Adrienne Rich named heterosexuality as an institution — not a default — in 1980. Forty-six years before a pastor tried to call its opposite a pathogen. Freddie Mercury filled stadiums as a queer man who refused to be made smaller. We hold their names like tools.

Adrienne Rich called heterosexuality an institution in 1980. Freddie Mercury filled stadiums refusing to shrink. We're still here. #LGBTQ #QueerHistory #AdrienneRich #FreddieMercury #Resistance #LGBTQHistory #ThistleAndMoss https://twp.ai/4hrJ8U

The Lesbian MasterDoc by Anjeli Luz pulls heavily and uncritically from Rich's text, so if that document also felt vaguely TERFy to you, then now you know why.

I don't think it's going too far to simply state that Adrienne Rich helped Janice Raymond to write The Transsexual Empire, and that everyone reading Rich's work should read it through that lens.

Raymond cites Rich's work in the body of The Transsexual Empire, in the chapter titled (ugh) "Sappho By Surgery", and also thanks Rich in the introduction for her "constant encouragement".

The idea of "comphet" was first introduced in Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence by Adrienne Rich. Adrienne Rich wasn't just a TERF. She was directly mentioned multiple times in the TERF book, The Transsexual Empire, by her colleague Janice Raymond.
