TW: mentions of s@
A bit BTS:
I posted a video with the song savages by Marina and The Diamons, my focus was on portraying how s@ could happen to anyone and everyone regardless of gender, age or ethnicity
The people portrayed are (mostly) fictional:
1. John Reilly from the movie Sleepers
2. Endymion from Greek mythology
3. Medusa from Greek mythology
4. Lisbeth Salander from the Millenium Trilogy by Stig Larsson
5. a fictional Indian school girl
6. Dinah from Christian/Jewish religion
7. a fictional gay man from Africa

Why I don’t want KOSA to become a act: A message to those who support it
I have a non-binary friend who likes women. I have a transgender friend. Their parents don’t know this. And they are not good. If they were found out, their lives would change for the worse.
They would possibly be sent to conversion therapy, be shunned, be abused, they would be hurt, they would be disowned, be forced to be someone they aren’t.
If you want safety for the people. Why do you want it to be your very own, sanitized world full of nuclear families who have unhappy parents because they have been forced into the american rules. Why do you want that kind of world where we watch football while people are dying. Why do you want silence, not freedom? I thought this country was a free country. This country is a horrible place, and I can’t with this.
We’d lose friends we made online, we would lose them and we can’t get them back, we can’t do that. Because the government would have eyes and ears all over, the content we watch would be dictated. The media would have to be approved.
We live in a world that can’t listen. We live in a world that is soon to become a dystopia if we don’t act. We live in this horrible world.
Signed, a Aromantic asexual. Someone who may get exposed to the government if this bill gets passed by the law.

So if we just do away with all definitions of all words - or perhaps, to your preference, just the definitions pertaining to women and homosexuals - how would the world function?
If we do away with the definition of lesbian as meaning exclusively same sex attracted female humans, what do you think will happen? Would homophobia against lesbians increase? Absolutely! Would lesbians be increasingly exposed to conversion therapy, sexual assault, and rape? Yes! How come you are okay with this? Unless you hate lesbians and want these things to happen to them....
Similarly if we cannot define women anymore as simply adult human females, won't all the legal protections of women which we have fought so hard for, with literal blood, sweat, tears, and jail time, be for nothing? We can't protect a demographic that we can't define. Saying a woman is a feeling is deeply misogynist and ignores the experiences of born women as an oppressed group.
It seems like All Lives Matter and I Don't See Colour are understood as erasing unique black experiences and not helping solve racism or protect black people, but we can apparently Not See Women and All Sexualities are Lesbian and no one except the lesbians seem to notice or care that this erases and endangers lesbians..... The misogyny is jumping out.
Lesbian means female human exclusively attracted to other female humans.
Bisexual mean any person attracted to both sexes. They are mutually exclusive terms. The same way that dog and bird are mutually exclusive. The same way that tea and plastic are mutually exclusive... If we don't have words that have definitions, how are we supposed to communicate and be understood??
Unless it's your goal for lesbian boundaries to not be understood or communicated (and therefore freely violated)
Excuse me, but I want you to think about what you just did here.
You sent this to a 15 year old on the internet who has made the post 'bisexual lesbians, reblog if you agree' to express the fact that a person who is not a man can feel attraction to both genders, but also be moreso attracted to other people who are not men and be valid (or be so romantically). A 15 year old who simply just wanted to advocate for the feelings of people who identify as multiple different labels to express their complicated emotions in a way that feels right for them. A teenager who doesn't wish for women to be raped, and wants nothing more than to say 'I support your emotions and nobody can tell you how you works'.
This is highly innapropriate, and telling a child that advocating for someone's valid emotions and identity is them wishing for those people they are speaking for harm (especially going to the lengths of accusing them of blatantly supporting conversion therapy, rape, sexual assault, and all of those things) is even worse. This makes absolutely no sense, and I will say that coming forward with an entire paragraph on anonymous to send to a child on the internet in order to 'prove them wrong' on a serious matter (that you are making worse with your opinion) is absolutely ridiculous.
Please get yourself and whoever is reblogging my post with 'block op, they're homophobic', 'stop being homophobic' and etc off my page.
And plus,
And there are multiple ways to be a bisexual lesbian, such as but not limited to,
-Being bisexual, but having a strict romantic attraction to people who are not men.
-Being bisexual but having a preference for women.
-Just feeling comfortable with the fucking label.
Thank you, have a nice day, anon. I hope you and whoever is sending me these things alike have a lovely time getting over yourselves.
