Are Lesbians Going Extinct? Katie Herzog Reports From The Field


Listen Later

Podcaster and journalist Katie Herzog returns to the podcast to discuss her article Where Have All The Lesbians Gone?, which talked about a trend she's observed wherein many of her lesbian friends are now identifying as transgender or nonbinary. She explains how she sees the nonbinary identity as a "regressive trend" because it ultimately puts limits on gender expression even as it purports to do the opposite. She also talks about the woman who coined the phrase "the future is female," the recent announcement that the actor once known as Ellen Page now identifies as male, and (not unrelatedly) her former career as a professional whitewater kayaker.   An extended version of this interview, along with a longform version of Katie's article, is available on the podcast's Patreon page at Patreon.com/theunspeakable.   Guest Bio:   Katie Herzog is the co-host, with Jesse Singal, of the podcast Blocked and Reported. She is a former writer for Seattle's alternative weekly newspaper, The Stranger.
