we’ve both been very
very
lonely
huh?
not to be mean lesbian on main but y’all (yes even within the lgbt community) really do get away with saying shit on here about lesbians that’s just blatantly lesbophobic and no one ever calls it out besides lesbians and it’s so transparent
no amount of “let’s go lesbians” or thor memes or ~solidarity~ posts you reblog make up for saying stuff like “i love lesbians just not the hairy mean ‘kill all men’ ones uwu” and people will fucking agree! the whole “butch pal” thing happened and everyone took it as a chance to call butch lesbians unhygienic and said shit like “what will they just teach them not to shower as much lol” and other shit that compares lesbians to gross cishet men as if thats not how we’re already seen
y’all don’t listen to lesbians talk about the shit (and even violence) we get from men unless you can relate, bc apparently once we realize we’re lesbians men disappear from our life. y’all derail posts about lesbophobia, and about lesbian positivity without even thinking that maybe it’s inappropriate. I’ve seen people tell lesbians “well sexuality is fluid” or “everyone’s a little bi” as if wanting lesbians to be attracted to men is anything new
ive seen people refer to a lesbian that pisses them off as a “legbeard” as if that’s not just a pc d-slur AND a backhanded insult to all gnc women. people say they just “feel unsafe” around lesbians for whatever reason (predatory lesbian stereotype anyone?), say that they always do a fucking background check on people with lesbian icons/urls, ive seen anti-antis (among other groups) say that lesbians are more likely to be “judgy bitches”
and imma keep it real with you chief but someone judging me for my lesbianism bc they approximate lesbians to terfs (which is shitty to trans lesbians, inaccurate to the fact that most terfs are straight, and lets bi/straight terfs fly under the radar) or any of the other shit ive seen said about lesbians and someone judging me for lesbianism bc of “religious reasons” are the same to me in the end, and if anything the lgbt lesbophobe is gonna hurt me more (especially if it’s a bi woman) bc that’s the person who’s supposed to be on my fucking side!
anyway like. if you look at the number of notes on a post that’s like “haha lesbians cool” versus the number of notes on a post talking about lesbophobia from other lgbt people you’ll see that no one wants to talk about this. so, my original version when i typed out this post had an uncensored d-slur in it a lot but i took it out so y’all don’t have an excuse to not reblog this! i greatly encourage other lgbt people to reblog this actually!
(quick disclaimer on my point about being unsafe around lesbians: trans women, especially trans lesbians, are absolutely allowed to feel unsafe around cis lesbians. of course, if they’re singling out cis lesbians compared to other cis people then that’s lesbophobic, but a trans person feeling unsafe around cis people is never inherently a bad thing)
