#sapphicphobia

I saw this post before that was basically like “‘Omg, sapphic!’ Look who can’t say lesbian😂” Basically making fun of people for using the term sapphic.

I am sapphic. I am not lesbian. I think I’m just tired of people saying that they’re one and the same, invalidating any sapphics that aren’t lesbians. I’m sick of people acting like sapphic is some bad term used to not talk about lesbians, when it’s just an umbrella term used to include many, many people. This also plays into a lot of bi and pan-erasure, but the hate for the term sapphic (at least, that I’ve seen bc I’m on one of the hell-sides of the internet) is so genuinely baffling.

This is sapphicphobia.

If you're a woman / fem presenting and you also like women... you're more likely to be assaulted because you deal with BOTH Sexism AND Sapphicphobia (using this bc these people said lesbians but it applies to all wlw).

As many are aware, the tumblr known as sapphicphobia was known for gatekeeping the lgbt+ community and trying to exclude ace/aros from our community. They have recently made a post that came under fire where they distastefully put gates over our pride flags in an attempt to feel better about their gatekeeping. I can not determine if this post was the reason that the previous user deactivated, so if someone would like to fill us in, please do.

Since this tumblr was surrounded with such hate and negativity all around, I decided to adopt the url and turn it into something positive. In this case, it is an ace positivity blog and ace discourse blog. This blog is run by two mods, mod Syl and mod Eve. Let’s make the community more positive and inclusive :)
