but, I noticed some discourse going on in the notes and especially in light of the BLM movement, I want to make it clear that this post is 100% inclusive of WLWOC. like someone pointed out, when I said “white” it was part of a list of traits that Not every sapphic needs to have— this post was made for appreciation for ladies who AREN’T white/skinny/cis/short/soft etc. girls are allowed to be hard and masculine and fat and punk, especially Black girls who constantly get punished by society and labeled as aggressive even if they DO fit a soft, feminine mold. white women don’t need any specific, exclusive shoutouts in this day and age.

when you say you welcome NB MLM and WLW you better mean you welcome us, non-binary-ness and all. we’re NOT binary men or women. if you’re going to include me in MLM circles just because i’m masc-aligned and you’re going to reduce me to “basically a man” instead of seeing me as the genderqueer person i am, i don’t want to be included at all.

also, we definitely need more support for non-aligned NBs who are attracted to women but aren’t sapphic or attracted to men but aren’t achillean. they shouldn’t have to misgender themselves in order to feel included.

oh. my gosh??? ok i am actually like a few days late but a few nights ago i gained like 40 followers in an hour (??? idk either) and hit 700! i don’t even know where to begin, you all are amazing angels wow i love u all so so much thank you thank you thank you! anyway, to celebrate, i will be doing sapphic rates!

FORMAT:

gayley kiyoko song: girls like girls | cliff’s edge | given it all | pretty girl | one bad night | palace | feeding the fire | sleepover | gravel to tempo | ease my mind | this side of paradise

sappho quote: someone in some future time will think of us | what is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful | their heart grew cold, they let their wings down | once again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done | although only breath, words which i command are immortal | what cannot be said will be wept | may i write words more naked than flesh, stronger than bone, more resilient than sinew, sensitive than nerve | i know not what to do, my mind is divided | love is a cunning weaver of fantasies and fables 

gay meme: harold, they’re lesbians | she said with surprise in her voice for some reason | there is absolutely no heterosexual explanation for this | that gay shit: / me: | “as a lesbian—” supporter? “AS A LESBIAN” | all the cool girls are lesbians | we popping the biggest bottles when makorra happens tomorrow 

people wlw love: katie mcgrath | zendaya | hayley kiyoko | dodie clark | stephanie beatriz | melissa benoist | cate blanchett | grimes 

That’s great, and sharing “baby gay” stories is lots of fun, but it isn’t applicable to all wlw. For some, they had no stories from their childhood/teen years that involved repressed feelings for girls. Their attraction to them truly is a recent thing, something very “sudden”. If that applies to you, it’s easy to think you’re faking it, because if you were really a wlw, wouldn’t you have signs of it earlier on?

The answer is: not necessarily.

There’s no time limit for discovering your love of women. Even if you were alive for 20, 30, 40, 80 years without having any attraction to women, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible for it to happen now. For some people (but not everyone!) sexuality can be fluid, and you can discover and nurture a side of you previously unknown to you.

Maybe you were never really into boys but only recently figured out that you were into girls instead. Maybe you were married for 20 years and after your divorce, you fell in love with a woman. Maybe you never met a girl that’s “your type” but now that you have, you’re falling for her, and hard. Maybe your best friend coming out to you made you see her in a new light that you had never considered before. Maybe your partner realizing she was a trans woman opened your mind to to the possibility of loving a woman, because you love her as a person and you realized that gender is no barrier to that. Maybe you recently came to terms with being a trans woman, and your newfound comfort in your gender identity gave you the chance to explore your sexuality.

No matter what your story, it’s never too late to discover your sexuality. You do not need to have signs of liking women early on in order to be “legitimate”. Even if you never had a reason to believe you were anything but straight, if you find yourself starting to wonder if you’re not, you deserve the space to discover yourself and your identity.
