hello i just want to say that i understand the thought process behind “wlw cant fetishize women” and i understand where this comes from but also its still relevant to the conversation to talk about how white wlw sexualize woc. i saw a post claiming that bringing this up is derailing and that “ppl know what we mean” but i really dont think it is!
white wlw need to be aware of how they view woc. they need to be conscious of this sexualization. conscious of how they speak about our bodies. conscious of how they touch us. conscious of their expectations on our sexuality and wants and desires. white women have a long history of violence! yall contribute to our fetishization and abuse!! its relevant to the conversation and it may be uncomfortable to acknowledge but it needs to be said and heard.
a woman viewing another woman sexually is not inherently dehumanizing, but you still need to take into consideration the way race plays into it.

quick question what are the chances of xena and diana knowing one another?
This tweet came from a conversation about an artwork with Xena and Wonder Woman fighting. Lucy was asked if this was how she pictured them meeting and she said:
So, I’m not sure about the chances of them knowing each other, but they are lesbian lovers.
This is better than anything I envisioned
reblogging again purely for that gif
Remember that time Lucy Lawless wrote her first fanfic and it had girls kissing and maintext?
I wonder if I can get away with making this a fandom for Yuletide this year…
