Blogging

Lesbians are people, not porn searches. Maybe instead of just flagging us up as nsfw, you should try to deal with the spates of porn blogs flooding the tag unfiltered, the porn blogs following minors and abuse survivors at random, the obvious spam blogs repeatedly asking people to fill in explicit surveys or sign up to questionable services. 

We’re not inherently nsfw. 

We’re not something dirty that needs to be hidden.

also, something else: since tumblr flagged the lesbian tag as nsfw there have been lots of posts along the lines of “lesbians aren’t nsfw, we aren’t sexual, we can hold hands and go on cute dates etc etc” which is obviously super important, but it’s also essential to point out that lesbians can be sexual, but that is not inherently a bad thing, it’s not inherently predatory, it’s not disgusting, it is not for male pleasure. it’s okay to want to have sex with girls. it’s okay to have sex with girls and enjoy it. it’s okay for lesbians to have a sex drive. you’re good, you’re valid, and you deserve better than to be seen as a porn category for men. our sex is for us. it’s for our pleasure. don’t ever forget that.
