! thread i've resources i've used to combat the 'you're lesophobic!' myth that's going around social media !
we'll start with some easier to digest ones: this is a tumblr post (with sources) about butch/femme/dyke/lesbian history https://sapphic-sex-ed.tumblr.com/post/165740376237/for-anyone-who-says-butch-and-femme-are
a tumblr essay (with sources) on the butch/femme being lesbian only myth https://femmebis.tumblr.com/post/188686953900/the-lesbian-only-term-myth-a-comprehensive
this is a research project that's a bit more academic in nature, but the language in it is still pretty easy to digest, just a bit longer to read. it focuses on 'femme' but has 'butch' history included as well https://depaul.digication.com/davis-hon-100/home
this is a dropbox folder of sources on bisexual, trans, and sex worker history. this has a wide range of academic and historical sources, varying in readability. peruse at your leisure/ability. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r0uc3c0vmnx5hm2/AACAf-rXqwSDgImBy7OMph3aa?dl=0
this book is called 'bisexuality and the challenge to lesbian politics.' it's mainly a study and as such is more advanced/academic in nature. if you're interested, it's DEFINITELY a great read, but i can understand if it's too much https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt9qg5tm?refreqid=excelsior%3A343c7c32c17593bd0bbedfc0e0556507
this is simply a passage from a book i enjoy called 'persistence: all ways butch and femme.' this particular part is by a trans butch named amy fox
this is a an old interview with leslie feinberg and kate bornstein. the audio is trash, i will say, but if you're able to listen to it, it's QUITE good and ze mentions bisexual butches! and bonus talk of neopronouns in the 90's!
and speaking of leslie feinberg, if you can handle the heavy content (rape, violence, assault, police brutality)
lots of these have further reading resources, other sources linked, etc, so i suppose i'll end this thread simply with this database of books focusing on bisexuality, or that even mention bisexuality. all genres you can think of if you're interested. https://www.librarything.com/profile/The_Bi-bliography
adding one more thing to this thread that quite frankly i think sums it up. https://twitter.com/BellaRizinti/status/1228262074234568704?s=20
