#one of my dnd characters is a celibate-for-religious-reasons lesbian purely because im annoyed with this trope

[themoonking]

honestly, as a lesbian, the "this all-female religious group has taken a solemn vow of chastity, pledging to remain virgins all their lives... so they get around it by having sex with each other 😜" trope is a red flag when written by literally anyone other than a lesbian

#like disregard that viriginity itself is socially constructed in the first place #if your story operates in world where virginity is actually real and quantifiable #but also where a woman who has vowed to remain a virgin can have sex with other women w/o breaking those vows #ALL you are telling me is that you don't believe sapphic relationships are on the same level as straight ones #and that you don't believe sex between women is as important / serious / meaningful / et cetera as sex between a man and a woman #like what you are telling me is that you believe that f/f sex doesn't 'count' as 'real' sex #one of my dnd characters is a celibate-for-religious-reasons lesbian purely because im annoyed with this trope #i speak #i'm actually going to tag this as... #anti lore olympus #because i still can't get over athena and hestia being together
