don't like it when people treat lesbians like they're poor meowmeows who can do nothing wrong because it lets slide a lot of the bigotry and discrimination within the community. ntm sometimes a lot of hatred lesbians have for bi/straight women sounds like misogynistic talking points. this isn't to hate on our community btw, it's just i think infantilizing a group of people isn't good, it sounds like the way white queers infantilize themselves and then act like a victim when they're called out over their racism etc
i never did that though???! the whole thing with chappell, do you genuinely think lesbians don’t have the right to be mad about her being labelled something she obviously isn’t and has never been ?? and lets face it, it’s becoming a big issue within the community where fellow queer people assume lesbians to be terfs simply bcos they express they truly dgaf ab men???
as for the bigotry and discrimination against bi/het women by lesbians, i agree it happens and that IS wrong. but it’s a small percentage and yk that too.
and again, we cannot ignore the existence of bigotry against lesbians from every other lgbtqia+ bracket and het people. it’s really bad and it’s gotten to a point that lesbian community has no choice but to build walls around to protect themselves from hatred and objectification that comes from all directions. how do you expect them to take it and bear with it every time for the sake of maintaining ingroup harmony?
