i hope all lesbians with complex identities are having a good day today! youre not any less of a lesbian and certainly not a bad person because your identity is outside of the norm. youre wonderfully unique and deserving of love!
On Twitter the Mspec Lesbian community and supporters have created Mspec Lesbian Visibility and Awareness Day and Week.

Mspec Lesbian Visibility & Awareness Week is May 22nd - May 28th.
The date for Mspec Lesbian Visibility & Awareness Day is May 26th.
Reblog and spread the word!
Update: Mspec Lesbian Visibility & Awareness Day and Week have been added to Pronouns.Page’s Queer Calendar.
it makes me so happy when i see other mspec lesbians around… just going about my day and randomly stumbling on another mspec lesbian when i wasnt even searching for queer stuff. its just so like !!!!!! oh!! hello!!! same hat!!!!!
there’s no one right way to be a lesbian. you can be nonbinary and a lesbian. you can be multisexual and a lesbian. you can be ace or aro and a lesbian. you can be all three at once. you can be a male lesbian. you don’t even have to be a woman. if you feel that the lesbian label is what best describes you, then you go for it. we couldn’t be happier to have you.
i love all yall other mspec lesbians and supporters, seriously. having to deal with exclusionists and their hate for years now can be so frustrating, but seeing more and more people identifying as or supporting mspec lesbians is so lovely to see. and when yall send me messages thanking me for running my blog, it makes standing my ground against hateful people SO worth it. i may enjoy to run on spite against people who hate me, but when i know what im doing is genuinely helping others like me too, it feels so nice ♡♡♡ spite energy can be good, but love energy is even better!
tbh it’s really sad how most people who are questioning their gender/sexuality will say stuff like “well i feel like this label fits me and it describes my experiences really well and i feel happy using this label BUT i don’t 100% fit the definition so am i allowed to call myself that??”
like yes!! yes yes YES you are ABSOLUTELY allowed to call yourself that!! it’s OKAY if you don’t fit the rigid definition of a label, if it fits you and it makes you happy, you are totally allowed to use it!!
or people will be like “well i feel like BOTH these labels fit me am i allowed to use both?? do i have to pick just one i don’t want to they both fit me so well” you can use both!! even if a label is “contradictory” or whatever if it makes you happy you can use it!! you don’t have to fit the rigid definition, it’s okay!! do what makes you happy!!
at the end of the day it all boils down to what makes you happy!! if you feel like an identity fits you, you can use that label even if you don’t 100% fit the definition or you have another label that might “contradict” it!!
be happy!! live your life use whatever labels you want it’s okay!! laugh and live and smile and breathe go outside and look at the sky and feel the wind rush past you and smile and it’s all going to be okay. do what makes you happy!! i love you <3
Lmao mspec lesbians are awesome actually, and I, as a fellow bi, welcome my bi lesbian siblings with open arms. ♥️
Being a lesbian doesn’t negate your bi label(or Vice versa of course), and it’s not negatively affecting me one bit to accept you unconditionally! It’s actually pretty easy and also costs $0.00.
how do exclusionists even themselves use the “bi means attraction to 2 or more genders” definition and not see how that overlaps with their definition of “lesbian is non-men attraction to non-men.”
like the “non-men” definition has its issues with not considering multigender people and other complex gender identities- but even aside that, either you see nonbinary genders as their own many range of genders or you dont, you cant pick and choose when to consider them as multiple genders. liking women and some enbies would be 2+ genders. its mspec. lesbian in this way is mspec, whether you explicitly identify as mspec or not.
reminder that gender cant be tidied up into some distinctive “men” and “non-men” binary. you are not truly accepting genderqueer people when you use this sort of categorical framing. bigender people exist. genderfluid people exist. nonbinary people who dont even Know if they fall under “man” or “non-man” exists. and various other sorts of gender identities. by defining lesbian as exclusively “non-men” you are ostracizing so many genderqueer people.
[Image Description: the meme of two arms embraced at the hand. White all caps text edited on the left arm reading “pan people”, on the locked hands reading “having a historic place in the community and being valid as fuck”, and on the right arm reading “mspec lesbians and gays”. End Description.]
some solidarity and love between pan people and mspec lesbians and gays is needed, because we’re both very hated and debated.
we are here. we have been here. we will always be here. loud, ignorant voices will not erase our history or place in the community.
much love to mspec lesbians and gays from this pansexual
Happy Mspec Lesbian Visibility and Awareness Week everyone! Here is an mspec lesbian pride flag I made a while ago but haven’t uploaded publicly until now.
This flag is for anyone who identifies with the term “mspec lesbian” or it’s more specific labels (ie. bi lesbian, pan lesbian, omni lesbian, ply lesbian, neptunic lesbian, etc). This flag is inclusive to all of those who feel it fits them. <3
