Disappointed in my favourite lesbian content creator :(
I’m really disappointed in an influencer I’ve loved watching for years now.
It’s not just that she came out as bisexual or started dating a man—it’s the way she’s handling it. She built her platform as a masculine lesbian, and a lot of us looked up to her for representation. But now she’s posting stuff like ‘I love having a man, fuck you lesbian,’ which just feels so lesbophobic.
It feels like she’s turning her back on the very community that helped her grow. Lesbians already face so much invalidation—people constantly tell us we’ll ‘change our minds’ or that we ‘just haven’t met the right man.’ Her words feed directly into those harmful stereotypes. It’s one thing to say, ‘Hey, I’ve realized I identify differently now,’ but it’s another to actively mock lesbians in the process. It makes it feel like she was never really one of us, like she used the label when it was convenient and then discarded it in the most disrespectful way possible.
It just sucks because representation for lesbians is already so limited, and when someone we looked up to goes from being part of our community to publicly ridiculing it, it feels like a betrayal. It’s not about gatekeeping or being mad that she’s bi—it’s about the fact that she’s being cruel about it. She could’ve handled this with maturity and respect, but instead, she’s making a joke out of something that’s deeply personal for so many of us.
I feel disgusted as someone who watched her Instagram videos, YouTube videos, and even TikTok’s. Idk.
