Febfems. Bi women who only date women by choice do have that word & no one would bat an eyelid. The problem isn't bi women, it's inferring being a lesbian is a choice.
And then there are bi women who are genuinely just more drawn to women.

it's really... not. if anything bi lesbians r more related to "political lesbians" (the modern equivalent would be something like febfems ? i guess lol).

possibly The spiciest take of today from me: generalising bi women is weird as hell and demanding that the only type of ""good"" bi women are febfems is 😐

ok i don’t wanna start more drama but i’ve been wondering abt the similarities of political lesbians & febfems: *are* they even similar, if not the same? were political lesbians bi women who claimed the lesbian label bc despite attraction they’re not practically oriented to men?

And I feel like when lesbians like specifically go out of our way to praise febfems it's just really.. cringey :/ feels gross

And there are febfems (female exclusive bisexuals) just bi terves or are pretty much political lesbians but modern

everyone thinks febfems are female exclusive for any reason except that they just don't want to date men. it's not to wiggle my way into lesbian spaces, it's not to distance myself from "normal bis", it's not because i'm on a "dick diet", i just,,, don't want to date men.

I do think it’s interesting that a lot of anti separatist womyn say we are “forcing” nonlesbians/non febfems to pretend they are either so they can “fit in”… and are mad at lesbians for them lying.

Where are you getting that people dunking on this are political lesbians? The closest I've ever seen to anyone on Twitter identifying as a political lesbian are febfems (female exclusive bisexuals), but that's not really the same thing.

The only lesophobia I have experienced from the Women’s movement has been from the “political lesbians” (FEBFEMs).

Not gonna lie, as a febfem it grosses me out how many “bi” women perform their attraction to women in a way to appeal to the male gaze

Yes it does. I'm attracted to men and women but only date women. Febfems, I think they are called.

like yes there's a history of unity between the two communities but that doesn't mean every bi person supported or still support the trans community. febfems are often if not always trans exclusionary bi women
