Episode 52: Beauty Standards, Part 2
Show Notes
Mary and Wyatt revisit last week’s episode and chat more about beauty standards. Mary talks about what she’s learned from people who have chimed in on social media about cosmetic surgery and unconditional self-love. They also talk about the marginalization of queer femme women and how standards of beauty in the queer community parallel mainstream beauty norms. Wyatt talks about being able to grow a pretty sweet ‘stache.  Also on the agenda: Gay or Straight?, we were wrong about Marvel movies, and poems by Shelby Handler and Jorge Luis Borges.
