@TotallynotJessica I'm sorry you're feeling uncomfortable, but I hope you understand that I have no control over your feelings.
@TotallynotJessica I appreciate the concern, but I think there’s a misunderstanding of what I'm doing. I've been posting historical lesbian figures from across the globe. Including someone like Colette isn't an endorsement of their choices; it’s a refusal to sanitize the history of how queer women navigated a world that often persecuted them. If we only record the 'perfect' lives, we’re not doing history—we’re doing PR. I’d hope the community can handle the complexity of our actual past.
