"You see, my dear child, Mona is alright, basically. It's just that she is an innate sadist, and her experience with you has plunged her into fixed and definite sadistic tendencies that will now become a part of her personality."
Lennie looked up inquiringly. Ted hesitated, not knowing exactly how to phrase his question. "I'd like to know if you are a morphodite?"
"Look here Kiddo," she said seriously to him, "it seems to me you would be glad to get back at Mona. After all you've taken from her, I should think you would be happy. And believe me, she is fit to be tied! Imagine her embarrassment at having a boy declared more beautiful than her. Jeepers, you should have seen her a little while ago. It would have done you good!

A short clip from a fight sequence in Rumble in the Bronx (1995). Jackie Chan kicks an ottoman towards a mook, falling into a sofa chair. He then flips it backwards and tumbles out of it right into a second, smaller chair that he then scoots away in. Another mook chases him, but Jackie smacks him with the nearby refrigerator.

Lesbophobia is a sexually violent and coercive intensification of misogyny, wielded to both mark the bounds of acceptable behavior for heterosexual women and discipline those who dare to imagine existence outside of its bounds. It is the corrective re-assertion of womanhood over lesbians,
Historically, 'lesbian' has been associated with 'feminist' and juxtaposed with 'feminine' antagonistically, to imply that any woman who advocates for her own rights and wellbeing is also someone who forgets her place, heavily implied to be unattractive or aged or defective heterosexually,
Since lesbians betray the most fundamental directive of womanhood under patriarchy—to exist within heterosexuality-Wittig holds that lesbians are not, cannot be women.
Helena Glory, then, is the sanest woman that a patriarch can conceive, the slave so happy with bondage that she does not even recognize it as such.
A rich irony remains in this otherwise rather prescient, in many ways, and piercingly insightful text, which is this: Capek is unable to recognize that gender is as much a relationship of bondage as any other he sought to describe and analogize in his play.
Companies can portray a married lesbian couple on-screen, one engaged for nearly twenty-five episodes of a popular and acclaimed show, and still put out a statement calling a relationship absolutely central to the narrative 'up to interpretation'. Such is the existential terror associated with lesbianism, with acknowledging its very existence
While the relationships between girls—usually students, one usually older than the other in a sort of social-mentor role-could be characterized as affectionate, strong and even meaningful in ways a mere romance, allegedly, simply couldn't be, they still had to remain firmly within the realms of the platonic in order to be publishable at all.
“Class S’ is a Japanese term that describes the notion of ‘romantic friendships’ between girls and could also denote the genre of fiction that focuses on the same. It is a contentious term, not least because the books depicting it were banned in Japan in 1936, and has a fascinating history situated within 20th century Japanese media.” Trans/Rad/Fem Talia Bhatt
“Despite this reduction of the transsexual’s existence to her sexual availability, she is also peculiarly denied something crucial: recognition. While it may be permissible to treat the transsexual like a woman, to degrade her and objectify her and sexualize her as one, she cannot at any point be named as one, cannot be admitted to have achieved the status that those who violate her implicitly categorize her into even as they commit the violation. No, the transsexual has to be something else, has to be the boy who could never grow up, the sissy who couldn’t be manly enough, or the homosexual whose lust for straight men drove her to self-mutilation. In order for her to be the ur-example of dehumanization, the totalized non-person that exists in the harshest contrast against the Natural Man, she must be hurled out of gendered classification so utterly that she becomes Something Else, held up as a degendered freak even as she is subjected to the full force of gendering.” 抜粋: Trans/Rad/Fem Talia Bhatt
“Which all, ultimately, amounts to this: if society ever erroneously constructs a transsexual, she needs to be immediately, instantly destroyed. There is a rich irony inherent to this destruction, however, which is that in attempting to destroy the transsexual, patriarchal society actually constructs her.” Excerpt: Trans/Rad/Fem Talia Bhatt
“If one’s entire ideology is built on a myth of essentialized superiority, of a difference between the master and the slave that is innate and natural and impossible to transcend, then legitimizing any porosity between the two contradictory categories, permitting any identification of the humane Self with the dehumanized Other, has to be treated as an existential threat, a possible catastrophe in the making. Traitors to the regime need to be sought out and suppressed with all possible zeal, every last one stamped out and marginalized to the utter fringes.” Trans/Rad/Fem Talia Bhatt
