ppl who think lesbian sex is nasty business, and treat your sex drive (the one you have whilst being a lesbian) as an abhorrency, are ppl you need to not only ignore but cast out of your life. you do not need to contain your sexuality out of respect for those who think you’re gross for like, wanting to have sex at all.
“I’m punished every single day for being as the great Hannah Gadsby says in Nanette, an incorrect woman. And I’m punished every single day for that, and so, for me, being butch is also about how I survive that in the world, how that makes me strong. And I think it’s really important to say, you know, lots of people think butch is synonymous with masculine. For me, it really isn’t, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we, all our lives, all revolve around masculinity. We live in a patriarchy. We have no choice, whether we like it or not, everything is about masculinity. And I refuse to accept that. I refuse to say that my identity is also about masculinity, it’s not. There are lots of different types of women in the world, and I want to fight for the right for there to be lots of different women in the world. You know, when lots of people say to me, ‘Why do you want to look like a man?’, I really want to ask them the question.. ‘Why is it so hard for you to see me as a woman?’”
