a bunch of ppl use “lbpq” as an acronym (or “lbpq women”), which i personally like the most as too, or yeah, just, “women who love women” or “girls who like girls” or something similar?

Queer seems to be the only all encompassing one that most people tend to know but if you’re not comfortable with it I’d just stick with your ‘femslash related stuff’ or maybe ‘ladies loving ladies’ or just ‘femslash’?

there’s a tag on tumblr that a couple people started a while ago to be a catchall for women who like women in whatever capacity that may be. difemina. from the latin roots for two women.

I’m lesbian but do not identify myself as queer

Thanks for all the answers! All right, then…

Queer’s pretty widely used but I guess my initial objection’s still there. Difemina looks pretty good but it’s just a tag? I remember now, I saw that post too and it seems to have been created literally for this reason but I’m not sure how it’d go with being used as a descriptor. For example, can I say difemina women on TV? Lady-loving ladies? lbpq women…might be the winner. Hmm.

Not got anything helpful to add except that yeah, that bothers me too.

Aye, I’ve just been stumbling along for a while but with Femslash February coming up, I thought I’d ask.
