the things that a lot of y’all assume are “lesbian only” feelings and experiences and tag with “non-lesbians don’t touch” rlly reveals a lot of assumptions u have abt what bi women feel and experience. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, lesbians and bi women have far more in common with each other than not, and the differences should not be defined without input from bi women themselves

this includes, among others: not wanting to be with men, wanting to reclaim your body and identity from men, wanting to exist entirely without the male gaze, feeling alienated by m/w relationships and heterosexuality, being repulsed by men, being ostracized for rejecting a specific man or group of men or men in general, being pressured to prioritize men, feeling outcasted and alienated by other women and the rest of the lgbt community, wanting to center your life around women, and wanting to define your gender and how it intersects with your sexuality in a way that specifies rejection of men and your lack of desire to act on attraction to men. These experiences all heavily affect bi women, especially bi women with girlfriends/wives, who are gnc and/or non-cis, who don’t date men, who have trauma surrounding men, or who strongly prefer women.
