Anonymous sent: wlw is definitely not a slur! anyone who paints it as such is just trying to rob wlw of terminology, which is already limited, and thus their voices, regardless of intent!

Well I was assuming it was LGBTQ women who saw it as a slur that was not appropriate to reclaim. I’m not sure how though. Thank you. Any other opinions/thoughts from anyone?

Nah anon, trans women have vry well pointed out the ways in which the term women loving women has been totally tied up in transmisogyny. And as a cis woman who does love women (all women) I have plenty of language I can use and I can always make more. And respecting trans women is WAY more important than the convenience of a three word phrase to define ourselves. And if you do respect trans women and truly do love all women why would you want to describe yourself with a term that even might be associated with transmisogyny?
