#<- tagging for the lesboys

[teefersdotcom]

the regretevator discord situation is my 9/11 tbh because how can people NOT see the issue with banning any mention of lesboys.

like. apply that logic to any other orientation.

people are harassing bisexual people? ban mentioning bisexuality.

trans people? sorry, "trans" is a banned term now.

gay people? why don't we just ban the entire acronym just to be safe (sarcasm)

like. this shit rewards the people who were harassing lesboys!!! yeucc is unfairly PUNISHING lesboys for the crime of WHAT? DARING to headcanon characters with their own orientation? why is the solution to ban an entire orientation instead of the people harassing them?

do better. fuck queerphobes, and fuck all of the people celebrating queerphobia. I hope y'all learn and grow as people and stop being shitty to your fellow queers.

recently encountered a post where someone said "gender is fluid but sexuality isn't". (they were talking about bi lesbians.)

my first thought was: does that person, like. hear what they're saying? how can you explicitly hold two beliefs that are so logically inconsistent and not see it? how can you simultaneously think gender is this fluid and complex thing, but sexuality, much of which is defined around gender, is simple and stationary and its boundaries need policing?

but like, fuck, why even argue against it, right? there is no internal logic because there is no logical thought behind it. these are not genuine beliefs. this person is repeating what is currently acceptable in their (small) specific social circle. this is the same person who, a few years back, would be excluding nonbinary lesbians, but nonbinary lesbians are cool and normal on queer tumblr now, so they'll exclude bi lesbians instead, and not even pause to reflect on the difference.

oh, and if you read this and thought "these people don't even actually accept nb lesbians either", ding ding ding! because it's not a real, deep belief, that acceptance is extremely shallow and conditional. so as soon as someone is an nb lesbian in a way these people find odd (like being both a man and a lesbian) they will exclude them too and find a way to justify it.

why do we have to endlessly go through this cycle with queer identities. can we not? can we just not. i'm tired.

Trans men might identify as lesbian because...

They are multigender and therefore wlw or nblw

They are closeted in most contexts and refer to themself as a lesbian rather than a straight man so they don't out themself as trans

They don't pass and are generally assumed to be a lesbian/in a lesbian relationship, so they use this label to describe their experience with that

They spent a long time (often decades) identifying as a lesbian before discovering they were trans, and they don't want to leave the lesbian community that in some cases has become their family

They identify as female but use masculine terms such as man and/or he/him pronouns as a way of expressing gender nonconformity or butchness

It's their identity and they can describe it however they like

Trans men don't identify as lesbian because...

They want to make cis lesbians feel unsafe

They want to force cis lesbians to date or sleep with men

They think trans men aren't really men

They think all trans men who like women are lesbians and want to misgender straight trans men

They think trans women can't be lesbians

They hate lesbians

So like. The sooner yall can recognize that our identity is simply us trying to live our lives in the way that feels most accurate for us, and not a personal attack on you, the happier everyone will be and then we can focus on problems that actually matter.

Truffle Queer (or Trufflequeer)

A blankqueer stance that understands it's pretty much impossible to change peoples' minds over the internet, so why not have some fun with the idiots and haters? Trufflequeer is pro trolling in defense. Trufflequeer promotes trolling in defense against harassment as a way to waste the time of the harasser while not allowing oneself to get worked up.

It is pro:

Good faith identities

Intersectional feminism

Atypical dysphoria awareness

Sex positivity

Choice

History learning

Bodily autonomy

Freedom of speech, not freedom from criticism

Binary abolition

NeoAGABs

Alterhumanity

Trolling as an act of defense

Freaks

Weirdos

Hyenas

It is anti:

PRATs

Offensive, insensitive, and hateful transID

Contact

Gatekeeping

Bigotry

Harassment

TERFs (trans exclusionary radfem)

TIRFs (trans inclusive radfem)

TURFs (golf courses)

Capitalism

Anything not listed is up to the individual👍

Edit: remembered that ppl love emoji codes so the one for this one is 🩵🤎

[intersexfairy]

to all the lesboys, saphboys, lesbian/sapphic men, and boydykes: queer it up even more forever. we need more unabashed queers in this world and you deserve to express yourself as truthfully as possible.

anyone who's against your authenticity and joy can shove their queerphobia up their ass. please don't make yourself more palatable for people who don't have your best interest in mind. you deserve better.

:33 < youcannot support a community if youdont support everyone. youcant support the lgbtqia2s+ community if youdont support two spirits, or lesboys, or contradictory labels, or aplatonics, or xenogenders, or trans people who dont actively present as their gender whether by choice or not, and more. youcant say you support the community if youdont actually support it. either support the community as a whole or dont and get out.

i might get some hate for this depending on where this post goes but i think lesboys are so valid and the discourse about them is so ridiculous. like you guys shouldn't have to deal with all that and it frustrates me that people throw hissy fits over an identity that literally does not affect them at all.

"but men cant be lesbians-" wrong. butch lesbians and trans men have a really closely connected history with each other that practically intersects and you should really do some research on that before you make blanket statements, not to mention that gender and sexuality is weird and wobbly and fluid and a very personal experience. it means a different thing to each person. being a man can be something completely different and saying stuff like this ignores people like demiboys, demigirls, genderfluid and genderflux people etc. these people will really preach "demolish the gender binary!! love is love!!" until someone's relationship with gender and sexuality is a little too freaky for them to handle and be challenged by lmaoo

"ohhh but what about the cishet men who say they're lesbians to prey on women-" YEAH WHAT ABOUT THEM????? THIS AIN'T ABOUT THEM BRO!!!!! this argument also REEKS of terfy "trans women are just predatory men!!!111!!1" rhetoric and it grosses me out. yeah some men are gross and do try to pull this but that does not negate someone's entire identity completely just because of a few bad actors, you know that right? actual black and white behaviour.

queer discourse is silly and i don't know why it's a thing. just let people exist. it isn't that hard. we have worse things to worry about than whether someone calls themselves a lesboy or not. i think we need to unplug our ears and yank our heads out of the sand and remember that the queer community is what it is because of our unique and amazing diversity. arguing over labels like school children isn't gonna help that. damn.
