wlw tumblr why are demons hot

we’ve been exposed to queercoded villains since childhood, causing us to associate strongly with villainous and evil women; furthermore, because we fear we are being predatory towards women we are afraid of approaching girls and thus the concept of an aggressive woman is attractive because we don’t have to start the relationship

also they have big titties

anyway y’all have no problem when gay men doing drag use she/her but as soon as lesbians use he/him it’s suddenly a problem and a huge contradiction

realise that gender is part and parcel of heterosexuality and so lesbians necessarily navigate gender entirely differently than straight women

i think the “lesbians can’t use he/him” is absolutely implicit in wanting to keep us in a womanhood defined and ruled by heterosexuality. once we start to display us doing gender for ourselves, challenging and living with toxic heterosexual femininity: he/him lesbians, butches, etc. that’s when it gets out of hand for y’all

lesbians rejecting a womanhood that ties them to men because of gender, because of heterosexuality is not a bad thing, it’s not a contradiction, it makes perfect sense.

the policing of he/him lesbians is ironically completely bound up in misogyny: an anxiety to let lesbians do what they want and not consider men/heterosexuality and do gender on their own in their own way

same goes for the weirdness a lot of people have about “lesbians can’t be nb”

like lol yes they can

the move to always try and tie lesbians back on to a strict defined sense of womanhood makes lesbians parsable as Women in a purely heterosexual conception

if lesbians can’t be easily understood as women, then the male gaze can’t fetishise us, objectify us, make us two girls kissing for the pleasure of men. it’s a way of escape & of dealing with gendered trauma & of enacting subjectivity

lesbians know what they’re doing, leave us alone

Big Yep!

if you believe ace lesbians hold a privilege over non-ace lesbians then you need to put that opinion in your bio or something so no one interacts w you on the mistaken assumption that you’ve ever come down to reality for a split second in your life, thanks

If ur song about dating/experimenting w girls has any reference to seeking the permission or pleasure of men it’s Banned from being a WLW anthem, it’s CANCELLED, you have to go to the Katy Perry Shame Box, you are NOT cool for the summer, you are fucking Moist in the autumn

don’t say wlw when you mean lesbian OP lol

Yeah except I mean WLW because bisexual and pan women don’t seek male gaze or permission in their relationships with other women and it is Wildly Biphobic to imply we do but sure, U Do U

Amazing how I have been accused of being both a biphobic lesbian and a lesbian eraser in the course of this post tho well done tumblr 4 reaching New Heights 4 Reaching

janelle monáe treading seamlessly between androgyny/gender non conformity and bold displays of femininity showcases how many bi/pan women fluctuate between different gender presentations as a result of how their multiple-gender attraction disrupts and complicates their conceptualizations of gender. her celebration of proudly portraying herself with masculine or feminine aesthetics is a quintessential highlight of the bisexual community’s approach to gender, and in particular, is a hallmark of bisexual music and artistry. in this essay, i will

And hey I personally fucking hate how terfs have tried to mutate lesbian culture on this site. The other day I saw someone talking about how whenever they see a blog with the lesbian pride flag in the icon, they’re uneasy or hesitant to interact/follow because of this awful trend of trans exclusionary radfems pushing wlw pride as a front for hatred, a way to boast they’re a “real lesbian, unlike all those nasty str8 women who date trans women”. It’s such an awful tactic because whenever they repost something sapphic, something about loving women, something that should be so good and wholesome and proud, that you should never have to question whether the intentions of it are cruel, they’re doing it spitefully, they’re not saying “i love loving women” they’re saying “i only respect those who I deem to be REAL women” and they’re turning pride into a discreet statement of hate. Lesbian culture and spaces are for all lesbians, and the fact that someone showing “too much pride” is now cause for suspicion is disgusting! But make no mistake, this isn’t the fault of anyone but terfs. This isn’t lesbians and trans women being lesbophobic, I agree that it’s absolutely terrible for lesbians to see wlw pride and immediately feel suspicious, but it’s not their fault, it is the fault of the people who are trying to slip into these communities and spread their poison by putting up a front of love and pride.

Stop taking a community based on love and pride and affection and trying to turn it into your platform for hate. These wlw communities are not for you. You cannot say you love women and then turn around and dedicate your entire online presence to hating women.
