![]() Some credit the time spent away from the general population, while others credit all the time they spent on TikTok. Or, to put it more delicately: There is no shortage of first-person accounts of people who, during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, realized they were in some way queer. But if you’re confused about your sexuality, maybe that undoing is welcome, especially on the internet. There are just as many TikTok’s praising the doc’s clarifying ability as there are TikTok’s about avoiding its world-rocking clairvoyance, as if getting too close could undo your whole world. The doc’s ability to “answer” what can in some cases feel like a troubling question - Am I a lesbian? - has earned its reputation as both a sacred text and a crystal ball. Luz did not set out to write a canonical text, but she did. In the end, it took two days to compile, and while Luz took into account the shared experiences of many lesbians in her corner of the internet, it’s primarily based on her personal experience. It presents you with a series of thoughts and experiences the creator had concluded are common among lesbians. Reading it now, the doc feels like an “Am I a Lesbian?” BuzzFeed quiz. The document has 20 sections, including one about “Early interest in women” and a handy one titled “You might be a lesbian if TL DR.” At the end, her “Credit” section lists a handful of other Tumblr accounts that influenced the writing. “I created the document as a tool of self-reflection for myself and others,” Luz told Vice in 2020. First posted on Tumblr, the doc is very much a product of the platform’s pre-porn-ban heyday, with long (and endearing) asides about crushing on fictional or celebrity men, erotic fanfiction lingo, and mentions of crushing on Kim Possible’s Shego. The Lesbian Masterdoc is a 30-page document (once a Google doc, now a PDF hosted on various websites, passed around on Reddit threads and comment sections) originally written by Tumblr user Anjeli Luz in 2018 when she was still a teenager coming to terms with her own sexuality. ![]() She was sent a bunch of resources from followers - including YouTube channels and other TikTok videos - but one resource stood out as being the most recommended and most helpful: the “Lesbian Masterdoc.” In March, she returned to TikTok with a question: “How do I know if I’m bi, lesbian, or pan?” The quarantine period of 2020 inspired her to start dating women exclusively, and by the end of 2021, she had come out on TikTok as a “baby gay” and began to document her queer infancy for her growing audience of followers. While she enjoyed dating men, she dreaded what felt like an inevitable future of marrying one. Her coming-out story is worth telling because it’s so ordinary: She always thought women were hot and kissable, but she was too busy dating men to do anything about it. I am pleased that we were able to support Georgia, and I hope her strength in pursuing this highlights to other victims that there is help and support available for them and that the courts take these matters very seriously.Photo-Illustration: The Cut Photo: Wild BunchĮarlier this year, Jazelle Foster, 32, realized she was a lesbian. Once I officially receive the settlement sum, I will be donating part of it to multiple charities that have helped support me and other victims of image-based sexual abuse.”īasha added: “This has been a difficult, complicated and emotional case. They have been true heroes on my journey to justice, and I will forever be in awe of how talented they are. It’s no secret that Payne Hicks Beach are one of the most sought after and respected legal teams in the U.K., so it was a real honor to have them support me, especially as I didn’t have the finances necessary to afford a legal team at the time. Harrison said in a statement: “I couldn’t be more thankful to everyone who has helped support my civil claim, which after almost three years has finally been settled. Hanna Basha and Nick Grant of legal firm Payne Hicks Beach’s privacy and media team represented Harrison. It was consensual sex but it certainly wasn’t consensual filming and it was deeply violating.” Pornography is generally actually something done consensually. ![]() A more appropriate term is image based abuse. “This is a gross act of violation by a man towards a woman through the medium of the internet. “This is a case where the term ‘revenge porn’ is sometimes used, it’s a colorful term for the media,” Judge Victoria McCloud said. This is one of the highest amounts to be awarded in an image abuse case and one of the highest awards of all time in a privacy claim arising out of a single act. ![]() The damages, including special damages, and an injunction, were awarded in a ruling at the High Court in London on Wednesday. ![]()
