The 30 Most Popular Autostraddle Posts Of 2021

A graphic that reads End Of Year Lists 2021

Welcome to our annual look back at which new posts inspired the most readers to travel to our little website in the year of our thwarted gods 2021.

Last year, I counted “updates to old streaming lists” as new posts (like my list of Lesbian Movies to Watch un Hulu), because the amount of changes that are made to those lists when I update and republish them really does qualify them as new posts. However, it seems that they will be making the Top 20 every year forever, which isn’t very exciting, so I decided to exclude them for 2021. I am full of unpredictable but delightful bouts of whimsy and indecisiveness!
