god, lesbians are so different from men it’s pretty insane that some people try to group us with them. the amount of lesbians i’ve seen genuinely terrified that they’re making another woman uncomfortable and doing everything in their power to make sure that woman feels safe EVEN IF the other woman feeling uncomfortable comes from lesophobia and isn’t valid at all is wild. like i think some of us who worry we’re “perpetuating the male gaze” or whatever forget that men literally NEVER think of these things, they never think, “oh am i making her uncomfortable? i’m afraid that i am” like. holy shit if a man ever said that i think i’d have a stroke from how surprised i would be
hey this post actually goes double for trans lesbians who have an even more harmful predatory stereotype against them, y’all are wonderful and not predatory thank you
