aces being personally offended by the sexualized content media produces as though its acephobia and not the result of misogyny, heteronormativity and hypermasculinity – what makes you think we benefit from sexualization when that’s how gay people have been vilified always. what makes you think we benefit from the popularity of lesbian porn made for the straight male gaze

if the stone butch blues movie really does get approved and starts being made and it gets announced, you guys better throw a fit and loudly argue against it. the author of stone butch blues did not want a movie adaptation for multiple very good reasons and now that they are dead hollywood decides to steal this book about butch lesbians and turn it into a story for trans men. it is erasure and it is evil.
