Please keep posts focused on women and female homosexuality! If you want to talk about attraction toward males it probably belongs in the bisexuality thread or questioning thread (check the catalog, they're usually not on the front page but I promise they exist!). Please ignore obvious bihet/troon/tradthot/fujo/etc rage bait as well. Remember that when we take the bait and infight the trannies win!

I started dating a girl a few weeks ago. Last night out of nowhere she brings up TERFs and how much she hates them.

Does she even know what "terfs" actually believe, or does she just think they're a bogeyman like most terf-haters do? I find many terf-haters don't realize they themselves are actually cryptoterfs.
If she thinks transwomen aren't interchangeable with women in practical scenarios like sports, she's a terf in most troons' eyes.

every single social/hobby group for lesbians has older women. None my age. I feel like if i joined any I’d just be this awkward chubby faced, gangly teenager trying to relate to confident and interesting grown women. I don’t think there are any lesbian spaces irl with girls my age. So i don’t think i would be accepted by these groups, and i couldn’t connect with them. Do i just have to cope until I’m in my late twenties? Dayum. Does anyone else feel this way or know any spaces for young homogirls? Or is it going to be filled with void/voidself tiktokers?

Your gen will possibly be retarded even when you reach 27+ because my gen never did buy into this bs and yours very much does. At the older circles you describe (which I belong to) nobody actually believes the tranny propaganda fully, some are unaware that theyre cryptoterfs as other anon said.

Those are lesbians overcompensating because even the label of "cis lesbian" is now a "terf dogwhistle" so they have to go nonbinareeee and become super obnoxious about it lest they're accused of being "cryptoterfs". And they often are because as a woman and even more so as a lesbian in queer spaces you just can't win if some TIM wants you to lose. By merely intentionally misinterpreting her words or even entirely making shit up about her a TIM can turn the entire community against any woman he doesn't like faster than she can say "transmisogyny exempt".

Yeah but I'm an oldfag. I peaked years ago and don't really want to care about peaking someone who still parrots TWAW and "woman's brain in a man's body" bs. I just want to settle down with a based gf and never talk about gender bullshit again.

You just say some crypto stuff and see if she starts screeching TERF RHETORIC. If she doesn't, she doesn't know enough about discourse to clock you, nor does she know enough about the batshit logic troons use to spread their ideas. That's a peakable, reasonable person. You start peppering conversations with more ideas and you'll find she agrees often. You then put a disclaimer saying "ofc this would get us rape threats if people knew we think this" and the wheels start turning. They start to get curious as to why their reasonable ideas would get them excommunicated from the community, that's when you start to hit them with more and more facts and lived experiences.

Speaking the truth will eventually get you to a place where you can say whatever the hell you want, as long as you've done so with a sense of compassion and vulnerability. Basically, re-run your own peaking but slower.

>>273790
I'm GNC and short but I've gotten nothing but positive attention from women tbh. You just need to get comfortable with more nuanced power dynamics, if you are a dominant person then you just are. You embody that regardless of height, especially as a woman. Men have like no sense of self, they just always look dumb if they're short. Women have range. Just because you're masc also doesn't mean you have to be domineering, it's not always the most obvious answer that ends up being the most natural. My advice is to occupy your own body and embody what comes easily. You don't have to be a tall daddy butch stereotype to be butch.

GNC4GNC couple, I lean more masc. My gf is taller but weaker than me, I like the rush I get from letting her bully me. I could technically push back way harder than she can but that I relinquish power to her is hot. We do also play it straight sometimes, I overpower her and she melts away in my grasp. But even then shes getting overwhelmed by a woman smaller than her. I like our dynamic. Short masc women are blessed too!

No. 273809

I've never viewed a woman as less butch or attractive based on height. Imo it's the same as manlets, if you're insecure and weird about it it's unattractive but if you're confident and don't develop a complex about it won't matter. In my area at least almost every butch woman I've met has been shorter than me and still extremely hot and masc.

Don't let it bother you.

I'm Butch and very masc to the point of getting "sir'd" at times and I'm all of 5'3. Muscular but smallish frame. It depends on how you fill out the space you occupy. You're you, you're the height you are, it is what it is.

Relax, don't be meek, but don't take up space like a scrote either. You just have to get your energy together.

My girl is 5'7, athletic, and got about 45lbs on me. She's much bigger than I am but our dynamic is still what it is. I'm physically stronger than her but we play by ear. Depsite being smaller, she likes me to dominate her and I do not feel like any kind of -let when I do it lol.

I'm proud of your progress. Work on the confidence next. I believe in you, nonna.

Nonnies why am I so retarded at flirting with girls? I keep seeing this girl I think is cute but we never say more than 2 words to each other but we always give each other this look like we both want to talk more but neither of us are going for it. Admittedly maybe I'm not automatically clockable as gay so maybe she's questioning her shot with me? I see her a lot in the store I go to but I don't want to bother her while she's at work. I've only ever been flirted with by scrotes which I was never receptive to it so I don't know how to act when someone I potentially can like does it back to me.

Does anyone else constantly struggle with feeling like a “predator” around other women? Whenever I’m in a locker room or something like that I get this horrible feeling of guilt since I’m attracted to women, and I feel like I’m invading their space even though I’m also a woman. I don’t like stare at women changing or anything pervy like that, but I still get the grossest feeling. Maybe it’s just years of repression idk but I’ve felt like this ever since i was a teenager

No. 273949

>>273947
You described the quintessential homosexual experience, every lesbian woman and gay man that I know experiences this to at least some degree. Being embarrassed of their presence in a locker room or even helping someone with straightening out their collar or other actions that involve physical intimacy, we've been conditioned to believe ourselves to be inherently predatory just for being gay. I remember when I tried to explain this to a straight friend of mine and she didn't understand it at all and was surprised to even hear it because she had never even considered it to be a thing. We live in an alternative reality where the same rules don't apply to us as they do to the majority, when a straight girl says she "doesn't mind if a lesbian crushes on her" she doesn't realize that we have years of homophobic grooming under our belts that affect our mindset and behavior every day.

No. 273961

>>273947
I always felt the opposite way tbh, that I was too exposed when changing around other women and didn't understand why I was so shy. Turns out women seeing my body is intimate to me because I'm into them lol. But after realizing I'm gay I've felt some predatory fears too, not towards changing rooms as I've not used one since school but rather in more casual settings where my behavior can be seen as flirty. I've filtered my words and feared being seen as a creep. I've loosened up on all that now though, I just make sure I dont literally hit on someone if I don't want to shoot my shot and go live my damn life. It's not that deep, a homophobe will still say you're a predator and no amount of filtering will change that. It's their problem.

No. 274055

>>273932
I wouldn't try flirting too much whilst she's at work since it can become pretty awkward since it's not like she can just leave if you made her uncomfortable (although from what you've said that doesn't sound like the case imho). You could always leave her a simple message + your number on a receipt or something and see what happens. The worst that can happen is her not getting back to you! Though if you do that, make sure she knows its from you in one way or another - I wrote my crush a note and she ended up thinking it was from a moid friend of mine and they started dating shortly after. Needless to say I was suuuper bummed.

Embarrassing TMI but I've been so fucking horny lately I can't take it, I'm debating on whether just to hook up with some bicurious girl only to satisfy my needs because I'm deadly afraid of being u-hauled after just one no strings attached fling. I'm single and I'm not looking for a relationship at the moment, I don't have that much trouble finding company but god damn am I not willing to deal with the fallout of me not considering presenting the engagement ring as foreplay.

The hypersexual poly "lesbians" are always bihet pillow princesses who want their boyfriend in on the deal.

Reading your post made me nervous because this feeling has been with me all my life. I came out when I was 18 and couldn't keep any friendships from before that time because I had a feeling they'd see me as predatory. I'm embarrassed about being affectionate with my female friends and it goes to the extreme of me being unable to initiate sex in committed relationships. Every therapist I had since then couldn't help me much with it, so I just go on feeling like shit.

What do you think about women who had plastic surgery? I'm bi (i know, not my thread but i wanna ask lesbians) and i want to live the rest of my life with a woman but for some reason i'm self-conscious about having had surgery around women. Not men because i know their pornsick brain don't care despite all the hate they spout about it. I don't know, do you nonnas hate it?

Plastic surgery in itself isn't the problem but the kind of people who usually choose to get it aren't really the kind I get along with. I'm more into styling yourself with clothes, accessories and hairstyles instead of obsessing over something you can't change without invasive procedures, it seems very vain and BDD-esque to me to get nose jobs for a perfectly normal nose, lip fillers or breast implants. To me it tells me about your personal values and how you live your life by and it probably won't match with mine.

No. 274556

>>274489
It depends. It's a turn-off overall but "plastic surgery" covers an umbrella of things nowadays, if someone had boob/butt implants or fillers injected that would be a dealbreaker but if someone broke their nose and got a reconstruction or got some stomach fat removed, I don't really care.

No. 274562

Do you think most lesbians that you know are critical of media and pandering more so than bisexual/straight people? Do we see through the bullshit because we're less male adjacent then the rest of society?

From what little I've seen, I'm happy if it makes someone else happy but I dip when it's obvious the relationship doesn't interest me.
I watched She-ra a while back because I heard it had good women representation but came out disappointed with the shipping. The only pairing I wanted to read fan-fiction about was Entrapta x Hordak despite the large Female cast. A similar thing happened when I watched Steven Universe though that's because of a lot of reasons. It makes sense knowing Rebecca Sugar married a man and Noelle Stevenson's troubled sex life that the lesbian couples they create aren't free from moid influence or if they are, they're not very compelling.
Either that or I should just watch/read lesbian media for adults already.

No. 274572

>>274571
Thanks for the reply nonnie. Yeah I agree, I think I'm just really bitter because I've been waiting for good representation for awhile now and there always seems to be moids involved in every homosexual relationship. I think I watched up until season 2 of she-ra and stopped because I was annoyed with all the groveling that Noelle was doing for twitter. I didn't expect Entrapta x Hordak to be a thing that's funny. Yeah! The western media thread has had some great commentary on all these shows.

I have forgotten about books, there have been some decent ones I've read before. Not fiction but I really enjoyed reading Surpassing the Love of Men: Romantic Friendship and Love Between Women from the Renaissance to the Present when I was in college. I should try and reread it.

Oh that also reminds me of If These Walls Could Talk 2 and Chloe Sevigny's character. The commentary on butch/femme dynamic seems as current as ever lol.

"representation" is an inherently retarded concept that truly doesn't matter unless you're under 18 or autistic/bpd. Sometimes a ship clicks on you, sometimes it doesn't but sperging about how x ship is shit inherently bad/"Bad Rep" because it doesn't appeal to you is retarded as hell. You don't see lesbians or any well ajusted adults having those conversations outiside autistic melting pots like Tumblr or Reddit because trying to add a morality spin (trying to pull a "it's Bad because i don't like it) in 2d ships is waste of time.

And for the record, i mostly dislike all those popular gay ships like korrasami/catradora/that owl house ship/any SU bullshit because i find them bland, even in fanfiction.

"Good representation" died with Naomi and Emily on Skins and even then it was shaky but at least it wasn't too uwu and some effort was being made. "Bad rep" doesn't make me mad though, stuff like Rue and the troon on Euphoria just makes me roll my eyes and lots of the other stuff like Owl House and Heartstopper feel like they're made for 13 year olds.

No. 274587

Ohh yeah that's true (Naomi fucked up so many times lol). I also somewhat liked the Jasper and Lapis from SU relationship since it showed an abusive relationship kind of well imo. That reminds me of another British show, Switch (2012), where one of the main characters is a lesbian. That one was pretty fun to watch.

Yeah, when I was younger it made me disappointed because I was so hopeful but now I'm not. I realized that most media is made by nepo-babies or dorky moids writing out their self-insert fantasies. That's true, I had to google Heartstopper I can't even get into anything teen related because I'm an old fart now.

No. 274603

>>274587
Jasper x any gem were the most compelling lesbian dyanmics to come out of SU. It's very ugly in fan-fiction, the abuse hits a spot that keeps the content engaging. But even when SU was at its prime of popularity, any x Jasper was either too much for the 10 year old fans or too risque for the genderspecial teens/adults.
It's a damn shame. It was because most young girls didn't believe a lesbian relationship could be abusive, lesbians were perceived as "too abuse" so the ship shouldn't be seen as to not create more of that in media or something, that women couldn't love in that way while men could in their fanfics, that abuse in it of itself shouldn't be seen…
I don't find cartoon characters titillating but the lack of acceptance in the fandom circa 2015 didn't help the general perspective of what the "lesbian space rock show" was capable of being to young girls who watched it on tv. And that plays a part as to why more nuanced lesbian things are so foreign to gen Z, they weren't exposed to anything since that's far too much for children's programming and is in no news stories. The last I saw of that was some 90s shows with carpet-muncher jokes.
Maybe we'd have less clueless genderspecial women if SU was created for teenagers instead and the mayor guy called them his favorite dykes one time or something.

