Using words like Devastating and Euphoric to describe being lesbian is such a lesbian thing to do and I could talk about it forever.
Because we’ve been treated like shit from a community we’re supposed to find comfort in. And people keep trying to change the meaning of lesbian to be “more inclusive!” but all it does is waters down what we fought for. I’m not talking about non-binary lesbians, (I am one) but the people who say shit like “lesbians can have a preference for d*ck!” And stuff like that.
Because not only does that reek of fetishizing trans people, but I’ve never seen people saying gay men can like vaginas (though the way some seem to be obsessed with female anatomy is another conversation) but it’s always the lesbians. People taking over lesbian VISIBILITY week with heartstopper, people stealing the lesbian apocalypse and saying shit like “lesbians don’t deserve to be at the top of the lgbtq list” despite not knowing the history behind why and how we saved half of y’all’s asses.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. Because being lesbian is such a unique experience and nobody gets it. Not even the gays. Because they’ve never experienced comphet, or the hatred inside the community. Because they’re loved by everyone. Because it’s men, not women. It never is. Lesbian shows get canceled after one season, people censoring the word lesbian, etc. it’s always against us, and from everyone.
But there’s also the other side of it.
The part that can’t decide to if I should move to a cottage and wear dresses with floaty bottoms, high waists, and flowery prints while laying in a wildflower field. A LESBIAN stereotype, and my lesbian ass’ dream. Or if I should move to NYC, get a studio apartment to share with my painter gf while I work as an author and we ride around on a motorcycle. The butch and fem parts of me, the LESBIAN PARTS OF ME.
Women are so amazing. And only women/non men. I don’t want men in my romantic life and it’s such a happy thought for me. And that’s what makes me euphoric because I’m comfortable in myself, because being a lesbian is more than just a small part of myself. It’s dictated my friends, partners, everything. And I’ll be dammed if I get hate for making it my whole personality when people have gone and done that for me.
Was there a time when I wasn’t comfortable in myself? Yes, of course. But now I am. My LESBIAN self. I’m so proud to love women. Boobs are perfect and you won’t hear me being ashamed to admit that, even if I’m ace lmao. And we’re (mostly) a tight knit community, which brings me so much comfort. I love lesbians, being lesbian, lesbians in media, lesbian couples, everything lesbian. And I’m so happy with it.

as difficult as it may be at times, i love being a lesbian. i am so beyond proud to call myself a lesbian. lesbian love, lesbian joy, and lesbian community have been some of the greatest gifts i have ever experienced. to be a lesbian is to be home.

If you're a white femme and you want to participate in our communities, you need to start doing self-reflective anti-racism learning and work. The amount of harrassment and gaslighting directed towards studs and butches of color by white femmes on this website is absolutely abhorrent. They're siblings, family, friends, lovers, and most importantly, people deserving of care and respect. If we're not working to make the world safer them, we're failing in our role as femmes. Do better.
