African Lesbianism - Tumblr Posts
WAKE THAT TEA UP!!! corny asf like 😭
“culturally queer” , “growing up gay” stfu 😭😭🤫
it's really interesting to see how white queers don't include poc queers like me into their spaces/ "lesbian culture" and i will never be considered into these arguments as a non american queer because they think queerness is a american thing
but anyway
(whispers) forcing a non american queer to accept, acknowledge, or care about your shitty american queer history and use the same logic today reeks of xenophobia and so is refusing to acknowledge it being a only western thing
okay bitch we gotta have a talk. in this post i won't even say my view on said discourse so you can see how serious i am about respecting cultures and knowing when to stop. when it comes to lesbian identities and discourse about "male lesbians" its okay to just leave it at what happened in america with american lesbian history. seriously. AS A WHITE PERSON YOU SHOULD NOT BE POLICING LABELS LIKE WLW/NMLNM AND SAYING ITS ANTI BLACK WHEN ITS NOT. you don't actually care especially when multiple black people have said it is not fucking anti black to use that label! you just want to use a gotcha because the person didn't care about the western lesbian history your using to prove your point so u use anti blackness as a gotcha and thats weird as hell. AS A AMERICAN/NON AFRICAN YOU SHOULD NOT BE SPEAKING ON AFRICAN LESBIANISM AND TWISTING OUR CULTURE TO FIT YOUR ARGUMENT. we did not use man lesbian in the way you want us to. i have been surrounded by older african lesbian elders, african lesbians, and trans men. we have never had history of men being lesbians. some of our cultures dont have words like butch or femme. learn to speak on what you are. american, white etc. dont use anyone else's race or culture no matter how your intentions are. im pissed bc yall are weird
happily calling ur girlfriend daddy when she has the strap in you but being confused and mad at butches who are fine with being called boyfriend is crazy to me
