Summary
Blake’s crushing. Hard. On his new best friend and favorite person: Korry. They spend every day together. They sleep in the same bed together. They plan their futures together. But there are signs that show that Korry might not be feeling the same way about Blake. Blake begins to suspect it has something to do with the fact that Korry’s attracted to straight-acting, masculine-looking, manly men.
And Korry’s not alone.
In this episode, we continue our conversation on gender and femininity and look at what happens when we move out of the heterosexual dating world and into the queer one. Kaitlin assumed that gay and queer life is one big femme-loving genderfuck. But flipping through gay hook-up apps, it’s easy to spot a “no fats, no femmes” trend. So what’s the deal?
Ep 2 of “Pansy”: A season about where masculinity and femininity meet.
Credits: Produced with Julia Alsop. Editorial support by Cassie Wagler. Special thanks to the folks at the Food 4 Thot Podcast and to Julia Serano.

| 0:51.4 | On our last episode we talked about what it's like to be an effeminate, straight man. |
| 1:00.0 | And now we're shifting over into what it's like to be feminine in gay man universe. |
| 1:07.1 | In the last episode we started out with an assumption. And in this episode we will too. |
| 1:14.0 | I'm always really quick to assume that gay people are more progressive when it comes to gender. |
| 1:18.7 | I assume that gay people have queer politics and that queer people are beyond all the bullshit |
| 1:24.0 | that straight people are still stuck in. But that's just not true. |
| 1:30.1 | I would say my experience as someone who's spent a lot of the last 15 to 20 years of my life |
| 1:36.7 | in queer communities, I find that in gay male communities it's often that masculinity is |

| 1:49.6 | the author of the book, Whipping Girl, which we use as a guiding light for this season. |
| 1:54.3 | Often there's a hyper masculinity that's praised within gay male communities. With regards to |