No. 274689

>>274603
Yeah I completely agree and I can understand that too. We hardly get any lesbian/lesbian couples without some moid being like yeah lesbians abuse just as much as men do! Rebecca Sugar really did write the realities of abuse pretty well. I think even straight relationships haven't been that nuanced. Like the whole abused partner becoming the abuser (but they aren't the abuser they're just fighting back/ trying to create boundaries). It's a shame I think most of us have had abusive relationships and it would be nice to have some media to warn other babygays to not put up with it.

Yes! I totally agree with that. Now that I'm getting older I lowkey understand the whole generations bickering amongst one another (even though it's stupid). They for one don't know what it was like to live in a world that was still unabashedly homophobic. Things have changed so fast in the past 20 years and they assume that life has always been this way.

I remember that show Sugar Rush and how it was a whole series of the lesbian character pining after her straight friend. You know what that's just like that MTV show Faking It. So many porny/destructive relationships. It might not be the lesbian death trope but it's close enough for me.

I remember how male gazey they made the trailers for Jennifers Body but how the message of the story was a lot better than that? I need to watch it.

Now I get why bisexuals get upset when you criticize lesbian relationship in media. Because all this media is created for them and moids. Although some characters may have been latebloomers….. Literally almost every fucking relationship involves a man in media. Media may portray a homosexual relationship but it usually is always comprised of a bisexual and a lesbian.

i downloaded a couple lesbian dating apps, and more than half the girls on there were they/thems or he/theys. only time you'd see a she/hers were TIMs and white women who looked like they were looking for unicorns. its even worse for butch women, almost all of them claim to be nonbinary or gender queer or whatever. my hope to find a butch/gnc gf has decreased greatly.

I'd give anything to have a girlfriend who thinks I'm cute, smart, and funny and tells me often. I love giving and receiving compliments, encouragement, reassurances, etc., so I'm very kind and supportive to everyone in my life, not just romantic partners. It comes naturally to me and people seem to really appreciate it. But I guess somehow I choose poorly and have always ended up with exes who hated me and insulted me even while we were dating… So now I'm laying here crying imagining what it'd be like to have an actually healthy relationship with a woman who loves me and wants to make me happy and will gladly say nice things to me, authentically and unprompted. I don't think I'm unlikeable or unworthy. I know I have a lot to offer, and I'm sure one day, hopefully, maybe, someone could love me like that. It just feels so far away that I can't help but feel sad.

What the actual fuck perused the butch thread and it's just bi's larping as butches and telling each other they can call each other butches and nonnies posting he/him nonbinary women saying their butches.

Nonnie When I watched Law and Order SVU there was a character that got abused several times and she had a talk with olivia asking her why does this happen to me? Do I have a target on my back and these things will always happen to me? And Olivia said no these situations can happen to anyone anytime you just need to watch your back and be prepared. The same thing used to happen with me with creeps pushing my boundaries because I'm short. I thought it was going to be my way of life until I realized that this sort of thing can happen to anyone and you just need to stand up for yourself and call creeps out.
I think the same goes for getting into bad relationships. You got to look for the red flags and have the self love to cut shit off when it starts to get bad. When you're desperate for love the sharks can smell it. Love yourself more and cultivate the perfect relationship with yourself where you enjoy your life so much you get the mindset that I love my life so much does this person deserve to be in my life? Do they add to my life? and if not you can cut them out. And the more you put yourself out there and meet more people the closer you get to finding the one.

It's not trolling when you disagree with something. Especially when it's a group of people deciding together on whether they can use lesbian terms or not when they aren't lesbians. You seem pretty young with no knowledge of lesbian history. You can't just rewrite something you don't know about. Or when you don't know how older lesbians feel about said words. It sounds like you are a bit mentally ill and trolling.

What is that age old adage divide your age by 2 and add 7. 25/2= 12.5+7= 19.5…. I would say no. I used to tell myself that too we have to have age gaps there's no one out there. I was working at a university and there was a chick I thought was in her early 20s but when we started texting it turned out she was 19 (I was 26). I thought it would be nice to get to know her as a friend and kind of put off that she was a baby. Kind of turned out that even though I'm a little emotionally immature teenagers/young adults are way worse and still figuring their shit out. I look back and remember how inept I was at 20. You never know it might work but the age factor might become a big thing later on in the relationship. Before this I dated someone that was three years younger than me and I sometimes felt like I had a hidden guide on adulting/experience that my ex didn't have. Made the dynamic weird at times. But then I started dating someone 10 years older than me lol. Good luck with whatever happens.

Personally I definitely wouldn't, I'm 22 and wouldn't date an 18 year old even now because that seems so young to me (maybe because where I live they're still in high school at that age). I think age gaps are fine in lesbian relationships when both women are a bit older but when one is very young there will likely be a big difference in maturity (both in terms of literal brain maturity and general life experience) that I wouldn't be comfortable with.

I'm 21 and I can tell you that it won't work out. Even I'm extremely immature at times but especially with the pandemic a lot of kids missed out on 2 years of emotional growth and experiences.
I thought at 18, I wanted to go out with a guy friend (24) but even then, we were so different emotionally maturity wise with experiences. Your best bet would be 21.5ish-23 if you wanted a younger partner that you could relate to and things would work. Also remember many 18/19s want to party and go out- which you've probably passed already and done. Hence maturity/experiences. Good luck nona, you can still be friends!

Age gaps are pretty common unfortunately. Some people think that they could never hurt someone and think "Well I'm childish so it's ok to be with a less mature younger person" but like, they still manipulate regardless if they're not in control of their emotions. Just because they aren't aware of what kinda bs they're pulling doesn't mean it's not happening. Imo avoid people like that, an "immature" person in the late 20s and beyond are red flags.

Age gaps are weirdest when one or both parties are under 25 imo. If it's like a 30 year old and a 40 year old, that's whatever because while they'll have different generational backgrounds around pop culture refs and stuff, there's less of a gap in maturity and life stages.

Sucks about your blindness. Might be a detrans "afab" as well, if the pictures are somehow that unclear but their phrasing of something confused you. And before lurking trannies feel vindicated, we can all clock you once we see how you look and behave IRL. You will never be women, one can only be born as one.

Oh I'm gonna try to keep at it, it's just easy to get discouraged when most people are either insane or boring. I live and study in a rural area so finding actual lesbians is impossible. The only girl who had any interest in me on my campus was a pansexual enbee and I'm 99% sure it was because I gave her positive platonic attention, she dated around a LOT.
I think I'm more upset about my friend than anything. I clocked her as gay the day I met her and when she told me she was gay I think I helped her a bit with coming to terms with it since I'm pretty open about my sexuality. I feel like the "fucking straight men" thing is a cope for growing up in a middle eastern house where you're told you're going to hell for not fucking scrotes. Still stings a bit to hear though, and I still want to take her to a gay/lesbian bar. I think some female attention would do her some good and make her realize men are unnecessary.

If your friend enjoys having sex with men and has fun, she is not gay in any way and it looks more like you desperate and are hoping she is lesbian despite a pretty huge evidence she is not.

Welp, nonas were right. I spent so many days on here getting advice on a million things and defending her but my gf is bi. She "can't love men" but can get off to their bodies and I've seen her notice them right in front of me before. Everything about her that I noticed and pointed out to her, that she kept telling me I'm imagining… It's all true. She loves me too much which is why she couldn't own up to it yada yada. She chose to take my choice away from the start, she knew I didn't want to date a bisexual, regardless of where she is on the Kinsey scale. It was my one deal breaker besides gender stuff. I'm such an idiot. All the times she pretended to understand me as a lesbian or the times that she kept "worrying" I might be bi because I grew up in a shithole country where I had no idea what a lesbian was just her fucking projecting and pretending. She even convinced me to go to the dyke march together, my first one, and it's all tainted.

I'm already in love and my ability to make the right decision for myself has all but evaporated. She has made me feel like I'm insane or paranoid so many times and I was right every time.

She wrote me a novel about her experiences and she's had very few partners plus her first was a male groomer she met at 14 who was her only sexual experience for a long time, etc. My brain is back to making excuses for her, trying to see if she was just conditioned or self harmed but no. I need to stop burying my head in the sand now that she's done shoving my head down into it. She's only dated one male so who is to say there won't be one who's actually nice to her that she won't love? I hate that she simply chose to live under the identity that I've fought for decades to embrace. She just chose to wear it, and then made me feel like a psycho when I noticed things that don't add up.

I still want to psychoanalyze and say she had a bad crossing of pavlovian wires due to her early trauma because she only liked girls before and since this dude but no. She's just bi. I need to stop.

No. 275391

Anon is her only bf the one who groomed her? I'd say I'm bi myself but I can't have relationships with men, I did try(cause I'm in a Muslim country and it'd obviously be easier to date a man) and I didn't feel anything emotionally towards them. I can tell if a man is attractive but I can't connect with them emotionally or really imagine dating one in the long term so I just gave up. I use bi generously here, I haven't done anything further than holding hands with a man and don't really intend to go further with any man ever.
I've also dated and had flirts with women(some of which were bi and had no issue telling me about the men they'd fuck, ew) so I understand your concerns but if your gf really was groomed she could be a confused lesbian or bisexual with no intentions to date a man. You should discuss this openly with her and try not to be judgemental. I know she deceived you and you can obviously break up with her over that but a woman who has been victimized by a man in her formative years will have a skewed view on her sexuality, it may go as far as her unknowingly ignoring her attraction to men as it reminds her of those bad experiences.

She says she's never dating one but she's dated like 4 people in her life. You can't know that kinda stuff with barely any exerience, especially in a muddy situation like hers.

Her knowing I would not even consent to sex with a bisexual, and still lying to me means our months of relationship has been noncon. I'm grappling with the profound cruelty it takes to deceive someone just to get the pussy you want out of them. Do you understand where I'm coming from? I'm not here to validate anybody's sexuality or attractiveness. I'm a human being with a will of her own, a body that she should get to choose the destiny of. She knew how I feel about all this, she did it anyway.

>a woman who has been victimized by a man in her formative years will have a skewed view on her sexuality, it may go as far as her unknowingly ignoring her attraction to men as it reminds her of those bad experiences.

I get it and I sympathize, I do. But I was taken advantage of. I also resent that she spent so long hating bisexuals and women who figured out their bisexuality later on in life when she's only using the lesbian label to "avoid making men think she's available to them". Bro just say queer or reject them? Imagine being such a coward that you wear someone else's identity for the convenience. Pathetic.

No. 275393

Samefag as the last reply but you should also note a lot of bi women feel more intensely towards other women - they just choose to be with men as it's simply easier and more acceptable. She deceived you and in the end this is up to your judgment but I feel like you need to talk this out so you can unwind and stop trying to fix her issues for her. After having an open discussion, if it still bothers you, do break up.
As I said I also had very unsettling experiences with some bi women where I always felt like I needed to compete with men to win them over and deep down I knew that was a lost cause as they always chose the more convenient option.

No. 275394

Anon as I said, she did deceive you and you can break up with her just for that reason alone. Though she genuinely might have confused her attraction as something everyone feels as she probably didn't want to actively date any of those men like she thought a woman attracted to them would. I rarely feel attraction towards men(been a fee years since I last did) so I too at first thought I was a lesbian. I still am not sure about labels and dislike queer so I simply go by bi as to not cause further misunderstandings or hurt anyone.

Again this is your call and it'd be reasonable to break up with her over this but I don't believe she hid her attraction to fuck you but rather because she was ashamed of the way she felt towards a group of people(men) who had already hurt her deeply. A lot of straight women think they're asexual after they get abused in such ways so in her case she might have also been in denial about her attraction because of the trauma.

In the end I don't know her, you do. That's why your choice will be the right one. You're clearly very distraught and I'd say you at least need to take a break even if you have trouble fully breaking things up.

Fuck it.

There's something I've been hiding because I was afraid you wouldn't understand and wouldn't want anything to do with me anymore if I tried to explain. You had said in the past that if I were bi you would still be my friend. I'm terrified that you'll label me as a bisexual if that means I won't get to be with you. You're the only one I want to be with, but lying and hiding something from you feels like shit, too. Especially now that you've been open with me. I can only hope you'll attempt to understand my specific way of being and forgive me.

As you know, I went from identifying as bisexual to identifying as lesbian. Here's why.

