Is there anything more privileged then setting yourself up as the group that gets to decide what does and does not constitute a privilege? Weird flex straight people, but passing is not all it’s cracked up to be. Living in a cis-het mono/alo world (with a bias towards religion) is fun enough without having to pretend it’s a pleasure to be placed in somebody else’s party. This week Nate Smith and Helen Greene join me on the show to pick apart the supposed privilege of passing and pay penance for our queer cards. Catch the show below and be sure to check back afterwards for some footNOTES!
