    3. She teaches you queer about queerness *without* judging you

    Entering into the world of queer women is like entering a club without being told the code word. Except there are dozens of code words, and it’s hard to get a handle on all of the language at first. Poussey, being Poussey, doesn’t judge.

    Poussey: You admitting you’re a pillow princess?

    Soso: Okay, what is that?

    Poussey: Oh. You know, like, your head is always on the pillow. You don’t really do much else.

    Soso: That’s totally what I am! Oh no. See, I don’t even know the lingo.

    Poussey:  You don’t need to know the lingo.
