Reblogs of a vegan hippie dyke dork Lesbian Overlord. Includes books, lesbians, Tara Maclay/the Whedonverse, Xena, Sailor Moon, and general feminist/queer posts. Full disclosure: I am cisgender and white.
I run the book blog The Lesbrary, which has les/bi/etc book reviews and news, plus tons of links for finding les/bi/etc books to read.
I also run Fuck Yeah Lesbian Literature, Fuck Yeah Koyczan, and Vegan Recipes for Later.

my life goal is to watch everything ever that has lesbians in it.
Obviously WoL is relevant to lesbians and can be read as lesbian, I was just saying that how do you define being exclusively lesbian when terms have changed over time? “De-lesbian” WoL? Seriously? Because I mentioned the term she actually uses throughout the book? And again, that is not what invert meant. The definition was more to do with gender, even though is practice it was used against people we would now call gay. And most of e time I do talk about WoL as lesbian, but it’s a example that sexuality is not simply lesbian or not.“The Well of Loneliness is about an “invert”, not a lesbian.”
I’m sorry but you can’t de-lesbian one of the most well-known works of lesbian fiction just because the term of the day was “invert”
If “they” is referring to me, then no…? Why would I have a problem with that? My life is pretty much consumed by lesbian books, so, I don’t really have a problem with them… I just personally also think there are books that are relevant to lesbians that aren’t strictly lesbian.I wonder if they’ll direct a shitstorm at me once I say that it’s lesbian-exclusive
not that I care
Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.

Why are you pushing that feminist soapbox toward me? Why are you lifting it up and forcing me to stand on top of it? I don’t need to yell about how annoying it is for the central female character to be defined in the title of the story by the primary male figure in her life! I would much rather rant about how I hate how derivative and overused this type of title is! Get me my “I hate all things derivative” soapbox!
Also, this kind of title feels like book club bait. Probably because it IS book club bait. But still. Turn down the volume on the obvious, dudes.
