@honeysucklnfib I fear they did 😣

[laure⚢🧡🤍🩷 @laurmichap]

to be clear I love the word lesbian and being a lesbian

[gemiana ꕤ 𖾕𖾝꙼ᩚ𛲕𖾟 @dyketrospection]

enough of this wlw shit too they’re LESBIANS

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@plainpotatotay This is just how I feel about the topic, and I just wish more non-lesbians who date other women would just call themselves something else (6/6)

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@plainpotatotay Love that you, a bisexual, are standing up for les4les!

Just a friendly reminder that only lesbians are in lesbian relationships and that the term should not be used to refer to all sapphic relationships.

I feel like it does a disservice to lesbians as well as non lesbians.

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@plainpotatotay other terms you could call your relationship. Why call it lesbian? Lesbianism is so unique and exclusive. By using the term "lesbian," you are reducing it to merely same-sex attraction. Again, really not trying to get into an argument or go back and forth (5/6)

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@plainpotatotay Appears a certain way (same sex) doesn't mean you need to call it that. Just because there are people in this world that will call anything lesbian doesn't mean we have to continue to use it. Ts might have been ok 10 years ago, but things are different now.
There are so many(4/5)

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@plainpotatotay That term and instead use something that fits your sexuality, and your first thought is to completely dismiss me, tracks.

Also, it doesn't matter what you've been called. It doesn't give you the A-OK to call your relationship lesbian. Just because your relationship (3/5)

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@plainpotatotay Calling everything lesbian and using it synonymously with sapphic is frustrating and dismissive.

Again, it doesn't matter if you were with a lesbian; it takes two to make it a lesbian relationship. The fact you're hearing a lesbian say that you should refrain from using (2/5)

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@plainpotatotay Ok cool, glad you know you're not a lesbian. I don't have a problem with you calling your relationship sapphic; I actually think you should bc that's what it is! That's the umbrella term for all wlw/wlnb. You could also call it same sex, but lesbian is just incorrect.
(1/?)

@ChicagoQueenie @Radic_Rascal (bc she was with john) but seriously it did not give a bisexual who was just having a hard time "reaching her pinnacle" 😭

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@ChicagoQueenie @Radic_Rascal But here comes Micheala and suddenly she has all these feelings. She tried so hard to like and get there sexually with John. I felt like it was clear her marriage was arranged, she cared for him, but not in romantic or sexual way. I do understand why some people want her to be bi

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@ChicagoQueenie @Radic_Rascal Absolutely!! I first watched the show totally ready to see her and John as a married couple. Even after hearing everyone speculate if she were bi or a lesbian. But her attraction to men was non existent from what I saw. Every man she interacted with, she didn't give 2 shits about

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@ChicagoQueenie @Radic_Rascal She's a lesbian who has comphet. If you want to watch the series thinking she's bi, do that. But from what I, and many others, have seen on screen, she shows zero signs of being attracted to men. That's not us being biphobic, it's us spotting a lesbian.

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@navinquisition @gojoggum It's exhausting defending our lesbianism and a fictional characters 24/7 🫩

But yes they love to automatically assume these characters are either straight or bi! God forbid she's just a lesbian

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@AzI1j @navinquisition @shondaland The main point of my tweet and the creators was never to diss bisexuals/non-lesbians, it was just us wanting lesbian representation. Which they (bridgerton) gave us for 1 second and backtracked their statement to make it more inclusive for all sapphics. Which is lesbophobic. 3/3

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@AzI1j @navinquisition @shondaland There are quite a few shows that have fluid/bisexual characters like adults, GOT, heartstopper, grey's anatomy, killing eve. The list goes on. The shows might not be focused on sexuality but they definitely do a great protrayal of the bisexual characters, which I love for y'all.

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@AzI1j @navinquisition @shondaland I haven't seen Sterling Point, but I google'd the "lesbian" characters but it keeps defining them as "queer," "gay," or "sapphic." So even the lesbian relationship you give as an example doesn't prove your point. We can just agree to disagree 1/3

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@hasaliily No fr they were so quick to backtrack. Stand on what they really are..lesbians!!

[blushivoryy @OliakaTalks]

@AzI1j @navinquisition @shondaland Literally where? I would love to see it, but when we do get rep it always involves a man or some lesbophobic rhetoric.

There are plenty of shows/movies that have bisexual rep that isn't harmful to their community. I'm not trying to get in a pissing contest w you, I'm just saying
