This is just a stream of consciousness, but I decided to post it anyway.
I finally came out as a lesbian 3 or 4 years ago. As a "baby gay" I had a naive and rosy image of the LGBT community (at least online one - a real life community is not a thing in my country). Obviously, I was in for a pretty harsh reality check soon.
I was shocked by the amount of lesbophobia in the trans and bi communities, and even in our own spaces. It made me feel really bad for a while. Luckily, I found some supportive lesbian friends (online) and a couple of safe spaces like this subreddit.
Anyway, soon enough I realized that lesbians are the bad guys in the community. We need to be completely inclusive and have no boundaries - only then we will be accepted (probably). Most of us definitely do not oppress or disrespect anyone, but it will never be enough.
I have a feeling that it's time for us to become "bad" lesbians. Not wanting to date or have sex with certain people is phobic and exclusive? Well, I can live with that. Calling out a so-called lesbian for using our label while obviously being into men is gatekeeping? Too bad, but it's not my problem.
We better stop trying to be good for others and learn to be good for ourselves. I know it's easier said than done - we're just a small, marginalized group with virtually no one on our side but us. But this is just another reason to start caring about ourselves first, rather than about the opinion of the rest of that often lesbophobic community.
We need to become those evil lesbians if it means we can be who we are, for our own sake and especially for the sake of young lesbians, who can get seriously harmed by all this woke culture.
p.s. Sorry if something similar has already been posted here, and also for possible mistakes - I'm not a native speaker.
