i am once again begging y’all to stop saying that lesbians are more privileged than the other lgbt sexualities. we are LITERALLY the smallest sexual minority group in the community. not to mention,
- our flag is never respected or used, and people will come up with any excuse to disrespect it and it’s creator
- our terms and labels are co-opted by people who aren’t lesbians and when we ask them to stop we are labeled as bigots
- our sexuality is fetishized and misrepresented in media only to pander to cishet men and about 80% of the representation we get is only cis white feminine women
- don’t even get me started on the way y’all treat lesbians of color, trans lesbians, non binary lesbians, and butch&femme lesbians
if you aren’t a lesbian, you need to be fucking speaking up about lesbophobia. people don’t listen to us. the amount of times i’ve seen a bi woman speak out against lesbophobia and a lesbian be called biphobic for saying the same thing is .. astounding. if you think that lesbians have some kind of “monosexual privilege” or have it BETTER due to how hyper sexualized we are, you’re a lesbophobe. pure and simple.
