*I didn't include the Labyrs or Lipstick Lesbian variants on this poll bc I know they're commonly used by TERFs and don't want to attract them to a post about which flags most liked to be used. That being said, using them doesn't make someone a TERF and feel free to include them under other.

tw homophobia transphobia lesbophobia
i posted this thread yesterday on twitter because there was so much lesboy hate on a term i coined, so i just wanted to explain what a lesboy is right.
you can already see the ratio on it. hundereds upon hundereds of quotes who mostly, did not even read the thread. they all started insisting i, a nonbinary lesbian, was a straight man for educating people on lesboys and identifying as one. i made a joke about someone calling me straight by showing my cutesy fem outfits, and people continued to say i had internalized transphobia because.. im a rosboy? i specified it was a joke abt myself and ik fem straight guys exist, but the amount of people trying to force the straight label oh me is disgusting. we have so much to work on as a community. it is so sad to see this much hate from my own community of people over a damn label. you cant claim we can do whatever we want with gender because its a construct without breaking down the fact sexuality is also a construct that reinforces gender roles.

Another post because this has been on my mind for a while.
Don't get me wrong I love you femme4femmes, and I love seeing femmes together in media. But I think femme x femme relationships are probably the most commonly seen in media (which is not bad at all, in fact there should be more lesbian relationships in media since its genuinely hard to find), especially where they're both white, skinny, able-bodied cis women.
But where are the butches? The gnc lesbians? Hairy lesbians? Fat lesbians? POC lesbians? Disabled lesbians? Femme x butch relationships and butch x butch relationships? Transmasc and transmen lesbians? Transfem and transwoman lesbians? Buff lesbians? Lesbians on testosterone? Amab lesbians? Intersex lesbians? Multigender lesbians? Femme lesbians who don't necessarily fit the standard people have for feminine people?
Disclaimer: This is in no way trying to put down femme lesbians, I'm a femme lesbian myself! And as I said before the femme x femme relationships that are in media are great and there needs to be more lesbian relationships in media in general; this is just about how I wish to see all lesbians represented in media.

people need to realize that dissolving the lines between gender also means dissolving the lines between sexuality. you cannot say gender is fake and then say sexuality is strict and rigid.
there are multigender/genderfluid people who are lesbians and gay men at the same time. there are mspec lesbians/gays/straights who have a complex relationship with gender and their sexuality. there are gay men who are women and lesbians who are men because male isn't the opposite of female.
"conflicting" labels are a part of many people's queer experience, because the human experience isnt simple enough to be put into neat perfect categories. if you truly support trans/genderqueer people, you need to accept the fact that gender and sexuality is complex and there will be people whose identities you don't understand

i'm regularly astounded by the cognitive dissonance some of yall have to accept that gender is a social construct with infinite possibilities with the capacity to be deeply personal and individual but still think there's a list of like 4 acceptable sexual orientations and if you go outside of that list or mix entries on that list or relate to them in a non-traditional way not only are you Breaking The Rules you're personally directly harming people who follow them

honestly as a butch, i just gotta say it: that "chivalrous knight in shining armor" crap is objectifying as hell and it's not fun, cute, or validating to apply to us, it provides a burden for us to bear, it makes us paranoid, tired, weary and feel like we're being reduced to a stereotype, or like we're being forced into a mold.
i'm not a knight just because i'm a transmasculine person who looks tough and can theoretically protect femme queers. i'm literally just standing here, being transsexual. i'm not inherently "chilvarous," i don't have any obligation to protect people just because i adopted the label "butch". what if i'm weak? what if the butch needs to be protected? what if the butch is disabled, traumatized, or just scared? i'm a wheelchair user.
why can't femmes protect their butches? why does it always have to be the butch being the chivalrous knight in our yearning posts and poems? why do we have to weave a performative ass narrative of the masculine partner swooping in to protect their defenseless feminine partner? how the HELL is this progressive or subversive at all? this is literally reinventing the binary.
the way the (white) cis lesbian community treats its butches is alienating as all hell. we are not here just to protect other people. we are not inherently protectors. we are not all strong. we are allowed to be weak. we are allowed to be scared. we are allowed to be hurt. we don't HAVE to protect our femmes, if we like femmes at all. not every butch is attracted to femme people in the first place.
butch isn't a lifestyle, it's not a set personality type. it's not a specific set of actions; it's just queer masculinity, that can be expressed by a multitude of queers for a multitude of reasons. it's not one specific set of traits. masculinity is not just found in protecting others and acting tough, it's also in being soft, vulnerable, weak and tender.
just let butches be people, don't turn us into objects before we even get out of the gates. all of this removes the human element of being butch. if the queer community can't afford that, we can't get it from anywhere, because we sure as hell aren't seen as humans by cisheteronormative society.
don't force me to see myself as a knight when i'm the one who needs help just because i'm masculine, or just because i'm a man.
butches need help, too.

I am literally fucking BEGGING you all to also acknowledge the racism behind the terms "non-man" and "non-woman" and how they're used in queer definitions.
Black and Indigenous queer people have literally been talking about this since the definition was COINED but there's literally NO acknowledgement of this when pointing out why "non-men loving non-men" and "non-women loving non-women" are shitty fucking definitions to force on a whole community.
"Nonman" and "nonwoman" are terms that have been historically used to describe the degendering of black people in society. And words can obviously be used to mean different things- we don't have to stop using these terms altogether. But forcing these terms on a whole community of queer people is really fucking antiblack.
Not to mention that it blatantly degenders a lot of 2S lesbians and gays as well. It basically tells them that they can't be 2S and as a lesbian or gay at the same time, because then they would be "contradictory." I seriously hope I don't have to explain how racist it is to exclude a large portion of Two-Spirit people from your queer label because they don't fit into your neat little white gender binary.
Like these definitions aren't bad to use for yourself personally- but stop forcing them on all lesbians/gays. And if you're advocating for why these shouldn't be used as the most prominent definition, PLEASE acknowledge the racism aspect of it.

stop assuming you can deconstruct gender without deconstructing sexuality when its all just people trying to communicate complex identities with limited vocabulary
aka if you can accept gender is a social construct of labels so bigender girlboys make sense, you should be able to accept lesboys

i don't feel nearly as ashamed or hesitant to talk about my queer tgirl attraction to men as my tguy brothers would feel talking about their attraction to women
obligatory "if you're a trans guy and your attraction to women is het, that's real and okay! your trans experience isn't a monolith and other trans people being different doesn't make you different or wrong"
like, think about it: hardly anyone bats an eye when a tgirl uses grindr or calls herself a faggot, but as soon as a man calls himself a lesbian, everyone gets on his ass. anything for an excuse to shit on lesbians, i guess. it makes me angry that nobody sees this hypocrisy or these ties back to the lesbian separatism that infected the community post-70s. it's not gone, it never went away
this isn't exactly profound news to anyone who gives a shit about lesbian history. just something i find interesting
