Episode Description from the Publisher

Studs aren’t a vibe, they’re a lineage. We’re unpacking the history, politics, and lived reality of Black masculine lesbians at the crossroads of race, gender, and desire. From the swagger and softness, Harlem Renaissance sapphics, stud vs butch, AGs, Stud4Stud discourse, toxic masculinity, and why Black masculinity plays by different rules. Joined by Elisabeth Clarke, Nadine Wiltshire, and Kiké, we dig into stereotypes, erasure, dating myths, and the radical tenderness at the core of stud identity. oin Our Patreon: https://patreon.com/QueerCollective?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink CONTACT US Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queer.collective/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@queercollectivepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/queer.collective.to/ Website: https://www.queercollectiveto.com/ Email: queer.collective.to@gmail.com 00:00 What is a stud? 05:00 The toxic expectations 12:11 Recreating masculinity 19:12 It's because you're black 24:31 Stud on stud clash 35:03 Who can be a stud? 1:03:04 Know your stud history 1:16:04 Black vs white lesbian division 1:31:21 What can femmes do better?
