🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️ 🔞 Queer and sapphic book reviews, and nudes. Pansexual, and lesbian, happily married to another woman.

Books should get you wet!
#Reading "Courageous Love" by KC Richardson right now, which has a cop as the #butch protag, and my eye rolling is going strong

I avoid these topics in my lesbian books: Teenagers, wallowing in death mourning, and I struggle with 'no-communication' books. Maybe I need to add cops to my avoid list?

Cops are highly problematic when it comes to the LGBTQ community

Do you really want to alienate a chunk of your audience right from the start?!

It's off putting, to say the least

Pretty tone deaf

Yes, it's a power fantasy that's easy to add, after all in every single case I've read (I think) the cop has been the butch

Sometimes a hard butch, sometimes soft, but cops are easy butch material

But ... modern authors ... don't protag a cop
