i cant believe yall liberal kweers have to make us say that lesbians’ experiences arent the same as straight mens’

“Butches have masculine privilege” NO WE DON’T. WE’RE SUPER VULNERABLE TO PATRIARCHY. LIKE FEMME LESBIANS. LIKE…. W O M E N

“Butches are basically straight men” NO WERE NOT. THERES NOTHING MORE DIFFERENT THAN LESBIANS AND STRAIGHT MEN. N O T H I N G.

– we’re closer to gay men. we all experience homophobia.

– we’re closer to bi women. we’re women who love women.

– we’re closer to bi men. homophobia.

– we’re even closer to straight women. we experience misogyny.

– and, of course, as theyre BOTH LESBIANS femmes and butches are PRETTY SIMILAR.

i can’t belive i have to say this.

closet-keys:

Casual reminder that femmes are still harassed for their sexuality & gender performance and butches are still harassed for being women, and femmes & butches should never be excluded from either of these conversations under the assumption that any of us are immune from homophobia or misogyny
