lesbianaffirmations:

Yes, of course it is okay to be soft, gentle, quiet. But isn’t that what the world has always been telling us?

So here’s to the lesbians who are loud, unafraid, tough, masculine, who wear the word dyke like a badge they fought to have back, who are butch, here’s to the lesbians who don’t shave, who get confused for men, who have to endure people talking about “masculine privilege” as if what they’re really talking about isn’t actually a disadvantage, here’s to the lesbians who actually are angry & man-hating and are tired of being reduced to a stereotype, here’s to the lesbians who are unheard.

Keep fighting, keep living, keep loving.

You’re doing great.
