Date: 2018-08-10 02:55 pm (UTC)I'm very willing to talk about homophobia, and have on this meme, and any of those conversations would have been fine on FFA too, except for trolls trying to derail it with nonsense like this, or telling my lesbian ass "you just hate lesbians!!! TERF just means lesbian!" I hate to invoke this wank directly, but I know exactly what you're alluding to, and I know it was worded just vaguely enough to give the "you're nuts and bringing up stuff I never meant!" out, but let's just drag this shit out into the daylight where everyone can see how ugly it is. I'm too old and been around the lesbian feminist block too many times to not know our wanks and discourse by heart. And it's never done our community a lick of good. At worst, it's been astroturfed by outsiders to sow dissent and divide and conquer us. If you can't take a breath and let other wlw do them while you do you, and instead have to take other people's lifestyles as some kind of narcissistic attack on yours, you are not "talking about homophobia," you are trying to police other people's identities and being a community-destroying, solidarity-busting asshole. That is not gay liberation, that is not consciousness raising, and you are not helping.
w4w has never been a place to "talk about homophobia" in any kind of useful sense, and FFAers wouldn't tell you to go back there for that, many of them would actually just commiserate. Homophobia gets frozen, as does all that other bullshit.
