black lesbians honestly deserve so much more. they are constantly an afterthought in the lgbtq community despite having so much history in building it. it really hurts seeing other lgbtq members brush off black lesbians struggles to them “overreacting” or being “too emotional” over being constantly erased from their own community. listen to black lesbians. if a black lesbian tells you that you are making your lgbtq space unsafe or uncomfortable for them then you listen and make changes. it shouldn’t be controversial to say that black lesbians deserve to feel safe and accepted in the lgbtq community.
In honor of national coming out day, here's a reminder that:
- you are valid regardless of whether or not you are out
- you are under no obligation to come out
- only you can decide when and if you want to come out - but you should make sure that you are safe if you want to come out
- there is no "deadline" to come out
- if someone comes out to you, support them even if you don't understand yet!
- I am proud of you if you are closeted. I am proud of you if you are out. I am proud of you if you are somewhere in between. And no matter where you are, you should be proud too <3

But it wasn't an educating answer at all? You just told the anon that their thoughts were transphobic and cissexist
me: says that xx and xy are not the only combinations for male and female keryotypes. Includes links with dozens of examples and definitions. Warns them that that outdated interpretation of biology is harmful. Tags it as cissexism just in case someone would be upset by that stuff
you: that was mean
