A Very Sapphic Podcast

The Trouble with the Lesbian Masterdoc

MC Hutson, Kay, and Staisy Episode 62

We are chatting with Lucy (obsessivelemon on TikTok) about the infamous Lesbian Masterdoc, which has been passed around online as a guide to understanding lesbian identity — but what happens when the foundation of that document is shaky? In this episode, we dig into the problems with a text written by a 16‑year‑old bisexual girl who, in many ways, seemed to be talking herself out of being bisexual. We’ll unpack how the document blurred boundaries, reinforced harmful stereotypes, and contributed to confusion and erasure in lesbian spaces.
