idk I think straight women should face more criticism for their homophobia. yes men are evil and violent towards lesbians but I also can'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'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't think I'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'm learning to process this trauma in therapy but it's been especially on my mind this lesbian visibility week. I'm gonna make a full post on Sunday about my thoughts on visibility but for now I'll just say that visibility sometimes equals more violence
It'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'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
