"hetero is the new gay"

Ah, yes, of course. Straight men are important to the lesbian community. They're important because they are actively killing it by invading.

Never said that importance was good.

Who were the other "queer people" getting demolished during the AIDS crisis?! Cus it was mainly gay and bisexual men who had sex with other men who were being affected during the AIDS epidemic.

And y'know what those gay men were called when they were denied healthcare, or denied access to their dying loved one, or stigmatized for being "dirty"--queer. Queer wasn't some fun alternative way of saying gay, it was a slureant to degrade gay men because they were viewed as inferior, deserving of death and misery and diseased BECAUSE THEY WERE SAME-SEX ATTRACTED.

Q*eer is a slur, often the last word many gay men hear before they're murdered or assualted for their same-sex attraction. So can straight people please stop using it to make themselves feel "cool and special".

The only integral part to lesbianism is wanting to eat pussy, bro.

There's another integral part: having a pussy yourself.

Wait, are you saying that lesbians can have pussy and eat it too?

What witchcraft is this?

I dunno but your username suggests you know something about magic, lol.

🤣 I need a Twitter account for arguing purposes only, but I'd get banned within a week. One of my ex-girlfriends called me "controversial" today. But the shit these shitheads say isn't controversial?? Pssh.

I know for a fact my mom was in the goddamn trenches helping gay men during the 80s and 90s. I remember her sick ass friends and their funerals. I don't remember seeing any "trans lesbians" around... there were not any straight men identifying as lesbians in the mix.

Back then, straight men were just crossdressers / transvestites wearing their wives' clothes. They didn't consider themselves lesbians, and they weren't part of the LGB community.

What?! But "trans women" built the gay rights movement with their stunning and brave manicured nails and drug us ingrates to freedom--how could you not have seen them around?! Yet more trans erasure 😭😭😭😭

Question for cis lesbians: do you like being refered to as "cis lesbians"?

[–][deleted] 18 insightful - 1 fun18 insightful - 0 fun19 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No. Cis implies that I identify with gender roles/stereotypes for women, which I most certainly do not. I don't think any lesbian does because so many of those are related to relationships with men which we do not want.

[–]hufflepuff-poet 14 insightful - 1 fun14 insightful - 0 fun15 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, it's unnecessary and normalizes the false split between "cis and trans" people. Trans lesbians aren't a real thing since men can't be lesbians. Unless we're going to start referring to exclusively same-sex attracted trans men as trans lesbians, but they would hate that since they're running from the reality of being a butch lesbian. 🤷🏾‍♀️

No. I find it offensive and I tell people that if they ever say the word in front of me.

I am not cis. I am a woman, and I am lesbian. I will not be defined against mentally ill men.

[–]reluctant_commenter 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, because the definition of "lesbian" is homosexual and female, and throwing the modifier "cis" in front implies that transwomen (male transitioners) are lesbian, which they are not (since they're male).

edit: I'll second sneeuweekhoorn's comment, as well. I always forget that trans rights activists believe that "cis" people supposedly identify with gender roles and stereotypes for women. I do not, I am gender non-conforming (and honestly I would argue that all LGB people are GNC, just by the fact that being same sex attracted goes against expected norms/roles for each sex), not transgender or "cis".

It doesn't really bother me because I'm used to adjectives... such as gay woman, black woman, masculine woman... so cis is just another prefix to me. When you're used to being the default woman, such as a white/straight/feminine woman, of course cis is going to annoy you.

[–]reluctant_commenter 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ok, if "trans lesbians" are so important and you don't need "cis lesbians" then why not let "cis lesbians" split and make their own communities, so they're not bothering you anymore? Seems like a win for everyone involved...
