Is Kendrick Lamar Transphobic?

from Girlish Hosted by Gage Adkins & Olivia Noel

CW: Gage & Olivia are discussing homophobic slurs and will say them in context to the main story of this episode. A reminder that these slurs should not be used if you are not a part of the LGBTQ+ community. The two have had a long history of being harassed with these words throughout their entire transition. There is weight to this word and the two hope to be able to entertain with their reclamation to satirize the realities of homophobia/transphobia. On this week's episode of the Girlish Podcast, Gage and Olivia go over the most popular stories in the news! Marvel has a new character... and she's TRANS? Marvel's Pride #1 is set to release late June and the two discuss their feelings over a trans superhero in the Marvel universe! Lastly, Kendrick Lamar dropped an album that had many in the trans community divided. His song "Auntie Diaries" highlights Lamar's journey with understanding his trans family members. Do we think he's transphobic? Is it ok for him to use the "F-Slur"? Listen to our thoughts on this episode of Girlish!
