About this deal

Later, when my partner started sleeping with a friend of a friend, I was no more equipped to sort through my mess of emotions (sadness, ambivalence, relief). Once, after a friend’s party in Brooklyn, I drunkenly took a cab into Manhattan alone and picked up a girl at the borough’s only good lesbian bar, Cubbyhole. There's a lot of plot in Tom Robbins's novel about a stunning young woman with indescribably enormous thumbs who's born to, well, hitchhike (among other things) But Gus Van Sant's adaptation of the novel about model and wanderer Sissy Hankshaw (Uma Thurman) boils much of that plot down to a neat queer love story between the protagonist and Bonanza Jellybean (Rain Phoenix), a cowgirl she meets on a spa ranch for women. Once, after I came in her hands, I burst into tears (yeah, I know, big dyke energy), and she held me tightly in her strong, sure arms. Although there were several iterations along the way, the final version of the film about the ax killer from the tiny town of Fall River, Mass.

But I’ve also felt caught between two seemingly competing currents: the lesbian heyday of generations past and what it looks like it’s shaping up to be — a queer, genderfluid, no-labels sort of future. She’d spent so long in more queer-oriented spaces, convincing herself for 15 years that she didn’t need lesbian-specific community.A stylistic tour de force, Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden is not your mother's adaptation of Sarah Waters's lesbian-themed novel Fingersmith (no offense to the excellent BBC adaptation above).

Also speaking before Elvira was Rachel Wahba, Olivia’s cofounder, who told us the story of the original record company’s fateful pivot to travel: Olivia president and founder, Judy Dlugacz, wanted to offer a cruise to the women who’d so faithfully bought Olivia albums and concert tickets over the years, but there weren’t a lot of cruise companies eager to charter a boat to a bunch of lesbians. I wanted to stay in New York; they were feeling pulled back toward the Mountain West, where they’d grown up. But after meeting Lynette, I saw how much pride she took in her butch womanhood, which wasn’t some androgynous nowhere zone — femininity’s absence — but a whole universe unto itself. If you have masturbated and spent time exploring your own body, use the knowledge you have gained of what feels good to direct your partner. It's safe to say, though, that for viewers who prefer to time travel with a good love story about queer women, there are plenty of options.It was thrilling, and cathartic, to have such a deep, generous conversation with three smart women about a question that’s been at the center of my personal and professional life for nearly five years now: Can lesbians, and women in general, survive the gender revolution?

But there were, in fact, a number of stereotype-fulfilling boomer TERFs on board the cruise — and plenty of lesbians whose policing of gender norms took more banal forms. I just don’t understand some of these women,” she said, looking around the room at the joyful group of dancing lesbians. She says, ‘lots of kissing, erotic massage and BDSM play (spanking, flogging, restraints and blindfolds)’ can all be part of a queer person’s sexual repertoire.Another woman caught us goofing around in the pool and reported to Lynette that we were causing a bit of a scene. But even though there are plenty of trans and nonbinary lesbians, and plenty of cis lesbians (like me) who don’t think that “lesbian” should be defined exclusively as “cis woman who’s only attracted to cis women,” our identity still hasn’t been able to shake the sexist, classist, and anti-gay stereotypes of lesbians as uncosmopolitan boomer TERFs, sporting Tevas and cargo pants covered in cat hair. The latest -- and most accessible -- film from Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos ( The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) is a wild, queer romp through the 18th-century court of the sickly, often childlike Queen Anne of England.

When I first pitched this story to my editors, I thought I’d be reporting on a lesbian cultural artifact in its twilight years. Seeing everybody swap out their board shorts and tourist tees for suits and gowns, I felt overwhelmed with care for all these women; most of us, when we were actually in high school, didn’t have the opportunity to dress according to our gender presentations or have women as dates on our arms. If you’ve ever watched lesbian porn, you could be forgiven for thinking scissoring is all women and vagina-havers do when they have sex with each other. It's easier than ever to get tested, with home STI kits - like these from Sexual Health London - that can be sent to your home free of charge.But the main question concerning Olivia’s younger guests, which we’d spend the rest of the mixer discussing at length: How welcoming was Olivia to trans travelers, particularly trans women? For people with a vulva having sex with another person with a vulva, sex can be mutual oral sex,’ says Dr Lori Beth Bisbey, a sex and intimacy coach and psychologist for Ferly. There’s a lot wrong with that perspective — for one thing, a lot of the modern queers who shit on butch/femme dynamics aren’t from the working class, where those identities were born — but it’s one I still sympathize with, especially as someone who’d previously been hesitant to claim femme identity as my own.
