88: Rumor Has It pt.1: Duel Interests

This week, Grant asks a big question, "what is a chaos bisexual?". In our quest for an answer, we meet a swashbuckling, gossip-soaked tour of 17th-century icon Julie d’Aubigny—La Maupin—whose résumé reads: sword champion, opera sensation, probable convent-torcher, and certified “chaos bisexual.” He and Maia tease apart legend versus ledger, probing why the historical record keeps misplacing women this unruly and queer. But did she really commit arson in the name of love? Rumor has it, we try to find the truth in the drama. 00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:22:24 Duel Interests 00:32:18 Meet La Maupin 00:41:22 Teenage Rebellion 01:02:35 Nunnery Escape 01:35:23 Ballroom Chaos 02:15:46 Queer History and Propaganda 02:27:42 Legacy and Celebration 02:38:58 Modern Queer Perspectives   Connect with Us Love a good laugh?
