@Grail@Melody I use sapphic as a way to refer to both lesbians and bisexual women at the same time. Not to be exclusionary but as a way to refer to a common ground. Wlw could also be used, but that’s hard to pronounce when talking.
Back in the 20th century, people used the word lesbian to refer to gay and/or bisexual women. Nobody said the word lesbian as if it didn’t include bisexuals, except for the many people who didn’t believe in bisexuals at all. This exclusion of bi women while acknowledging they exist is a newfangled trend, and it doesn’t make any sense.