I can't reliably develop feelings for men. For my entire life, I never developed a proper crush on a boy. Sometimes, my male friends would like me, and I tried to like them back but I just couldn't make myself feel for them. Meanwhile, I had uncontrollably strong feelings for my female friends. Sometimes, a dude would catch my eye, but I feel like it was because I wanted to be like him. I wouldn't feel jealous if he liked someone else. It wasn't the same, with one exception: my one male ex. I definitely wanted to be like him when I was young. I dug his style. I did not know him irl, so maybe it was easier to convince myself that I liked him romantically. No one had ever returned my attention before at the tender young age of 14, so I was excited when the 17 year old noticed me and decided to DM me. The way he spoke to me then was extremely sexual and it definitely felt strange because I hadn't been thinking sexual thoughts about him/us. It was strange and new. He asked me to rate him on a scale of 1-10 and I'd said 10, and then he proceeded to rate me an 8.5. That felt really degrading. But, I didn't know better. He continued to give me sexual attention sometimes, as he would for many women, and I ate it up because for the first time in my life, someone wanted me that I "liked" back. I don't remember the timeline perfect, but when I was about 16, about to turn 17, we started dating online. Being objectified felt weird but I think I established an emotional connection. Ish. But I also think that looking back (especially on that old livejournal I showed you), he provided me with validation and I thought that was the only way I could be loved, because with women I was still a total incel. Sometimes, [childhood crush] would cuddle me or do something flirty and I definitely had a very strong physical reaction to just that. Turns out she probably was attracted to me, she just thought I didn't like her because I was too shy. I had been obsessed with her for like 5 years. Anyway, I digress. I think I was drawn to this man in part because I admired him, in part because we became friends and started getting each other jokes and could discuss the same media etc., because he validated me and because it was my only way to experience sex. I lost my virginity to him when I was 19, and though the experience was very much centered around him and his pleasure and not at all on getting me off, I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the sensations at the time. I still disliked blowjobs and secretly thought cum was disgusting. We continued the LDR for a few years and it wasn't healthy. I let him get away with treating me very poorly because I didn't know better, I didn't have anything else. It's not like women would like me. Finally, I had developed feelings for a man. I had a feeling that I wouldn't be capable of developing feelings for another man after him, and I was correct. He would cheat by talking to random women online sexually, constantly. Didn't feel guilty enough to tell me. I found out by snooping. I was apparently addicted to being uncomfortable and suspecting things. I would act out and he would treat me like I was the only problem in our relationship, like only I needed to change. He told me I should write in a personal journal for my mental health, one that I don't show to anyone. I did. At my place, he secretly checked my browser and then snooped on the journal, then proceeded to get upset at finding my grievances about him. I felt violated. I swore off snooping after that and never did it to anyone else again.
I wasn't happy in that relationship anymore but I didn't know how to end it. I developed a crush on a female internet friend that I knew I wasn't physically attracted to (I'm sorry, but she was the most homely young woman imaginable) because she gave me attention, made me laugh, and I liked her voice. She said she liked me back, which is the first time a woman ever did. I left him for her with no remorse. I realized that even being with this woman that I didn't even want to touch felt better to me than being with him. I started reading yuri and realized that it excited me more than any het thing I'd seen. It felt right. If women could like me back, I saw no reason to Id as bi anymore. I only wanted to be with women. When I met that girl in real life, she was in a dissociative state most of the time, and I didn't know how to communicate with her very well. I was honestly afraid of her. It became quickly apparent that I didn't actually have a connection with her either, and it was mutual so we had a friendly breakup and stopped talking much, though we are still casual internet friends. He now identifies as a non-binary transmasculine person (he/him)
I hadn't given up the lesbian identity. I just became determined to find a woman I was actually fully attracted to, that would be attracted to me too. Now that I was aware of yuri and all the other young women who were into it, I knew it was possible. I met [transmasc] through that community and finally had a relationship that just felt healthy and right. It felt incredibly different from the het relationship. I wasn't going to go back after experiencing that. When she broke up with me after a year and a half, that was my first time being a dumpee so I took it really badly, really immaturely. Just went totally batshit, wanted to die, etc. I had that moment of weakness with [male friend who she has assured me doesn’t want her, but totally does as things came out later] then, but it felt so so wrong. He wanted to talk about holding hands and be vulnerable and that didn't interest me at all. Even the sex talk just felt unappealing to me. I was unhealthily trying to find any way to feel better after that breakup. Luckily, he didn't take it too hard that I decided I didn't want that anymore, but also I feel it was shitty of him to try and get things from me while I was in such a vulnerable, heartbroken, insane state.
In the years that followed I got no action aside from the fling with [woman she was obsessed with basically right before we met, a matter of a couple months]. I wasnt really desperate enough to go searching. I wanted to ensure that I tried my best to just get her. When I met her here, I swore off of long distance relationships. Decided I'd rather be single than do that again. Decided I'd rather be single than ever settle again.
I got to know myself quite well sexually. Here's what I learned:
- I can generally look at porn as a spectator, not inserting myself, and get off to it. If something sexual is happening, my pussy responds to it. Even if it's men.
- However, I have no desire to be involved with a man, I don't feel attached to them now that I'm not a teenager craving validation from wherever possible. I could feel turned on by the idea of a man's faceless body (while also feeling that parts of it are disgusting), but when I imagine actually being physically involved with a man, the feeling is adjacent to dysphoria. It feels wrong, it feels anxious, it feels very "this is not where I belong." I had the opportunity to casually experiment with [same guy friend from before] in person or get laid just to get laid, but that didn't appeal to me at all. For about 4-5 years I've been firmly in this headspace of "I'd prefer to be with a woman I genuinely love, and if that's not possible I will be completely single and not have sex."
- if I ever orgasmed from something that wasn't focused on a woman I had feelings for, the orgasm felt incomplete. It felt as though some of the feel-good chemicals that usually are released during orgasm were not released. It felt soulless, empty and ultimately unsatisfying. I had to follow it up by masturbating to the idea of myself with a woman i had feelings for. That would always produce a satisfying orgasm. I could be done after that.

When I fell for you, I heard how much you hated porn, and stopped using it. It wasn't fulfilling anyway. I just looked at you, thought about you. You are everything I seek in a partner. You're the ideal for me. I don't need anything, or anyone else. Don't think for a second that I'm settling for you. I kept this from you because I was terrified of losing you specifically. You're someone that's capable of satisfying all of my needs. You're exactly the type of person I could marry and give my attention to exclusively, for the rest of my life, happily.

I never went back to the bi label because it implies that I would be interested in dating or having sex with a man, and I feel that that would be misleading of me. I'm only interested in connecting with women. Women with pussies. Those are the only people I feel such a deep attachment to, and I don't feel at all disgusted by their bodies. Lesbian is the only label that communicates that to people without having to go through all the nuances of my sexuality.

Do you agree that lesbian is the most accurate label for me? Can you forgive me for hiding until now? I hope so.

I do feel similarly to her - though I've obviously not done stuff with men or dated them for more than a few days/weeks - so I'd guess she's a bi woman who chooses to date women, she's not a lesbian and will never be one. You can't identify as a label just because you feel like it, this isn't a kinsey scale situation youre either gay straight or bi.
This is your choice and if you think it's worth the risk of her finding a man who she assumes loves her the way she wants(will never happen btw men don't love like women do so it'd just be her getting tricked), you can keep dating her. If not just break things off or take a break to think about this. She sounds very young and inexperienced although she has had a few relationships it seems like she just ended up in them by coincidence, she also doesn't sound mentally stable and neither do you because of how she played with your mind, this isn't a healthy relationship and it seems like she has several issues she unfortunately needs to get sorted before she dates anyone.
No one but you can make this choice, anon. She deceived you even though she loves you, if she is bi no matter how strong she loves you she will also feel attracted to men. That's just how she is.

Jesus Christ. That's a lot for her to dump on you at once, and so suddenly. I'm so sorry she lied to you all this time. If this is the sort of thing she can keep from you for months and months, deny again and again, and project onto you, then imagine what other psychosis she could put you through. Anon please cut your losses and run. You might love each other but this is seriously fucked up. You were up front with her from the start about never wanting to be with a bisexual, and instead of returning the favour and telling you right away about her past, she chose to mess with your head for months and then dump this guilt-trip sob story on you to excuse herself. It's up to you if you can ever forgive her, but I would advise you to get out of this relationship ASAP. Do not ever settle for a liar.

Thank you for telling me this. I can't talk to anyone in my life about this situation except you nonas so I'm deeply appreciative of any advice at all.

I didn't know her to be a cruel or conniving person but rather someone who's very afraid of consequences and manipulates situations because of that. She had a pretty shitty early life with parents whose affection was extremely conditional which probably contributed to why she's so insecure. Still, I don't think the way she was okay with messing with me can be excused.

I understand you empathise with bisexual women because you are one yourself and therefore don't even belong in this thread but for the love of God please stop making excuses for OP's girlfriend. I don't care how insecure you all are about your attraction to men. There is absolutely no reason to defend her when OP explicitly said she did not want to be with a bisexual EVER and she flagrantly ignored and overstepped this boundary. She even had the audacity to accuse OP of her own crimes, only to "come clean" in the most whiny and self-flagellating manner possible. It's disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to defend her in the lesbian thread of all places. OP came here for support, not more gaslighting and guilt tripping. Kindly GTFO

Girl I told her multiple times to break up but I also felt that I shouldn't have influenced OP too much as this isn't my relationship and I don't really know either of them well enough. I only commented here because I'm bi too and therefore know how OP's girlfriend is likely feeling. It's just not smart to date a bi woman and not expect her to dump you for a man, it happened to me with a bi gf and that's why I also mentioned that possibility.

My ex was like this as well, and she was absolute hell to live with. It got to a point where she was lying to me about every little thing and trying to pretend otherwise, even in situations where I wouldn't have been upset with her. Anyways, It's good that you have some insight into her behaviour so you can understand, to a certain extent, where she's coming from.
Still I agree that there's no excuse for her behaviour. It was not okay. She disregarded your very clear boundary and is likely to do it again. Have you responded to her letter yet? I know you said you were about to move in together; is it possible to halt these plans and stay where you are, or temporarily live with someone else?

Unfortunately I'm completely in love so I don't know how to break it off.

Also why are you so mad when I was just trying to understand OP's situation better?

Also you're fucking disgusting. A woman who got groomed isn't having a hard time accepting she's bi because of insecurity, it's because it reminds her of her past experiences. Yet it's true that still doesn't give her the right to deceive anon or emotionally dump her issues onto her like she's her therapist. Like honestly, calm down and check your words before you accuse a victim of grooming of being insecure of their sexuality just because you are.

It's so so difficult to leave the ones we love, even when they hurt us (maybe even especially so). It's terrible to see the life you wanted and were working towards suddenly fall apart like this… What helped me get away was realising it was all a sham from the start. It was never going to work. This dream was built on false pretences. Because she lied to you. She lied again and again, gleefully, without being forced, simply because it benefitted her. Nobody held her at gunpoint and forced her to say she's lesbian. She did that willingly, not caring about the consequences it would have for you or the relationship. Someone with such callous disregard for you does not deserve to be in your life.
Basically you just have to be brave. Just long enough to tell her it's over, make the arrangements to really end it (i.e. if she owes you a large amount of money or if you have contractual obligations together, etc. Otherwise imo it's really not worth it and you should just ghost/dump via text), and then cut contact forever. Make a list of reasons why you need to leave and reasons why you need to stay away. And if you can, get the support of friends and family who can back you up. You don't need to give them all the details, either, just let them know it's not going to work out and you need to lean on them for a bit. I believe in you. You can do what's right for you.

She's obviously still got her own issues from what she wrote to you and those issues will drain all of your energy as time goes on. Please don't let others use you like this emotionally, don't get into relationships with people who are clearly unstable. I don't know the extent of her lies but she obviously has unresolved trauma which will be much worse when it resurfaces. You should ideally take a break at least and think about it once you've cooled down a bit. You might love her but she tried to date men time and time again even though they ended up in failures, how can you be sure it won't happen again? Have you actually talked about this face to face?

Get help. A simple discourse on an imageboard shouldn't drive someone to be this upset. I've seen "lesbian" anons in lesbian threads discuss yaoi or other male media but they didn't get called out at all even though they were obviously not speaking about women. I guess it's ok to be attracted to men or anime boys long as you lie about being lesbian.

She dated one man at 14 for a few years LDR and then tried to sext her close friend once. Besides that, it's been crushes on women and a couple of girlfriends. Just wanna make sure I don't misrepresent her side of it.

But yes, ultimately it's very hard to find a reason to trust her. I'm not sure I'd have not fallen for her if she had just told me she's bi, I've always had an inkling but I kept telling myself I'm a shitty paranoid asshole. What fucks me up is that she felt okay hiding behind this excuse of "protecting me" or "loving me too much" when she made a very conscious choice at the very start to manipulate me.

She also just admitted via text that she did indeed check a man out right in front of me. I knew she did and I called it out at the time, she denied it. Ugh.

And at least 3 replies come to defend that anon and tell everyone anime boys or actors are totally different than irl men. Also you still didn't answer why you thought it was ok to call a grooming victim insecure for having issues coming terms with her sexuality. I get that you hate bisexuals or something but you really shouldn't make assumptions about a woman who's clearly unwell just because some bi girl fucked you over. She did lie to anon and anon should dump her ass and cuss her out if that helps but that doesn't mean you, a total sttanger, get to freely mock a woman whos clearly been sexually abused. You're disgusting for that and I won't reply further. I sincerely hope you get better.

