Hello and welcome to Queer as Fact, the podcast bringing you queer history from around the world and throughout time.

I'm Alice.

I'm Irene.

And today we're talking about Alice Anderson, the owner of the first all-female garage in Australia.

I'd like to acknowledge the Yalakut-Willam clan of the Bunwarang.

We pay our respect to their elders, past and present, and we acknowledge and uphold their

continuing relationship to the land on which this podcast is recorded.

Before we begin this episode, I have a few content warnings.

We're going to be briefly mentioning death by drowning.

There's also going to be

mentions of suicide, discussions of an accidental death by shooting, and historical

misogyny and queer phobia. If any of that sounds like something you don't want to hear,

feel free to skip this episode and check out any of our other episodes. They all have content

warnings at the beginning. This is like an idle off-topic question.

But what motivates your decisions in content mornings to say queer phobia sometimes and homophobia sometimes and transphobia sometimes?

I think it really just depends on the specific thing.

Like in this case, it's kind of quite vague and just directed at people assigned female

birth who aren't conforming to what society expects of them.

So that's why I've said queer phobia, whereas it was specifically directed at like two female birth who aren't conforming to what society expects of them. So that's why I said queer phobia, whereas specifically directed at like two women sleeping together,

that I would say homophobia.

Yeah.

So yeah, I would just say queer phobia as like a general catch-all.
