Note

Uh, context?

someone said people calling themselves bi lesbians are the reason lesbians get sexually harassed by straight men in bars and it was so painfully cruelly stupid and victim blaming that i saw red. and then i was like you know what fuck y'all, I'm not staying in this tar pit, because twitter had already been making me miserable for a while

can y'all stop showing me people gossiping about me behind my back. it's rude that they're doing it in public, but it's their business what they think of me & I don't want to see that either.

#note also that ''bi lesbian'' is a lable I've so far seen used almost exclusively by trans women and nb transfemmes #to describe their complex relationship between gender and queer womanhood when ''woman'' alone doesn't exactly feel like the right word #and that is very VERY niche. very few people actually use it it's rare you'll meet someone IRL who does.#so the whole internet complex and discourse circus that got built up around it��especially with excuses such as #''it's THIS very tiny minority's fault real (woman) lesbians get assaulted!!!'' was undoubtedly informed by transmisogyny #answered asks
