So men & trans people get to set sexual boundaries that should be respected, but lesbians don’t. They should be harassed & shamed into thinking & believing they want sexual experiences that they don’t. This is rape culture & harmful to young lesbians 🚩🚩
t4t was created bc trans people experience life in a very different way, and may only want to be with someone that understands how its like to live in a transphobic world amoung many other factors — c4c does NOT need to exist.
@goo_bers@cybrrbabe_@leeknowslesbos@jetzchiclete So lesbians and gay men aren’t normal for being same-sex attracted?? Homophobia 2026 style. Please keep up this kind of talk because it’s not shaming us, it’s just showing your true colours.
As someone who been to conversion therapy through almost my entire teenage life, I actually was told that same sex attraction isn’t real and is a fetish. Literally what yall say to us all the time lmaoo
“But I’m a Cheerleader!” (1999) was initially dismissed by critics who misinterpreted its campy nature. However, they overlooked its genuine exploration of identity and repression. Over time, the film has gained much-deserved recognition.
@sappholives83 Exactly why lesbians & gays going along with ‘trans = the sex they claim to be’ is so dangerous. Young people often haven’t developed the tools and strength to go against societal pressures & resist things they know are wrong for them
As a lesbian, very happy for other lesbians to see me as a sexual being, seen as I am one. And because I know you also have the incredible ability to simultaneously see women as full human beings with personalities, talents, and inner lives. Female multitasking 💅
Re-watched nine to five last night and had forgotten how bonkers and brilliant it is. Must have been so revolutionary in the 1980s because it sadly still feels quite radical and subversive now.
I honored Dolly Parton this weekend the only way I know how: firing up Nine to Five (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) for the hundredth time. Rewatching a film that released in 1980, I’m reminded that this film was the start of something special in Cinema. Nine to Five ushered in the dawn of a new era in which films about female empowerment were finally given a small shred of the limelight: A League of Their Own, The First Wives Club & Thelma and Louise are all ‘90s films that walked down the path paved by the work done by Parton, Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin in this exact film. All of which is a reminder that Dolly Parton was a trailer-blazer. She waited for no one. She changed my expectations of what a person can achieve in life. Rewatching this film after her passing & as the first of this trio to go? Painful as all hell.
When you read tributes to Dolly Parton, I think it’s important to keep in mind some of the people paying tribute to Parton because one should always ask themselves “well, would Parton actually approve of this person who is now singing her praises when she’s gone?”. I don’t often get political in my reviews but it’s worth mentioning that in this film, Parton/Fonda/Tomlin play characters who are….gulp….socialists. They break down the barriers of capitalism, kidnap their boss, and proceed to implement company policies that include equal pay for male and females, on-site daycare, a company rehab program for substance abuse, flexible work house, and a job-sharing program. In other words, Parton/Fonda/Tomlin are all fighting for something 50 years ago that is still incredibly relevant today.
There’s an extra emotional punch - something incredibly raw packed in a rewatch of this film - knowing that Parton/Fonda/Tomlin literally walked the walk in real life in the years after making this film. They didn’t just sign up for Nine to Five to make a fun movie that would sell at the box office. In the years after making this movie, all three of them advocated for women. They fought for equal pay. They stood for equal rights.
I think that’s why losing Parton feels literally like a load of bricks - it feels like we are watching an era go by before our very eyes. If you were a ‘90s kid like me, I think you probably took for granted that people like Dolly Parton or Robert Duvall - those who were so damn good at their craft & did with sheer class - would just come around/be around forever. I was a fool for taking public figures like them for granted. We now recognize in this godless society how rare it is for someone like Parton to grace our presence. Gifted. Empathetic. Incredibly human.
What made Parton so popular - other than her sheer talent for singing & acting - was her ability to relate to people. I can picture her literally moving publicists out of the way. She didn’t need media training, she was above PR. Parton spoke from the heart & shot from the hip and in doing so, connected with millions of people across the globe. Think about that, across the globe. Parton was international. The entire world is mourning her loss, not just America. It’s because she knew how to connect to a person’s soul without ever knowing anything about them. She was an honest, authentic artist. And we are losing them rapidly.
