It’s Suffocating, How Gender Ideology Has Made Me Feel Like It’s Not Safe To Be Openly Lesbian.

It’s suffocating, how gender ideology has made me feel like it’s not safe to be openly lesbian.

Lesbians in gender ideology are put under the microscope. It feels like as soon as they find out a woman is a lesbian, anything she says can be grounds for the feared “TERF” accusations. Because to gender ideologues, lesbianism is inherently “terfy” because it is inherently male-exclusionary. Lesbians are automatically looked at with suspicion that we might be “terfs”, and it’s on us to break our backs proving otherwise.

I feel like if I’m talking to somebody who I know believes in gender ideology, I can’t mention I’m gay even if it’s relevant. Because I know that’s enough to alert them to keep me under close watch.

It’s frustrating, because they claim to be allies to gay people—sometimes they even claim to be gay themselves. But when confronted with true homosexuality, they see it as a threat, and they make sure we know that.

And I’m sure this is why so many lesbians seem to end up leaving gender ideology behind. Because it gets exhausting feeling like you either need to stay closeted, or constantly prove yourself to not be like those “cis” lesbians. And no proof will ever be enough, because your sexuality itself is enough for them to hate you.

look, if you cannot be in public barefaced without being self-conscious & feeling like shit, then your decision to wear makeup is not a choice freely made

jews have been sounding the alarm about the rise of antisemitism and neo-nazi rhetoric around the world for years now, and have been largely dismissed by all sides of the political spectrum. they’re playing the victim, they’re exaggerating, they’re lying, they’re a distraction from other more important issues, etc etc.

i hope this can be a wakeup call for many. if this is shocking to you, i urge you to find jewish voices and creators to follow. antisemitism is a canary in the coal mine for fascism and jewish people are the ones most equipped to recognize it and oppose it.

we will all need each other more than ever for what’s to come. make sure the coalitions and networks you build include jewish people too.

if your feminism excludes trans people, you are not a feminist. Feminism means equality.

The definition of feminism:

If Your Feminism Excludes Trans People, You Are Not A Feminist. Feminism Means Equality.

The definition of radical feminism:

If Your Feminism Excludes Trans People, You Are Not A Feminist. Feminism Means Equality.

I am a feminist, don't you dare try to silence me just because you've been brainwashed into thinking that being trans is okay.

Getting the "girls can do anything and still be a girl" talk is like being handed a sword. Being told “maybe you’re a boy” when you stray from the mold? That’s a cage.

One says: you’re real.

The other says: you’re wrong.

You were never wrong. You were always you. And anyone who tried to un-girl you for not being soft enough, quiet enough, pink enough? They were scared of a girl who didn’t need permission to exist.

You didn’t need to change. The world needs to catch up.

You know that feeling when you spread your wings like you've been grounded forever, feathers tangled in the wires of their expectations and suddenly, the wind catches you? The air’s not heavy anymore, it's freedom.They tell you you're too wild for a cage, that you should be smaller, quieter, tamer. But they don’t understand you’ve always been meant to fly. Maybe you haven't even figured out your full wingspan yet, but every time you stretch, you feel the sky, vast and endless, waiting.

You were never meant to stay in the nest they built for you. The moment you left, you started becoming the bird you were always supposed to be. They can keep their cages. You’ll keep your flight.

Or something like that, I like birds....
