Why do you automatically assume that OP meant trans women, when OP never said that?
The world outside of Tumblr exists, and in that world, cis men approach lesbians with this question all the time, but as soon as people on this hellsite hear lesbians complaining about a man trying to sexually harass or assault us, you all automatically assume every one of us is transphobic and blame us for being bitches when we were sexually harassed/assaulted! Victim blaming and blocking, sneering instead of remembering that cishet men prey on us!
I and my girls would get approached in lesbian bars by annoying af cis dudes asking us the same gd question, and making lewd comments, trying to touch us, saying they could turn us, asking if weâre willing to use a strap on, why not the real thing? The amount of lesbian women I have known who have been correctively sexually assaulted by cishet men is extremely high, and I am included in that list, and the list of lesbian women sexually harassed by cishet men is uncountable.
Lesbians have the right to speak out on this website about the sexual abuse and harassment we face. Where the fuck did the support for lesbian women go? No one supports us anymore, International Lesbian Days get all but crickets from this site while every other letter in the LGBT+ gets floods of support, everyone assumes now that lesbian is some sort of dogwhistle for biphobia or transphobia.Â
Iâm too scared to even call myself a lesbian anymore. Whatâs the point? Iâm hated by straight people the instant they hear âlesbianâ, and now by my own community, and in both cases itâs because of assumptions made due to radicalised few.Â
Iâm done with this. Iâd rather be nothing.
