This Is So Fucking Cool, Can This Be Used By All M-spec Lesbians Or Just Bi Lesbians Specifically?

this is so fucking cool, can this be used by all m-spec lesbians or just bi lesbians specifically?

I have a proposition for a bi-lesbian symbol, and it's the Lilith symbol "⚸". Here's why.

(under the cut)

the bi-lesbian flag, with the lilith unicode symbol in a bright yellow cream color on it.

my first thought when i saw the symbol of Lilith, was that it's a mix between the double venus ( ⚢ ) and the double crescent ( ☽☾ ) symbol. therefore...

☽☾+⚢ = ⚸ !

i've always known about the tale of Lilith and how she was cast away to flee the garden of eden in many a religious myth, and the reasoning behind her being "turned into a demon".

she is a symbol of rugged feminine strength, self-protection, and assertiveness. in many myths, she "disobeyed" adam (fought back against abuse/sexual assault and would not submit) and was banished from the garden of eden to become a "she-demon".

screenshot of a Wikipedia article. it reads "Lilith is a feminine given name sometimes given in reference to Lilith, a character in Jewish folklore who was said to be the first wife of the first man Adam who disobeyed him, was banished from the Garden of Eden, and who became a mythical she-demon. The mythological tale has inspired modern feminists."
screenshot of an article on the website "greenlit.com". it reads: "According to Jewish lore, Lilith was the first wife of Adam.  Although not mentioned directly in the Bible, Lilith has been used to explain the two contradictory versions of Creation within the book of Genesis.  Like Adam, Lilith was created from the dust and the earth, making them equal to one another.  When Lilith refused to lie beneath Adam, asserting her equality, Adam insisted that she should perform her wifely duties. 

By refusing to submit, Lilith incurred the wrath of God and fled to the Red Sea, where she was cast from paradise forever and became the succubus (a temptress of innocent men), the breeder of evil spirits, and a child-murdering monster of the night.  Lilith's defiance of the masculine order forced her to become the ultimate symbol of all that is demonized within the traditional patriarchal society: chaos, seduction, and ungodliness."
screenshot of an article on the website "greenlit.com". it reads: "It is this type of representation of the supposedly fallen woman that has contributed to the outdated and entrenched perceptions of femininity.  By examining such a defiant figure as Lilith, The (Un)Holy Trinity seeks to draw attention to these dangerous perceptions of powerful women as being shameful, or demonic and to question why these attitudes still persist today."

i believe that her story feels somewhat similar to how we as bi-lesbians are treated and percieved in our communities and throughout history, measured in worth by our proximity to men, sexualized, fetishized, cast out to make our own spaces, violently hated, threatened, abused, harrassed, demonized, and seen as harmful just by existing and asserting ourselves, even though we aren't "harmful". we're just people asserting our equality like lilith "was".

I Have A Proposition For A Bi-lesbian Symbol, And It's The Lilith Symbol "". Here's Why.

this is precisely why i decided that her symbol symbolizes us as bisexual lesbians! i hope people pick up my idea, i put a lot of thought and effort into it :)

okay ramblings part 3

disclaimer i am not the first person to talk about this by a long shot these are just my thoughts

while ive been looking through the blogs of transandrophobia deniers, ive noticed something that's really concerning to me, which i am again nowhere near the first person to see, and that is the normalization of radfem/terf ideologies, specifically the hatred of men/masculinity.

its just the whole "man bad woman good" thing all over again, except theres also "trans women are women" so clearly its perfectly woke and okay! /s.

a few examples where i think this is super obvious is the "TMRA" thing (which if you dont know stands for "trans mens rights activist" and is used to compare transmascs talking about their oppression to cis men claiming that they are just as oppressed as cis women), and the general antimasculinity/hatred of men for the crime of being men.

radical feminism is BAD whether it is trans inclusive or not. at its core, it is exclusionary, racist, and very deeply flawed.

hating all men is not okay. its still prejudice even if its not a marginalized group (because hating cis men is ALSO not okay). hating any group of people just because they are a part of that group is not okay. (obvious exception for like. bigots)

stop trying to "reclaim" radical feminism. you cannot reclaim something that is innately flawed and bigoted the way that radical feminism is. a lotta yall seem to think that radical feminism is only bad bc of the bioessentialism and that is. so far from the truth its insane

again i have no good way to end this but im just gonna send it off into the wilds of tumblr

claiming being queer is a white thing is, in itself, a very white way of thinking. One has to ignore the existence of cultures other than their own (typically western), something that white Americans and Brits especially excel at

i don't know why it's so hard for people to accept that there are queer people in every civilization on every landmass in every city, town, and so on, that has people living on it. it's not a "white" or "trendy" or "misunderstood" or "rebellious" state of being- i've heard so many queerphobic people claim that only white people are queer. you would not believe how common this is. it gets worse in that most people assume that queer folks are rich white folks, due to the stereotype of the rich San Fransisco white gay.

it's not just for people who live in "trendy" cities. we're not people who are "following a fad". when i was growing up, especially as a teen, people were calling bisexuality a fad. people were saying "oh everyone's trying it out right now but they'll go back to straight once they're bored." like what the fuck kind of mentality is that? where does this come from? there were more people stating they were bisexual because other bisexuals were coming out at that time and made it a lot easier.

there are queers who live in rural areas. there are queers who live in the american deep south. there are queers in every country, every continent where humans live. it's not just tied to white culture- every culture has its own expression of gender, sexuality, and presentation. queerness in asia is going to look much different than queerness in white america- even queerness between different groups of people of color living in the US will vary greatly.
