CAL YOU'RE BACK OH I'M SO HAPPY

What is a long sword lesbian?

(I went WAY overboard with this, if you want the short answer, read the first three paragraphs. the other two are more in-depth analysis of what they preach and why they’re wrong. Hope this helps!)

cisgender (generally white and/or usamerican, not relevant to the label itself, just a pattern I’ve seen) lesbians that claim that lesbians can’t be non-binary or go by he/him, they/them, or neopronouns, because they “erase real lesbians” (yikes) and “erase lesbian history” (factually incorrect).

They seem to have some sort of presence on Tumblr and Twitter, but mainly reside on Instagram, because godawful 0 iq lgbt discourse is a fucking plague there and the mainly supported ideals are the exclusionary and truscum ones in that app.

Another way to identify these people is by looking up vixenamoric, aka the superstraight equivalent they came up with to exclude non-binary lesbians and lesbians that don’t go by she/her.

Their ideology might sound similar to terfs based on what I’ve explained, but various longswords are openly supportive of trans women and trans lesbians, which are the main target of terfs. However, it is indeed suspiciously reminiscent, when going in-depth. Lots of them talk about “I’m a lesbian, they can’t make me date an enby/he/they/neopronoun lesbian because I’m only attracted to women.” On one hand, NO ONE is forcing them to date said lesbians, and on the other hand, there’s no way to actually tell wether a person is non-binary or not, so their whole point falls apart. It also implies that pronouns = gender which is also incorrect. Then they go on to paint that “non-binary people and men are invading the lesbian community and erasing the meaning of lesbianism”, which is not only not true, but like... realistically speaking, actual men and non-binary people who feel like they belong in more male-centered groups and identities would never identify as lesbians, or at least not long term. And... non-binary people aren’t invaders. The inclusion of non-binary people isn’t invasion. Period. If you’re a lesbian that is not interested on dating non-binary people, that’s completely fine! We understand! What makes it harmful is to dictate what non-binary people can and cannot identify as, which brings me onto the next point, (non-binary lesbian specific) which is not terfy per se but is still a bunch of shit: “they’re misgendering themselves”. Bruh. You’re not us. Not only that, most of you [longsword lesbians] are cisgender! What the fuck! It is not only not your place to speak on non-binary identities, but this also demonstrates that you lack basic understanding of non-binary identities!

Non-binary means outside of the binary. Not a third gender, completely separate from male and female. It is a spectrum, and a great chunk of the non-binary community gravitates towards male and female identities. It is not only normal, but very common to non-binary people to identify and present with things that are gendered, such as femenine clothing or masculine adjectives and titles. This is mostly accepted, but for some reason, a lot of people flip their shit when non-binary people feel like they belong in wlw and mlm spaces, or use gay, lesbian, achillean or sapphic to describe themselves. And it’s bullshit. It’s completely reasonable for cisgender people to wrap their minds around this concept (hell, when I thought I was cis, it took me a few months to actually understand this). But for fuck’s sake, don’t exclude us and harass us for how we describe ourselves and tell us what we “should” identify as. Our sole existences don’t mean harm. No one, especially not cisgender people, is entitled to the identity of a non-binary person.

So sorry for the long rant, it’s just that these people made it much harder to accept my non-binary identity and made me feel so endangered online that I had to create an undercover alternate account in a separate platform to avoid their harassment. Yes, it is that bad. Even though I allowed myself to set boundaries and blocked all of these people on sight, it still boils my blood to remember this. So yeah. Stay the fuck away. Don’t give them a platform. They’re bullies thinly veiled in wokeness.

You mentioned that in the Spanish version of Portal 2 Wheatley speaks with ab Argentinian accent. How does the foreign language joke work when you put him in charge of the facility? Is it like Toy Story 3 where he still speaks Spanish or does he tell himself to read the manual in english?

that’s funny, because I have no idea- I found out through a clip reuploaded on YouTube! And despite being argentinian and my mother language being spanish, I consume every piece of media in english when given the opportunity LMFAO. Now I’m curious- gonna launch the game to find out!

Update: quickly went through the chapter to find the scene, and I found... other curious things along the way.

