[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

this is true, and furthermore:

this pretending that cishet people have never looked at lesbians and other wlw-types as predatory threats to poor delicate straight women is bullshit. cishet people absolutely have (and some still do) looked at lesbian and bisexual women as “infringing upon the rights of [good heterosexual] women.” she’s denying old bigotry to kick the easier scapegoat of the day; don’t fall for that shit. 

[catgirlforeskin]

It’s worth noting that it’s not just similar rhetoric being used, it’s quite literally the same exact arguments being made. The main source of fearmongering these people bring up, about trans women “invading” women’s bathrooms and being predators and whatnot was made against lesbians (and queer women in general) before them, and made about black women before them.

They’ve been saying word for word the same shit for decades, they just shift the target once their previous one became socially unacceptable, and they’ll shift right back the moment they get the chance.

Aesops Fable of The Lion and the Bulls:

Three bulls fed in a field together in the greatest peace and amity. A lion had long watched them in the hope of making a prize of them, but found there was little chance for him so long as they kept all together. He therefore began secretly to spread evil and slanderous reports of one against the other, till he had fomented a jealousy and distrust amongst them.

No sooner did the lion see that they avoided one another and fed each by himself apart, than he fell upon them singly, and so made an easy prey of them all.

The quarrels of friends are the opportunities of foes.

parents who tell their daughters they are ugly are bad parents

[ivan-fyodorovich-deactivated202]

everyone who is replying to this with some variety of “that’s just how life is”

no

your parents fucked up and should not have treated you that way

they were wrong and you should say it

[techmomma]

This includes implied ugliness.

you need to lose weight

you’ll attract more boys if

you’re wearing that?

i wouldn’t wear that

this will flatter you more

you should wear more makeup

I joke about being mean and evil but then people are Actually just genuinely shitty and I’m like. Doesn’t it make you feel bad when you act like that

[bluelivesaintshit]

Just want everyone to know when I say ‘evil’ I really just mean “villainous and campy like a cartoon antagonist”

[eroscestlavie]

tumblr getting ahold of the concept of a he/him lesbian is so funny to me. not like in a bad way even but I think most of the people who hear about it assume it’s some kind of tenderqueer nonsense when in reality all the dykes I’ve known who use male pronouns are like 65 years old & cool as hell, and if you tried to address them as anything other than “sir” your brain eyes and soul would throw a small riot for upsetting the natural order of things  

[eroscestlavie]

me at the intergenerational LGBTQ event at any geriatric butches who are clearly on an advanced plane of gender reality

I did another post on this topic last year, but I thought it could use an update with some more books! And yes, the last post had people repeatedly adding on queer books by white people, so I’m a bit salty about it.

When possible, I’m linking to my database of queer books. The page for each book includes the synopsis, content warnings under spoiler tags, and links to reviews from queer readers. If it’s not in the queer database at the time of posting (8/24/19), I’ll link to Goodreads instead.
