Queering the Norm
Immy and Romain explore the deep connections between feminism and LGBTQ+ movements, asking what it really means to “queer the norm.” From the legacy of the Stonewall riots to the ongoing push for visibility, they examine how queerness has been both embraced and sidelined within feminist spaces. The conversation unpacks intersectionality and the layered struggles
faced by LGBTQ+ women, including homophobia and transphobia, while also questioning how gender is constructed and how those constructions can both strengthen and limit feminist movements.
