Saw your thing on twitter about lesbians being the most searched porn category. No wonder we've got so many disgusting, rapist men 'identifying' as one. I'd honestly prefer people just flat out, openly hate lesbians without distorting the meaning of the term, rather than this. It simultaneously boils my blood and breaks my heart... Doesn't help that it feels like there are barely any actual lesbians, as compared to say gay men.

no it's true, that's why i look to the past...

i have fully accepted that as a lesbian i can’t assume allyship from anyone. i assume everyone is lesbophobic until proven otherwise. call me crazy but i’m right most of the time.
