hey everyone its april fools. but dont worry i dont have anything planned. just going to sit here and...
biggest L on this website is seeing 20 year old lesbians talking down to bi wlw for using the terms butch/femme. if you do your research into lgbtq+ history youโll find that, in their first popularization:
the terms originated among working class people, especially in communities of color
the terms were used by wlw *and mlm* to describe different roles played in the community. some gay men usedย โbutch.โ some drag queens usedย โfemme.โ
the terms were used by cis and trans people, including nonbinary people
the terms were popularized in an era of lgbtq+ history before the label โbisexualโ saw regular use. historically this is an era during which bi wlw were lumped in withย โlesbianโ and bi mlm lumped in withย โgay.โ this contributes to bi erasure to this day.
***bi wlw using butch/femme were among many who used the term, especially in theย โlesbian onlyโ era that biphobes cite to shut people down. bisexual people did notย โspring into existenceโ in 2005, use your fucking head.***
basically: bi people arenโt your fucking enemy and if youโre one of the 20 year olds i mentioned; i can tell you that there are bi wlw, mlm, and nonbinary people, whoโve been using the labels longer than youโve been alive.ย
bi exclusion is fucking horrible and pushing bi members of our community to the margins of spaces that *bi people were a part of creating* has got to stop. if youโd rather be shitty to bi people than do a little research, please unfollow me until you figure out that the community is a little bit bigger than it looks on a tv screen.

Butch Terrier gf (yes she is trans), who want her?
Shipping random female characters who never interact. Woobifying female villains. Saying a boy crazy female character is a lesbian with no evidence. Making female characters more pathetic and fail. Taking a minor female character and coming up with a whole personality for them. Writing about women kissing when nobody else will. This is the life of a yuri soldier.
reading stone butch blues for the first time and ohhhh they werent kidding that old queer literature makes you realize how irrelevant discourse is
