the conflation of terf and lesbian was started and carried through almost entirely by terfs and no doubt it is detrimental to lesbians but I have to say that the onus of dissociating terfs from lesbians is on lesbians and not the bpqant people currently being hurt by lesbian tumblr’s cryptoterf tendencies. bpqant people who have been driven out of supposedly ‘safe’ spaces by queerphobia, biphobia, aphobia, transphobia and exorsexism do not owe shit to the people who hurt them. it’s not our fault wlw tumblr is full of rhetoric that hurts us. blaming us for it is disingenuous and frames as the aggressors of a situation of which we are the primary victims
