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 youโ€™ll 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 โ€˜butch.โ€™ some drag queens usedย โ€˜femme.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 โ€˜bisexualโ€™ saw regular use. historically this is an era during which bi wlw were lumped in withย โ€˜lesbianโ€™ and bi mlm lumped in withย โ€˜gay.โ€™ this contributes to bi erasure to this day.

***bi wlw using butch/femme were among many who used the term, especially in theย โ€˜lesbian onlyโ€™ era that biphobes cite to shut people down. bisexual people did notย โ€˜spring into existenceโ€™ in 2005, use your fucking head.***

basically: bi people arenโ€™t your fucking enemy and if youโ€™re one of the 20 year olds i mentioned; i can tell you that there are bi wlw, mlm, and nonbinary people, whoโ€™ve been using the labels longer than youโ€™ve 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 youโ€™d 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.

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.
