They can pry "lesbian" from my cold, dead hands. When all is said and done, real lesbians will still exist, we've withstood the test of time, the rest of the made up "lesbian" larpers will be gone the way of betamax in a few years. 🖕🏾

Isn't what men have always done? Stealing from women?

Everyone can be lesbians except lesbians.

How about only lesbians can be lesbians and everyone else fuck off?

It's not even called Lesbos in Greek.

I am Greek. The island is called Λέσβος. And because the term lesbian has been used to denote female homosexuality,they no longer refer to themselves as lesbians (λέσβιοι,λέσβιες) or even say I come from Λέσβος.They usually say I come from Mytilene (the islands capital city).

Lol why don't I ever see/hear shit like this in the corners of the internet I go to? This is so bizarre to me. I don't know any TRAs who talk like this. I guess the 30+ year old black libfems I've argued with aren't homophobic. 😄✊🏾

“Stop using the term you invented! Make another one!”

It is not invented. It is an adjective of origin,referring to the Greek island of Lesbos.

The meaning of “women sexually attracted to women” was attached to the existing demonym millennia after the advent of the demonym, therefore, it was “invented.”
