punk rock wlw playlist

I’m tired of seeing people make gay song recommendations where every single artist is a synthpop singer, so here’s a list of punk rock songs written by/about wlw for all your gay needs.

1. “I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone”, Sleater-Kinney 2. “So-Called Str8 Grrrl”, Gina Young 3. “Rebel Girl”, Bikini Kill 4. “The Galaxy is Gay”, The Butchies 5. “Rebecca”, Against Me! (the lead singer of this band is a trans woman, as well, and writes a lot of songs about her experiences with gender. You guys should all go check her band out) 6. “My Best Friend’s Hot”, the Dollyrots 7. “Queer for You”, The Degenerettes 8. “She’s so Lovely”, Sleater-Kinney 9. “Truck Drivin Girlfriend”, The Degenerettes 10. “Rockerchick”, Lipstick Homicide 11. “Straight”, Veruca Salt 12. “Ellen D”, The Butchies 13. “November”, Kera & the Lesbians (more folk punk-y than anything else but still a severely underrated song) 14. “What’s Expected of You”, Lipstick Homicide 15. “Two Coffins”, Against Me!

I don’t really know how to end this playlist so uh. im a big ol useless lesbian and I lov girls lmao

i know we joke, but there’s no such thing as a useless lesbian. we’re all good and some of us are just shyer/don’t know how to interact with girls due to most of us never having a model of how we should flirt with them. but that’s okay!! we’ll get there and grow and we’ll find a gf!!

@women just discovering your attraction to women. You aren’t faking it.You aren’t just asking for attention. It’s not you just trying to rebel against your parents. Your attraction is real and it will bring you happiness trust me. 

to all underage lesbians & bi/pan girls

do not join dating sites.

i know how hard it is to not know any other sapphic girls! i know how tempting it is to join a dating site just to meet other girls like you! but do not do it. these sites are for adults, and there are adults on these sites that will gladly take advantage of you. 

y’all I keep seein all the “2018 is the year of gettin a gf” posts etc, etc. and that’s all well and good but I just wanna say pls be safe and self aware in ur realationship. don’t rush into things, don’t fixate on a single relationship, don’t stay in a bad relationship just for the sake of having a gf. ily all pls stay safe

it’s important to foster the idea that it’s okay for a bi or lesbian woman to shift between identities while they are questioning or if they start questioning down the line.

i’ve known many lesbians and bi women who have stayed in their prior identity because they 1. feared backlash; 2. felt like they were “betraying” that identity’s community if they changed their identifier; and 3. felt like the strong activism they did while in that community would somehow mean less if they came to realize they were a sister-identity.

to all of those i have to say:

1. you will always have those who will love and support your journey. find people who nurture your self-growth, and cut out those who would hold you back or see you stay stagnant.

2. your journey betrays no one; who you are betrays no one. being true to yourself means that you are doing right by you and not betraying yourself, and that’s the only person who matters in this—you.

3. every word and action you speak or do matters. realizing a label no longer pertains to you doesn’t lessen the significance of the time you spent nurturing your identity within it. you did well with that community; you’ll do well in the new community; and you’ll do well in our shared community. you bring a unique and compassionate perspective that will help so many others.

so, be kind. speaking specifically as a lesbian: lesbians, support lesbians who come to find out they’re bi. be compassionate. be proud. be encouraging. they aren’t leaving us. they never left. they’re been with us this whole time. they’ve being true to themselves and their journey, and they will always be our sisters.

the words we use can empower and uplift us, but the community they’re built on is what sustains us, helps us grow, and helps us care for our own and our histories we share.

@ lesbians: you never have to give men a try, you dont have to “keep your options open”, you dont have to wait until youve been in a relationship with a woman to know you’re a lesbian, and you dont need to wait until you’re married to prove you’re really a lesbian
@ everyone else: stop demanding us to prove our identities to you, and stop trying to search for explanations or ways we could like men: we dont!

wlw love is so warm and comforting… nothing will ever be more wonderful than 2 girls who are deeply in love with each other, a girl getting butterflies around another girl, soft gay crushes, gay lust

it always makes my heart hurt seeing women struggle and agonize over whether they’re attracted to men or not. let me present you with the alternative: it isn’t important. what’s important is what makes you feel good and fulfilled. maybe that isn’t same gender attraction yet (because gods know internalized homophobia is a monster and a half) but if your struggle with being attracted to men or not is upsetting or harming you– here’s permission to let it go. it doesn’t have to matter. you are free. let it fall away from you like rain off a roof. nurture what nurtures you.
