the phrase “queer woman” does not signify anything
Bisexual women and lesbians are different.
and those who identify as “gay women” are lesbians who can’t say lesbian
the current decade emergence of pansexuality
along with an apparent reversal of describing the human spectrum
which begins with heterosexuals owing to being the largest portion of the human population in a sexually reproducing mammal species.
heterosexuality, being a monosexuality of attracted to opposite of own gender.
then the monosexual gay men and lesbians, attracted to own gender.
Bisexuals being both attracted, which remains relevant to the manner english language with latin origins words work
group identity formed from individuals sharing characteristics.
so, for the majority of the human population, self descriptions of gender and sexuality are from lived experience, including being one’s own expert and describing oneself in terms of who one is attracted to pair to orgy with
in a kink aware and informed consent about stds, genitals, sexual positions and scenes and safewords, which, when anyone is denied a no to a date, that is a dire warning of what to expect a no will mean.
lesbians are not biphobic as lesbians do not rape and murder bisexual women for being in the same room – and homophobic and transphobic are the words of defense that heterosexual men use to explain why they have raped and or murdered a gay or bisexual man who asked for a yes or a transwoman who the hetero male feels tricked them. and often assaults on those who fail to conform and have not been involved in a sexual situation, for which, informed consent is required for everyone’s saftey.
so telling lesbians that we do not get to say no to dating tranwomen is to tell lesbians to accept being raped, as without a no to a date, one does not have a no to sex – and this from a community that is supposed to be against violence to women, and understand basic and kink consent.
telling lesbians we are bad for not dating bisexual women is almost as bad
every person has a choice of who they date
and everyone dates for sexual reasons
which is determined by what genitals one finds sexually attractive
and no one should be shamed for not finding one or the other unattractive
sexual violence occurs primarily against women
and all violence is primarly done by men
no woman can self identify out of harm
and no woman should be shamed or named called for not wanting to date
but especially lesbians – other demographics who expect validation and allies, also have to be allies and respect lesbian boundaries
we helped hetero women get rights for women
we helped gay men with aids
transwomen are fetizishing lesbians and cotton ceiling is a confession of not being allies to lesbians and directing anger and contempt for lesbians having and asserting our human rights to our demographic and decades of commonly understood to the public the meaning of lesbian.

masculinity and feminity varies across cultures and the connection between bigorty on ethnicity and sexuality is toxic masculinity of seeing other men as lesser than, but the least man still more valuable than the best women.
of which, there is not one way to be either; which is why there is a range of persons
last century, the religious argument against gays and lesbians having marriage equality was partly the non-procreative sex and partly that claim that sexuality was a choice and gays and lesbians were merely rebelling for perverse reasons
while accepting science to having laws based on ethnicity around marriage and reduced rights owing to ethnicity being clearly inherited.
there has been science to show genetic markers for sexuality
and that we continue to exist despite being oppressed and genocided

oppression of demographics is the issue, not a more powerful or the majority getting to make jokes or continue to be able to use words or have laws that resulted in oppression
given how few people are in demographics that do not experience a lessor status
one would not think it was a difficult thing to not belittle, denigrate or co-opt others,
otherwise, we admit rights are meaningless and done wrong for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many – who sacrifice the few for own comfort, while individuals do so for the group or greater good.
oppression is a hierarchy , first gender, then ethnicity, then sexuality, then all other off whatever norm and averages are deemed.
there are more pedo priests than any other group. except maybe teacher and coaches and other adults who career in children and teens, heterosexual dad and step dads and older brothers , male family friends, these are the majority of molestors, of which , girls are the primary targets, then boys, certainly children and teens who do not hetero conform, but rarely adult women being molestors
and there only being male pedophile organizations, either direct such as NAMBLA or organized religion.
is not not a personal opinion that others be oppressed or genocided
any only those who agree and bystanders suggest so
being told you belong to be group that deserves death and that others think it is a valid opinion is social oppression and when the civil authorities carry out genocide or limit rights, is it oppression
oppressed groups respond with suicide rates, outsources oppression
or violent revolt – which even the British Suffragettes did
but western Gay men and Lesbians, used peaceful protest, the courts and having parents and hetero friends who supported us and social views and the laws changed to be inclusive
the wrong people bear the consequences of bigotry on too many levels
