nobody is “reclaiming” the labrys flag. its never been taken. just because some terfs on a blue blogging site said the symbol belongs to them doesn’t mean it actually does. it was never their symbol. the labrys is used as a recognizable lesbian symbol off the internet by a large amount of people and it isn’t a terf symbol. yall just base your entire perceptions of the lgbt community based off internet interactions and never leave the house ever.
I don’t want wlw content! I want lesbian content! I don’t want men in my stories! I don’t want to see characters flirt with men! I don’t want to see characters fall for men! I want stories that are about women, and ONLY women!

If you’re butch, your body is butch. Your boobs are butch, your hips are butch, your narrow shoulders or short stature are butch. Butchness does not have to be about passing as a man or achieving that lanky teen boy androgyny that’s pushed on us. Just being as we are is butch. It’s about us making and taking our space in the world, not fitting into a narrow standard of masculinity.
why saying “trans men are men” as a dismissive statement comparing them to cis men is harmful:
i was first wolf-whistled at 11 years old by a man in a passing car, and was frightened and sick to my stomach. the creeping, sickening dread that comes with realising men are beginning to see you as an object for consumption is terrifying. walking down a dark street with keys between my fingers, being touched suggestively by drunk men at social gatherings, consoling my childhood friend after she was sexually assaulted and trying to help her find the confidence to press charges - these were things i had experienced firsthand through having a “girl’s” childhood and adolescence.
6 months into hormone replacement therapy i continue to experience misogyny firsthand from those who perceive me in my day to day as a masculine woman. i experience homophobia both from those who perceive me (incorrectly) to be a butch lesbian and those who perceive me (correctly) to be a gay man. i experience transphobia from those who can place me as a trans man, who see my high waist and hint of breasts and pubescent stubble and hear a mans voice from my mouth. even when i pass as a man completely i have to be on edge, i cant speak to a cishet man without worrying that he will take issue with however he could interpret my appearance and confront it, potentially violently.
i am a man, but i was brought up as a girl, and that has intimately shaped the way i experience and portray masculinity. denying what i experienced growing up as a “girl” would be essentially denying things that made me into the person i am today. trans men are men, yes, but its a completely different experience of manhood, and equating it to a cishet male experience is not only objectively wrong but also harmful, as it ignores the struggle, isolation & marginalisation that comes with being a trans man
it’s fucking laughable that when a lesbian says “i don’t like dick” people roll their eyes and sigh “no…no.. you just don’t get it - it doesn’t have to go inside you it’s not like heterosexual sex, oh my god” like shut up lmao??? i never want to see a dick, i never want to touch one, i never want to make anyone hard, the whole fucking concept is beyond disgusting to me.
not only do these people have zero empathy for lesbians (so much for tumblr caring about triggering people about sexual situations that are traumatic to them), they act like lesbians never given thought to non-piv sex in our lives lmfao
