Why the #Lack of #Sapphic #Representation in #Film & #TV Needs to #Change
Unfortunately, #TheLWord is one of very few #examples that allow for #sapphic #relationships to take #centerstage, and the range of #lesbian and #bisexual representation #doesn’t seem to be widening even though we are 2 decades deep into the 21st Century.
can someone help me out, and this is serious
why is it that I want to meet and be friends with every woman I meet and see. not even talking dating just friends
is it some kind of hard desire to "pass" that I'm not seen as male?
is it a strong want to make connections and have more friends?
why is it that I want to compliment every woman I see
why do I think every woman I see is just so amazingly beautiful. not talking dysphoria or comparison, I just mean "wow she is so gorgeous"
like this can't be normal
something is wrong with me, and I'm serious not joking.
what is going on??? am I just insanely gay and sapphic? am I broken?
i want to befriend and talk to and help and share with and spend time with women women women women just aaaaaaaaa
#PennedPossibilities 147 #Writing — MC or SC POV: Where did you grow up?
Girlfriend:
Shiro: Tokyo
Kaori: Seattle, but I was sent to Japan after middle school when they caught me kissing another girl. My father thought a traditional Japanese school would straighten me out. Thank goodness my uncle was a decent person.
Shiomi: Some dreadful rural town in Northern Japan. I hated it there and they hated me.
Ume: Hanno City, Japan. I got along better than Shiomi-san at least with the kids at school. Not with my parents. I was supposed to be the male heir to the family and I wasn't having any part of it. This is going to sound weird and I don't care if you believe it, but my Grandfather convinced me to marry our family guardian, Hanayami-shin. A minor god. In return, he paid for me to go to the University of Washington. Where I silently transitioned. Fumihiko became Fumiko. At the time I thought I was getting a free lunch, who was going to believe this "marry the Kami business." I sure didn't. Turns out the joke was on Hanayami-shin, she thought she was getting a husband and got a wife instead. #Trans #Transfem #sapphic

Why don't I have a girlfriend I can kiss even though we wouldn't be dating? Aromanticism interacts with lesbianism in strange ways.

Someone told me that Pedro Pascal is every lesbian's "exception".
I asked them to explain and they told me that he's a super nice guy because he supports and defends his trans sister.
That's cool and all. Admirable even, but if the bar for "converting" lesbians is just being a decent human being, how fucking low is the bar for straight women?
Like holy shit. You think I'm only gay because I'm just waiting for any man to finally jump over that tiny hurdle?

One of the more interesting things that I've noticed in interacting with younger queers is how their perception and definition of "transness" has differed from our own.
They are much more likely to accept that gender is a social construct and willing to label themselves as trans or non binary, but are far less likely to apply that same logic to individual behaviours or attributes.

@Likewise @bookstodon These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs
This is so cuteeee! :blobfoxaww:
Comic by Welcome_To_Heaven:
Two women making out in bed. On top is Sasha, a medium-skinned woman with blue hair. Lying beneath her is Emma, a light-skinned woman with brown and pink hair. Both women blush softly with their eyes closed. Slowly, Sasha lifts Emma's black t-shirt to reveal a pink bra. She reaches towards Emma's breasts, prompting a quick "Ah-" in response. Alarmed, she jumps up and asks "Oh! We're not going too fast for you, are we?" In a daze of pleasure, Emma responds "Wha- oh no, I'm really good." Recovering slightly, she continues "Plus, we've talked about doing this like 100's of times." Sasha, still a bit worried, clarifies her concerns. "Yeah, online," she continues. "But in person... it's different? Like I'm a lot more awkward than I would be if I were typing all this." Emma looks up with a smile. "Sasha... I know you're a person, just like me. We're gonna be awkward and weird and clumsy sometimes." She suddenly blushes and covers her face. "But - fuck this is gonna sound cheesy - but if it's with you then it'll be perfect to me." Sasha swoons, blushing deeply and left speechless.

Chapter 29 released: Epilogue – Reflected Smiles
The last episode: Shiro-san has news for her family. Her happy family.
Quote: The phone rang just as Kao was putting the day’s offerings and a fresh bouquet of white roses in Meiko’s shrine. I looked at the number and gasped. Kao’s uncle had never called me before, but I had his number for emergencies. As I ran out of the room, Kao and Kan-chan watched with alarm.

Artist: Dyke Drama
While there’s a lot of heartbreak from the referenced dyke drama in her music, there are also moments of timid hope.
The song “Thelma and Louise” is especially one of those. It’s that moment I think a lot of us have had, when you and another find each other but fear you will hurt one another. But instead, maybe we take a chance on each other?
https://dykedrama.bandcamp.com/track/thelma-louise
And for those nights drenched in rough feelings, barely able to stand it, and you throw yourselves into each others lips anyway, there’s “Up Against the Bricks.”

