theory and complex, necessary vocabulary usage is frustrating as hell, we rant about the ridiculousness of accusing Sunny being a TERF or transphobic in their talking points, and how nothing Sunny or Renaissance said was wrong. Much love to our listeners who've supported us through the insanity of the past several weeks of getting collectively dogpiled on.
