Poc Lesbian - Tumblr Posts
ppl are so nasty about stud4stud, butch4butch, etc. it tends to come from our own community the most sometimes and it's very strange. at the end of the day both are WOMEN whether they're both masculine presenting or not.
like I'm genuinely so fucking tired of white lgbts
I love being a lesbian! I love the community that lesbians of colour have built!
but it's a damn shame that we had to build our own distinct community because of how white lesbians treat us
white lesbians have like four different ways that they treat us: fetishization, disgust, erasure, and false allyship. and they're all equally bad and hurtful
constantly telling studs that you want them to beat you up. talking about lesbians of colour like we're sex objects. defending so-called "raceplay". do you really think you're better than the white men who tell woc that they're really into asian girls or latinas? it's fetishization!
and the disgust. disrespecting our cultures, our skintones. talking about your "preference" for other white girls. talking shit about black lesbians' hair.
or you try to erase us. you only acknowledge white lesbians. your wlw positivity blog is only white girls. you talk about iconic lesbians and only mention white ones. you imply or outright say that cultures of colour (especially in the global south) are inherently homophobic, like lesbians of colour don't even exist.
and the one that leaves the worst taste in my mouth? the false allyship. claiming to support us until it comes time to actually do something about it. letting people get away with racism because they're lgbt+. getting mad at us for calling out racism in the community. telling us it's okay to talk about racism, but we have to be nicer about it, that we're too judgemental or confrontational
and no matter which of these forms of white supremacy a white lesbian practices, they will always always hide behind being lgbt+ to get away with it. white lesbians will form a united front to defend each other from accountability for racism
it's no fucking wonder we've built our own communities away from you.
Real, real and real
