the left flag was literally stolen from lesbians. it was just recolored and then used as the mlm flag. dont use it because its simply lesbian erasure. the one on the right is the new mlm flag from my knowledge.

15. old lesbian flag
the flag on the left was created by a transphobe and excludes trans lesbians. the one on the right is the new one, it‘s called "sunset lesbian flag" and is the correct one to use.

do not erase lesbian characters, we already get such a small bit of representation in the media. don‘t ship lesbian characters with male characters since its straight up invalidating.

17. calling men lesbian protectors
lesbians don‘t need men to "protect" them. AGAIN you‘re reducing us to men only. we don‘t want or need to be connected to men so stop it.

18. thinking bi/pan lesbians are valid
lesbian is not an umbrella term and you can‘t call yourself a bisexual lesbian or a pansexual lesbian just because you might have a preference for women. the correct umbrella terms are sapphic and wlw/nblw.

private parts just because we are attracted to women since that is sexual assault. you have to ask for consent, that counts for lesbians too (recently i‘ve been seeing a lot of lesbians share such stories on tiktok and i am disgusted by it).
20. invalidating lesbians
