I Saw A Lesbian On A Terf List For Reblogging Period Art

Chappell Roan is a blazing fakebian.

“i say mostly cis because, while i am largely gender non conforming…. i still am a woman?”

how sad is it that gnc women truly believe womanhood is about femininity

gotta be a joke

scored shoutout from sexy gf!!!!

i want to talk about a phenomenon in the trans community that reminds me of political lesbianism—a phenomenon that my gf refers to as “political transgenderism.”

during the second wave of feminism a lot of hetero/bisexual women stripped their sexualities and put on the label “lesbian” as a means to progress feminism. they believed that to be a feminist meant they had to exclude men from their attraction, despite the fact that sexuality is an innate, uncontrollable trait!

similarly, i see this sentiment crop up in trans communities. every single person who touts “you don’t need dysphoria to be trans” is a proponent of political transgenderism. they believe that in order to destroy the evil cisgenders, MORE people need to identify as trans or nonbinary! they believe that identifying as trans/NB is a valid political strategy.

my issue with both political lesbianism and political transgenderism is that there is no need to change your identity in order to fight whatever fight you believe in. i don’t need to claim to be Black in order to be anti racism or claim to be an amputee to be anti ableism. the only type of person who needs to center themselves and their identity in their political beliefs is a selfish and egotistical one.

political lesbians and political transgender people co-opt the struggles and vulnerabilities of marginalized groups. they use stereotypes and generalizations as an attempt to “pass” as “valid.” when really, the only thing that makes one a lesbian is exclusive female same-sex attraction, and the only thing that makes someone trans is dysphoria.

Porn defenders will unironically say shit like, "When the actress is screaming and crying and begging them to stop, she's ✨️acting✨️ silly, it's not real. The tear in her anus is fake. The black eye is fake. You probably think dragons are real because you watched GOT. When she's smiling and says it feels good? No, that's real. Why on earth would she be acting."

do people understand that the lesbian/dyke community was originally created by women who were comfortable enough in their womanhood but also in their gender expression to be butch and be masculine and love women in society comfortably with support from people around them who also experience the same thing?? as a dyke i have never once felt compelled to get top surgery or change my name or my pronouns, because im comfortable with the sex i was born as. i’m not saying anything is inherently wrong with sex dysphoria and wanting to transition however refusing to let go of a lesbian label while identifying as “male” or “male-adjacent” is just plain lesbophobic and misogynistic. the entire point of dykes is that they’re women who are comfortable being masculine. if you’re a women who changes everything about herself (ie name pronouns body etc) then what about you is dyke? and tbh idgaf if you “still feel like your connection to women is queer” it’s sure as shit not dykey because being a dyke is to be a masculine lesbian. sorry but you can’t have your cake and eat it too. when did words lose literally every meaning. how is saying “once a lesbian always a lesbian” and shit like this not coined as lesbophobic????

an abused wife of the 1700s who’s birthed 16 children and has not been allowed to leave the house for the last 7 years will write in her diary “i am cursed to be a woman. i wish i were a man, so i could be free, and i wouldn’t always be pregnant, aching, and i could explore, see the world, and learn. why did god forsake me with this body?” and you’ll search her name on tumblr and get “he was such a transmasc legend!! trans people have always existed! proof is right here! he suffered because he wanted to transition so bad 😔 this is why gender transition must be a human right, and deadnaming should be illegal. stupid TERFs, complaining about sex-based oppression. that doesn’t even exist.”

something to think about
