I really wish I had some screenshots left from the early days of wlw discourse to kind of. show where the whole femme/butch shit started bc I feel like nowadays there’s not many ppl still on the site who were involved? like it’s not common in the same way bc the Cool Liberal Thing nowadays is to use femme as a catch all for anyone feminine looking but there was this huge thing for a while where any cis q***r woman in kink would call themselves femme and they all hated lesbians for like. existing or smth?? the whole thing was confusing bc looking back many of these women were probably being abused by the (mainly straight) men they were dating but some seemed to legit be predators considering how many followed me, a 15/16 y/o with a pink aesthetic blog who had multiple extremely nsfw kink blogs following me
and it sounds so fucking fake now bc most of those weirdos have left this site or got over their obnoxious liberal phase so now you just have a bunch of angry lesbians who were really young when this shit went down and everyone else confused bc they didn’t see it since really only lesbians gave a shit
#joker.txt#like honestly since i joined tumblr the lesbophobia on this site has gone down so fucking much#you used to have every other lgbt post claiming lesbians as these horrible intracommunity oppressors who invented transmisogyny#and i only remember it so clearly bc it quite literally aided in my trauma and how my rapist abused me after we broke up#and i sincerely bought into it and hated myself for being a lesbian#and for so so long felt no connection to femme bc i only ever saw women dating men with kinky relationships using it#like its good that young wlw will never fucking see this shit! but its bad for discourse bc people really just. dont have sympathy for#the lesbians now in our early 20s who grew up on tumblr and were exposed to it#bc again. only lesbians gave a shit about this at the time#gbt people didnt pay attention to the discourse until it evolved into ‘if you arent lesbian dont use femme/butch’#(which initially was ‘men stop using femme’ and caused a whole other issue we thankfully barely have on tumlr now)#and cishets ofc have never once cared about Any of us
