Sex Slurs

<description>&lt;p&gt;Gaydar, a mash-up of 'gay' and 'radar', is said to the ability to accurately pick someone's sexuality based only on observation or intuition. Leni &amp;amp; Brendy talk about the stereotypical traits used to assess someone using gaydar, the act of being visibly queer, and how right and wrong they've been with their own gaydar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Word of the Gay records fortnightly at Castaway Studios in Melbourne, Australia.

Gaydar

<description>&lt;p&gt;The use of she/her pronouns by cis gay men - words like "girl" or&amp;nbsp;“ honey”&amp;nbsp;- is an increasingly visible trend, not to mention calling one another by traditionally female names. Leni and Brendy discuss the practice of&amp;nbsp;switching gender pronouns&amp;nbsp;as a way of embracing femininity and&amp;nbsp;creating a shared culture around names like Mary, Nancy and Nellie, to name only a few.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Word of the Gay records fortnightly at Castaway Studios in Melbourne, Australia.
