i keep thinking about @femmmeow’s tweets earlier about lesbians constantly going on about comphet and i have a rant about my own experience w that on tumblr the last several years
so before i got back on tumblr and into the sapphic community in general i never once doubted my bisexuality. never. thought i was asexual for a brief time, but never ever even doubted being open to at least dating multiple genders INCLUDING MEN
but then once i got back on the rancid biphobic radfem infested hellscape that is tumblr these days...huge rants about comphet were everywhere and you couldn’t even make a simple joke about men being trash or something as a bi wlw without-
-a lesbian coming into your ask box/reblogging your post like ‘HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED YOURE A LESBIAN SUFFERING COMPHET?’ i know most of this is done out of concern, but it’s genuinely so annoying and it really fucked with my head
god forbid you ever talk about preferring women as a bi+ wlw they will SWARM you if you so much as breathe about the fact that you only like men a bit with ‘UMMM MAYBE YOU DONT LIKE THEM AT ALL AND ARE A LESBIAN?’ maybe you should leave me ALONE
like if you’re a woman who is at all even vaguely attracted to men on that website those lesbians WILL do their DAMNDEST to make sure you know that YOU MIGHT NOT!!! YOU MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY!!!!
and i get that a lot of lesbians do suffer for years and years from coercive heteronormativity and believe me i did too. i used to think i preferred men to women, but like...they’re really overdoing it on that site and it fucked with me so bad
it still fucks with me and just the biphobia on that site in general just got into my head SO bad and i really do wonder sometimes if i’ll ever truly recover from it or i’ll spend forever now feeling bad about being in the community whilst knowing i like men lmfao
