- THE BI LESBIAN EDUCATION MASTERPOST -
The term "bi lesbian" started within original lesbian circles around the 80s, when bi and trans people were happily accepted in most lesbian communities and their usage of the term was freely accepted.
@DarkCoffe4@Irisallenwestx and "lesbophobic and biphobic" if that is directed at me then lord are you out of touch with queer history and how queer labels are complex for much of the community

@DarkCoffe4@Irisallenwestx are you saying this to me or the previous person? because saying nonbinary isnt just a third gender is literally what i was saying in my tweet. im literally nonbinary, i know how it works, its a huge range of genders as i said.
@Irisallenwestx women and nb people IS 2+ genders. people can use bi, lesbian, OR bi lesbian if they like women and enbies, or maybe other labels, as nonbinary encompasses Many genders.
im nonbinary & really wish people would actually acknowledge this IS mspec (whether labeled as such or not)
@HopeIris_ gay is an umbrella term for many, and im not pan gay personally but some ways its used can be for split attraction, abro attraction (fluid attraction), theyre omnique and so theyre always gay for who theyre attracted to, and various other ways!
trying to convince people to use a radfem term (febfem) instead of using bi lesbian, when radfems forced bi women out of the lesbian term bc theyre "associating with the enemy" and "aiding in their own oppression" is incredibly tone deaf
@nopenopnonope@scretladyspider bi lesbian is used in a lot of ways, like biromantic homosexual or vice versa, liking women and enbies (with enbies who may not typically fall under lesbian attraction), questioning if youre bi or lesbian, have confusing attraction, or a lot of other ways.
