grounded cosmonaut

this little comment exchange is exemplary of the way that trans activism erases female homosexuality, and nothing female homosexuals do is okay with them. I really like the way she worded her comment, we are just trying to describe our female homosexuality, not work backwards from a label, and female homosexuality will always exist no matter what we're allowed to call it.

lesbians are non-men-loving-non-men, lesbians can like males, lesbians can like penis, it's okay to have a genital preference but liking pussy doesn't have anything to do with liking women

this woman says, okay fine, my exclusive female same sex attraction still exists whether it's called lesbianism or not, but in any case, I'm not attracted to males.

u sound like a terf, men who think they're women don't want you anyways

The brainwashing has less to do with trans people (they're just a loud convenient distraction right now) and more to do with the hundreds of years the US has spent extinguishing the Black slave descendent revolution their asses deserve overall

They've gaslit us into thinking our higher rates of poverty and death are more the fault of laziness or some inherent biological default than the fact that we were violently torn from our countries of origin and tossed into the ocean like trash and completely stripped of identity and considered 3/5ths of a person by law and still barred from public life after slavery and still hung from trees publicly to cheering crowds through the 1980s. The modern trans experience is not even remotely comparable to African diaspora but the government has allowed it to flourish because of its homophobia and Big Pharma pocket stuffing with the added side affect that the white people involved in this are so desperate to be seen as a long oppressed minority they constantly push and draw this offensive comparison to the point that even Black people ourselves are making it for them

But I've written more about how this affects Black women in particular in other asks here
