LOL thanks Reluctant! I was getting annoyed at the "useless lesbian" meme bullshit over at AL. I'm pretty fucking useful, dammit I can put together IKEA furniture and can even make a casserole. Extra salty thanks to TRA tears.

No problem!!! I'm a little tempted to copy it 😆 the "useless lesbian" trope bothers me as well. When I first started questioning whether I might be lesbian and I went on Tumblr to try to hear other people's experiences, all I heard was "useless lesbian useless lesbian" over and over.. like, guys, how do you not see the misogyny/self-insult? "Ha ha I'm so incompetent" it saddens me to see so many people putting down gay women like that, usually themselves.

edit: actually a lot of them might be male "transbians" come to think of it. Now it suddenly makes sense. "Teehee I'm a useless woman" might be part of the fetish getup for an autogynephile.

Yeah! Fucking go for it! I hope it spreads like wildfire. My experience was the same as yours except with AL instead of tumblr. I saw that "useless lesbian" crap everywhere and it was super demoralizing. I get that it's supposed to be funny and "relatable" for some reason, but it was honestly so depressing seeing it constantly. It's one thing for minority groups prone to self-hatred making self-hating jokes. It's worse when others then feel entitled to make those jokes about us. Especially when the others are gross AGP men.
