no offense but like. we can tell when you use ‘lesbian’ even though you probably mean ‘sapphic’ in your positivity posts or whatever. we can also tell when they’re not malicious or intentional, so that’s why i’m not upset, but i am going to say that bisexuals should not apologize for inserting themselves into a space made for them just because the wording is wrong.

if your post is about women who love women and not about lack of attraction to men, or lesbophobia, or struggling with comphet (though that’s its own other discourse), or anything exclusive to being a lesbian that isn’t general or vague....... then bi sapphics have a right to assume you’re talking about us/them too.

otherwise ─ dare i say it ─ you’re biphobic lmao.

if you mean lesbians and sapphics, say lesbians AND sapphics. it’s not hard.

#this wasn't about anything specific #i was just thinking about how often we get erased from sapphic posts bc the word 'lesbian' take priority so often #which is fine... if it's about lesbians. and only lesbians.#but if it's not...#anyways i think now's a good time to say that a lot of those 'sapphic yearning' twitter accounts suck #especially when they're usually run exclusively by lesbians like yeah of course they'll end up not representing all of us #that's natural for a lot of groups to center themselves y'know?#bitwt already called this out some months back and ofc it got denied and they got laughed at and harassed and whatnot #so here i am to remind y'all and say it again!#bi tag #biphobia #bi erasure #bi sapphic #bi sapphics #bi women
