Wives Not Sisters

The TERF Talk


Listen Later

In this episode, Alix & Kayla dive into the internet discourse that blew up:
Are lesbians allowed to have dating preferences—specifically around bi women or trans women—without being labeled discriminatory or TERFs? Check out the post that started the comments war HERE!

This conversation isn’t about exclusion—it's about autonomy, nuance, and consent in queer dating.

🎙️ Whether you agree or disagree, you’ll want to be in the comments for this one.

10:39 – When “preferences” go viral
12:15 – What TERF actually means
16:44 – “Are we TERFs?”
22:28 – Sexual preference vs. discrimination
30:02 – Should we question our preferences?
38:30 – “Why say it out loud?”
43:26 – Preferences in queer culture (femme for femme, masc, etc.)
