! thread i& #39;ve resources i& #39;ve used to combat the & #39;you& #39;re lesophobic!& #39; myth that& #39;s going around social media !
we& #39;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">https://sapphic-sex-ed.tumblr.com/post/1657...
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">https://femmebis.tumblr.com/post/1886...
this is a research project that& #39;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 & #39;femme& #39; but has & #39;butch& #39; history included as well https://depaul.digication.com/davis-hon-100/home">https://depaul.digication.com/davis-hon...
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">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r0uc3c...
this book is called & #39;bisexuality and the challenge to lesbian politics.& #39; it& #39;s mainly a study and as such is more advanced/academic in nature. if you& #39;re interested, it& #39;s DEFINITELY a great read, but i can understand if it& #39;s too much https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt9qg5tm?refreqid=excelsior%3A343c7c32c17593bd0bbedfc0e0556507">https://www.jstor.org/stable/j....
this is simply a passage from a book i enjoy called & #39;persistence: all ways butch and femme.& #39; 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& #39;re able to listen to it, it& #39;s QUITE good and ze mentions bisexual butches! and bonus talk of neopronouns in the 90& #39;s! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Aqmaq_a2U">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
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& #39;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& #39;re interested. https://www.librarything.com/profile/The_Bi-bliography">https://www.librarything.com/profile/T...
adding one more thing to this thread that quite frankly i think sums it up. https://twitter.com/BellaRizinti/status/1228262074234568704?s=20">https://twitter.com/BellaRizi...