Anon I do understand that but I don't think that's the only issue at hand. Even if she were a lesbian, her untreated mental health struggles would be terrible for you in the long run. I understand you love her and that's really incredible after what you've been through but I advise you not to keep this going unless she gets help. It might just be a few sexts with men for her but it's clear those short relationships have deeply hurt her and made her unable to bond with people in a healthy way. She shouldn't have lied or felt the need to lie to you, we don't even know how many things she possibly lied about so that you'd love her. As I said above I won't reply anymore but I hope for the best for you whichever choice you make but please consider your own mental health and the toll this had on you, she's the reason you're this stressed and if you keep dating her this won't be the last time she drives you to this state.

Wtf, ew. I am socially retarded and even I can see this is a red flag abort abort situation. If she has zero issues to so blatantly disrespect you, your boundaries and your relationship while you are standing right there she is not over men like she claims to be. Tbh it looks more like she is using women to run away from sexual trauma but the moment she will meet a nigel that's "not like other men" it's game over for whatever little lesbian charade she's putting on.
She was never "loving you too much" if she was checking out men right in front of you, period

Thank you. I'm still reading her type text after text about how the guy was just model-looking and I was so much more interesting than him but she just glanced, etc etc. There are tons of beautiful women out there and I still don't check them out in front of her, it's really not hard. I wouldn't even be offended if she accidentally looked at women for a moment, to be honest. Just the lesbian charade while implying she's afraid I'm the bi one is what really got me. I get the psychology behind all that she's doing but holy shit, I just made a huge life decision to join my life with hers and she's still obfuscating. not sure I can get over the cowardice of it all.

I'll be actively pursuing more lesbian friends and slowly open myself up to someone else coming to my life at this point. I'll be too weak to let her go at least for a while but I don't respect her like I did before. I told her to just be the febfem that she clearly is. I won't out her to her friends or family but I'm definitely not going to see her the same ever again.

It's perfectly ok to not want yo date bisexuals - but did you specify you only want to date "gold stars"? I do think it's a bit unfair to label her as bisexual based on one relationship (a LD one too) when she was a literal teenager. Some people need to search around for themselves to be sure, and for homosexuals it's common to "try to be straight". Be her sexuality whatever, lesbian or bi, but you need to break up. In your next relationship you need to make it EXPLICITLY clear you do not want anyone who has had sexual contact with men, I don't think you can find peace otherwise. Even if you believe she is bi, she might actually think she is a lesbian 100%, and doesn not even think she "tricked" you. I personally think it is a bit unfair to only classify "gold stars" as lesbians, like I said not everyone finds themselves right away, but if that is your definition you HAVE to make it clear next time.

It was never about being a goldstar, please. It was that she didn't try sex as self harm or in a coercion setting.

I don't understand why you hate the idea of being bi so much yet excuse dating or in some cases having sex with men under the umbrella of lesbianism. If a woman dated a man or fucked a man, she's bi, no way around it (I'm not counting literal sexual abuse or rape ofc).
If she gets excited to the visuals of a man imagined or real, she's bi. If she wanted to date a man for romantic reasons even once, she's bi. More than half of you are bi by definition, most of you have even dated or had sexual relations with men. That's not being closeted - it's being bi and only associating with men before you realize you also like women.

Agree. For me I draw the line at any sustained romantic relationship with a man, especially one that that includes kissing/touching/consensual physical intimacy. I claimed to ""like"" a boy in my first grade class probably because he looked like a girl kek just because I thought I was supposed to, but in the end barely interacted w him. Since then it was just moids hitting on me with zero success. The longest relationship I ever had with a guy was at 15 or 16, talking online for a few hours before ghosting because something felt wrong. All this interspersed with crushing on and dating other females, and my "boyfriends" were all FTM troons. I'm not saying it's easy to unlearn female socialisation, and it sucks to grow up in a world where your self worth correlates with male attention, but how hard is it to stay away from men? How do you ignore that awful feeling, ranging from an uncomfortable "oh no I simply cannot do this" to the red alarm screaming ABORT ABORT ESCAPE? …Unless you don't actually have it. If you're actually repulsed by men then you're not going to seek out, much less stay in relationships with them.

For me the reason I dated men was I didnt realize how I felt and thought I was straight but i'm not, and because I kind of wanted to be I guess. Im already a weirdo so I didnt want another label on myself. Not sure I can count as bi since I have tried before but I cant have a relationship with a man thats how disgusted I amn. Most men I dated I never even kissed I kind of just kept seeing them to see if my feelings would change but it just fizzled out to nothing. Ive tried using tinder to date women for years on and off to no avail but lately its going pretty well actually so I hope I can get a date soon. I know im attracted to women only and with men its kind of like a deep friendship that lacks attraction. I guess if that still means im bi its fine but I have started to see myself more as lesbian since its called a sexuality and mine doesnt lean towards men what so ever beyond friendship.

so today i went to pride with some friends and it got completely rained out. my friends were visiting from another city so i took them back to my apartment (it’s a tiny one room studio and only has a bed and no couch) and they took showers and napped in my bed whilst their clothes were drying. my girlfriend was visiting family so she wasn’t home and when i told her about what happened she assumed i let my friends sleep in the bed in their dirty wet clothes from the day and she only calmed down when i explained to her that i am a good host and a sane person so i obviously let them shower and borrow pajamas before letting them lay on our bed.

i am a nice person but my girlfriend thought i was a total doormat and would just let them do that. i am shocked that she would think of me or my friends that way. even when they were clean and dry they asked if it would be okay to lay down in the bed before doing so

maybe i am too nice usually. this has got me questioning everything. i just hate that my girlfriend assumes i am a useless incompetent person or that my friends are rude

In most of those weird relationships, the bi person does enjoy being with their partner sexually but also fucks samesex people on the side, not that different than a straight person cheating.

i think there's room for nuance here, lesbians can bloom late. but having heterosexual sex because you can't or won't come out of the closet isn't rape and is disrespectful to real victims. at best it's self harm

This is the most idiotic take I have ever read. Don't compare consensual sex with rape. Even if you're saying it was coerced sex you need to make that specification. Some of us on here have been through "corrective" rape which is not the same as a lesbian seeking out a male sex partner to see if they might be straight/bi because of comphet.

So funny how you fuck men without a shame but cry when someone tells you that's not how lesbians are. You know you're bi and that's why you get so triggered at the mention of bi women.
If you really dated simply because your family pressured you, you surely wouldn't have done anything sexual with a man. Also it's so weird how you willingly fuck men and then accuse call it rape, you're literally disrespecting women who actually got raped just because you can't admit you like dick and seek it out. You can't willingly sleep with someone and call it rape be you're insecure of your attraction to men.

anon specifically told her gf that she didn't want a sexual relationship with a bisexual, and her gf strung her along claiming to be lesbian because she was afraid of losing anon. whatever anon's reasons are, she didn't consent to having sex with a bisexual and explicitly told her gf this. i doubt cops or a court would care of the minutia here and would find no wrong-doing but as far as anon's non-consent is concerned its rape. at the very least its more rape-adjacent than a lesbian having consensual heterosexual sex

Telling someone they're bi if they willingly date and have consensual sex with men isn't trolling. Anon literally said she consented to straight sex but it was like rape.

We meet up to go out for lunch or something but the restaurant is closed so instead we get drive-thru and drive around and talk. We really hit it off and she tells me she's kinda happy our 'real' date fell through because she hates crowds and dealing with the public, I tell her I feel the same way and we bond over being hermits. The next time we meet up we just have a hermit date at my place. I cook for her and she meets my cat and loves him. We watch a movie and smoke a joint and make out a little but we don't go further yet because we've both had bad experiences in the past and wanna take it slow.

I'm a gold star lesbian myself but I just don't understand what's the big deal about anon's girlfriend being bi. I get the need to be with someone who fully understands you because I'd naturally rather date another lesbian myself, but my current girlfriend is bisexual and it never seemed like that huge of a problem to me. Maybe I'm just missing something in this story but the strange puritanism and melodrama about anon forcing her girlfriend to admit that she's a dirty bisexual and not a real lesbian seems a tad unhinged to me.

Also the weird unempathetic attitude towards women who have to have opportunistic relations with men in order to survive or who were groomed when they were still figuring their sexuality out is some polilez bullshit, I mean baby lesbians are still susceptible to being abused and influenced because they're still women and women are often conditioned to seek for male validation at whatever cost. It's not like some innate lesbian spirit just possesses you and stops the moid in his tracks or magically sews your vagina shut when he's forcing himself on you, I actually see red whenever I see this idiotic "oh a man raped you? then you're bi sweetie" narrative repeated because being denied your true self is a part of the lesbian experience for many women even today. Not every lesbian has the privilege of developing in a nurturing environment where being homosexual is an option.

No. 276167

>>276165
The most ironic thing is, the anon who said the bi girl raped OP for not telling op she's bi is probably bi herself. She said she slept with multiple men and it also was "rape"(used the exact same wording so it proves it's the same anon as before) because the men should've magically guessed she's a lesbian and totally not into it as she sucked them off. She also assumed the groomed girl was bi for getting groomed while admitting she willingly had sex with multiple men again and again. A lesbian could be groomed but a lesbian definitely wouldn't fuck multiple men willingly.
Op was lied to and should break up with her girlfriend but she wasn't raped. Neither was the bi girl in denial when she fucked men.

We were not broken up yet, I was just drunk and missed her. We talked a lot, cried a lot and yeah I did yall at her because she spent months telling me she thinks I'll turn out to be bi when she's the one who might be. I was in the right, so I said some really bad shit to her which she just took. I've since retracted what she didn't deserve to hear but some stuff she was absolutely so wrong on. In the end she never had anything with any male after that groomer and one night after being dumped be a woman where she tried to sext a male friend she knew liked her and hated it. I can't tell of shes kinsey 5 or just traumatized. I want to be there for her and see if we can make it work. She is not even a good liar, I secretly already noticed all the things she confessed to and saw this twist coming. I let it happen. The "gawking" at a guy in front of me is tough, but she wasn't staring and it wasn't a salacious look, I just saw that she noticed the man's above average looks. Is that me making excuses? Maybe!

She said she will never do this to a lesbian again but I couldn't convince her to explore and just figure her shit out. She said she hates the idea of herself interacting with a male and won't touch a dick. She has isolated instances of masturbating to lone men or men with other men but a het coupling seems like something she viscerally can't enjoy. Whether she is bi with trauma or a lesbian that got bad shit wired into her brain from years of grooming… idk. Does it matter? I deradicalized myself a bit on my fear of being left for a man. It has happened to me before with bi's and it'll hurt but I have a lot with her still.

So she was just recognizing a man as an objectively attractive human being just like you did? Honestly anon I don't understand why you're making such a scene about your girlfriend being possibly bisexual because she was abused by men in the past or even if she legitimately is bi, who cares? It sounds more and more like she loved you and was concerned about your militant alignment against dating bisexuals which made her lie about being a full on lesbian just to not hurt your feelings.

Straight escorts who were mostly coerced into industry aren't the same as a bi girls with long histories of dating men who are pretending to be lesbian itt. So many bi women are pretending to be lesbians and then shaming bi women because they remind them of their fraudulent identity. This never happens irl so I'm tempted to believe the anons doing this are chronically online polilezzies who hate themselves for being attracted to men.

That anons gf was groomed which means her experience doesn't mean she's bi, though a lot of women itt admitted to dating and sleeping with men willingly. They're bi. There's no such thing as a latebloomer lesbian, you don't cut off your tits or start hormones, you don't fuck men because of lesbianism.

When a woman's topless but wearing baggy jeans and a belt, it just looks great. One of my favorite looks. I find it kinda odd I don't see it much. Wearing lingerie doesn't do anything for my horniness for some reason. Maybe it looks better in person than in photos?
I wear mens jeans and a belt for my job, and wearing that while topless always makes me feel weird even if it's only like that for just a second while dressing.
It's something about being butch, not caring about what you wear, and the crotch musk from exercising. When I eat someone out (hopefully one day) I'm going to sniff real hard and hope she doesn't use extremely strong smelling soap.

Yeah the strange would-be gatekeepers in this thread who keep repeating "you're all bi" probably walk around with a chip on their shoulders about some kinsey 1 bihet leading them on and dumping them for a man, so in their head everyone who wasn't born the most lesbianest lesbian who ever lesbianed and instead took a left turn in a homophobic society in an attempt to force herself to like men is a cock addict preying on them. I really don't understand how it's so hard for them to believe that not all lesbians had a name for their feelings growing up, seeing how lesbianism isn't treated as nothing more than either girls experiencing puppy love girlcrushes or just a big sexual performance for moids. Like you said, plenty of FTMs are self-hating lesbians who wanted to become straight men to escape either their internalized homophobia or the oppression around them. Women are generally told that they're not supposed to be happy in a relationship or enjoy sex because they should focus on sacrificing themselves for men. Sometimes it feels like the stars have to be aligned correctly in order to grow up as a healthy, balanced lesbian who isn't crushed by the weight of the world giving her the options of either looking for the magical dick to cure her or just stop being a woman altogether. It's one thing to call bullshit on someone claiming to be a lesbian after multiple balanced and happy heterosexual relationships with men but entirely another if she was groomed and/or abused during her formative years in her past or tried to force herself into fixing herself.

