okay friends I am messaging you from a friend's phone. Tumblr is being taken away from me for now, so I cant talk to any of you. I will not delete my account so stay with me for now. I will come back someday
Image Description: The "I bring a sort of X vibe to X that X don't really like" edited to say "I bring a sort of all these rules are made up vibe to sexuality and gender that exclusionists don't really like"
People, ya can't say gender is fake and then turn around and go "but sexuality is very rigid and needs specific requirements that you must qualify for before claiming that sexuality :)"
Anyways you can identify however you like! Bi lesbians are valid!
Do whatever you want forever!
like yes bisexual women in the past have been referred to or self-identified as lesbians. hell i don't even give a shit if a bisexual woman in a wlw relationship says that she's currently in a lesbian relationship. I DON'T CARE. but what DOES matter is that terminology is changing all the time and we have come up with new words for things that we didn't before and they have become universal. this is a good thing!
labels are created to use as a means to describe your identity in a way that wasn't already encompassed by previously existing ones. the lesbian identity was never about excluding bisexuals from our spaces and we have happily coexisted and thrived alongside bisexual women, given there is overlap in our identities. the word sapphic exists for a reason.
but to force multiple identities to identify as the same when their experiences are not, is gross and incredibly counterproductive. you're forcing lesbians, the ONLY sexuality that does not include attraction to men, to include those who do. living in the world that we do, are forced to live by the rules of patriarchy, alienated as a whole simply by virtue of not being attracted to men - some not wanting to associate with them at all - and wanting our own space for it. this is not being exclusionary, because we are still acknowledging that even if our experiences are different, we are no less or more queer for it. every group within the lgbt community deserves to keep the labels that describe their experiences separate (and no, don't use this as an excuse to separate things like bi and pan, or trans and nb, when they encompass the same experiences)
SO BASICALLY,
correct: bi women, especially those with a preference for women, and lesbians have a lot of overlapping experiences and either can identify as sapphic, but it is important to distinguish these labels given their individual experiences and history
incorrect: bi women can simultaneously identify as lesbians if they personally decide that they "feel" lesbian enough despite still being attracted to men. it's fine, my lesbian friend said it was ok!
Also like, even if abortion was murder, you still have bodily autonomy. The fetus is dependent on the parent for its survival, therefore it is a parasite using your organs without your consent.
If the preborn are people, then abortion is murder.
If they aren't people, then abortion is not worse then pulling a tooth.
Women who have had abortions know the latter is false. Maybe you should talk to some of the ones who have has a few decades to get out of denial and confront their trauma.
Abortion kills innocent people and you can't prove that the preborn are the only class of living human organisms that aren't people.
You're Pro-Violence and you know it.
Actually I have had 2 live births, 1 miscarriage, and 1 abortion. I also have 2 adopted children. So try again fucker. I know what I'm talking about whichever way you come at me.
Having an abortion isn't a fucking walk in the park but neither is carrying a child for nine months, giving birth, post natal depression, coping with the catastrophic changes it does to your body, and bringing up a child well and compassionately to be a decent member of society.
Fuck off with your blinkered opinion. Every child deserves to be wanted. We know what can happen to unwanted children and it's far worse than an abortion.
