idk I think straight women should face more criticism for their homophobia. yes men are evil and violent towards lesbians but I also can& #39;t click my fingers and forget how disgusting I still feel after all the gaslighting straight women did to me when I was THIRTEEN

just remembered this time in chemistry when a straight girl told everyone I& #39;d touched her leg in class and she was So Insistent about it I genuinely questioned my own memory :)

girls in my class told me so many times I had a crush on them that I became convinced I did and I don& #39;t think I& #39;ll ever get over the fact that the first times I recognised sapphic feelings in myself it was due to violence

another time a girl hacked into my school email account and sent an explicit email to this out lesbian in the year above

I& #39;m learning to process this trauma in therapy but it& #39;s been especially on my mind this lesbian visibility week. I& #39;m gonna make a full post on Sunday about my thoughts on visibility but for now I& #39;ll just say that visibility sometimes equals more violence

It& #39;s also something that was forced on me as an act of violence itself. I was 13! I was Autistic & hormonal & full of feelings I didn& #39;t understand & because I cut my hair & hugged my best friend just a fraction too long this deeply complex emotional journey was taken from me
