Labels were a big part of Jillian Abby's memoir, Perfectly Queer. In this episode, she and Treisha Peterson, P.h.D. discuss labels from all angles-- the good, the confusing, and why gatekeeping should not even be a part of the labeling equation. Jill discusses why "Queer" was intentionally included in her book title and how she hopes to take the charge out of the word. Treisha discussed a Starbucks interaction that taught her more about labeling others and how to have a productive conversation to help others.