Tumblr is a godawful platform that won't let me add videos from my laptop. I'll see if I can make a separate post with the clips. However, the answer I can give you is that yes, he does tell himself to read the manual in english! fun stuff!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY FUNGI 💕 YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON AND I WISH YOU AN INCREDIBLE DAY BECAUSE YOU DESERVE THAT AND SO MUCH MORE!!

You are a wonderful person who supports so many others and deserve the world. Even if I found your blog only a few mounths ago I am incredibly happy I did since you make my day better all the time and have helped me so much.

I hope you have an amazing valentines day and know that you are wonderful and deserve the world!!

that’s so very kind of you, Squirrel- I don’t even know what to say!

When I made this blog, I really just wanted to lurk and make a small safe space for myself. I meant to follow just a few blogs and don’t interact much. But you’re a... how do I put this... pretty warm and welcoming person! Even though we don’t talk much, I consider you a good friend, and an excellent tumblr blogger- my dashboard was kind of dead until I started following you, and I’m so glad I did!

I hope that you’re doing well and that you, too, have the nicest valentine’s day possible :D

Thanks to finding your blog, I learned a new term. Longsword lesbian wasn't something I'd ever come across before and now I'm disgusted. He/Him lesbians have been around since forever. Pronouns /=/ Gender. Its the longswords erasing lesbian history if they claim he/him lesbians aren't real. This butch is disgruntled, can you tell 😂

Oh, I am SO incredibly glad. I was expecting hate from a longsword, but this is MUCH more pleasant to see. Luckily, longswords are much less present in Tumblr- but in Instagram, my main platform, they’re a plague. At first they made me feel horrible, but now that I know my historical background as a non-binary lesbian, I know for a fact that they’re wrong. Besides, most people that argue about this are cis people (most of which aren’t even lesbians! get out!) that are all so self righteous and think they know everything about non-binary people when they literally think of enbies as a secret third gender that’s completely separate from male and female... they aren’t shit. I 100% feel you and stand with you as a they/them non-binary lesbian. After all, there’s no way they can win. They don’t know us. Their posts in their discourse accounts can’t undo our relationships with gender, presentation and lesbianism, and much less our decades of history before they were even born. We aren’t erasing the meaning of lesbian, they’re erasing history, as you said.

I know you might not be interested in my content, which is 90% reblogging sprees, but please know you’ll find a safe space here. Thank you for your marvelous ask (it’s the first one in my blog!) and I hope you have a nice day!!

Hi, my name is Ursula Keter. I'm a 61 year old mother to a teenage daughter and we live in Houston, Texas. Today I ask for your kindness and help as my daughter and I are on the verge of homelessness. I have diabetes and on January 11th of 2024, I very suddenly fell ill overnight with diabetic neuropathy and nerve damage in my hands, arms, legs, and feet caused by high blood sugar levels due to being unable to afford doctor's appointments and medication consistently. After spending a month and a half in a rehabilitation center, it has still left me unable to walk or effectively use my hands. As a result, I lost my job as a housekeeper and have become disabled. My teenage daughter is now my caregiver helping me with personal care and household responsibilities that I am unable to do. I'm asking for help to afford food, rent, utilities, phone bill, car insurance, as well as basic necessities. I've applied for disability benefits, but they take 6-12 months for the state of Texas to process. We are on EBT food stamps as well but currently only receive $23.00 a month until the loss of my job income can be processed too. If we cannot pay our April and future rent, we will be homeless and potentially on the streets. You can donate, share or offer prayers,all shall be highly appreciated.

Next time you try scamming someone, at least put the fucking donation link in your pinned post bruh

Hello there! My large Gaza family is filled with love and warmth, and losing them is a tremendous loss. I appreciate your efforts and time in reading my plea. I never expected to find myself in this situation.It is incredibly challenging to navigate these circumstances as an independent woman proud of her financial independence, finding herself in this dire situation.I understand the value of every donation and the effort behind it. I assure you that all funds will be strictly used for the evacuation of my sisters and my parents. I will personally bear any additional expenses incurred.Your support will make a significant difference in alleviating the suffering of my family and ensuring that my sisters and my parents receive the care they urgently need. As time ticking away translates to lives lost in Gaza I'm here and ready to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Don't hesitate to reach out and connect with me

Will you people please stop fucking creating scam accounts posing as families in Gaza. I get 5 of these a week. How can you be so shameless to seek to profit from someone else's disgrace?
