Panphobes have worked so hard to make sure you all know that bisexuality means attraction to all genders that they’ve completely forgotten and ignored that bisexuality doesn’t have to include things like attraction to men.
yeah, “LGBT+ people of all stripes” have appropriated lesbian terms throughout history and continue to do so, we’re aware 🙄
This is regarding my butch & femme post.
Anyway, my very gay uncle has been having me refer to him as ‘Auntie’ and has been calling himself femme since the 90s - I’m sure before you were even fucking born.
If you want to seek him out and argue with him and his cadre of old gay queens you certainly can, but he’s living with HIV and so are most of his friends and their just not going to take your shit.
You see, my views on the gay community are shaped by being around old gay people - a deaf bisexual turned lesbian (she was using lesbian last I knew) and my Auntie Dave especially - and not just from Hot Takes Online.
Exclusionists hop off my dick challenge
Anyway just a reminder that you don’t have to be lesbian to call yourself butch (or femme!!) and LGBT+ people of all stripes have used it throughout history.
Exclusionists how about you fuck off this time and don’t bother opening your mouth on my shit pls and thanks.
You folks do know that exclusionism and gatekeeping is the norm for society right? Society is not an inclusive place - we talk all the time of the power structures used to exclude others.
It’s not radical to tell people they’re not allowed in. It’s not progressive to tell people they can’t join your club. There is no way to dismantle the power structures oppressing us by replicating them in our community.
There is no ‘good’ or 'righteous’ way to exclude people.
Hey peoples!
Are you sick of discourse debating whether you “belong” in a community or not?
[Ex: you’re ace and hate non-ace people debating whether you “belong” in the lgbt+ community]
Come talk to me!!! We’ll form our own community, if assholes wanna police you all the time. I will make a community especially for rejected members!
YOU BELONG AND YOU MATTER
