Fucking know-nothing cishets posting screenshots of the dictionary definition of lesbian as if I'm gonna immediately say "omg you're right! My years of queerness and learning about our long history of queerness from my elders was wrong the whole time! Thank you, pedant!"
Lesbian is a much bigger umbrella term than most people seem to realize.

I don't give two shits if you disagree, even if you're queer yourself!

Because you're factually wrong, sorry 🤷‍♀️
It's really simple:

- Dictionaries aren't run by queer people
- We don't necessarily divulge all of the complexities of queerness to non-queers because y'all constantly act Like That when we do
- Yeah some younger queers think queerness can fit into discrete boxes. They'll learn
Oh and by the way, in case this thread gets to corners of Twitter my threads don't always reach:

I'm a lesbian.

Yes, even by most strict definitions unless you're a transphobe (but even then I'm still gay).
This is a lesbian discovering the boundaries of her sexuality and its rich history, not an ignorant invader in your space.
It's just like, do y'all know how many he/him lesbians I know that are transfemmes? I'm dating one!

That's right. Try to wrap your head around that one. Try to put someone like that into your discreet boxes.

Queerness abhors scientific classification.
Seriously get better material
