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

forcibly dragging people's attention to adultism and anti-youth ageism. I queued up a ton of posts about it that are being released to my blog around this time.

it's a process.

Q. who the fuck is ALC?
ALC [Andrea Long Chu] is a ~leftist~ trans lesbian.
relevant links: twitter / the article she wrote for the NYT
she's also deeply, deeply biphobic and transphobic.

I don't like ALC. I'm not going to try to hide this. I hate her for legitimate reasons and also in a "fuck the way she chews her salads" way.

Some of her shit tier takes include:
- bi women who date men deserve the rape and abuse they face.....uh okay. radfem
- butch lesbians have masc privilege.........radfem again ! wow
- bi women who are married to men have straight privilege ...this is a trend
- transfeminine butches are just too poor to afford the surgery....ooh we edging into trscum territory now
- bottom surgery for trans women results in a wound....yikes op. big yikes
and so on and so forth. I really can't dig through her entire twitter, I just ate dinner.

but she also has an ongoing friendship with Contrapoints / Natalie Wynn.

what did she do? )

so like. thats a big fucking yikes from me, and a hard pass, and I don't like them and their shitty takes and I want to know why trans people have to put with intellectually dishonest wankers like this being the figureheads of our community in the broader internet trans discourse

I finally pinned down what it is about this post that makes me real angry and it’s like....you know we’re supposed to go out of our way to reckon with the specificity of your identity when you’re gay but when the ~libqueer mogais~ make up exhaustively accurate terminology to describe themselves suddenly we’re back to “just call yourself gay/bi/straight” (never ace 🤔).......we can’t reckon with the specificity of mogai genders and sexualities but we have to do that for gay people...we can erase the identities of people who use mogai words but when we do it to gay people it’s an unacceptable act of violence......to be quite clear I am not advocating that we erase the identities of gay people I just want us to think critically about why we perceive both mogai specificity and queer universality to be erasure of gay people; why is gay the only acceptable option, why is it the only one worth protecting, what is it about gay people that makes them worth more than mogais and queers

the FUNNIEST thing about this post that I made on tumblr on how bi, ace and nb people are allowed to be angry about the lack of representation in media is the number of dickheads accusing me of being an asexy who only tacked on bi and nb so I wouldn't look "goofy" (seriously, goofy) when I am literally a bisexual nonbinary...lord
