Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Honor those killed in anti-trans acts of violence; mourn the lights in our community that have gone out; say their names and tell their stories; and vow to fight for those still with us.
As a butch lesbian, I HATE when ppl call me a stereotype. I CANT be a stereotype Bc I EXIST! A stereotype is a fictional manifestation of conflated ideals abt a specific group of ppl. But I’m not fictional!! I’m in This Bitch!!! Just say u hate lesbians and go!
Also – making a lesbian character butch isn’t a Stereotype either. Making her predatory and obsessed w str8 girls is a stereotype, bc that’s a concept non-lesbians invented. But butch lesbians just exist.
To make a lesbian character butch is actually powerful bc it’s making it undeniable that she’s gay. it’s showing men a woman and saying very clearly “she’s not for you!” And that’s not a lesbian stereotype! That’s a lesbian truth!!!
Non-lesbians can and should reblog
TERFS DONT TOUCH! NONE OF U ARE VALID AND IDC ABT UR OPINIONS!!!
“Sometimes I find that music is so much more attractive than love. I don’t know… It’s like some kind of euphoria, that love can’t bring to you.“– Florence Welch photographed by Cybele Malinowski (2016)
