So Much Queer Discourse Is Just "i Like Pancakes" "so You Hate Waffles?" Type Shit

i didn’t realize the pope was that big a deal. why are people at work talking about him so much? i thought he was like, just a guy. the news is on and people are crying in the crowd seeing this guy

i wish we could go back to before covid when all the normies thought fandom spaces were cringe. it was so peaceful then. we were left to our own shit and they worried about rewatching pretty little liars for the 10th time, or whatever.

i am actually surrounded by idiots

ahhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAAAAHHHAHHHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHHAAAHAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry. i keep reading things about our current political state in this fucking country and it’s making me viscerally angry (i’m terrified)

Nobody:

JD Vance:

why do i keep finding so many radfem/terf/etc takes in the he/him lesbian and lesboy tags? if you hate us so much, pls ignore us. your weird ass take about why i can’t be a he/him butch bc it’s actually just ‘internalized misogyny’ is not gonna rewire my brain to make me agree with you. we aren’t the ones chronically online. the butchs and he/she’s and boydykes of lesbian history can tell you that. we’ve always been here. and no, i won’t elaborate, bc you used your own brain to read this. use your brain to research.

i’m gonna start being weirder. i need to weed out the fakers in my life. if i wear my tail keychain to the gay bar, don’t say SHIT, unless it’s a compliment.

If you think it's inappropriate for trans women to also identify as twinks or femboys, you're not ready for queer discourse.

If you think it's inappropriate for trans men to also identify as butch lesbians, you're not ready for queer discourse.

Step back and let trans folks find a home in whatever identity we feel comfortable in. If a trans person renounces everything to do with their birth sex, awesome. If they still identify with parts of their birth sex, awesome. If you accept pronouns and name changes, you should understand that queer people know our own identities better than anyone trying to enforce them for us. Shoving queer people into boxes is bad whether you're on the left or the right.

"Lesbian means exclusive attraction to women!"

"No, it means non-men exclusively attracted to non-men!"

"It actually means queer attraction to women!"

"Lesbian means women and nonbinary people being exclusively attracted to other women and nonbinary people!"

Lesbian is a multifaceted label that can describe many different experiences. There is no one perfect definition of lesbian that will encompass the entire diverse experiences that lesbians can have.

I'm personally a genderqueer woman who's exclusively attracted to other women, but the lesbian next to me might be a transmasc lesbian who loves all genders except for men. And the lesbian next to them might be a bigender lesbian who's both a girl and a boy, who's exclusively attracted to women. Our experiences can all be described by the term lesbian if that's how we wish to describe it, but we might define it differently based on our own experiences. And guess what?

None of our definitions are wrong, but none of our definitions will encompass every other lesbian's experiences. A word can have multiple definitions without any of the definitions being wrong. And those definitions can be very vague or very specific. Labels are made to fit us- we aren't made to fit labels.

People who may have a different experience with the lesbian label are not your enemies. People in lesbian spaces who aren't exactly like you are not your enemies. The problem comes when you try to force one singular definition on every single lesbian. THAT is harmful. Sending death threats to other lesbians because they don't have the same experience as you is harmful. Not another lesbian having a different experience from you.
