gay men have have hundreds of men only bars, clubs and bathhouses but when a lesbian wants to host a women only event everyone assumes its for transphobic reasons and not because they want to meet other lesbians…?
idk why people think lesbians are the most respected sexuality bro straight people fetishize us nonstop and the queer community think we’re all evil biphobic terfs 🫩

Respectfully i dont think a lot of people act like that from within the lgbtq community. I know people say that but i think its a loud minority type situation. The main concern in this situation is whether or not trans people are permitted into the spaces of their gender. A trans woman doesnt want to go to a gay bar, she wants to be in the women only bar. The transphobe accusations are generally towards the “female only” type conversations

you’d be surprised, some girl on twitter was talking about how nice it was to be at this lesbian oil wrestling event without any men and even after explaining that is was trans and nb inclusive everyone was still accusing it of being a terf event 💀 and yes i know it’s my fault for being on twitter in the first place but i’ve heard similar things from queer people irl regarding lesbian only events

Its social media. All the people who think alike were on the same algorithm. Hence the loud minority and chronically online people

And the people irl are likely chronically online as well and also not that large of a number in the grand scheme of things. Theyre likely the same people in that comment section just with a face

I think the point OP is making is chronically online or not, lesbians are more often the target of this than gay men even though gay men host more of these events & hold more of these spaces