Artist: Dyke Drama (Sadie Switchblade, she/her)
https://dykedrama.bandcamp.com/
Why? What makes for better emo punk than the overwhelming intensity and borderline toxicity so many of us find in the highs and lows of lesbian love? Dyke Drama is Sadie Switchblade’s solo project, and this music lives up to this name. While her music will likely speak to any sapphic, gotta say as a trans dyke, it hits especially hard.
Where to start?
“Crying in a Bathroom Stall” is the song where Sadie first grabbed me. An aggressive guitar riff capturing that moment where we just want to burst into tears and scream from love lost. And with the last line, my heart breaks, “Do all tall girls die alone?”

There are a lot of studies out there making the rounds about wlw relationships being shorter than hetero or mlm relationships.
This has been a consistent trend since they started measuring this 40 years ago. What never gets asked, however, is why. It's just used as ammunition for religious fanatics to discredit wlw relationships.
So here are a few hypotheses from an old experienced lesbian for the next researcher to start looking #sapphic #queer #lesbian 1/

Etaski writes mature, gritty #EpicFantasy with an ever-broadening scope inspired by #D&D and #TTRPG.
#FoundFamily is a core theme throughout her world.
Her #DarkFantasySeries begins underground with an isolated race of #DarkElves. The beginning is NOT for the faint of heart.

Much of her music is also joyfully and unrepentantly queer. Another single from that same album, “This Hell,” should be a pride anthem for all of us that left religious trauma, but it also features a pansexual, polyamorous, cowboy wedding...yes, you need to watch it now! Also, I can’t help but read the two partners she’s marrying in the music video as representing Madonna from “Don’t Tell Me” and Lil Nas X from “Old Town Road.”
https://youtu.be/ekauErew4Bs?si=t1Ky47enrJTnovjY
Her song “LUCID” reads as being about how queerness will find you in your dreams, dreaming of the woman she yearns for.
https://youtu.be/BVTr3GRy5g8?si=uV2zLXuK1UZoI2De
And the first song I encountered her through, “STFU,” is a battle cry for every person tired of dealing with mansplaining reply guys...and the video is a hilarious roast of every terrible man Rina has ever dated.

Artist: Rina Sawayama
I also want to encourage people to listen to her entire 2022 album, “Hold the Girl.” Rina has spoken in interviews about how this album was her attempt to “infuse pop with therapy” (https://www.them.us/story/rina-sawayama-hold-the-girl-interview-cover). And so many of these songs have accompanied me on my own journey through trauma therapy for which it’s hard to express how much they mean.
The title track, “Hold the Girl,” is about her own experiences reconnecting with the girl she was that trauma disconnected her from, but I can’t help but read my own experience as a queer trans fem into it:
“Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot them long ago
I wanna rеmember
She is mе and I am her
So hold the girl”
https://youtu.be/ikkfuGeAfYg?si=7OTQOof8GvS6q9Ux
#Sapphic #Lesbian #BiLesbian #Bisexual #Pansexual #Queer #WLW
Artist: Rina Sawayama (she/her)
Why? Rina Sawayama has a unique presence in contemporary pop music. Her introspective and intimate lyrics paired expertly with melody, a voice that sits differently than many other singers, and a powerful vulnerability. As a Japanese British artist and pan sapphic woman, she brings a unique perspective through her music that I know captivates me.
Where to start?
Her 2021 performance of her single, “Chosen Family,” with Sir Elton John is moving and perfect. The fact that Elton plays to her lyrics and composition wholeheartedly is beautiful and speaks to the talent he sees in this young queer artist. There is no better ode to the beauty of chosen family that defines queer life.

Kao-san isn’t happy when Kan-chan suggests adding a fourth to the family.

I found you
in the garden
with the ants and bees and all the rest
(beetles, maybe?)
and a healthy smattering of soil
between your toes
and should I say?
the only thing that clothed you
was the wind
and several grasses overhanging you
I felt your beauty as a force
of nature, warm and cruel
I plucked a blossom on that day
the best that I could find
but imagine my surprise when
you shuddered
to be plucked—
Chapter 27 released: Vanilla

Chapter 26 released: The Woman in Red and Dragon Lady
It would be ironic if our trio perished lost in the Sea of Trees (Aokigahara) after defeating Meiko-kun and sad if Shiro and Kao couldn’t find a way to put their relationship on a more stable footing.
Quote: After a bit, Kao said, “Who’s the woman with you?”
“Kanoko silly. She has been very brave. I don’t think I could have done it without her.”
“No, the other woman.” She pointed and sure enough, there was a woman dressed in a faded red blouse and matching skirt sitting between Kao and Kanoko.

I'm a #transgender #queer #writer who specializes in #sapphic / #lesbian #romance and (occasionally) #erotica, and though I sometimes write sci-fi, my heart is in #fantasy. I also write #poetry, which I freely share on this site.
I just barely finished my first book! I'll be self publishing it during 2023 (sooooooon!), and then work on writing my next fantastic romantic adventure.