NTAYRT but I've been around the block in my 31 years and I've found that quite a lot of women enjoy the natural "musk" of a woman. I had a girlfriend who would jump my bones after I came back dripping sweat after my morning run and quite a few flings that started out as sweaty encounters at a boxing gym or on the dancefloor of a gay club. My wife also loves to see me sweating working out or (preferably, in her words) doing manual labour at our house; she finds it wholesome and attractive and I feel exactly the same way when she's working on the house too. I think it's a natural urge, pheromones and all that shit I don't quite understand properly. If anons are equating natural musk to something disgusting only a moid could be into and talk about then they need to check themselves for internalised misogyny tbh. They also need to stop chimping out when dykes talk about sex. Maybe sapphic wlw tumblr would be more their speed, kek.

Yeah going to agree with other anons, this "crotch musk sniffing" is a moid tier paraphilia that reminds me of their obsession with female armpit hentai.

Vulva stank anon here. I didn't remember the soap infection issue in the post, and I was only thinking of "something that could cover the smell", but I've heard smelling agents cause a lot of problems anyway so thanks for the information. They're marketed only to women/girls where I live.

My post read like a moid post, but that's only because it was A) a virgin's sexual fantasy B) I have a a type of Autism. These things are often Male traits/only Males are known to have them, but they're not exclusive to them. If I referenced penetration or having a beard or what have you, then it would've been a moid post since women can't do that during sex. Even incessant moaning could be some nonna's favorite thing. Knowing the difference is good since we're all anons. Not only could litterally any anon be a moid, any could be a bot ran by a moid. Feel free to voice concerns, of course, if you see a moid post. I just wanted to throw in something else other than the Bisexual-or-not thread because I couldn't care less, people on this site can only gleam so much from some posts. It seems like that needs to be worked out offline.

She did call herself a lesbian while being in a relationship with a man, on top of being mad at lesbians when they didn’t want to let someone’s boyfriend into lesbian spaces. Also iirc she compared man-hating lesbians to nazis, iirc “they treat men like nazis treated jews” kek. I hope some anon who has read her books can tell you more, this is just what I’ve seen on tumblr. And yes, she has never had a same-sex relationship either but was writing similarly to Adrienne Rich aka “lesbianism is a political choice and it means centering women in your life (also dragging your nigel to lesbian bars btw)”. I think if you google “dworkin political lesbianism”, you will find a long tumblr post about it with her quotes included tdlr - radfems invented political lesbianism and yet dykes still get shocked when radfem spaces are infested with polilezes

No. 277029

>>277004
She had a same-sex relationship with a woman named Joanne, and she also had a sexual relationship with her husband John, so she's Bisexual. Here's what she said at a lesbian rally about it:
"Second, being a lesbian means to me that there is an erotic passion and intimacy which comes of touch and taste, a wild, salty tenderness, a wet sweet sweat, our breasts, our mouths, our cunts, our intertangled hairs, our hands. I am speaking here of a sensual passion as deep and mysterious as the sea, as strong and still as the mountain, as insistent and changing as the wind."
full thing: http://www.nostatusquo.com/ACLU/dworkin/OurBloodII.html . Make of it what you will.
I believe she was sexually attracted to women but intertwined it with her feminism when she could, when they aren't the most compatible. Sexuality doesn't have moral limits like feminism does so they're bound to clash on principle. For example, Dworkin may support a lesbian couple at first but won't when one of the women is revealed to be abusive.

I find that some "chapstick" looking women are often interested in GNC styling but aren't confident enough to try or may just not possess the aesthetic skills to even construct a look. Not saying you should get with someone with the intent to change them but sometimes you do run into unexpected gems, they just need a little reassurance. For instance I know a woman who dressed super low key but not really GNC. Turns out she'd been told she's boyish and plain all her life so she never had the courage to try the styles she had interest in. She knew that people approve when she's dolled up but hated doing it. I helped her come out of her shell a bit and she's now a lot happier with her expression as a GNC woman.

I do think it's best to open yourself up to appreciating different people in general. What matters to you the most? Life goals need to add up, politics, looks, sense of humor, hobbies, family situation, etc etc etc. There are so many parameters and I think fashion has got to be one of the lowest things on that long list of things that need to align.

You're definitely right about a lot of us needing a hype woman. I've been butch my whole life but held on to my shoulder length hair as my last bastion of femininity. I'm tall and muscular and regularly get read as male so I was a retard and kept a haircut I didn't like, thinking it would soften my edge a lil bit. Well that all went out the window when the big C came to town. I had a large part of a brain tumour removed and then radio and chemo and ended up having to shave my head. Thing is though, when I looked in the mirror I actually liked what I saw. In the midst of all that horrible, life threatening shit I actually felt a lil surge of confidence from seeing myself rock a buzzcut. As my hair started to grow back post treatment I thought "oh well, back to long-ish hair and business as usual" but my wife used to be a barber in a kweerio salon and specialised in giving lesbian haircuts so she convinced me to let her cut my hair when it grew out a bit and holy shit, I loved it! I felt handsome as fuck! My wife loved it too and constantly reminded me that she did and although I was nervous about looking even more butch she really helped me to prioritise my own feelings. I also got more into suits thanks to my wife and I generally care a lot less about how straight people perceive me now. Sometimes us GNC dykes just need buttering up and reminding that we only have one life and should spend it dressed how we want. Many gfs and flings have helped me along the way with this and I love every single one for helping me to present how I want.

>277129

I'd apologise profusely if I did that too. It's completely normal to, IMO. I can see where your gf is coming from as some women really are like "oh fuck, I bumped into this dyke, I better tell her we won't be having sex because you know what those lesbians are like!" but she's probably just on high alert to be polite with it only being the second meeting. It's no biggie, IMO.

Ah I know how you feel, that masc confidence. I overcompensated when struggling to come to terms with myself with hyperfemininity. It felt so uncomfortable. Didn’t expect that dressing masculine would give me so much more confidence, that I would feel like myself again.
The thing is I used to make fun of butch looking women because my family did it too. Not harassment, obviously, but like ‘haha she looks so gay’ at masc women on tv, honestly I just wanted to fit in, throw them off my trail. Actually, I agreed with them ‘yeah lesbians have issues and probably don’t exist’. Idk if it’s
bc i was with my slavic family, they just say what they think, politically incorrect, often homophobic, but it makes me extra insecure now. I do want their approval- especially from other women. I feel most comfortable and myself looking masc, but i don’t want to look like a butt of the joke dyke, or be excluded from womanhood. I feel scared to look too dykish in front of them. I knew an eastern european lesbian who was totally rejected by her mother. The women especially will be judgemental. Just realised i accidentally bloggerinoed again, sorry guys

There's nothing to be embarrassed about, I'm sure a few other nonnas in this thread haven't been with a woman yet or are virgins. It's good that you care about your future partner's pleasure! Not sure if I'm the best person to give advice since I'm only a year older than you and have only had sex with one person so far in my life, but I think your first obstacle is finding out what YOU yourself enjoy and exploring your body a bit more. Not every woman is the same of course but we generally like the same things, and I think familiarizing yourself with what brings you pleasure is a good place to start. How do you like to stimulate your nipples, clit, how do you feel about penetration and do you like it a certain way, etc.
Don't just touch your genitals or nipples when you masturbate, try rubbing or lightly scratching other parts of your body. I remember not enjoying receiving from my ex since she put minimal effort into touching parts of my body that weren't my pussy- it felt detached, if that makes sense?
Generally if you enjoy it she'll enjoy it too. Pay attention to her noises and reactions, and don't be afraid to get handsy or put your mouth places- I know almost every woman out there, me included, has a huge weakness for neck kisses/biting, or any kind of mouth action on sensitive areas- they don't even have to be erogenous. My ex liked it when I lightly bit her inner thighs.
Believe me I've been in your shoes and it sucks. Sex can be intimidating, ffs I'm still slightly intimidated at the idea of doing it with someone else in the future, but the important thing is that you do it with someone you're comfortable with and can laugh about it with. You don't have to do anything that you don't want to, just don't be a pillow princess kek. This is kinda general so if you want anything specific feel free to ask.
Good luck Nonna, hope you find the butch of your dreams to fingerbang!

From reading this thread I have to say,
That honestly at this point I am thoroughly convinced that all of this lesbian "purity" nonsense that is dividing us is the work of moids/trannies posing as lesbians.
I honestly have no problems with late bloomers. I don't care when they came out/why it took them so long to figure themselves out and I'm certainly not going to interrogate them on their past and if they were involved with men and shit.
From my experience once late bloomers figure their shit out they do not go back to men. It's not my place to accuse them of being bisexual, as if that's a bad thing or deal breaker.
The wlw dating pool is small enough as it is. This discourse is so prevalent online but irl most wlw don't hyperfocus on this shit so much.

Do any of you ever have problem with other lesbians/bisexuals thinking you're supposed to be sexually available all the time just for being a lesbian, especially a butch? Like because the dating pool is so small and shallow everyone needs to compensate for it and just be willing to be a hypersexual sex demon willingly putting up with straight out sexual harassment? I'm pretty much traumatized by treatment like this, as in people expecting me to just tolerate groping, catcalling and being told how fuckable I am and instead I should just be flattered by it when in reality it feels degrading. I'm a very private person and I hate how my sex drive is absolutely ruined by being sexualized in public so much ever since my teens. Yes I know I'm attractive, but what the hell gives one the right to yell out loud in front of everyone how hard they would love to be fucked by me as if I was some man lite doing all the work?

Honestly the majority of bi women and unfortunately some lesbians view us butches as bottom of the barrel options. They're attracted to us, sure, but we're masculine therefore automatically toxic and should feel honoured that we're even considered an option by them. When they come down from their high horse and decide to throw us filthy peasants some pussy they expect us to be at their beck and call and put up with shitty behaviour including sexual harassment and a medieval attitude on gender non-conformity. I've worked as a bouncer for gay bars in the past and have been groped and talked dirty to which is seen as fine but the moment I lay down boundaries or shake off their touch I'm being aggressive or "not taking a joke". Now imagine a butch woman openly groping a feminine woman, completely different reaction. I still have to pinch myself when I remember I'm married. Dating as a lesbian is rough enough, dating as a butch is hell. I'm so thankful to have a GNC wife who gets it because I've played the man lite, dildo on legs role for far too fucking long. I really wish I could go back and tell baby dyke me to be more confident and not allow myself to be treated like a freak who should accept shitty women because as rare as they are, there are women out there who truly love us and don't see us as mini moids. I recommend seeing if there are any gatherings for GNC women/butches near you. I've met a lot of good friends at these gatherings and even straight GNC women get the same harassment sometimes because they're often assumed to be gay. It's very refreshing to be surrounded by GNC women when sometimes it feels like we all live under rock far, far away from each other.

Thank you nonny, reading your reply was cathartic. I've always been treated with respect by other butches and they always respect my boundaries, they're always such gentlewomen.

I've been pigeonholed into being the dominant male lite who serves them like a sex slave and loves being sexually harassed in return, only because I'm masculine presenting.

I think I am quite okay at eating pussy (at least the last woman I was with I made cum several times in a row every time lol). My tips are 1. ask what she likes and wants (duh) 2. when you are eating her out/fingering her etc, listen to the sounds she makes. Even if someone is not very verbal or doesn't moan a lot, you can still hear if they actually enjoy something by their breathing and body language.

Also,just a personal preference, but my favourite position/way to have lesbian sex is tribbing (?) with a vibrator. Like hugging close legs spread apart with a vibrator between your vaginas. It's so easy, and you don't necessarily even need to take your clothes off lmao.

I honestly wouldn't mind getting sexual attention from women, kinda dried up for me when dating apps became big and I'm more on the hypersexual side probably. I hate when people go "step on me" though, I don't want to step on anyone. Other than that I still get treated like a man, all initiative and asking out has to come from me, having to walk the tightrope of toxic masculinity accusations while also being expected to act man lite. I would like to feel (sexually) desired, but not in a weird violent or man lite way. Instead of always having to message first, do the asking out, being expected to be able to mindread whether someone is interested irl and getting shit for not doing anything. Why can't people just normally tell me they're interested without resorting to "step on me" or expecting mindreading?

