For those of you still around, thank you. For those new, also thank you. I have been absent from tumblr for years due to time constraints and personal issues. Recently, I’ve felt the need to re-start my blog because life has sent me some curve-balls and thought I might have something to offer. The new direction of this blog will be geared toward my MA degree in women’s and gender studies as well as the issues that come along with adoption and being an adopted child.
I was going to write a post about how it was bad, lazy writing that hit every Dead Lesbian trope out there, and was completely inconsistent with every portrayal of physical injury in the show, but–
One look in the Clexa tag and it’s literally heartbreaking to see how lesbian and bi women are taking this. This is something that straight people will never, ever understand, and the worst part is that we’re mad at ourselves for trusting these people. Finally, everyone though, we’re being respected (hah-fucking-hah), here’s a story about us; only to be brutally reminded that if you so much as act on your feelings, if you allow yourself one moment of happiness with another woman, you’re fucking dead.
At this point, I don’t really care if there’s some Twist in the City of Light that makes this all “okay.” Fact of the matter is, at best, a bunch of straight people are using a lifetime of trauma against us and calling it entertainment, pretending it’s progressive and for us, then acting like this decision came out of the fucking void.
as a straight woman…please don’t lump me in with these savage sadistic sociopaths…i’m devastated by this *clexa forever
There are young (and not so young) wlw out there who quite literally want to die after dealing with a lifetime of straight people ensuring that we know that we are inherently wrong for wanting happiness for ourselves, and that acting on our feelings will earn us death and abuse. Yet you’re coming here, acting as though this mindset is perpetrated by “Savage sadistic sociopaths” rather than the heterosexual majority, as they always have, as they always will, with their indifference and their baiting, wanting some pardon for yourself.
People want to kill themselves after years and decades of this propaganda, and you’re acting hurt because we’re talking about it and holding the accountable accountable. I wish I could find something more eloquent than “fuck off” to say to this, but: this is about wlw, our feelings, us, please never respond to a post like this again.
