associating lesbians solidly and solely with transmisogynist radfems is exactly what said transmisogynist radfems want what are yall fuckin doing

As a lesbian trans woman, THIS. Pay ATTENTION. 

Terfs are INVADERS in lesbian spaces. To the point they are literally having to take a move from their fellow fascists and recruit police officers just to be present at lesbian events which are openly welcoming of trans women.

Do not help them by saying that terf and lesbian are synonymous. That’s the line they’ve been trying to push for a long time now, and if you start treating the two as one and the same you are helping terfs. That is not an ally type action. At all. The proper response when they say this is to remind them that they’re not, and especially if you’re a cis/non-trans woman lesbian, PUSH THEM THE FUCK OUT OF OUR SPACES.

Hey kids, squids, and none of the above! If you’re LGBT and enjoy Splatoon, come check out a new server made by yours truly and 2 close friends.

The server includes things such as:

  • Roles based on how active you are in the server!
  • Choosable roles depending on what you play as in the game (inkling or octoling).
  • A welcoming staff (made of 3 whole lesbians)
  • Self-assignable roles for pronouns and other identifications (if you don’t see your preferences listed, DM the admin Kelloggs)
  • Easily accessible information on Spla2n Gamemodes, Maps, and Updates.
  • A special role for those who don’t own the game but still want to engage in the fandom and community!

The link for the server is here! It would greatly help if you could share this post!

Having separate flags is good bcos it’s good to have a symbol for your particular identity to embrace but it also important to remember the rainbow flag unites us all. All LGBT+ people can use it. I feel like it’s somehow become assumed by a lot of younger lgbt+ people that it’s only fr gay men, which it isn’t and never has been

The rainbow flag when originally created by Gilbert Baker in 1978 actually contained 8 stripes that were assigned values and specific meanings that were meant to show what unites us and what we value as a community, 

It took 30 people to hand dye AND hand stitch the first 2 pride flags- 30 people of various identities came together to create the first symbol of pride. Hot pink was removed due to fabric shortages and turquoise was mixed with indigo to have the darker blue we have today.

Having individual flags is great to show your identity but I think we shouldn’t forget that the rainbow flag isn’t reserved for gay men, it was created to show what we all have in common regardless of identity.
