Advertisement for Mona’s Club 440 in 1942, with the explicit use of the word “gay” featured prominently. The word “gay” during the 1940s also denoted “happy,” and to the casual reader even the reference to “butch,” meaning masculine in gay argot, might have escaped attention.

However, the discerning, sophisticated, 1942 reader would quickly understand that Mona’s Club 440 catered to an almost exclusively woman audience during World War II.

Gladys Bentley carved out a place for herself amidst this curiosity, playing at rent parties and the legendary speakeasies of “Jungle Alley” at 133 between Lenox and Seventh Avenue. She would transform popular tunes of the day with raunchy naughty playful lyrics. Dressed in signature tux and top hat , she openly and riotously flirted with women in the audience. Her popularity and salary was ever increasing , as she was frequently mentioned in many of the entertainment columns of the day. #gladysbentley #lgbt🌈 #butch #harlemrenaissance #harlem #monasclub400

okay also i want to remind everyone that lesbian terfs are not the face of the lesbian community no matter how much they pretend otherwise and bisexuals who believe in monosexual privilege/mogai politics are not the face of the bisexual community no matter how much they pretend otherwise

aka if you think that the bad politics of a select few reflects on an entire community or you use those bad seeds as an excuse to let your lesbophobia/biphobia come out of the woodwork then the one with the truly bad politics is you. i’m so tired of seeing rhetoric that lumps vocal idiotic minorities in with whole communities.

what gender critical should mean: questioning gender norms, the categorisation of genitalia, and how femininity and masculinity are perceived and represented in our world

what gender critical is on tumblr: transphobic, but like, a feminist version
