Happy lesbian visibility week!!

To celebrate, here are some of my favorite (well most of them) lesbian characters! Ignore how many cartoons there are

Image description: a collection of photos of canonical lesbian characters. First is Robin Buckley from stranger things, crossing her arms. Second is Amity Blight from the owl house, holding the rebus. Third is Tara Jones from heartstopper, smiling big. Fourth is Darcy from heartstopper, smiling at lunch. Fifth is pearl from Steven universe, holding a guitar. Sixth is Vi from Arcane, bringing up her hoodie. Seventh is Caitlyn from arcane, looking smug. Eighth is Adora from the shera reboot, smiling and blushing. Ninth is Catra from the shera reboot, looking angry as she drags the sword against the wall. Tenth is Scorpia from the shera reboot, smiling nervously. End description.

It's concerning that this is now an LGB and women's issue now, but I really encourage people to begin purchasing USB drives or external hard drives and saving digital research on things such as gay & lesbian history, screenshots of tweets that might be important, homosexual and bisexual research, women's history, radical feminist books or PDFs, and really just anything that is at risk of being "corrected" by gender ideology or made inaccessible by academic publishers.

We need to save these things in a hard copy format as opposed to just using internet archive or taking Sci-hub for granted, because these organizations are experiencing heavy lawsuits. Additionally, it's becoming common for LGB and gender nonconformity history and research to be "rewritten" by gender ideologists. Actually, this is even true for past research and history on transvestism and transsexualism, too, in addition to things such as sex dysphoria, etc.

I bought three 64GB USBs for just $25. If you can't afford an external hardrive, buy some different colored USBs and start building your own library. We need to preserve this information and decentralize it as much as possible. It's worrisome enough that we rely on digital archives this much just generally, especially with the advent of AI and government and corporate attempts to eliminate data privacy and control.

This is a women's rights issue and an LGB issue now.

Time to learn about more people and things that influenced my politics~

The Combahee River Collective.

They were a Black feminist lesbian socialist organization active in Boston, Massachusetts from 1974 to 1980.

"The Collective argued that both the white feminist movement and the Civil Rights Movement were not addressing their particular needs as Black women and more specifically as Black lesbians.

Racism was present in the mainstream feminist movement, while Delaney and Manditch-Prottas argue that much of the Civil Rights Movement had a sexist and homophobic reputation."

The Collective is perhaps best known for developing the Combahee River Collective Statement, a key document in the history of contemporary Black feminism and the development of the concepts of identity politics as used among political organizers and social theorists, and for introducing the concept of interlocking systems of oppression, including but not limited to gender, race, and homophobia, a fundamental concept of intersectionality. Gerald Izenberg credits the 1977 Combahee statement with the first usage of the phrase "identity politics".

Source

Demita Frazier, Beverly Smith, and Barbara Smith were the primary authors of the Combahee River Collective Statement in 1977. [...]They sought to destroy what they felt were the related evils of capitalism, imperialism, and patriarchy while rejecting the belief in lesbian separatism. Finally their statement acknowledged the difficulties black women faced in their grassroots organizing efforts due to their multiple oppressions.

In “A Black Feminist’s Search for Sisterhood,” Michele Wallace arrives at this conclusion: We exists as women who are Black who are feminists, each stranded for the moment, working independently because there is not yet an environment in this society remotely congenial to our struggle—because, being on the bottom, we would have to do what no one else has done: we would have to fight the world. [2] Wallace is pessimistic but realistic in her assessment of Black feminists’ position, particularly in her allusion to the nearly classic isolation most of us face. We might use our position at the bottom, however, to make a clear leap into revolutionary action. If Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression.

Just saw an Exclus on Twitter wip up this definition of lesbian that completely erases lesbian love and attraction and I truly am beyond pissed about it

How are you going to be so mad about sharing your spaces with nonbinary people and transfems who still use historical terms like Bi Lesbian that you completely erase Lesbian Love. Lesbians fought for years to be recognized as lovers, for their attraction to be seen as valid in a space that was dominated by misogynistic cis gay men, and you want to take that away because you're so full of hate.

You cannot complain about "centering men" when you yourself are just making Political Lesbianism / Separationism part 2.

Well I've finally been banned from Twitter, my guess is because I made a submission to the Australian Human Rights Commission irt allowing lesbian events in Australia (lesbian events that exclude non-lesbians (i.e. bisexuals, trans-identified males, etc) are currently illegal and punishable by literal imprisonment, y'all think I'm joking but I'm not, Australia is just that level of dystopia rn) and my submission got published on the Australian Human Rights Commission website, so The Most Oppressed Demographic went on a reporting spree on my twitter, so now I'm banned. Which means I have returned to the tumblr that I may have been neglecting. I'm sorry, but twitter and its character limitation was just addictive to me idk lmao

Anyway, the Australian Human Rights Commission released their preliminary decision to expressly ban lesbian events nationwide, so here's my response which I imagine the Commission will ignore just as fervently as they ignored my first submission:

I know I'm screaming into the void but like... the tiktokification of lgbt rights and gay ppl has rotted ppls brains. Idc if you are actually gay or lgbt or whatever, don't call me and my gf fruits in public. I DON'T KNOW YOU. if you are lgbt and joke about that with your friends or if you're straight and your gay friends think those jokes are ok, it doesn't matter. YOU ARE A STRANGER. my gf has literally been in fear for her life bc of her same sex attraction and we don't need to hear your funny homophobic jokes. neither of us are totally comfortable with our identities yet and have trauma. don't call random gay people you meet fruits or f*gs or qu**rs or d***s. idk straight ppl (and other gay ppl!) are getting too comfortable w this shit. not everyone is cool with your ironic homophobia

It sucks that we're seen as sin. It sucks we're not heard. It sucks that we don't have rights in some states. We can't help it, we're just born that way. A lot of us want to live a happy life without all that bigotry, but we can't for fear we'll be killed off or threatened, so we keep quiet about it. Sometimes it feels our voices aren't heard. People who are gay or lesbian are told that they are sins and going to Hell, people who are bisexual or pansexual are told that they have to pick one gender, people who are trans or nonbinary or an enby in any way are told that "you are a man/woman! There are two genders! Pick one," people who are ace are told that they have mental problems or that they just haven't felt that yet, and so much more. We need to work together, we can't reject each other. We need to stand together and let our voices be heard. We are valid, and we are human.
