i know how hard it is to not know any other sapphic girls! i know how tempting it is to join a dating site just to meet other girls like you! but do not do it. these sites are for adults, and there are adults on these sites that will gladly take advantage of you.
people really, really need to stop putting the word ‘yuri’ on lists of “bad and socially harmful words you shouldn’t use” alongside yaoi. as if the emtymology or connotations of those words is in any way similar
I’ve seen people say that ‘yuri is problematic, you should say shoujo-ai instead’ and i’m begging you to please, please reconsider your position there
please
yaoi: coined by doujinshi circles populated by fujoshis and refers exclusively to pornographic content. literally means “no point, no meaning”
yuri: coined by the lgbt community in Japan. refers to any kind of romantic or sexual intimacy between women, explicit or not. literally means “lily”
remember all those posts from like 2012 that were like “im only attracted to fictional characters!! i never get crushes on real guys!! lol!” and now everyone’s a lesbian?
realizing that i’m a lesbian suddenly made me feel so much more confident about my fashion sense. i can wear a beanie and a shirt and weird trousers and sunglasses and not feel bad about it. i can wear mismatched clothes with a jacket that’s too big and not style my hair and not feel ashamed because men think i’m not attractive. i don’t care. i’m a lesbian and fuck you.
in this heteronormative society that we live in where being gay is seen as an abomination or is sexualized for the gaze of people who have no interest in seeing us as human beings instead of props, a girl loving another girl will always be revolutionary.
