Hear ye, hear ye! All rise for the overlord of lesbian Twitter, Jill Gutowitz (she / her). The self-appointed ruler has made it her duty to “consume as much gay stuff as possible, and shout about it from a high lesbian tower.” She also wrote about it (probably while shouting) in her new essay collection, Girls Can Kiss Now.

We asked the Jersey girl about all things lesbian culture, from the reclamation of Dakota Johnson to the innate queerness of oat milk. (Sorry, straights, better stick to almond.)

What is lesbian Twitter?
It stems from Tumblr and is a space for queer women to scream about which famous people we want to stomp on us.

What is “stomp on me” culture?
For me, it’s a repression lash from not being able to express sexual desire for so long, that it now comes out in violent displays. I can’t just say, “I think Cate Blanchett is hot.” It has to be the most aggressive expression like, “I want Cate Blanchett to hit me with a bus while in her suit.”

You say girls can kiss now, but when did they first start kissing?
Well, I would say when Lucy—the original human being—met a woman. Literally since the dawn of time, but the 2010s is really when queer female culture exploded into the mainstream.

Have gay men been treated differently than gay women in pop culture?
Gay men have so much violent trauma in our culture, but I think they have been visible for a longer time. I hear from so many women that they didn’t know they were queer until their mid-to-late 20s, and I think much of that is because we have had less visibility.

Who do you think is a queer icon whom straight people mistakenly claim?
Dakota Johnson. She had her moment with the 50 Shades franchise and became this beacon of heterosexuality, but queer women are obsessed with her! So I’m like, “The straights don’t get to have her anymore.”

What’s your favorite lesbian film?
Imagine Me & You is one of the only really good lesbian rom-coms. I would say that’s tied with The Kids Are All Right.

What is the most lesbian liquid, and how did you determine this?
Definitely oat milk. So many of us are lactose intolerant, and there’s a level of pretentiousness about it. Lesbians love hanging out in a coffee shop and getting their $8 pour-over with a splash of alt milk. It’s a vibe.

How would you describe lesbian culture in five words?
Loud, horny, justifiably furious, hot.
