• I am not a “stereotypical butch lesbian” (but it wouldn’t be a problem even if I was).
• I do not think women are far superior to men, or vice versa.
• I do not hate men, nor do I wish I was a man.
• I do not want to have children, and there is nothing you can say to change my mind or make me feel bad about my choice. (keyword: CHOICE)
• I can have sex with whoever I want, whenever I want, however I want, and I refuse to let you shame me.
• If I am harassed, hurt, or even raped, in no way whatsoever was I “asking for it”, regardless of how much I had to drink, what I was wearing, or what neighborhood I was in.
• I believe that asexuality and bisexuality are not “phases”.
• I believe that a person’s gender is NOT determined by their genitals.
• I do not toxically hate other women. I do not perpetuate the “catfight mentality” that our media makes us believe women need to have.

I am a strong, independent young woman who believes in equality, respect, and freedom of choice. I AM A FEMINIST.
