Are dykes ever angry in not-so-nice, totally selfish ways? Face it--we burned up more energy being pissed at "pornography" than we did when the ERA went down in flames. If we weren't so sensitive and vulnerable, I'm sure we'd be ashamed of ourselves. What follows is an annotated list of the major groups inside and outside the lesbian community who have caused most dykes to rend their garments at one time or another. As with any typical lesbian meeting, consensus could not be reached on which group deserves the biggest ass-kicking: Straight Men: a.
Mom always liked you better. Whoever has the most toys wins, right? This is our competition--and look who got hit by the ugly stick! Marshmallow dick. Gay Men: a. Mom always liked you better, too. One more crack about "fish" and we're starting in on your bleeding piles. You are NOT amusing. You think you invented martyrdom?
Well, we had the patent first, girlfriend. Straight Women: a. Haven't found out you have a cunt yet. Think you're being heroic when you bust us in the bathroom. Don't even start on how "attractive" we'd be with just a little lipstick. After you thank us for every single thing feminism has ever achieved, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. We had no idea that we would be attacked by officials of GBT organisations as well as by most of the British press.
As lesbians we retain the right to say what we find sexually attractive, irrespective of gender identity, thank you very much. The fact that such a statement is now labelled hateful says much about the misogyny of those who condemned us.
Lesbians in are constantly vilified and excluded from the GBT community for stating their exclusive sexual preference. Interestingly, we are routinely told there is no research to support our stance by a GBT movement that is funded precisely to do this research and stand up for us, but is clearly too busy looking the other way or burying its head in the sand to care.
Shutting down these conversations and calling them bigotry is really unhelpful, and it shouldn't be beyond our ability to have hard conversations about some of these things.

The difference? Lesbians are aware of how uncomfortable that crap is and appreciate it more. It's just a phase. Nothing incites rage in me like the old it's-just-a-phase crap. When I was straight, no one told me it was just a phase. Like a lot of these other misconceptions, you wouldn't say it to a straight person, so don't say it to me. It's hurtful and offensive because tons of thought, anguish and emotion went in to figuring out my sexuality.
