Additionally, Turning notes that language has evolved to recognise women as sexually non-binary. For example, Turning says her lesbian partner had a “Gay Straight Alliance” at her high school, around 2007. That phrasing encouraged a binary – members were either gay or straight, with no real options for those who might have identified somewhere in between – and no word that specifically embodied female sexuality, the ‘L’ left conspicuously out of the GSA acronym.

We’re never getting back gay/lesbian-focused groups, are we?

I think people are starting to get sick of the whole postmodern TRA, words mean what makes my feelings happy/pp hard charade. Laurel Hubbard has really pissed some people off.
