All lesbians deserve respect, support, and community.
Even if they don't fit your personal definition of lesbian.
Self determination is essential to queer liberation.
as an abuse survivor, seeing people say we trans people deserve jail for assault by pouring soup on terfs is really fucking annoying
no, that's not assault
// i // experienced assault
that terf experienced embarrassment
It’s not the norm. It’s purity culture at work.
You’re constantly surveilling yourself and others, and creating a level of psychological unsafety that will not keep you safe.
bisexuals who now says "m/f" pairings instead of "het ships" "hetero ships" and "straight ships" because they think it's saying the characters are straight even though one or both are canonically bisexuals so we say "m/f" pairings instead.
Today's queer character is Calliope 'Cal' Burns (she/her), a lesbian character from First Kill.
She's one of the protagonists and is openly sapphic and heavily implied to be lesbian in the show. All sources I've seen describe her as lesbian!
Masculine lesbians are cherished here. Queer masculinity is beautiful.
Butch lesbians, lesboys, boydykes, and every other lesbian that has been made to feel like an intruder or impostor because of their gender identity or presentation-- you belong here.
"Newcomb (2020) found transgender women and nonbinary youth AMAB experienced higher levels of victimization than transgender men and nonbinary youth AFAB, with nonbinary youth AMAB reporting the highest levels of traumatic stress"
TIL
the whole “does your cishet boyfriend know he’s in a queer relationship?” thing makes me so uneasy. how’re you going to see a fellow queer in a toxic relationship and want to make them feel like it’s their fault??? kinda feels like “why didn’t you just leave your abusive s/o?”
this began as an instance of purposeful + blatant ableist harassment against her.
but because of racism, the accidental misgendering was enough for that to be COMPLETELY disappeared. it was enough to "justify" sending her even more harassment.
never assuming the gender of strangers is the correct thing to do rather than asking ppl to include pronouns in their display name, but yall could not have that convo bc you were too busy vilifying a brown woman you find cringey + assigning malice to her every action
