“While it technically means a bisexual and m-spec woman who only dates other women, in practice it’s almost exclusively used by transphobes (specifically TERFs) to mean a bisexual woman who will only date cis women and trans men.”
As well as a flag specifically dedicated to that.
And when I looked into all the discussion on Twitter, every time it came to that subject Stummm switched to using straight Russian, requiring Google translate. Which, while it muddies things, made it pretty clear. You’re right.

Hmm. I’d rather hear it directly from Stummm before I presume.
Because if this is true… well, it means I need to go remove some art from a story of mine because I’m a trans woman and I’m not going to keep art from a TERF in my stories.
But I’ve also interacted with Stummm privately on many occasions and I’d like to think I would have noticed prior to now if Stummm was a TERF.

Y’see? I knew this was gonna happen. You start giving everyone their own flag like the former Yugoslavia, now the lesbians are ethnically cleansing the transwomen. When does NATO start bombing?
Why do terfs gotta ruin nice things like this?
sorry you had to find out this way m8

And this is beautiful. I love the way they’re wrapped up in the flags like coats, or yukatas.
