Gotta Be A Joke

do people understand that the lesbian/dyke community was originally created by women who were comfortable enough in their womanhood but also in their gender expression to be butch and be masculine and love women in society comfortably with support from people around them who also experience the same thing?? as a dyke i have never once felt compelled to get top surgery or change my name or my pronouns, because im comfortable with the sex i was born as. i’m not saying anything is inherently wrong with sex dysphoria and wanting to transition however refusing to let go of a lesbian label while identifying as “male” or “male-adjacent” is just plain lesbophobic and misogynistic. the entire point of dykes is that they’re women who are comfortable being masculine. if you’re a women who changes everything about herself (ie name pronouns body etc) then what about you is dyke? and tbh idgaf if you “still feel like your connection to women is queer” it’s sure as shit not dykey because being a dyke is to be a masculine lesbian. sorry but you can’t have your cake and eat it too. when did words lose literally every meaning. how is saying “once a lesbian always a lesbian” and shit like this not coined as lesbophobic????

Society isn't "becoming more sex positive" it's becoming more porn obsessed.

hi i made a tumblr bc my terf gf @dykeotomy demanded i speak my mind freely here bc i can’t do it at my overpriced liberal bs university

“i say mostly cis because, while i am largely gender non conforming…. i still am a woman?”

how sad is it that gnc women truly believe womanhood is about femininity

scored shoutout from sexy gf!!!!

i want to talk about a phenomenon in the trans community that reminds me of political lesbianism—a phenomenon that my gf refers to as “political transgenderism.”

during the second wave of feminism a lot of hetero/bisexual women stripped their sexualities and put on the label “lesbian” as a means to progress feminism. they believed that to be a feminist meant they had to exclude men from their attraction, despite the fact that sexuality is an innate, uncontrollable trait!

similarly, i see this sentiment crop up in trans communities. every single person who touts “you don’t need dysphoria to be trans” is a proponent of political transgenderism. they believe that in order to destroy the evil cisgenders, MORE people need to identify as trans or nonbinary! they believe that identifying as trans/NB is a valid political strategy.

my issue with both political lesbianism and political transgenderism is that there is no need to change your identity in order to fight whatever fight you believe in. i don’t need to claim to be Black in order to be anti racism or claim to be an amputee to be anti ableism. the only type of person who needs to center themselves and their identity in their political beliefs is a selfish and egotistical one.

political lesbians and political transgender people co-opt the struggles and vulnerabilities of marginalized groups. they use stereotypes and generalizations as an attempt to “pass” as “valid.” when really, the only thing that makes one a lesbian is exclusive female same-sex attraction, and the only thing that makes someone trans is dysphoria.