>Why can't people just normally tell me they're interested without resorting to "step on me" or expecting mindreading?
Yes! I've had so many women just get mad at me and later gloat how I missed my chance, all because I had no idea she was interested in me and expected me to take the initiative because apparently being masculine makes me a man, so I should also pick up on weird clues like "step on me" that sound like a pornsick bihet oneliners. I don't want to risk getting my heart broken and be ridiculed for being a predatory lesbian for the sin of showing interest in a woman unless I'm sure.

>all initiative and asking out has to come from me, having to walk the tightrope of toxic masculinity accusations while also being expected to act man lite.

>“Write about how, as soon as butches were no longer the scourge of dykedom for aping masculinity, or whatever that baloney was, it became faggot butches who were scorned and derided. Everyone understands butch/femme because it seems familiar, like Ozzie and Harriet but with better hair and more pussy. Everyone understands femme on femme, even though you don’t see it often because it doesn’t read queer, you know, but it’s in the first images of ‘lesbian love’ most of us see, in porn or on television. Two long haired pretty girls smooching in a daring fashion wherever they happen to be. No one’s threatened by that, not the dykes, not the men, nobody, but if I want to kiss my butch anywhere, I’d be damned sure of my audience, or better yet, better be sure we don’t have one.
Or when Lea Delaria said she's not a "fag" when asked whether she was attracted to Ruby Rose, picrel.

I think my friends are ignoring me whenever I say I'm a lesbian because they're still holding out hope that I get with a male friend who has liked me for about 8 years. Yes I've told him no, yes I've told my friends I'm not interested in men multiple times.

Ditch them anon, they're on some pickmesha shit that will only bring you down. My sister had a similar thing happen to her where this creepy moid in our friend group wanted to date her so badly he would shake with nerves and started crying when she said no. Everyone was acting like my sister was a bitch for saying no and she should have just given him a try. We were all high schoolers then so I kind of get the stupidity but they're not friends if they consciously or unconsciously feel that that mans emotions and wants are more important than your own.

A polilez told me that it's just an outdated way of speaking about it. While actually reading up on the history of it, "born this way" or at least "stuck this way, it's not a choice" in some shape or form was already accepted by sexuologists and mentioned by lesbians in the early 20's. Working class lesbians in the 40's-60's never even thought of 'Choice vs born this way', nor did they call themseleves lesbian though. The polilez framework is truly an (upper) middleclass thing from the 70's. They reject "born this way", because sexuologists agree with that and a broken clock can't be right sometimes according to them. Also, what is the logic of coopting a sexual orientation, then complaining about the concept of attraction and then that it's not political enough. Just say political celibacy then?

i guess it can be summed up as

Ok I read it. It would be nice for you to write your own opinion too. I agree with other annon why do they have to coopt the word lesbian. Also bisexuals exist. But like several anons have said before why do we have to constantly navel gaze at the purity of lesbians/women. Gay men don't constantly question each others validity. I know why we do it I'm just kind of getting tired of it.

No. 277940

Also I want to note that lesbian feminist peers in France disagreed with the American ones for the insisting on the "choice" thing and shitting on "lifelongs". Among other disagreements like American polilez hating butches etc. While Dutch ones agreed with the Americans. So it's not even guaranteed that everywhere this was a common framework among middle class lesbians.
>>277936
Yeah but by their logic two straight women living together as friends while calling themselves lesbian radfems are living a lesbian lifestyle. However a lesbian who isn't out as either a radfem or lesbian, isn't living a lesbian lifestyle. So if you're not already being cancelled irl for being a "Terf", you're not a real lesbian according to them. They have a problem with the idea of "lifelong", prior to coming out as both a lesbian and radfem, they think you shouldn't be considered a "real lesbian". So it's not like they're doing any less purity testing than we do nowadays, just in a weird way. If anything polilez are the ones advocating for self IDing as lesbians, when many are just straight politically celibate women.

This post is just a long way of saying "yes I'm a polilez, what about it" with the retarded assumption of lesbianism being just some magical sisterhood mindset, not a legitimate sexuality.

I told everyone about my girlfriend and I have come out as gay in 2016.
Fast forward to now, I'm still out and about while my gf has still not come told her parents about me but has come out as gay. I don't like it in particular but thought about how everyone else sees it? My gf says that it's because her parents have prejudice about certain ethnicities…

Piggybacking the discussion about telling your family, how would you feel if your partner didn't tell about you to her parents? My family is homophobic (like the "gays are disgusting pedo degenerates" type) and I haven't even come out to them myself ever so there's no way I could tell them about my girlfriend. I would be fine if my girlfriend kept me a secret in a similar situation but I know for a lot of people it's a dealbreaker and they don't want to live in secrecy. I would be hurt if the family was accepting of gays and their child's sexuality yet they still chose not to introduce me to them though.

I personally would refuse to stay with someone interested in keeping me a secret. I'm 28, did the work on facing my family and seeing which relatives are willing to understand and cut out the ones that don't. I would feel frustrated with a gf that doesn't have the mental fortitude to confront her family on things that matter. That tells me she's subservient to bigoted people and cares too much about the opinions of those that aren't even compassionate enough to love her the way she is. Hiding your gf because of any prejudice from your family is confirming that their sensibilities matter more than your dignity imo. Of course, if hate crimes are a possibility then going no contact and not coming out fully is also ok.

I feel disgusting because of my sexualization of women. It makes me feel bad that I view women this way. Also it's hard to know if my feelings are normal because I have nobody who I can ask about this. Honestly I feel as predatory as a scrote.
Just today I was walking to a grocery store and saw this one woman riding a bike. She had the biggest, tightest ass I ever saw and wore super tight leggings. What's worse, her leggings were wet near her pussy, I guess it was sweat from riding a bike. I honestly had a near-death experience and forced myself to look away. I felt really guilty because I view other women as sex objects.

In principle, finding someone hot is not an act of violence and as long as you don't harass people (either by staring or verbally etc) it's not a big deal. If you also see women as full human beings with interesting inner worlds, you're fine. Sexual attraction towards only women as a woman is the core thing about being a lesbian, so of course you'll think someone's really hot on occasion. Noticing details is a very common thing for us anyway, most women can distill their attraction to fine points like
>the sliver of elbow skin you see between the sleeve and a watch
If you took a gander at the original female gaze thread. I'm not sure if /m/ ever recovered but the "revival" thread is utter ass because pornsick femcels colonized this whole website with their incessant husbandoposting across dozens of threads, on every single board, even in threads where it's entirely off-topic. Anyway, feeling guilty or ashamed is not going to help you or the poor, poor women you thought were cute. Just move on, don't make people uncomfortable but stop worrying so much.

I personally have history of being sexually harassed by both men and other women so I really don't appreciate people talking about women like they were objects to grade. I would feel extremely uncomfortable if someone was eyeing down my crotch and ass on the street and telling about it in detail on a public website, it would be an entirely different thing to say something more respectful and neutral like "I saw a beautiful woman with a great body cycling past me and I was immediately attracted to her" instead of describing the wet spot near my vagina and my fat ass like a horny scrote. Seriously this constant lewd thirstposting and the visceral autistic rage directed people not appreciative of it is curious as fuck and looks and sounds like an attempt at astroturfing.

Cool, if those are the terms you prefer to keep things in you are absolutely free to do so. Some of us like to think of the details and are also free to post about that stuff if we like. Anon didn't go up to the woman to tell her about it, did not doxx her or post a creepshot of her where she can be identified, didn't stare at her and make her uncomfortable. Her account of how she experienced seeing a sexy woman has absolutely zero effect on that stranger's life. You need to understand that you have a hypersensitivity thing regarding this kind of thing (which I respect, as a sexual assault survivor myself who still goes through street harassment regularly) and just stop reading when something upsets you. It's not that hard, it's certainly not un-lesbian.

>>278193
The anon >>278019 who posted the story that triggered everyone wasn't merely making a hornypost, it was also about her shame towards how she feels. The sexual fantasy thread isn't a good place for that, as she's looking for community on a broader topic. And guess what, a bunch of polilezzes dogpiled on her and confirmed her insecurity.

Regular women know how degrading it is to be sexually objectified by strangers so they usually don't wish to impose it on others or at least are apologetic to a degree instead of this retarded "stop being a prude reee" mindset.

I am so happy to hear that! I think we might as well try, even if there are grains of truth in what >>278217 is saying- thelchat is nice, but it has a pretty normie vibe, celebrity obsession, back and forth bickering, you know. I love this website but there’s a lot i don’t really relate to. So we could have a board that’s chill, with a sprinkling of imageboard retardation, just for us.
Nonnie, I like your ideas. It’s cool that there are people with dev skills here, and the idea of pre selected images is a good one- or even trusted user privileges, such as image posting that the admin could grant. I think that could keep things safe.

met a really cool girl on a lesbian dating app (unfortunately "kweer" friendly but i just ignore the transbians and couples) and we texted literally all day for 2 days straight, we talked about everything. now im feeling confused because in the past few days her texts have been way more sporadic and less detailed than at the start and we arent having the same kind of long conversation, just a "good morning" "hows work" "do you have plans" kind of talk each day. right now its been about 7 hours since she texted me last. i know its dumb but since we connected so hard on the first couple of days i got really attached to her already and really want to keep chatting but now shes kinda ignoring me? another factor is that shes away at the moment on holiday so she doesnt have as much time as normal to text me (shes hanging out with friends and doing things etc) but it was such a drastic difference in her texts from the start… what should i do? should i double text her again just to see if shes got plans tonight?

I traveled an hour to meet people all the time back when I was making new friends in the city I live in. I don't think an hour travel is that weird for a date with someone you like well enough.

To the point where it's almost a dealbreaker if a woman shaves, which I kind of feel like an asshole about because it's shallow but I hate the texture of stubble.

I'm also obsessed with sniffing my woman's hair and neck, where her scent is mixed in with mine. Recently she accidentally flashed me while we were in a scenic public place at sunset and the light filtering through her milky skin made her pink nipples glow in the sun's last breath… Ugh. I wanted to suck on them so bad but she quickly covered up when she realized she had ridden her top too far up and we ran back home to avoid the strangers that may have seen it. Now I wanna have daylight sex with her in private but we have no space to do that in. Oh the way sunlight plays with her glowing complexion!

Awww you and your gf sound so cute wtf I want that for myself one day. Sadly even if I hit this girl up again I don't think it'll go anywhere since rn I'm living and working in a very seasonal beach area until I go back to college, she told me her situation is similar lol. On the bright side she wasn't working there so I was able to avoid the awkwardness. I do feel bad though, part of me just wants to hit her up to explain myself- I recently got two jobs so I have no time to myself let alone going on dates.

Though, I did decide to hit up my friend from college who I have a crush on about a month ago to tell her I was watching Arcane which she kept telling me to watch when we were on campus together. I'm awful at watching shows but it was a perfect reason to talk to her again (plus it's VERY good holy shit) and now we've been talking for the past… month and a half iirc? So hopefully THAT goes somewhere, I tested the waters with flirting (told her I thought she would look nice in a skirt) and her reaction wasn't negative so I'm gonna take that as a small victory.(:))

I have a lot of sympathy for detransitioners and I tend to agree with a lot of their views, so it's not something I'm opposed to ideologically, but I'm not attracted to most masculine women, so it might not work out. I know most hormone effects besides the face, genitals, voice (which I can tolerate), stay the same while other physical changes like fat distribution go away, but I see some of them still struggle with facial hair.
I also couldn't date someone who had any surgeries like no breasts or a fake penis.

I had a really lovely sex dream about a girl I was pining with years ago but eventually ended it due to my own internalized homophobia and it still feels like a kick in the stomach. I still follow her socials and she makes my heart throb even to this day but she rightfully got over me being such a fucking tease and moved on with her life. I hate being semi-closeted because I feel like I will live forever alone for the rest of my life because I can't rip off the bandaid and just be openly gay. I'm too afraid of being disowned by my family, thought of as a degenerate by the society around me and the woman I love breaking my heart by leaving me for a man because it's happened so many times around me.

I'm perhaps too giddy about being out and visible but it has opened up so many doors for me that any street harassment or family hostility has been completely worth it. If your area is truly unsafe then obviously you're not a shit person or a coward for not being out but if you're not in physical danger, I say take the plunge. The tolerance of straight people isn't worth missing out on real lesbian connections. If you're not visible, you won't find community.

Have you ever gone to a woman's house and suddenly completely lost interest in her due to her lack of tidiness? I am absolutely by no means a clean freak but I went to the apartment of a girl I've been seeing casually for the first time and to get to her bed I was wading literally shin-deep in dirty laundry and alcohol bottles. She shrugged it off by saying she worked 5 days this week, bitch so did I, I didn't forget how to use a laundry hamper and a bin ffs. The bottom of my grey socks were black after walking on her landing carpet.
She also pressures me to drink more than I'd like and then makes fun of me for being a lightweight (after I'm drunk off of an entire bottle of wine) so I don't think it was meant to be. Disappointing because she's really cute but this is more than I can handle kek.

