  • Highly damaging

    I really enjoyed this podcast and it helped so much right after I came out. The Betty Who one did it for me though. People like her are so damaging to the lesbian community. She’s a bi curious straight woman. Disgusting and damaging to lesbians looking for validation and knowing their experiences are normal and okay. 🤢 unfollowing.

    I’m a 66 year old womyn and came across this podcast just by happenstance. The content and in-depth discussions has really helped me to understand and relate to my past and the impacts it has had on my emotional mental health over the years. Suppression, Miss representing in order to fit in. Imposter

  • Promising pod, missed the mark

    I started out loving this podcast, as a queer person looking for content made by people like me. I find her recent guests (Betty Who and Fletcher) particularly damaging to an already hurting community. I’m disappointed Mal didn’t stick up for lesbians more with both of those guests. She seemed to agree and validate their tasteless and tone deaf takes. I unfollowed this podcast.

  • Shameful

    Not standing up for the lesbian community (and actively agreeing) while Betty Who shames us is a disgrace and the reason I will never subscribe or listen to this channel

  • Had potential, lost the plot

    I started out loving this podcast as a late in life queer. But recently the platform and mic have been given to people spouting very damaging ideas and the host gives no pushback. (Betty and Fletcher, looking at these two specifically.) very disappointing.
