#bcus yall fucking suck and are always out for someones blood even if they didnt do a fucking thing but simply exist as themselves

its really weird how queer communities on twitter have become more inclusive of queer identities than on tumblr? like im so glad the ones i involve myself in dont treat labels like fandoms or saying that certain identities can be "contradictory" while in the process erasing enormous chunks of the overall queer community. if theres one thing tumblr desperately needs to understand is that no one else gets to decide ur identity for u, ESPECIALLY if its bcus they dont understand how u actually identify or why.

since i know a lot of u are probably itching to know, yes im referring to bi lesbians. its no fucking coincidence that almost every single bi lesbian ive met have been a trans woman or nonbinary & yet its the identity that receives some of the nastiest backlash despite being an identity decades older than the average userbase on tumblr lmfao.

no, cis men arent pretending to be lesbians bcus of this label. they do that anyways bcus theyre lesbophobic. no, cis men are not going to think its okay to hit on lesbians bcus of this label. they do that anyways bcus theyre lesbophobic & biphobic to blame queer ppl for the queerphobia of cis men. full stop.

learn ur queer history guys im not fucking joking its really embarrassing watching you all parrot dog whistles from 80s political lesbian talking points ("lesbian means doesnt like men" is probably the one yall the say most until ur blue in the face, even though historically it had always meant "likes women" UNTIL political lesbian separatists started attacking, policing, and excluding members of the lesbian community that had always been a huge integral part of their community.) by redefining lesbian to mean "doesnt like men" they could use transphobia & biphobia to push out trans & bi women, as well as butches, all for having a "relationship to masculinity" (a huge reason why many butch lesbian bars disappeared around that time & immediately after). its why it will never be a equitable or historically accurate definition of lesbian. especially when lesbian is already an m-spec term, unless youre implying all nonbinary ppl can be lumped with all women, which i really shouldnt have to say is nby/transphobic as fuck.

please use critical thinking & stop attacking other queers who arent doing anything but identifying in a way that offends ur ignorant, bigoted sensitivities

also dont message me about this bcus its exhausting trying to talk to ppl who cant use google at all apparently. i cant tell yall the number of ppl who only try to "talk" to me about this so they can impose their (morally and historically wrong) opinions on me when i know for a fucking fact ive read & learned more about bi lesbianism from actual historical sources than they have, or are willing to (lavender woman comes to mind off the top of my head, & no, random carrds with unsourced info dont count as historical sources)