It's finally happened. I'm trying to write this in chronological order. This is a LDR of 7 years btw.

>friend died tragically/dog died/ possible failure of job exam/ dealing with fire emergency/ family members sick

>gf dissappears for a month
>I text her every day to see if she'll talk to me
> finally talks to me and tells me it's bc she is busy with her new job. Every day she felt guilty about not talking to me so it piled up. She likes hanging out with her friends.
> tells me she needs a biopsy for cancer
> tells me she has no response when I asked her if she loved me. And that she needs more time.

I can't believe I wasted 7 Years with her. Should I stay or should I go? I'm still in love with her and everything hurts.im concerned about her diagnosis but she didn't even flinch about it. She gets drunk often now.
I even had the idea of going to go see her to see if she's ok or talk yo her but I don't want to seem crazy. Any advice would be appreciated.

While my impulse is to give her the benefit of the doubt, what truly matters for you is that whether your needs were met. Doesn't mean she is evil or unkind necessarily, just an objective look at whether you were fulfilled in a time of need. Answer is obviously that you weren't when you needed support at a time of loss and she made it about herself b saying she felt guilty.

What do you need now?

Love yourself nonnie. It's gonna hurt for a long time to break it off but someone who ghosts you for a month after a seven year relationship and won't say she loves you back does not deserve the love you're giving her or the support you're offering. Not to mention that a long distance relationship where one person can't be bothered to even text back won't work - LDRs can fall apart easily even with good communication, which this is not. You deserve to be loved whole-heartedly.

Sage for rant; I have no problem with bisexuals, but I honestly wish these "inclusive queer" types would shut the fuck up about genitals have nothing to do with sexuality. The vast majority of people do not have an intersex condition where their genitals are ambiguous (and even then people are still male or female, it's just a genetic issue), and someone's phenotype correlates to what genitals they have the vast majority of the time. Up until this gender madness became more mainstream, everybody knew what someone meant when they said "I like women/men", because it was understood that woman=female=having a vulva and man=male=having a penis.

I thought it was Trans Politics 101 that gender is a social construct? Animals don't ask each other what their pronouns are when they're in heat (especially not the ones who mate with the same sex). When I was figuring out who and what I liked during puberty, I wasn't trying to oppress transgenders (a literal minority, I never even met one until I was an adult) when I realized that male bodies and penises were not appealing to me and never would be? And even if this was a "preference" that was caused by being abused, my therapist has told me that I deserve consent and can say no to whoever I want.

I read this post when I started looking into more gender critical stuff and it was years ago, it kind of turned my world upside down because when I was a libfem I saw lesbians just say "I'm penis repulsed, so I would only date a post op transwoman" as a save, and I figured I would use that excuse too if I was asked, since most TIMs don't get surgery and the ones who do are usually attracted to men only.

I think the insidious part IMO is that the OP says if you had sex with a woman before then you'd realize it's different. But a lot of lesbians nowadays are very inexperienced and I have friends that are aged between 20-30+, and half of them have dated or had sex and most never were in a LTR. I'm on the older side and have problems finding someone my age to just hook up with. Why? Because our apps are full of men and women who want threesomes, our LGB spaces were rebranded to be "queer, inclusive", the few lesbian bars opened are also inclusive and allow anyone. There isn't a real place to explore homosexuality IME unless you're really lucky and have a lot of gay friends IRL that aren't queerios.

A lot of these girls will be told it's the same and believe it because they never experienced what actual sex is a woman is like. I knew a girl who was pressured to date TIMs as a teenager since she was told they're women too and it traumatized her so much (and the TIM assaulted her), she was too scared to have actual sex with a real woman. And she met more women who went through this too later.

You are def right, couple the pressure on lesbians to be inclusive with misogyny and misinformation around vaginas and you will get young girls getting poisonings and infections from getting exposed to mtf's poop bacteria festering amholes. I can see how especially underage girls (and we know tims are predators and I don't put it past for some 30yo to prey on a teen lesbian) can just end up thinking that the shit stink or weird inside is just normal "variation". I mean when I was a teenager I thought there was something wrong with me because my pussy didn't stank like fish since everyone was making "jokes" about how vaginas stink and nowadays on top of that you get TRA's reeing at kids about penises being female genitalia and Teen Vogue (? maybe it was some other magazine) making articles on lesbian sex 101 that includes anal sex and prostate stimulation

AYRT, that's true, but as I said most TIMs don't get surgery and the ones who do are gay men trying to become "straight women". I actually hardly see "lesbian sex ed" that talks about neo"vaginas" (bc only less than 10% of TIMs get surgery), but on the flip side, a lot of young lesbians are being coerced into dealing with actual penis. There's so much stuff saying that penises are like strap-ons (or that if you're willing to use a dildo then a penis is the next logical conclusion), or that you can just have sex without touching his penis or let him do things to you. That was basically what my friend who was assaulted and other lesbians who were coerced by TIMs said it was like.

That's kind of why some lesbians just lie and say they would "only date a post op transwoman" because there are hardly any "transbians" who actually do it. It's a lie to save face, but as that Tumblr post described it, it wouldn't be an enjoyable experience either since it's an inverted penis with nothing connecting on the inside. It's like choosing between vomit and poop.

I found a chapter about medieval lesbians, so I'm sharing some tidbits
>The main problem with lesbians, according to the church, was that they were involved with secret girly touching and led other women away from marriage and husbands. Tsk tsk , for shame. Canonists didn’t really know what to do with them, and often just looked the other way and focused on more pressing matters, like whose cow was allowed to eat the grass on the verge between two properties and whether or not the bread was undersized.
>By the fourteenth century, the mumblings and veiled comments developed into full-blown angst. Women who loved women in any other way than a firm, platonic friendship were now viewed with hostility. Women were cautioned not to form strong friendships with other women, just in case an unnatural attachment might blossom. Sermons were needed. Fingerpointing happened. Name-calling became nastier and more frequent.
>In this respect, sinning with a close female friend carried the same punishment as sinning alone, which is a bit surprising. Normally solo activities were slightly less punishable offences than group ones. Fasting for penance was defined as fasting for all holy days, not every day of the week. Mind you, there was an extremely large number of holy days. Saint’s days, which made up public holidays, numbered around sixty a year, a lot of time for reflection of sins.

Yeah she basically stopped talking to me when my life became upside down.

I haven't met her in rl yet she kept giving every excuse and she had very possessive parents that prevented her from being close to others. She recently moved which she was going to buy me my ticket before she stopped talking to me.

I feel like I'm getting older, I'm 29 and I'm turning 30 next year. I have always played it safe and always tried to do the right thing…so for myself, I bought a plane ticket to confront her to have a conversation on what happened. I know it will be an eventual heartbreak but if im going to suffer I want to do it properly so I can be over her completely and not have the "what if" for the rest of my life.

Yeah people often say it's a modern invention, but Katherina Hetzeldorfer was executed in 1477 for female homosexuality and she made a strap.
>“She made an instrument with a red piece of leather, at the front filled with cotton, and a wooden stick stuck into it, and made a hole through the wooden stick, put a string through, and tied it round; and therewith she had her roguery with the two women….”
There also was Bertolina, who was charged in 1295 for the use of them.
The oldest known relic that’s believed to be a strap-on is from the Upper Paleolithic Period, 30,000 B.C. Personally I've never used a strap nor do I think it's essential. It's interesting however how old the practice is.

Been seeing a girl for a few weeks and I can't tell what's going on. In person she seems very interested, takes note of little things I say or do, proposes fun things to do and plans ahead, even told me she's deleted every dating app and isn't seeing anyone else because she's seeing me. But then I get some mixed signals when she's away: last week after the date I suggested we saw each other again on the next day or the day after before I went on vacation, and suddenly she said she was busy with a friend even though she didn't say anything about it when I talked about it during the date, and even though during said date she invited me to stay the night? Was she gonna kick me out on the next day? I don't know, it felt off, especially because our end-of-date goodbye felt very rushed on her part, like she couldn't wait to leave. She's also a very slow texter with me, sometimes she reads my message but doesn't reply for a day or more, though she uses her phone. At the same time, she already planned a date for the week I go back from the vacation.

Obviously it's wonderful that women are successful and I'm not trying to complain about that, I just wish it was easier to find women at my class level too. It's hard to watch my straight friends who are also poor get into relationships super easily with other poor straight people. Where are all the wageslave lesbians?

I've had multiple close friends who were, so I kind of understand the "mindset" for how it goes on. Almost all of them were "TWAW" liberals who thought they should give him a chance (but some I talked to were fooled on dating apps or they were initially friends), and all had a denial phase and still used "she" when talking about him (I did the same thing when I had an emotionally manipulative TIM friend), but after a while they realized it was a man all along.

Is your GF some kind of gender-critical or open to the idea? Because a radfem blogger made a zine of artwork and writings from women who were hurt by TIMs (and not all of them are "transphobic", there are submissions from women with different kind of opinions), and she also has a "politically neutral" support group for it (similar to the zine, women with all kinds of opinions are allowed, but I assume that if you're in it, you're at least tolerant of radfems or gender-criticals).

Piggybacking on this, what's you anons' stance on your girlfriend spending a lot of one-on-one time with a female friend?
Would you be okay with them having sleepovers, staying at each other's apartment all day or seeing each other more often than you see her? When is it "too much" for you, and does her sexuality matter? For example, would you be more upset at the friend being a lesbian/bi/an ex and staying at her place all day vs the friend being straight (that you know of) and them sleeping in the same bed alone? I feel like while in the case of a straight couple it'd be a definitive cause of breakup for most, with a lesbian couple + girl friend it's harder to draw a line, because they could actually just be "besties".

I get assumed to be a fuckboy either way due to being butch and not wanting to jump into a relationship so fast (at this point you're expexted to make it official before even meeting), even though the serial monogamist hopeless romantic Uhaulers go through more women in a year than I'll ever be with in a lifetime.

Straight/bisexual people don't know how good they have it when they were able to experiment, fool around, learn all the relationship skills and become comfortable with sex in their teens and early 20's while we were too busy hiding or denying our true identities. I didn't come out as a lesbian until my late 20's after almost two decades of knowing it yet never admitting it to myself and by that point everyone had gotten over their gay until graduation phase and looked for a man to settle down and to start a family with.

Also I hate that the lesbians who are dating the same woman they did in high school or who have been out since they were 13 and dated a ton of women rarely understand how it feels like. When I read that "My lesbian experience with loneliness" book it was like having a third eye open when someone else was describing your feelings to such relatable degree. I dream about hot, passionate, fulfilling sex with a woman but in all honesty I would probably have a fucking panic attack if I had to take my clothes off in front of someone else but a medical professional. It legitimately makes me want to cry to know that my life turned out like this.

This might seem hypocritical coming from a married woman but I think a lot of you in here put too much stock in relationships. I've been around the block in my 31 years, and honestly the vast majority of relationships - both romantic and sexual - I would not repeat if I had a do-over of my life. Work on yourself, learn new things, exercise, volunteer at a local charity, get hobbies that take you out and about and help you to meet new people. Yeah, you probably won't meet "The One" (bullshit concept anyway) but fuck it, you'll have a richer life and hopefully make some awesome friends along the way. This "forever alone" mindset is toxic. It eats away at your confidence and self-esteem and it's a huge repellent to anyone who might actually want to date you. As my wife loves to tell me when I'm being a miserable dick: you can't truly love someone else until you truly love yourself.

>This might seem hypocritical coming from a married woman
Yes it does. As someone in a stable relationship it's borderline cruel to tell people who have never experienced being loved romantically and being someone's significant other that "they're not missing out on anything". Looking back now you might think all those past relationships were worth nothing but they all helped you to grow into a person by reflecting on how someone you are emotionally intimate with perceived you. Love and acceptance are one of the basic human needs and without those you barely even feel like a person so to just tell someone to pull up their bootstraps and get busy with confidence and self esteem in a world that is also constantly battering you with bigotry and exploitation sounds almost spiteful.

God I wish, my gf is a butch lesbian who was friends with tons of trannies pre pandemic (more like pre before we dated since lots of those friends were friends of her ex and we moved to a different city this year so she has no contact with them anymore) and she was raised on tumblr so she believes twaw or whatever.. we had recent fights about it because I’m pretty gender critical and well she isn’t unfortunately. I hope In time she peaks or something but I’m unsure since the last time we talked about this she said something about relating to trans woman and that made me want to throw up

The zine is physical copy only (which might be hard if you live with people and hide your beliefs), but I checked the store and the copies are sold out. But it was created by kittyit on Tumblr, you can send her an ask on Tumblr about if there will be any reprints. It's called "You Told Me You Were Different" and I personally found it sad and insightful. Like I said it has submissions from women with various opinions (there's over 40 of them), some writings use the wrong pronouns like "she" or "they", others don't use any, and others outright say "he", "man", etc.

