I’m tired of hearing “why do you call yourself/your relationship sapphic? Lesbian isn’t a bad word” when RIGHT it’s not. But I’M not a lesbian, I also like men. I am very much bisexual, and I’m uncomfortable calling myself lesbian because of that.

This is why I really want the term sapphic to be more popular

It’s just inaccurate to the point of uncomfortable, and also I don’t think lesbians would like me calling myself a lesbian when I’m not?
