a lot of the lesbians that i personally know, myself included, don’t like being called q*eer because it feels like it’s somehow leaving our sexualities up for debate. it feels like people are scared of the finality of “lesbian.” if i’m a lesbian, that means no men, whatsoever. i love women and women-aligned people. but if i’m q*eer, that can leave so much to your imagination. maybe i like men, maybe i don’t. maybe it’s just my gender up for discussion, maybe it’s just that i don’t fit the status quo. going out of your way to call all lesbians q*eer instead of lesbians means that you don’t respect our right to the only identity that has ever truly felt like it’s fit us. i don’t want to be called q*eer for several reasons, but i especially don’t want to be called it OVER lesbian.
just because a ship is fictional doesnt mean it cant hurt people
when abuse survivors such as myself are exposed to untagged abusive or toxic ships clogging a main tag it can upset or trigger them
our feelings and experiences are valid and just because the thing upsetting us is “fictional” it does not make our feelings any less real
please respect abuse survivors
hey this is just a request but if you feel safe to reblog this could you maybe consider doing so? i think this is kind of important and so many times people speak over abuse survivors on these issues and say that our feelings dont matter. i think it might be good for this to be spread around a little
