IT ALSO SUBVERTS LOGIC: The ones that were already here suddenly were NOT, and the ones who were already here became the INVADER. 03. It seems that the ones who came in Caravels were the indigenous people. Relocates people. Places the colonizer as the landowner and the indigenous as the invader. 04.

max sure wears rainbows a lot
gay culture is having your crush tell you to go dance with the random girl who called you zombie boy
a little bit too heavy on the subtext mr. duffer and mr. duffer
Femme bi women married to men still have stories about queerness to tell that are worth hearing.
i dont wanna discourse on main but please dont call bi women femme
Kiss my ass and then fuck ALL THE WAY off.
Guys I love that you got energy to fight Biphobia, but Bi women have a term for feminine bi women! It’s Doe! So it’d be Does or Doe bisexual women
If people want to use those terms, that’s totally fine. However. Those terms were invented within the last 5 years by some rando on Tumblr who was caving to pressure from lesbian exclusionists. Meanwhile, bisexual women have consistently self-defined as butch and femme for almost a century now.
This isn’t just lesbians saying bisexual women can’t start using a word we’ve never used before; this is them saying that a bisexual woman who’s been monogamously married to another woman since before it was legal has to STOP using an identity she’s had for decades, because sometime around 2014, Tumblr decided these terms were “lesbian-exclusive”.
I invite you to take a look at this history of butch/femme and bisexuals in lesbian communities, and also look at the notes on this post where I’ve asked multi-spec women to weigh in their opinions on using doe/stag/tomcat. (Spoiler: Opinions range from one “I guess they’re okay if they’ll make lesbians stop yelling at us” through “They’re kind of cute but they make no sense and nobody knows what they mean,” to “doe is absolutely not how I feel as a femme,” “Stag and tomcat are both used for hypersexual and predatory straight cis men, so no thanks,” and “I’m a person of colour and do you KNOW how racist it is to describe us as animals?”)
And actually? “Butch” and “femme” have never even been WLW-exclusive or LGBT-exclusive. They originated, and continue to be used, by totally straight people. So there’s no use closing the gate after the horses have all escaped, in my opinion.
So what do you think the odds are they actually would “make lesbians stop yelling at us”? Because I’m betting slim-to-none. I don’t think the whole butch/femme “controversy” is really about the words at all. I think there’s a more deeply-rooted issue of “do bisexual people belong in the LGBTQ+ community at all?” (as if the B isn’t literally right there) and this attempt to disinherit us from our own history and vocabulary is just a part of that. I think if we give ground here, the people doing this are just going to find something else to yell about, and then they’ll just keep doing that until they silence bisexuals entirely. And if they never manage that, they’ll never stop yelling.
Worse than that, honestly. Like, not only would bisexuals face a ton of crap, but I’ve looked into some of the people pushing this agenda, and they want to take it into even creepier places, like:
“Butch and femme HAVE to be identities and relationship roles, it’s LESBOPHOBIC to use them to describe a spectrum of gender presentations or aesthetics.”
“Butches can have identities of their own, but someone’s femme identity doesn’t even exist if she’s not in a relationship with a butch.”
This is stuff I have NEVER heard from lesbians IRL. They’re fringe ideas and I frankly think it’s healthy for people reading those blogs to be exposed to a wide variety of disagreements and alternatives. So I have no interest in ceding ground when I believe I could be doing actual good by going, “The adults running that advice blog you follow do not have a complete hold on the truth; it is entirely possible to disagree with and defy them.”
Reblogging for that last part, because WAY more people need to know what the agenda behind this rhetoric is.
This is classic, cut-and-paste 70s lesbian separatist ideology. AKA what we now call TERF ideology.
Like all of their rhetoric, it’s about reinforcing the gender binary and applying it everywhere, in the most toxic ways possible. It’s incredibly simplistic second-wave feminism, weaponized.
