jewish lesbians are so strong and powerful, i know how hard it can be sometimes and how conservative some people are and how sometimes you feel more accepted being a lesbian in jew spaces than a jew in lgbt spaces and i’m so truly sorry for that. jewish lesbians deserve the whole world and i hope they’re having an amazing day. 💕

The ironic paradox of biphobia and lesbophobia is that lesbophobia will have you believe society wants you to be bi and biphobia will have you believe society wants you to be lesbian. The reality is that society does not want you to be lesbian or bi; that society only wants you to be straight, but will not hesitate to use other identities against you. If that means tricking you into believing your closest allies occupy a higher social standing than you and wish to keep you beneath them in the same way the straights do to them, then so be it. It’s not even divide and conquer, its recruiting us to do their own bidding and ridding them of us in the process. Heterosexuals as a class do not prefer lesbians to bisexuals or bisexuals to lesbians, thought individually each one might have differing opinions on which are most or least acceptable.

Attempting to convince you that bi privilege or monosexual privilege exists is an intended to shift our arms towards our allies instead of our oppressors.

Daily reminder that “Missing Person” posts are a common and often effective method that abusers use to find their victims that have run away from them. Also used to find people in the witness protection program.  

If you see a “missing person” post with a number that is not just 911 on it, be very wary. And if you do see someone who is supposedly missing, call the police, NOT the number provided on the post. I trust the police as little as anyone but they’ll at least be able to tell you if that person is actually missing and it has less of a chance of giving information to a possible abuser. 

A couple of red flags I’ve noticed:

  • Abusers claiming their victims are mentally ill or schizophrenic, to explain why they might not want to come back
  • Abusers giving any excuse to explain why their victims may not come back really
  • Abusers telling you not to approach their victims if you see them, or limit your communication with them
  • Abusers telling you not to mention them to their victims at all
  • Abusers claiming that their victims aren’t safe with their family or friends
  • Abusers claiming their victims are being threatened away from them
