No Reblog Privileges For Now Because I Currently Am Having A Problem With The Very Man Hating Crowd Mentioned - Tumblr Posts

mourn for the loss of the days where queerness wasn't defined by rules. Remember that cis butches were the first group the radfems targeted, because in that fact there is the solid truth that masculinity is seen as a poison to more queer people than it should be. In our own community, people treat masculinity as a poison, an inherent danger, and we're pushed away for not being feminine women. In our own community, there are people adamant about erasing experiences they don't understand. 'Lesbians can't date men! they can't be men!' and yet, where's all the vitriol towards women being in the gay community? It definitely exists, but I have noticed a significant amount of pushback towards m-spec LESBIANS, not mspec GAYS (again, this is not to say that mspec gays don't get shit, because they do), and lesboys.

The simple fact is that the man hating virus is unfortunately very common in online lesbian discussions... I can only surmise it's due to the attempt to validate their own identities. They think the only way to not be attracted to men is to hate them and push out anyone who lives differently. Unfortunately though, they have one foot in the door to the radfem party without realizing it. They are doing their part to make the queer community hostile rather than an actual community. And that's very sad. I can only hope the hatred against those with 'contradictory' labels becomes just as frowned upon in queer spaces as more blatant TERFism one day, because infighting only weakens us. I can only hope these people will eventually see that.
