Apparently, this is a holiday centered in Australia and New Zealand.
I’m always skeptical that these sorts of things are TERF Trojan Horses. It is admittedly weird for a lesbian blog to be skeptical of lesbians. But that’s the world we live in today.
I won’t relinquish my identity to anyone, but I’m not arrogant enough to expect a pass as a “good” lesbian (aka not a TERF) in an environment where the Harry Potter stars are feuding over trans lives mattering.
I’m proud and happy to be a lesbian because that’s my authentic identity. Being a lesbian is something to be proud of, but it also comes with a layer of responsibility and accountability as does any degree of privilege.
Tonight, I’m going to celebrate by smooching my lesbian love and watching Rachel Maddow! Huzzah!
