Help the family of an unemployed, seriously indebted, and multiply disabled lesbian of color from Chile! 🇨🇱

(New post to pin on my blog since lesbian visibility week has been over for months LMAO)

My dad was fired due to the pandemic on April and he’s always been our only source of income. He’s trying to start his own thing but it’ll take a while before he’ll get any money out of it. I’ve been trying to get a job for months but it hasn’t gone too well. My mom just can’t work, my sister is a full time college student (in a country where education is very expensive), and my brother just started job hunting.

All 5 of us are autistic, and all of us but my brother are chronically ill in very debilitating and expensive ways.

We have to get into more and more debt just to buy groceries, when we were already deep in debt for years before the pandemic.

Any help is appreciated, no matter how little or if it’s just boosting this post.

Or you can use my PayPal email: the.mirror.of.lenore@gmail.com

I’m afraid that due to being from Chile I can’t use platforms other than PayPal to receive money internationally.

I decided to try weed oil for pain management and to treat my insomnia, but I’m literally at zero in my bank account and also I haven’t paid my student loans this month. Our family is doing far worse than before, too. Any help is appreciated. Please boost if you can’t donate.

no offed fence but uhh as a nonbinary lesbian i dont think attraction to nonbinary people should be a factor in determining whether you’re bisexual or gay/lesbian bc like, a descriptor like “attracted to women and nonbinary people”, while technically multiple genders, is also something that can easily apply to lesbian identity and has for a long time because nonbinary is not a homogenous gender and is much more of a very loose and wide range of identities that can trend towards either side of the binary or exist entirely independently and most every nonbinary person has a different way they want to be interpreted in a relationship

straight people gave the word “lesbian” such a dirty connotation that half the time actual real-life lesbians can’t bear to say it out loud, and journalists are out there adamantly referring to lesbians as “queer,” and avoiding any mention of their actual identities under the guise of progressivism

As a gender nonconforming cis dyke, I’ve received a lot of weird hostility in bathrooms. Like, a lot. The mild but frequent stuff is when people see me, do a visible double take, and go check the sign again. The not entirely common, more aggressive stuff is when people verbally question why I’m there. More than once I’ve had someone call me “it” or confront me about my gender in public settings. I’ve had people try to tell me to leave.

But the only place I’ve had someone physically try to remove me from a bathroom was in London.

Some random middle aged woman thought that she had the right to put her hands on me simply because I don’t match her ideas of what femininity is, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this happened in a place where transphobia is running rampant. Of all the weird stuff that’s happened to me in pretty conservative parts of the US, they simply are not as emboldened here as they currently are in the UK; but don’t think for a moment that they don’t intend to get there.

Trans people are reason enough to fight these bigots. It’s a good enough reason. Trans people deserve respect, dignity, compassion, and protection. But if you think they’ll be satisfied with only pushing trans people back into the closet, you’re utterly deluded. They want absolute conformity, simple as that, and they’re increasing their push here too.

Any lesbian who aligns herself with transphobia is a traitor. Simple as that.

No offense but women should be allowed to talk about the horrible effects makeup had on their self esteem and how the beauty industry in general affects women in general without having to put ten thousand disclaimers coddling the feelings of women who like winged eyeliner

this june. if people try to pit lesbians and bi women against each other. kermit will not. hesitate.

lesbians & bi girls this pride & forever

you cant use or not use a word “as a slur” either its a slur or it isnt. insult =/= slur. you can reclaim a slur personally but you also have to be cognizant that not everyone does. if you tell someone theyre not allowed to id as q/eer as a form of reclamation i will kill you but if i say “dont call me q/eer” and you reply “oh but i wasnt using it as a slur!” you will meet a similar fate

“i reclaim the word q/eer and use it to describe myself even though its a slur because it empowers me/is the best label for my identity/etc and i would like this to be respected”: cool i love you

“i’m going to refer to the entire lgbt community as q/eer because its no longer a slur/was never a slur/has been reclaimed by everyone/etc”: die one thousand deaths

there is no difference between "REBLOG these ANIME BOYS KISSING to prove you're NOT HOMOPHOBIC" posts from 2011 and "reblog to make a terf mad!" posts from 2021

do not call yourself lesbian if you’re not one. i hate that this is a conversation we need to have now because obviously if you’re not lesbian you’re… not one. but the amount of straight girls and bi women that call themselves lesbian meaning “they hate men” is huge and this is really lesbophobic, plus you’re erasing your own sexuality. do not tell men you’re a “dyke” if you’re not lesbian just because you want to jokingly tell them to “stay away,” plus being lesbians never stopped men from hitting on us to the point of harassment and that actually makes them want to do it even more. do not say you tell your boyfriend you’re a lesbian just because you find women beautiful. do not call yourself any lesbian term if you’re not one because all of them still mean… lesbian.

just stop, this is incredibly disrespectful to lesbians. being lesbian has a meaning and calling ourselves one is such a hard task for so many of us because this word is seen as something bad and ugly in society’s eyes. so many lesbians struggle so much because everyone wants to force us to like men, it takes so much strength for us to proudly say we reject them in our love lives and then people that aren’t lesbians just decided to go around saying these things using our sexuality. don’t do that, please.
