Hear me out.

Hear me out—why don’t we call the female version of the bastard sword a bitch blade?

Think about it. The bastard sword got its name because it didn’t quite fit the standard classification of a one-handed or two-handed sword—it was illegitimate, a rebel, a weapon with an identity crisis. And what’s the feminine equivalent of that energy? A bitch blade.

Unapologetic. Versatile. Wielded with precision by the sapphic warriors and chaotic trans femmes of history. A weapon that’s as sharp as the wit of the woman holding it. A sword that doesn’t beg for respect—it demands it.

So yes, I’m proposing a rebrand. Give me the bitch blade. Let it be known as the weapon of ungovernable women, disaster lesbians, and anyone who’s ever looked at a longsword and thought, I could make this gayer.
