Everyone please pre-order Benjanun says after 100 pre-orders I can come out of the yuri mines

Cover reveal! Elysium’s destruction looms; its greatest pilot Persephone is being eaten from within. She stands to become either a god—or a monster. Our mecha Greek myth retelling continues. More cannibalism, more lesbianism!

Itch: mariaying.itch.io/the-persepho...
Amz: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGXHSNHN

A woman with long white hair covers one eye with her gloved hand; her other eye is glowing and red with a crosshair-shaped pupil; streaks of blood run down her face. She wears a black pilot’s suit with gold accents against a yellow and black background.

Book title: The Persephone Effect.

I think most discourse about X identity in Y spaces is usually had by Z people in no spaces

isaac 🍂 @androgynyfiend.bsky.social · 1d

me reading discourse about trans men in lesbian spaces and nodding respectfully before suddenly realizing I'M the trans man in lesbian spaces but I just don't think of it like that bc it's just like. "hanging out with friends" to me

if i want to play board games with a bunch of lesbians i’d also just go there, there‘s no lesbian police inside asking me for my credentials in lesbianism

Alice In Wunderland @aliceinwunderl3.bsky.social · 14d

Can lesbians and bisexuals be friends? Sure, go to the lesbian board game night and don't freak out about it being called the lesbian board game night. It's that simple. The bisexuals who like hanging around with lesbians are already in there. As often as not, the label is a vibe marker.

weirdo sexologists would rather invent elaborate lore on the corrupting influence of crossdressing than apply "sometimes topics of deep shame are sexualized as a coping mechanism" to trans women in line with how it works for everyone else

A guy mistreats his sister, so he casually:
- Befriends the guy
- Learns everything about him
- Slowly poisons him over weeks
- Ferries him out to sea to be eaten by nereids
- Hooks the sister up with the butch she has a crush on
- Also gets that butch a promotion for good measure

What a legend

Everything I hear about Adrastus genuinely makes me like him more. born to just be a nice normal guy, forced to have toxic relationships with his entire family because his mum girlbossed too hard

My favorie thing about TLT's magic system is that we learn about it first from the persepective of someone who

1) can't do the magic
2) hates the magic

and when you finally do have a character narrating who knows how to do the magic she is very mentally about girls and won't explain shit

Aphrodite @desire.gunmetolymp.us · 3d

The Locked Tomb has one of my favorite magic systems of all time and like 80% of it comes down to two things:

1. Necromancy is the only magic

2. The spells are called "theorems."

Misogyny is at the heart of basically everything everyone does ever.

Alice In Wunderland @aliceinwunderl3.bsky.social · 5d

If you are paying attention, you'll notice that trans women, even trans lesbians, are far more likely to fail to unlearn the lesbophobia everyone is raised with than they are the homophobia everyone is raised with.

yeah its wild how much 'bi-erasure' has been repurposed as a way to call lesbians The Real Bigots without getting called on being lesbophobic. like i'm not sure ive ever seen a man accused of bi-erasure. it's always lesbians, and that goes for outside fandom spaces as well.

Asserting that a woman is by default sexually available to men and it's "exclusionary", "biphobic", or even "TERFy" to say that she's a lesbian is common in discussions of queer media.

Fae’rynn (Phantom Futch) @faerynnistired.itch.io · 5d

sexuality discourse in fandom is hardly pressing but the whole thing is really fucking difficult as a lesbian (especially when you consider that artists and writers have been harassed and doxxed for “getting it wrong”) who likes art and media.

Lesbian is the “bi-erasure” sexuality to fandomites
