They break down what sapphic actually means, why bi women get treated as secretly straight (or not queer enough), and how \"gold star\" purity tests and political lesbianism collapse into transphobia. The conversation widens into heteropessimism, fandom's discomfort with femslash, the whiteness of biphobic discourse, and a eulogy-adjacent “discussion” of Gloria Steinem — before closing out with a stacked round of bisexual-lead romance recommendations.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Topics:</strong> sapphic marketing, bisexual erasure, biphobia, gold star gays, political lesbianism, compulsory heterosexuality, heteropessimism, Achillean romance, M/M romance, WLW romance, Heated Rivalry, fandom shipping discourse, femslash, transphobia, How to Get Away With Murder, Annalise Keating, age-gap romance, white feminism, Gloria Steinem, poly romance, why choose romance, queer romance</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Reading Recommendations:&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Fiction:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Vengefully Matched by Audrey Goldberg Ruoff</strong></li><li>Two for Tea by CM Nascosta</li><li>Romancing the Werewolf by Gail Carriger</li><li>Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert</li><li>The Art of Three by Erin McRae and Racheline Maltese</li><li><a href=\"https://littlefooleryshop.com/collections/small-town-witch\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Small Town Witch</a> by Alex Singer (story) and Jayd Aït-Kaci (art)</li><li>Every Kit Rocha book, basically but <a href=\"https://www.kitrocha.com/series/the-sectors/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Sectors </a>specifically</li><li>A Rational Arrangement by L Rowyn</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow &amp; Support:</strong></p><p>Follow us on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/pagesandprejudicepod?igsh=YnlpbGRvYjdzNTg5\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a>.</p><p>Send inquiries to <a href=\"mailto:pagesandprejudicepod@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pagesandprejudicepod@gmail.com</a>.</p><p>Buy merch on <a href=\"https://pagesandprejudice.threadless.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Threadless</a> or<a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/cw/PagesandPrejudice\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> become a Patron</a> to support the show!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Hosted by:</strong></p><p>adrie rose (@adrierising on bsky, twitter, instagram, &amp; tiktok)</p><p>Stitch (@stitch on bsky, @stitchmediamix on instagram)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Music: </strong><a href=\"https://www.silvermansound.com/free-music/holy-moly\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>⁠⁠HOLY MOLY⁠⁠</strong></a><strong> by Shane Ivers</strong></p>","author_name":"Adrie Rose, Stitch"}
