idk if you've heard about it or if you're a sports person but the us is getting a women's professional baseball league for the first time in 70 years and all four teams are named after women who broke barriers. new york's team, specifically, is named after dorothy height, a Black woman who spent her life fighting for civil rights and women's rights in nyc. i just thought it was really cool that they did that and not enough people know about it imo. it's a great tradition that i hope they continue when they add more teams in the future

A great place to donate to First Nations groups impacted by the ongoing wildfires 👇

anyway i think pride month is a good time to think about how lesbophobia and biphobia faced by women are not actually different types of bigotry in any concrete way, it's all just slightly different manifestations of the overlap between misogyny and homophobia that causes people to treat women like they are not a reliable authority on their own sexuality. its not that one type of queer sexuality is meaningfully more accepted its that asserting your own sexual identity as a woman is pretty much just seen as a threat to general society and will receive whatever pushback is easiest to reach for. unfortunately sometimes as a reaction to this we have a tendency to place the blame on each other for this treatment instead of realizing we're all crabs in the same bucket.