Artist: Joan Jett (she/her)
Why? Joan Jett's music is a cornerstone of queer rock and she was not only one of the few women to hold her own in the world of punk and hard rock in the 80s and 90s, but also was explicitly sapphic during these times when queer people were pushed out of music.
Where to start?
"Crimson and Clover" may be a cover, but Joan made it hers in a way that is deeply seductive with a lesbian gaze. I may have also sent it to a cute girl to express my feels for her because that's how much it makes my little gay heart euphoric
https://youtu.be/cXFra7gjElw?si=cgjBupg7fUKJTqaJ
"Bad Reputation" is another cover she fully makes her own, also feeling like she's pulling a bit from the Patti Smith cover. The video has so much gender going on
https://youtu.be/nO6YL09T8Fw?si=E60ejQolcEoLI2zJ
"ACDC" is one from the 00s that I had neglected but it is a bi lesbian polyam anthem
At the same time, however, I want to end on an optimistic note, and watching #TippingTheVelvet reminded me that when I first saw it, #SameSexMarriage wasn't legal in the US, and it is now, even if its future is in doubt. Also, at the time, the city near where I went to college was having a referendum on #LGBTQHousing and #HousingDiscrimination, which eventually won #HousingRights for queer people. Dan Savage's #ItGetsBetter campaign was going viral.
We were fighting the bigots then, and it felt like we were winning. Now it feels like we're on the backfoot in that fight, but that doesn't mean the fight is over. We've come really far, too far to give up now, and we have the opportunity to both protect what we've won while pushing for true #justice and #equity.

I also find myself worrying whether a show like #TippingTheVelvet could be made today. There's such a backlash toward #queer stories and #QueerMedia right now, and the BBC especially seems to be going backwards rather than forwards. Also, almost none of the characters in the show really seem to fit the blandly squeaky clean kind of representation that certain very vocal parts of the internet seem to demand of queer characters.
It feels like the fact that I couldn't quite imagine this show being made today both days something about how far we've come, in that we're telling lots of other queer stories, but also how much we've recently been backsliding, in that I worry a show like this would seem too controversial

I also think that when I first watched #TippingTheVelvet in college, I was disappointed that Nan and Kitty didn't get back together. I think my younger self found the idea of them having a secret affair to be romantic, and I think I found Florence to be a bit boring.
Now though, as an older socialist who works for a nonprofit and likes stability, I am fully on team Florence! I actually now see a lot of myself in that character, and I'm glad she and Nan ended up together. Florence was clearly the healthier choice for Nan.

That being said, I think #TippingTheVelvet pretty much still holds up today. Maybe there's a bit more opportunity there to explore the possibility that Nan is nonbinary now than there would have been back in the early 2000s. The camera work does this unnerving thing where the audience is sometimes put in the perspective of a character in the show in a way that to me is unnerving and 4th wall breaking, I think unintentionally. Sometimes tonally the Vaudeville kind of aestheic they're going for doesn't always work. But it mostly holds up.
I found myself comparing it to #GentlemanJack, and overall, I think Tipping the Velvet does a better job of examining class, which I really wish Gentleman Jack would have been more critical of or encouraged the audience to be more critical of. I'm sorry, but I struggled to root for Anne when she was a landlord.

Watching it again, today, brought me back to my college days and just how paltry #queer representation was at the time. People didn't really even talk much about queerness then, honestly. In the mainstream, both in media and activism the focus was on white, cis, gay, middle class men and the big political demand was for #SameSexMarriage. Stories about anyone else were few and far between, and stories about even those white, cis, gay, middle class men were few and far between.
There was also a heavy focus on #monosexism, so in retrospect, maybe it makes sense #TippingTheVelvet didn't lead to a queer awakening for me. After all, I knew at that time I was attracted to men, and the main character in that show says she feels nothing for men. So maybe that's why I didn't relate?

Also, the actor who played Nan Astley looks a lot like my college crush (who I didn't realize was a crush until a decade later). So rewatching #TippingTheVelvet has kind of left me wishing that it would have spurred some sort of #queer awakening in me. But I guess it didn't. Maybe that's too much to ask of just one show in the early 2000s. As I said before, it was the first piece of media I'd ever seen at the time that focused specifically on queer women.

#LGBTQ #QueerRepresentation #Sapphic #Lesbian #ComingOutAsAnAdult
I didn't watch #TippingTheVelvet when it first came out. I watched it a few years later when I was in college. Someone had uploaded it to YouTube, and this was back in the day when YouTube videos had a 10 minute time limit, so anything longer than that had to be seen in 10 minute increments, and after each video you had to search for the next one and hope that the user had both remembered to upload it, number it correctly in the title and that one of the videos hadn't randomly been taken down for copyright violations even though the rest of them had been left up.
What I'm saying is, in retrospect, I think the amount of work I put into watching this show went beyond the "I'm just being a good ally™️!" explanation that I gave myself at the time.

If you're in the United States and have access to Amazon Prime (and if you're boycotting Prime, I don't blame you and you're doing the right thing!), they have the BBC's 2002 show Tipping the Velvet available right now.
I watched it because I was feeling nostalgic. I think it was the first piece of media I'd ever seen about queer women, in which queer women were the main characters of a show and straight characters were peripheral to the story. So I want to do a thread on it. Not sure that I'll have any brilliant insights—this is probably just going to be me being nostalgic and reflecting on how far we have and haven't come since the 2000s.
