Here is a reddit comment about (I suppose) this screenshot of a tumblr exchange https://www.reddit.com/r/SapphoAndHerFriend/comments/rbbjsh/comment/hnouwxp/. The comment links to this https://artlark.org/2022/06/11/renee-vivien-the-misunderstood-lesbian-sonneteer/ and quotes

wrongly assumed that the love poems inspired by Natalie Barney were written by a man to his mistress. The two women actually attended a public “misreading” of Vivien’s poetry incognito, and according to Barney’s account, were forced to stifle their giggles at the lecturer’s mistake.

Skepticism is as essential as empathy on the internet.
