I don't trust any conversations around famous women (particularly pop stars) 'queerbaiting' or discussions around women who kiss other women 'just to turn men on', because 99.99% of the time they just descend into some form of shitting on m-spec and questioning people.
It's just very, very weird to me to declare that a straight woman deciding she wants to have a go at kissing/flirting with other women is an inherently terrible and oppressive thing that we must discourage and call out. Sexuality is a mindfuck, let people play.
Now, can straight women who do this ALSO be lesbophobic, homophobic and fetishistic? Fuck yes, and they can be vile with it.
But blanket declaring that straight (as far as we know) girls getting drunk and kissing other girls is akin to violent systemic oppression? Cease.

Because guess what?
"You're only allowed to kiss/flirt with/dance with other women if you directly declare the specifics of your identity, so we can 'vet' whether you're allowed to or not" will only ever harm queer and questioning women.
