Also, Aren't These The Same Bitches Who Created The Symbols Of The Labrys Flag?

Also, aren't these the same bitches who created the symbols of the labrys flag?

This week I had a lovely conversation with an older dyke who reminded me how much a lot of people have always hated TERFs and SWERFs. 

She was talking about the time in the 1970s and 1980s when she was a young radical dyke and how many of the awesome dykes in the radical scene were trans women. So I asked her if there was ever any problem with TERFs and SWERFs. She didn’t know those words so I described them. Her reply was (paraphrasing a longer conversation):

“Oh, you mean the political lesbians? That’s what we called them at the time, no one really considered them radical. They hated everyone. They hated bisexual women who dated men. They hated us leather dykes and kinky dykes because they thought we were ‘copying the patriarchy’, they hated trans women. None of us in the radical scene liked them. A lot of them later left and admitted that they were straight but were presured to identify as lesbians in that group because being a feminist to them meant cutting all ties with men. They were like a cult. They often lived together and if you didn’t walk the political line you were dead to them. Intense stuff. ”

And like, I know her memories don’t have global relevance and there have also been places where TERFs had a much more prominent impact on the local radical women’s community, but still, to hear how despised these TERFs have always been by these truly radical dykes cheered me up a lot.

....... This Looked Sm Better In Lineart Only.

See? See? Goddamnit, I really need to learn how to color and shade my art.

(Context: I tried to merge Michael Jackson with Pinkie Pie and it turned out like this shit y'all are seeing right now. Inspiration: An AI Michael Jackson cover of Smile Song, from My Little Pony.)

.bullying

Today, I saw a “bring bullying back” post.

This white cishet guy was talking about the “cringe weird kids”.

The kids who didn't do nothing but acting like themselves.

And I was going to ask “when did being a cunt became cool?”.

But then I realized. When, in the history of humanity, was being nice the normal?

No, Jennifer, being a right wing conservative “respectful” lesbian won't make you less immune to bigots. Once they are done with the “loud non respectful lesbians” they'll immediately go after you.

Friendly reminder that proshipping doesn't count on this, there is a huge difference between enjoying fiction and normalizing abusive shit with the fiction excuse.

I hope kids outgrow their obsession with “moral purity” so they can embrace and enjoy fiction as adults without restrictions. Indulging in fantasy should be a fun, relaxing outlet instead of a source of stress, constantly worrying about your taste in characters and ships being a “reflection” of your morals when it isn’t. 

Fictional characters aren’t real people, and no one is being harmed by what you do with them. Quit worrying about being “god-honoring,” and have fun your way.