(Like denying femmes any identity outside of their relationship to butches. Which is identical to denying women any identity outside of their relationship to men. Or the flip side of that: the TERFs who insist that butches have the capacity for “male violence.” Nobody is ever really going to be good enough, in TERF culture. That’s why they get into things like gold star discourse.)
TERF rhetoric doesn’t start with “trans women aren’t women!” It starts with separating everything into rigid categories.
Women good, men bad. Cis good, trans bad. Lesbians: the best, because that’s “women loving women.” Bisexuals: if men, bad bc men. If women, only good as long as they reframe their lives as “women living women;” otherwise, are traitors to all women. Straight women: give their energy to men, therefore bad. Gay men: bad bc men but good bc gay; terfs generally ignore them until they can be useful in an argument. Pansexuals: foolish mogai microlabel types, see “Bisexuals.” Nonbinary ppl and a-specs: imaginary bullshit, mogai microlabel fools with internalized homophobia, just wanna be oppressed so bad, mock them upon sight.
The vast majority of TERF rhetoric is dedicated to locking down lesbians’ political space, history, and especially, language.
Every historical figure that anybody thought was bi/pan, or a trans man/nonbinary, has to be ruthlessly established as a lesbian, that THOSE people are BAD for trying to take away. Every term that they can police, they have to police in the most faux-PC way possible.
You can’t say “queer,” because it harms lesbians by taking away resources that could be theirs if this were still the gay and lesbian movement. You can use any other slur that belongs to you, but not that one.
You can’t be, or even say, butch or femme, because those are terms for how two women together should be, and if you might be with a MAN, they cannot possibly apply to you.
You can’t say corrective rape, even if the people who came up with the term say it’s for everyone, because only lesbians can be raped as a weapon against their sexual orientation. (and, if convenient to the argument, gay men, who arguably experience it a lot more if you read stuff from NGOs opposing it - but obviously, really only lesbians, lest that point be raised.)
This shit is always, always a warning sign that it stems from TERF arguments. And that’s a problem because it strengthens their culture. It normalizes their arguments. It leads people to buy into more of them.
A lot of the people pushing this shit say we’re wrong they’re not TERFs, they’re TIRFs. By being trans-inclusive radical feminists, they fix their source of hatred not on the penis, but on the male social role; thus trans men are bad for embracing maleness, but trans women are good for rejecting it. Some mild butch-femme is allowable but only in the strictest of women-only lesbian-separatist spaces. So it’s absolutely the same shit, but they jump up and down about how different their packaging is.
My friend Sean is trans, and his first experience with the LGBT community when radfems tried to recruit him at 18. I don’t think he really clicked with them, but he says he knows several trans men who got duped into relationships with older radfems when they were questioning pre-transition teenagers, and were severely pressured not to transition to male because that would be “antifeminist”.
This rhetoric doesn’t just harm people outside the movement. It also harms the people who join it, because they’re subjected to intense pressure to deny any sexual urges or gender feelings that are “incorrect”, and are encouraged to let theorists and community members make their most intimate and important personal decisions for them.
Every person in a position of political power should have their daily needs matched to the lowest class of their country.
You make $6 an hour now, Mr. Congressman, and you’re not allowed to sit down or take breaks during your 7.5 hour daily shift. If you don’t like that, then you’re welcome to make some changes
This.
i’ve never understood being able to enact laws that will never impact you
It legitimately works. When politicians chose to live on the food stamp budget for their state they worked to increase the allotment after only a week of living that way.
And honestly? It should include having to spend time living on disability, navigating their district in a wheelchair, and taking public transit.
These people should have to live with their choices the same way they force us to live with them.
