    Younger person here. I don’t like the word lesbian. The only reason we don’t say “gay woman” is that a bunch of old farts didn’t think women could really be gay. It’s misogynistic. TERFs have been using the word to enact violence on trans women and as far as I’m concerned they can have it. Let it be a symbol of misogynistic transphobes. The discourse over bi lesbians is intolerable too, the generation Z lesbians on Shitter don’t know the history of the word and exclude bi women just to be assholes.
