It's so fucking good. I love this book I love this book I love this book. The way he describes Shesheshen's perception of her romantic feelings is so goddamn good. I will never forget about losing control of her leg bones.

Calling lesbians "illiterate" for criticizing an industry that consistently invisibilizes and diminishes our desire is bootlicking. The fact that it's always sapphic art has to bear the burden of portraying nuanced/literary (read: non-sexual) love between women is purity politics.

If you want really great ace rep and feel cheated by how underdeveloped Sayolara is on that front, I recommend this absolutely delightful lesbian monster x monster hunter (sort of) romance by John Wiswell. The romance between fmc (a monster that takes the shape of a human, which has similar trans

The problem with an ending like this is that it treats het and sapphic love as the same. Psychologically, this may be true, love is love. But socially these are very different: many lesbians will tell you how freeing it is to escape the confines of Heterosexual True Love and being able to find

In a time where lesbian art is under enormous pressure to be accommodating to the heterosexual view, shrinking it until it's invisible is just not interesting to me. We should be louder, and prouder, and refuse to go down without showing the complex and beautiful lives of sapphic love.

I encourage everyone to have the tenacity to make art that depicts love between women that is complex, nuanced, and explicitly romantic. It is important to challenge amatanormarivity, but lesbians and Sapphic people being asked to do that with our art while no one else is just lesbophobia.

Conversations about who gets to claim what queer identity and how often reproduces the frictions of nationalism & citizenship. It is a matter of safety for queer people in subcultures to be able to flag, trust, relate to one another, necessitating our own symbols, roles, literature. At the same time

I'm not a romance writer but romance as a genre has so much to teach you if you are a writer, I think far more than people ever give it credit for because its for women & because most popular writing advice online centers around overly mechanical schema from from Brandon Sanderson and guys like him.

You'll never ever see me tear down romance for having a HEA. It's a necessary part of the genre! You dont ask for detective stories with no mystery! Romance is engineered for its purpose like any other mass-market genre, and it's fine to criticize that, but singling it out reeks of misogyny!

got blocked for saying a ROMANCE requires a happy ending for the couple. i swear, other genres do not have to deal this nonsense. if you don't like happy endings, might i direct you towards grimdark? all the tears for years. i think that's the genre you're searching for.

accurately tagging your work if you are a trans woman who writes anything with a real bite to it will get most distributors to ban your work. Resisting fascism means resisting the urge to police your community members. It means resisting the transphobic AI algorithms. It means trusting your readers.

"Libidinal epistemicide" comes to mind, as the same obsession that drives many academics to desire the transfeminine subject are the same ones who overwrite her agency and right to participate in the project of knowledge-building. Disgust/desire are two sides of same desubjectification.

this also ends up being the primary defense of the heterosexual regime in liberal feminist art, because invariably these fmcs are either paired with virtuous men or love the men that hurt them anyway. and i just don't think either are interesting or what contemporaty artistic movements need.

Athena represents the concept of "metis" which isn't just wisdom, but cunning. It's Odysseus's central trait, as well. She is a trickster in the myths, a woman of disguises, subterfuge, cruel and violent pride. She's an unparalleled warrior, a craftswoman, a daughter with no mother. There is a rich

one reason liberals & leftists who otherwise claim to "sympathize with the oppressed" are being pretty quick to throw out trans people is because they don't think trans people, especially trans women, actually experience any oppression at all. they conceptualize transmasculine transition as