Seventeen things you have to learn for yourself as a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual or otherwise Queer youth by the time you are seventeen. One is that the first Pride was a riot I don’t mean that it was full of laughter, or that it was some grand party where everyone spiraled up to dance among the stars because the only glittering that night was broken glass on cobblestones. The first Pride was a riot on the backstreets of New York and they never tell us that night we won. The only protest in a decade full of turmoil where the cops had to hide out in the bar they raided and run from shouting rioters who fought to reclaim the only patch of ground they had ever claimed as theirs the first Pride was a riot, and two, around the same time it took place it was a debated topic in the gay community whether or not they should say that they weren’t mentally ill which, three, homosexuality was removed from the American Psychiatric Association’s list of mental illnesses in 1974 congratulations all it took was a vote to declare that, whoops, we were never mentally ill except, four, there are still teenagers being tortured today in what some dare blaspheme as “therapy” used to destroy their self-identity in the hopes of making them normal. except, four, the queer community still carries overwhelmingly high rates for poverty and homelessness and depression. Did you know that, five, over half the children forced into conversion therapy commit suicide? And six, that lesbians were regarded as “hangers-on” of the movement by much of the gay community before the AIDS crisis? Because it turns out, seven can wear a rainbow on your shirt and still be a bigot. There are people who stick rainbows in their ears or wear them on their fingers or slap them across their cheeks in badges of defiance and will still hate you for the color of your skin or the size of your thighs or your gender or the way you like to kiss two or more genders or none of the above. Don’t ask me why this happens it just does I think it might be that we’ve all been taught to hate ourselves for so damn long that we don’t understand what to do in a space with no hate. Or maybe it’s that the space seems too small, because eight, there are people who will tell you that you are not enough that you do not reach the magical benchmark of “gay enough” to pass through the gate even especially when you are some flavor of the rainbow other than straight-out gay. eight, this is bullshit eight, those people are bullshit. eight, you are enough. eight, there is always enough room. nine, there is no overarching “homosexual agenda” sorry we’re all kind of flailing along in here trying to figure out some way to make it work when most of us have nothing in common except that society looked at us in different ways and decided we didn’t fit so we could all go be misfits together under one big rainbow flag but just so you know, ten, there are plenty of other flags there is one for you, I promise and eleven, misfits may not all need the same things but we need to stick together, especially in a world where twelve—refer to point seven—there are lesbians who hate other lesbians for having the audacity to be born in a body that everyone looked at and saw “boy” which brings me to thirteen, there is so much to understand. fourteen, you need to understand because we need to stick together and to stick together we do not have to be the same but we do have to understand and it will be hard because you were probably thrown into this world with no warning because fifteen, being queer is not genetic and we are not unique among minorities in that we collect our heritage through broken bits of history and research in a world constantly working to make those misfit bits go away but we are unique in that when we try to prove our legacy we can be laughed down or re-erased or flat out ignored but I swear to you you have a history as old as Alexander the Great as beautiful as Sappho as dignified as Abraham Lincoln and as proud as Eleanor Roosevelt. But even with that behind us sixteen, they have always watched us die. because even though the bystander effect is bullshit, sixteen Kitty Genovese was a lesbian, sixteen Ronald Reagan is a mass murderer, sixteen our children, your brothers and sisters and siblings of all stripes and all colors and sexualities and genders are being murdered through neglect and rejection and hate. Sixteen, there is an entire generation of gay and bisexual men missing from history because the government chose to do nothing when they were dying by the thousands. sixteen, we died from the disease and died from going back into the closet and died for staying there and died for coming out, sixteen, they laughed at us because they believed god was punishing us for daring to love, sixteen, ashes of your forerunners rest on the lawn of the White House because SIXTEEN, THEY HAVE ALWAYS WATCHED US DIE. SEVENTEEN you are allowed to be angry. You do not have to be one of the nice gays or one of the nice trannies or sweet or kind or educate the rest of the world in something less than a yell you are allowed to be so furious it scalds your bones at the way we are forgotten and passed over at the way, as soon as June becomes July we are expected to go back to dying in silence and mourning our dead and kissing all alone when no one can be offended at the sight of us. You are allowed to be angry and scream down the stars to shatter like broken glass at your feet because you know what? The first Pride was a riot.
