Lesbians are not porn

Lesbians are not just nsfw content in a search engine

Lesbians are lesbians

Lesbians are hands held in coffee shops and bed sheets

Lesbians are violets left clumsily at doorsteps

Lesbians are movie nights, spilled popcorn, and loud laughs

Lesbians are fumbling first times and not-so-fumbling 10th times

Lesbians are so much more

Lesbians are human

Lesbians are not inherently nsfw

For you to categorize ‘lesbian’/’lesbians’ as a nsfw search term is a deliberate contribution to a system of oppression functioning under a global culture that consistently over-sexualizes us, invalidates us, demeans us, dehumanizes us, and erases us, on the grounds of our lack of attraction to men.

You are directly ignoring the fact that lesbians are human, and are perfectly and undeniably valid on our own, and you are actively contributing to the toxic idea that lesbians exist solely for the sexual fulfillment of porn consumers–most often men. You are completely disregarding the fact that we have our own communities, our own lives outside of the imaginary and completely skewed concept of porn that the world perceives. You are directly and actively dehumanizing us.

Remove the ‘nsfw’ label on the ‘lesbian’/’lesbians’ search term.
