vaspider: thenightling: vaspider:argentiaertheri: vaspider: trekfaerie: girlbossjodiarias: tami-taylors-hair:British transphobes have graduated to claiming that bisexual women are tainted by our association with men and thus change the “vibe” of women-only spaces. It’s true, every time I walk into the room, I’m also bringing the spirit of every man who’s been inside my vagina. They live up there like lil ghosts. This people are genuinely the goofiest dumbest bigots. Considering the fact that some lesbians have previously had relationships or children with men, this kind of thing is especially gross. Like, this is also punishing some lesbians for having lived through internalized homophobia/lived in very hostile and unsafe environments. the powers that terfs give men are just insane. they act like being a man makes you a fucking chaos magician bending reality to your whim. This is literally not changed at all from the 1970s political lesbian shit that birthed TERFery, that’s the fucking wild thing. Like, there have been no advancements in this discussion at all in the past fifty fucking years. They are still saying the exact same shit. This is part of the reason, by the way, that I’m so adamant that you can’t use anything that comes from that entire swath of transphobic 2nd-wave feminism. You can’t use the term “compulsory heterosexuality” without reckoning with the fact that its coiner thanked Janice Fucking Raymond in the foreword of the writing which established the term. You can’t use definitions of lesbianism which center men or define lesbianism by its exclusion of men without reckoning with the fact that this centering of men comes directly from wanting to exclude trans women.The only way to stop drinking that tainted water is to drink from another well. Yes to all of this, but for extra weird? is the genderqueer flag, does she fucking think all genderqueer folks are afab and not even a little masc? Wtf? No, unfortunately those symbols are used by TERFs on Twitter to mean the suffragette flag, and are a means of marking themselves as TERFs. They just happen to be close in color to the genderqueer flag. This is Deja vu of when I once got some weird hate here on Tumblr telling me that because I’m bi and not lesbian I have never experienced actual homophobia. Because… homophobes care if you’re bi now? You really think a homophobe will come up to a bi woman and her girlfriend and go “Oh, you’re only HALF gay? My mistake. Carry on.” (Note: I do not consider bisexuality to be “half gay”. I was using antiquated idea on purpose). “Excuse me, before I call you a slur, can you clarify your identity so I can call you the correct one?” apparently that twitter account belongs to the founder of lgb alliance ireland (or used to, bc they’ve deleted lmao) so apparently they didn’t know or care what the g and b letters stood for huh -- source link
