sometimes it can be easy to view things as “discourse” esp if it doesn’t affect you directly. some of us do not have actual gay homosexual friends and family so we might not see how damaging this woke Homophobic regressive queer theory really is. but it can be devastating and I have family members that were deeply hurt by it and they are Adults who have been out for years so I can only imagine how devastating this rhetoric would be be for say a 14 year old lesbian struggling to understand her identity. my point is some Discourse is just straight up Homophobia being normalized and its wrong and you can’t really afford to be neutral & ignore this (for what? your internet friends? your lame social circle? lol) because it’s just going to get worse and leave all this trauma and pain in its wake
my point is this is not abstract and real gay people in the world are being hurt by narcissistic cruel homophobes calling their entire sexuality a “Genital Preference/Fetish”
Full offense, but if you state to be a system that formed without trauma youre not only being ridiculous and ignoring scientific facts, but youre also pretty much minorizing all the pain we had to go through to become so many, as apparently it is something everyone just develops if they want to and taking away safe spaces and resources meant for trauma survivors not roleplaying 13 year olds. It´s incredibly rude and hurtful and you please keep away from me.
How much do you guys want to bet that this was written by a ‘transbian’?
(Or a bi “”“”“"lesbian”“”“”“ looking for Good Ally ™ points.)
This is literally not how anything works holy shit.
When I was dating guys as a lesbian, I always had trouble figuring out what I was actually feeling, but I always remember that I could never stand how they smelled. I always thought guys smelled gross and I never wanted to stay close to them because of it. Undoubtedly it was either pheromones and/or my brain compartmentizing something as complicated as “males are and never will be attractive to you” as something I could understand: “guys are smelly and I don’t really like being close to them”
That’s biological sex, baby! And that shit wouldn’t have gone away if one of my exces said immediately post-breakup “oh actually I’m a woman.” It. Does. Not. Work. Like. That. Please. Go. Outside.
The amount of people who liked and retweeted the original post thinking it was some cutesy thing or made them a good ally or whatever is frankly disturbing.
i wish men understood that when women are talking about feminism and rape culture and shit, it’s not just a political conversation. it’s not about being a “social justice warrior” or whatever. it’s about our actual lives being shaped by misogyny since childhood, and the daily reality of living in fear of violence. this isn’t a fucking game or philosophical debate. this is our fucking lives.
