(Also, I’m so happy you asked for Lucretia, she’s my absolute favourite).
[image description: a drawing of Lucretia, standing at an angle facing away from the viewer, and looking over her shoulder with a neutral expression. She’s a thin woman with dark skin and short white hair, wearing billowing blue robes. She’s holding onto a white wooden staff with a circular top with both hands. A bunch of pink flowers are near her back, blooming outwards away from her on long stems.]
I like the poster’s implication that the producers of Sesame Street did not put a counting vampiric count on a children’s educational series to teach kids how to count; this was just an incidental side effect of their fidelity to obscure vampire folklore.
being gay or lesbian isn’t incompatible with being trans. gay trans men and lesbian trans women have always existed and will continue to exist and that’s not something that u can erase.
i know people have made posts before talking about how bisexual women are not inherently available to men, but i want to make it even more clear, since those posts always have sentences like “a lot of bi women choose to only be with women for a multitude of reasons” in them, which is absolutely true and there’s nothing wrong with pointing that out, but get this: bi women who have a preference for men are still not inherently “available” to men. bi women who tend to date men more than women are still not available to men. bi women who like to hook up with guys are still not available to men. no woman is inherently available to men. we are in control our own boundaries. we are in control of our own bodies.
the word “available” means: “able to be used or obtained; at someone’s disposal” and it’s very telling why people have chosen this word in particular to describe bisexual women and how we are “connected” to men. if you still fail to see how dehumanizing and offensive it is to refer to ANY bisexual woman as available to men, no matter what their dating or sex life looks like, you are absolutely utter garbage
