#and then in the 00's when cis lesbians were more visible in media and online

#I don't generally talk about this on here#ever#but the bechdel test post made me think about it again and#wanted to try to put it into words#at the risk of being dogpiled by people who don't really understand what I mean#seb and I have this joke “jaydee hates women”#and it's partly true#I hate how women are portrayed in the media#not just fictional media#but news media and even anecdotes#there's a certain way that people are taught to perceive and expect to perceive women#I'm not an exception to that#I grew up in the 90's with GRRRRRRL POWER#and then in the 00's when cis lesbians were more visible in media and online#and then in the 10's when trans women joined the parade#and LOTS of people#especially artists#choose women and the portrayal of women and femininity as the focus of their art#the tradition of womanhood the reversal and then abandonment or transformation of gender roles#retellings of fairy tales and old stories etc etc with women in the lead and romantic roles instead#that's all so incredible and I love that for you#but when I excitedly click on art of what I think and hope is two trans men or even nonbinary people and find out#that it's actually two women#especially two sapphic women#I feel like it's saying “this isn't you.”#people like me don't appear in amazing and beautiful art and people like me aren't discussed and lauded#I feel like if I could embrace being a woman and force myself to romantically love other women#then I'd be accepted and could feel good seeing myself in the art that I love#but I'm not a woman#I don't romantically love women
