Why do ppl label us Lesbian as Butch, Femme or Lipstick? Why can't we just be women loving...

Because labels make it easier to dehumanize people 😔

Yes, we tend to cathegorise or label everyone.

Yes, and people are said to be " in a lesbian relationship" can't they just be in a relationship ?

I didn't even know those terms, I've heard butch as a derogatory term for a husky woman not necessarily lesbian.

Oh this drives me so crazy, when I was with my girlfriend, people would be like, "Oh so you're both lipstick lesbians?" And then on other days, "Oh so you're more of a tomboy, huh?" And my personal favorite, "So which one of you is the guy?"

I only hear gays use that terminology to self identify.
