I don’t agree with the term bi lesbian but I think that while dunking on them ppl should also acknowledge that the label on exists because of the issues t*rfs and political lesbians brought with them in the 80s-90s and the fact that a lot of that bigotry is still prevalent in the sapphic community to this day.

#this is a take I post hesitantly #bc I have no interest in even getting semi involved in this discussion but like #often the rebuttals really do ignore that the term was created in the 80s-90s #after so many lesbians trans women and bi women were kicked out of the sapphic community #during the rise of t*rfism in the space #and that does need to be addressed #and as we see trfs and trfs lites again gaining traction #while I don’t support the label I’m also not surprised ppl are starting to use #it but ultimately it comes down to both communiual and internal biphobia #as well as bi erasure #limiting what bisexuality means and is #so ppl think that being bi means men and women or even that you have to like men #when it never has meant just that
