I do believe Meg Starter said it best when she said, "Hi, gay!" 🤣🤣
That sums up what pride month has become and I too think it's perfectly okay to not attend if you don't feel like it. In that regard I stand with Hannah Gadsby and her crucially important question, "Where do the quiet gays go?"
another thing is "lesbian" or "sapphic" events aren't even for lesbians. idk if it was always like this (baby gay) but it seems like gay men have done a much better job gatekeeping (? for lack of a better word) their events & spaces, whereas lesbian equivalents are always filled with anyone who identifies as any flavour of 'queer'. and if course the ever-lurking dangerhaired XYs larping as lesbians. bleugh. absolutely right about Pride too, it's just a corporate mess
Oh wow I misunderstood what larping meant - I deleted my comment because I don’t want it to seem like I’m defending that. I was trying to make a point about gay vs lesbian spaces but in doing so I blew past that last line - my mistake xx

cheers for another banger column!
tf? how about you keep your terf garbage to yourself
Trans women are a part of lesbian spaces, as trans men are of gay ones. Your wish for better gatekeeping is sickening.
Not sure how else to read "XYs larping as lesbians" but as a bioessentialist denial of trans women's right to identify as women/lesbians.

What can be done with breakouts on skin that’s slow to heal? Glycolic peels might make things worse, on diabetic skin….
ELF has a salicylic primer.
