Long Live the Lesbians

Late 20's white butch lesbian. Taken by an amazing woman. Created this blog to freely explore radical feminist and gender critical content. Lesbians over everything.

Pro choice & anti porn.

Homosexuality is natural and innate. 

Lesbians are female homosexuals. 

Bisexuality is natural and its own unique thing.

Women are oppressed on the basis of sex. 

Gender is an oppressive construct that should be abolished.

Single-sex spaces are important for women's safety and liberation.

The goal of feminism is women's liberation from patriarchal oppression. 

Racism has no place in feminism and antiracism requires continued commitment to dismantling white supremacy.

I’m ready to be transformed by the ibuprofen . I’m ready to be born again in its purifying light.

it's so insane that so many gay and bi people just accepted the queer label and now people will ask "are you queer?" like that's normal lmao. now straight people say it like it's nothing it's CRAZYYY imagine any other group being bullied into doing this.

[lusciouslusciousliz]

it's utterly fascinating how many so-called allies believe both "not telling someone you're trans before sleeping with them is rape by deception" and "rapists deserve the death penalty/vigilante justice" at once. literally recreating the gay panic defense from first principles. and by fascinating I mean fucking sickening

[niiwa-angel]

Yeah, this is easily rectified by not raping people by deception. Don't lie about your sex before intercourse and people will stop accusing you of raping them. If you intentionally withhold information that you KNOW could result in a potential sex partner withdrawing consent, that is rape by deception.

I’m going to say something that might sound crazy. Suicide and suicide attempts are sort of a societal alarm bell that says “something is very wrong with the environment this individual was in.” A living being choosing to take themselves out of existence is the most extreme act of distress there is. The state stepping in to silence this alarm bell by funneling suicidal people into a state sanctioned euthanasia program, normalizing this act through a socially accepted bureaucratic system, is not a good thing. It goes hand in hand with the state’s interest in maintaining the status quo at the expense of the population and the psychiatric industry’s interest in individualizing societal problems to extract profit and aid the existing system. It’s saying “there are no complaints here, just people with sick brains, carry on.”

it does not sound crazy

the actual pride month rundown

- marsha p. johnson repeatedly identified as a gay man and drag queen and survived into an era where the language did already exist if he chose to identify as transsexual. he explicitly stated that he was not transsexual and claimed that all transsexual people were also homosexual.

- sylvia rivera did identify as a transsexual woman (and made disparaging speeches about lesbians). she was not an ally to lesbians. lesbians and transwomen have not always been allies.

- neither of them were there when the stonewall riots began, according to marsha’s own testimony. sylvia was sleeping off a drug trip on a park bench, and by the time marsha arrived at stonewall, the riots were already in full swing.

- storme delarverie, a mixed black gender-nonconforming lesbian and drag king, may have been the one who incited the stonewall riots. she never identified as a transman despite surviving into an an era where the language was made accessible to do so. accounts differ as to who started the riots.

- stonewall was not a special haven for trans people and drag artists, it was just some bar where gay people met up. by all accounts, it wasn’t even a good bar.

- pride as a festival and parade was invented by gay men, lesbians, and bisexual people. fred sergeant is one of those gay men, and he has been beaten (in recent years, as an elderly man) by trans people and their allies due to his views on medical transition. non-homosexual trans people were unheard of in this era.

- this is just united states history, and not even the beginning of gay rights activism in the united states alone. the rest of the world didn’t necessarily base its gay rights activism on stonewall.

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

sometimes instead of a horrid little monk, divine visions of lesbians dance in my head dispensing wisdom

when women point out that “sex work” is rape and the enlightened leftists sigh condescendingly and tell us that all work is coerced and nobody likes their job, and you realize they think that at the very least they believe there is a subset of women on these earth (if not all of us) whose duty is to endure sexual violation for the gratification of men. lol.

years ago i saw a woman on radblr respond to this take by saying "imagine the worst customer you met in retail or fast food. now imagine they get to fuck you in the ass. you see how that is worse?" and to this day its the most concise way to get the point across to these smug bastards

[kitchenalia]

how happy do you think men were when they discovered they could destroy any pro-woman argument (anti-kink, anti-prostitution, anti-pornography, et cetera) with “that’s terf/radfem rhetoric” and people would listen? how happy do you think men were when they realized they could switch from ‘misandrist’ (too heavily associated with MRAs, not taken seriously by feminists) to ‘terf’ (scary prospect to be called, grounds for being cancelled, easy to guilt feminists with)? must have been a really good day for them.

Gays: if you’re not gay then you’re not gay

People in hetero relationships but who wear silly clothing: How DARE You Disrespect me! I exist!

Being a lesbian can feel very lonely. I feel it now in my 30s more than ever, when my bi women friends date exclusively men, and my other afab friends find their peace and happiness in transitioning or otherwise exploring gender identity.

Yet I'm here, simply existing as a homosexual woman, equally firm in being attracted to only my own sex and being a woman.

I struggle, but I also believe I'm not alone, which makes me speak out. We don't have to be afraid. We don't have to be invisible.

I find power in simply existing, power in how unchangable I am, power in the truth of 'born this way', power in 'this is what a woman looks like', power in lesbian feminism, and power in simply honouring myself as I go on being who I am.

Happy Pride month to every lesbian woman who wants to feel seen, who needed this, and who needed a little encouragement. Let's raise our voices and our flags for our sisters who bear the same loneliness.

Yeah, trans people have always existed and cis lesbians support trans people more than any other demographic does! Anyways, stay mad support for trans people will come back once the fascists in power fall and can't scapegoat trans people anymore 😇

Weird how so many lesbians hate them on here, then. Also weird how you'll only defend trans people under an anonymous ask...really shows you don't care all that much. So much for that "support" you think you have. If you care for a cause, don't be such a wuss about showing it.

[niiwa-angel]

They mistake "not fighting back because you are dangerous" as blind support. If I give a mugger my wallet, I haven't made a charitable donation, I've been robbed. If I don't say anything about a trans woman in the women's bathroom, it's not because he's actually a woman, it's because I know he will hurt me if I speak up.
