what is this?????? what??????????????????????????????????? Like I could go into how sexuality has been viewed radically differently throughout history and lesbianism (and any of our modern sexualities) can not be applicable throughout the entirety of it. Calling famous “lesbian” poets/writers like Sappho pansexual would actually likely be closer to their true orientation then calling them lesbian (there is evidence that Sappho preferred women but also was interested in men) but it is still not really applicable because of how different past cultures are to ours. Neither of those abbreviations are right but saying that bisexuals/pan/queer/ect. don’t have the right to use one of them bc its “appropriating lesbian culture” is straight up biphobic/panphobic and ridiculous as hell.
honestly that post is so biphobic like the wlw community is meant for all women who love women????? it does not matter their orientation as long as they love women.
women who love women don’t appropriate lesbian culture (unless it’s certain words like butch, femme, d*ke etc just because they carry a kind of significance in the lesbian community) and honestly dividing people within the sapphic community by defining them by their relationship to men is a) biphobic/panphobic b) really misogynist??? like way to define women based on their interactions with men and c) just bad for the wlw community in general
intracommunity drama and separation is just bad in general and trying to divide wlw is so counterintuitive like what are you accomplishing here
I KNOW ITS TERRIBLE. Honestly tho some of the worst bi/panphobia I’ve gotten is from lesbians and I have no idea why? Like I wish we as a community could just NOT.
yeah most of them are also terfs/twefs who hold up gold star mentality which is unfortunate because it puts such a bad face on the lesbian community which SUCKS
lesbians who behave this way towards other wlw just? confuse the hell out of me tbh… you’d think we’d all be able to sympathize with each other and be supportive but somehow it turns into a superiority contest
yeah it’s a huge intracommunity issue (with problems coming from both sides) that’s been going on for a long time that needs to be addressed and it’s really disheartening to see it continue happening. I’ve been lucky enough to follow wlw blogs that are directed towards positivity instead of picking sides so it’s always such a shock to see shit like this going down
