hey by the way lesbians who had relationships/interest in men in their youth (or even later in life!!!) are still lesbians. nope, no "but what about [so and so], you liked him!". no. comphet and denial are very real things and you do not get to label someone else for them.
happy pride to all lesbians w/ comphet!!!! u are not less than as a lesbian and ur feelings are incredibly valid. the way u feel is not ever ur fault and shame+imposter syndrome as a lesbian can be very exhausting. allow urself to be celebratory and proud this month❤️❤️❤️
i know a lot ot us have that "what if i'm actually annoying" fear, and while i COULD self-soothe with affirmations like "i'm not annoying, it's okay" i prefer "it is my human right to be annoying and cringe"
i put this in my tags but i feel very strongly about this (not to be serious on a funny post)
Image text transcription: #NO UNIRONICALLY THIS #i have a thing about being annoying or a burden and smth and my therapist told me #is that that’s love!! being a burden and leaning on one another and being an inconvenience and irritating and annoying or whatever the fuck “thats what it is to be human baby!! we r not self sufficient beings #we’re pack animals #of course you’re going to be annoying “babies bond with their mothers by being dead weight for years and that’s GOOD and HEALTHY #it’s your god given right to be annoying #anyway. this is not very eloquent but i think it gets the point across #lean on one another be burdensome #that’s how you build trust by being an imposition #this took a turn
#this feels like the mental version of body neutrality#like it’s your right to look bad and ugly and tired and that’s fine and ok and good actually#and likewise for personality traits#like it’s good if you can love your personality and body and there’s nothing wrong with that#but you literally do not have to
(tags from @lintillaarchaeologist)
it is actually the same concept! it’s called Radical Acceptance! you don’t need to justify your body or your existence or your life to anyone, you are allowed to exist just the way you are, right here, right now.
The goal is not to meet neruotypical life milestones and ideas of independence. The goal is to have a life where you are happy and have the support you need.
trans girls be like
(are pretty)
happy pride this post is still true
respect girls with a chubby tummy respect girls with stretch marks respect girls with big thighs respect girls with hairy arms respect girls and their clothing of choice respect girls and their privacy respect girls and their confidence respect girls and their rights respect girls who arent fully transitioned yet respect girls with scars respect girls who like girls respect girls who like both guys and girls respect girls who are asexual
respect girls. dont treat them as objects.
hey!!!!!! congrats!!!!! why??? you ask???? because you made it to today!!! even after everything !! i’m so proud of you!!
actually you will not enjoy hearing this but you literally have to abandon your self deprecating humor. besides the fact that it can drive people away you literally are only hurting yourself by constantly making jokes that further cement the idea in your head that you are not good enough. I do not care that you think its a good coping mechanism it is absolutely not and you need to start challenging negative thoughts instead of feeding into them.
ok so this has been bothering me for like the longest time so sit down and please stop appropriating japanese culture. u may not realize ur doing it, so just take a second to listen. if any other japanese wanna add on to this post, feel free to do so. if u are not japanese, please do not try to defend ur ignorance or racism, rather listen and change ur behavior.
stop saying the word “jap” as a substitute for japanese. jap is a racial slur that was popularized in america after pearl harbor and all through the japanese internment. it’s not a shortened version of the word japanese like brits are to british. we are japanese, not japs.
acknowledge japanese imperialism. do not defend it. what the japanese did in ww2 was horrible, so make sure u know about it and use that knowledge to think critically about any japanese media u may consume.
stop japancore. japan is a country with a deep culture. my culture is not ur aesthetic.
on the same note of japancore, do not use shinto shrines as part of ur moodbaord. that is a religion still practiced to this day in japan. it’s not ur aesthetic. also realize that shintoism has been used as means to empower the emperor during japanese imperialism in ww2. they forced people into that religion and locked up those who didn’t comply. (it’s ok if u practice it ofc, just research and know what u are following)
again with moodboards, this is slightly more forgivable, but please don’t use japanese language for ur aesthetic. while i encourage anyone who wants to learn it to try and learn it, it’s not there for ur aesthetic. i can explain more on this if anyone would like, but i’ll just leave it at that for now.
do not self id as a weeb. being a weeb is incredibly harmful, as it dismisses many of the horrible things japan has done to asia. please read this post for more.
please do not support hetalia or aot. hetalia sort of glorifies japanese imperialism as well as nazism and makes it into this cutesy lil thing that makes u go “awww 🥰” at ww2. aot has anti-semitic themes within it and again glorifies japanese imperialism.
if u are going thru with a name change, do not choose a japanese name that u found online after a google search. names in japan are more than just names, there’s a whole process that involves it that is dependent on ur time of birth as well as stroke count for the written name. additionally, it further appropriates the culture when a non japanese person uses a japanese name simply bc they found it cute. this also applies to online aliases. a name from ur own culture or language is good enough.
do not fetishize us. this goes for every culture and race but just stop. we are not “babies” and we are not here for ur entertainment. we are people too.
do not say “i wish i was japanese.” don’t say that for any culture at all unless u are also prepared to face the years of oppression and racism that comes with it.
do not say we have privilege simply because japanese tend to have lighter skin to other poc. this can be said about many east asians countries as well. asia isn’t just pale skin, it comes in a multitude of shades as well as cultures from other countries. we do not have privilege because we do not benefit from the system like white people do.
i’m just done with racism going unnoticed because of ignorance. if u did/do any of these things, whatever. just realize how ur behavior has added to japanese racism and learn from it. further, please help stop anti-asian violence. i live near where an attack was done to an elder. please use these links to help asian lives.

wow. you’re not even gonna kiss her tummy bro? cringe
labels for your sexuality are just that: labels. don’t stress yourself out over defining it. you like who you like and that’s that. you don’t have to have it all figured out. you don’t have to explain yourself.
fan fiction is SO addicting to people with ADHD because our brains aren't innatentive, they're just constantly searching out sources of dopamine because we don't produce enough on our own. fan fiction supplies us with an endless archive of free stories - long and short - containing characters we already love and we can just devour story after story after story one after another and it feels SO GOOD.
lesbian'll...
wlw obsessing over mlm ships because there are barely any women in media for them to ship together is NOT the same as straight women obsessing over mlm ships because they think it’s hot send tweet
and mlm liking wlw ships bc gay relationships are to be treasured is NOT the same as straight guys thinking lesbians are hot to watch
it’s called solidarity bitches! im thrilled about all sorts of queer rep because even if it’s not for me specifically it’s good for the community as a whole and that’s fucking cool
The WLW saw Connor Murphy and said "he's ours now" and thats so sexy of us
yeah.
hey lesbians you’re not a fake lesbian if you find some men to be conventionally attractive. you were most likely raised to know what an ‘attractive’ man looks like, and you probably still recognize it. seeing a man as attractive under societies rules of ‘attractive-ness’ doesn’t make you a fake lesbian.
like seriously i’d appreciate it if people reblogged this more because a lot of young lesbians (including me) struggle with compulsive heterosexuality and being told they’re not real lesbians because “they’re attracted to a man!!!!”
you can find someone aesthetically pleasing without being sexually or romantically attracted to them
and also this applies to trans lesbians so terfs don’t reblog this ever
