Umbrella terms (queer/gay/sapphic) are great and serve a purpose but can we start actually saying "lesbian" out loud again? Erasing the word just to make characters more “palatable” to mainstream audiences needs to stop. Lesbian isn't a dirty word. 🗣️✨
kind of upsetting to see lesbian being erased with queer in real time, bc the term is so stigmatized and a lot of the time dismissed by others. unfortunately, that article is just another example of that erasure