A lot of my friends who were assaulted by TIMs are still "allies" or tolerant towards transpeople as individuals, but they kind of took a "truscum" type attitude to it (ex. if transgender is a psychological condition where someone wants to change sex, then a man who wants to become female wouldn't be so eager to use his penis) and don't believe in the whole "if you say you're a woman, then you are one" BS anymore. One of my friends told me that she doesn't hate all TIMs, but she will NEVER be friends with a "translesbian" ever again, but is okay with gay TIMs who like men. So it's not mutually exclusive. I don't believe in TWAW either and I don't hate anyone, except rapists, which is why I'm willing to call a spade a spade for things like this.

Dude, are you me? We are in the exact same situation rn, it's crazy. A couple months ago my gf and I had another discussion where we each raised our own viewpoints and I asked her if she'd been doing any of her own research, because I've been good about using real life examples and studies. She said no, because she was afraid of what she'd find. I asked her if she wanted some links to resources and she said yes so I sent her some and we haven't talked about it again. Don't push her too hard anon, I went too hard because I was scared of losing her to this shit and feeling defensive, and I think that made her feel more caught in-between and anxious about the whole thing. Having friends who are actively involved in the cult makes it all worse. I still refer to my old highschool troon friend as she in front of her but I'm going to stop soon because it makes me feel like a hypocrite. Sorry for the huge blog it's just a shitty thing to be involved in. Especially for two young people who were practically 'raised in it'. There's still a sense of guilt and obligation to these people, especially when they used to be close friends who you respected and cared for.

I doubt you understand the issue here anon… the feeling of loneliness you experience after a breakup or being widowed is way different from never having been loved, especially as a homosexual growing up with homophobia. When you've entered your 30's as a kissless virgin lesbian you have never received actual validation for your sexuality and battle with the intrusive thoughts telling you "maybe they're right and you're actually just straight and should try settling for a man". Even besides that lacking romantic and sexual experiences while the people around you treat them as natural as the air they breathe is soul crushing. Like said, it makes you feel inhumane and broken.

Would you consider it weird for two inexperienced women to date if there was an age gap? I know it's very creepy for older moids to seek out younger girls for lack of experience, but what if it's two women that are equally inexperienced? Does it still come off as creepy to you? I say this as an (almost) 24 year old that hasn't dated before and I wouldn't be opposed to dating an older woman in early to mid 30s I've had some attractions to women older but I think someone as old as my mom would be very weird for me personally Tbh I think seeking inexperience is only creepy if you're seeking it out as leverage or a 'purity' fantasy

Is 24 and someone in their early 30's really that big of an age gap? It depends a lot on your life situation though, there's a lot of variation between people aged 24-30. A 35-year old moid and a 21-year old woman would ring alarm bells for me but if it's a woman in her mid 20s and a woman in her early to mid 30s it doesn't sound as predatory. I'd be more concerned with that big of an age gap just making you hard to relate to each other than it being an unhealthy power dynamic.

No. 282205

I think it's weird and gross on the older woman's end. Being inexperienced with sex/relationships doesn't make someone an honorary young person or somehow "mentally" immature. I knew women in their 30s who purposely go out with early 20s because "they're inexperienced and need to find someone to match up with that", and that just feels like a BS excuse to live out some age gap fantasy. I missed a lot of "transitory" years of my life (dropped out of college prematurely, was outright fired from my first job and took years for me to get a new one, have never dated because I was forcibly outed once in high school) and struggle with feeling immature, but dating someone more than 2 years younger wigs me out because legal adult teenagers and early 20s look like kids in comparison to a 30 year old. I actually have talked to women in their early-mid 30s who are inexperienced and are too embarrassed to go on apps as a result, so it's not like inexperienced women that are their age don't exist.

No. 282216

24 is too young for a 30something, speaking as someone who is late 20s. It's not just about sexual experience, it's also about life stages and how easy it is to manipulate someone when you know how their brain works at that younger age. I would have too much power over someone who is 24, even in minor ways. The young person tends to inadvertently look up to the older person and that would be something that makes me uncomfortable as the older party, wouldn't be able to trust the younger person to draw healthy enough boundaries when her brain isn't even done developing. If it's casual sex then it's not a huge deal especially if you're both late bloomers or whatever but a fully fledged relationship requires peers imo.

No. 282217

It's also not rare to be an inexperienced 24 year old lesbian, the acceptable range for someone in that age would be 21-possibly 27 which is plenty of women who are also inexperienced or have never been in anything long term. It's mostly the mid 30s I would look down on for seeking someone 5 or more years younger out, it's not "pedo" or grooming obviously since they're both adults, but it comes off as very immature.

No. 282220

at 24 most women are done with undergrad and are starting their careers… plus they probably pay their own rent and can drive. i don’t see how anyone can be manipulated at that point due to their age? you are fully grown.

My thoughts too, I guess if you still haven't figured life out you can feel like a kid at 24 but a lot of them are already starting their careers and can take care of themselves, you're not a child in your mid 20's. When I was 24 I was dating a 28-year old woman and it didn't feel predatory at all and we were completely on the same page (had been living on our own for years, I was almost done with uni and already at my first job etc), I doubt a 30-year old would've been that much different. I'm now 31 and while I personally wouldn't date someone more than 5 years younger, I have to say that if we really clicked and it wasn't me being just a sugar mommy to some NEET who's mentally stuck at 15 (like a lot of those straight Reddit horror story relationships) but more of two grown adults I wouldn't say no to it. It's weird how terminally online zoomers seem to think it's acceptable and normal to be like a teenager when you're well into your 20's.

But like said, it's very situational. If it's a 35-year old picking up lesbians in their early 20's because she's "too immature and inexperienced" it does raise an eyebrow, but I would probably consider her more pathetic than predatory. Unless she's straight out abusing them, that's an entirely another story.

It's about the older partner being immature and going for 5-6+ years younger women over someone their age. 24 isn't a kid, obviously, and they can make their own choices without the "grooming" card being pulled, but the perspective I see it is from the older side. When I was 24 I was absolutely delighted at the thought of dating a mature and responsible woman in her 30s or older, but now that I am that age, the thought of going for a 24 year old instead of someone close to my age is gross as hell to me. Even talking to my younger adult friends in real life who were kids when I was in high school is such a jarring experience because even if we're all adults now.

Quick re-write from the another thread but I need to know what other lesbian may think.

When I would have a stable life I would love to have a child with sperm donation but I'm having moral issues toward the child.

How adult treat you and the child is a society issues but interaction with kids is different : A white close friend who I was in school with had a black little brother who was adopted, and multiple time a week for years kid would come and ask her why her brother was black, she would say it was none of their business or I would say stupid lies but those curious small kids would come and ask her because they knew that it was not possible for white parents to make a biological black child. But being adopted was not a choice of the little brother, it was a needed thing due to an incident in his life. Same thing for single parents. But in this situation I make the choice myself for that child to have those question and discomfort weight on him, which could lead him to the same " lies" me and my friend told.

Also I would have the right to make the choice that he would only know where half of his physical and other weird body thing came from, and as someone who has different ethnic trait from my dad and mom I would have much more unresolved body issues if I did not have my whole family to look up to.

That is just how shoujo/shoujo ai/yuri all other romance genres work unfortunately. Since the main point of the manga is the romantic relationship, authors add a bunch of dumb drama in between characters to move the plot forward. Imo, the only normal lesbian love story we can get is if it is a side plot in another genre, not the whole point of the story. Or keep manga as a one-shot/very short

Hey anon, my wife and I are currently going through the beginning processes of IVF and about to start trying for a baby in the next few months, so I'll give you my thoughts. Yes, the kid will get shit for having lesbian mothers and obviously being the product of a sperm donor or adopted. It's inevitable, kids are great at sniffing out any differences in their classmates and needling away at it. However I think everyone goes through school getting shit and dare I say I think things are getting a bit better with regards to homosexuality, adoption, IVF, etc? Depending on where you live of course. I have three sisters under 11 and when the two older ones realised I only spoke about a girlfriend they quizzed me on why I don't have a boyfriend or a husband instead. I told them I just like women, that people like me are born this way in the same way they just happened to be born with a certain hair colour or eye colour. It clicked for them easily; and that's what I'll be telling my child and any curious friends they might make. If you keep it simple kids really don't care tbh, not unless they come from bigoted parents and they picked up something at home. As for the bullying, well, do any of us truly escape school without at least a little bullying? The main thing is that you have a good relationship with your kid and talk them through these things. I think people tend to think of kids like pets and just baby talk to them, but they're smarter than what we give them credit for. Keep it simple but keep them informed. Let them though that only their character matters, that being a good person is the most important thing to be. The family thing is awkward. It's only natural to wonder about these things, but again I think healthy communication is the only way to navigate these issues. I'm in a mixed race marriage so I understand needing to talk about that kinda stuff, but again I think honesty is key and accepting in advance that your child might want to seek out their biological father. It's a bitter pill to swallow and it breaks my heart I can't have a child naturally with my wife, but if I'm gonna be a worthy parent I have to confront these issues now and get used to them. I can't stick my head in my sand and get upset that my child will want to know things that are completely natural. I know I'm rambling here but basically if you do have a kid just talk to them, normalise being the product of a lesbian marriage and a sperm donor, let them know about the obstacles ahead with regards to other kids and build the foundations of healthy communication. Even if we lived in a perfect world where some crazy scientist could scramble two womens DNA together and make a baby, you would still have to deal with issues regarding bullying and family. Don't let yourself feel ostracised. I know how it feels to be looking at stuff about parenting and all you see is straight couples and it makes you feel unnatural and unholy and like having a child is just too wrong. It's not. The fact you're thinking about these things now means you're probably gonna do a great job as a mother. You'd be surprised how many parents out there are just winging it. I wrote an absolute novel here and it might not make total sense because my head is all over the place with baby talk lately and I'm also ESL and kinda stupid. But if you have any more questions or worries feel free to ask. Stay strong, anon.

Many such cases, unfortunately.

No fakers, no comphet bullshit, no prejudice against butches, no drama, just good times.

Piggybacking off of this, I have been looking at local events and noticed Queer movie night that was curated by the local movie festival. In fact all gay-friendly events have been taken and re-named into Queer events. I live in a homophobic country. Imagine thinking you are rebelling against system and smashing the stereotypes or whatever, meanwhile your voices are front and center in every single even slightly alternative event even in homophobic countries. If you are not 100% full pro-trans-neogender-neosexual, you have no place in LGBT events, EVEN IN HOMOPHOBIC COUNTRIES. Baffling. Of course I am not going, since it will only lead to eye-rolling and mingling with ugly straights

I have to deal with he/him lesbians, troonies, non-binary lesbians, bisexual lesbians, neopronouns, all this crazy bullshit

I got kicked out of my local lesbian study group because I refused to call a girl there by her proper pronouns. I can bite my tongue for troonies, I’ll use they/them if only to save face. But the pronouns where nya/nyan. I couldn’t do it. I hate it here. Hell world.

I'm surrounded by handmadiens, enbees and tifs. And the worst part is this is a specifically female space and always has been so why do you as someone who doesn't identify as a woman get mad when we're all addressed as women when you could easily have gone somewhere that's for all genders. I'm embarrassed by my past handmaiden behavior trying to please them. Like you're a girl, idk what you want from me and I don't care. And if you're not a girl then gtfo. Who goes into a women's space and expects everyone to include them and cater to them. Fucking narcs.

This has been debunked in like every /lg/ thread here to the point I feel like it's bait.

It kinda sucks how it's assumed that if you're not "woke" then you're either a Log Cabin Republican or a hardcore second-wave feminist.

AYRT, that's relatable. I'm an apolitical person at my core (doesn't mean I don't have my opinions but I never fit either side), and I feel like that combined with being a lesbian makes it more alien. I sometimes think if I was born bi or even a gay guy, finding space where I don't have to self-censor my sexuality or beliefs wouldn't be as big of a deal.

I know this is likely a problematic opinion but even if aspects of gay male culture are toxic, I really envy how getting hookups with actual men of the same sex is feasible for a lot of them. TIFs exist on Grindr but at least a man can push off a woman that tries to take advantage of him. I'm not interested in relationships but trying to find an actual woman nearby and not a porn addicted TIM that just wants to do things NSA is a borderline cryptid. At this point I'm consdering risking hitting up some polyamorous bi woman for something as long as her boyfriend is completely left out of it.

Is lesbianism a phase?
Whilst being in the closet I heard it thrown around that most girls grow out of it/settle with men in the end- that everyone knows a lesbian who settled down. But I have been the same for…a long time. Always enthralled by the female form, I often saw myself as the prince because princes could marry the princess- I even wore a waistcoat to school once, and asked a girl to marry me (cringeee). And still, at 18, I’m the same. I don’t want to touch men, I don’t feel, like another anon said, ‘OOGABOOGA’ for their bodies, their faces, nothing. Are there some grains of truth in the stereotype? Do some change in the end?>>284020

Non-troll response from someone who wondered the same at age 18: Those women are bisexual and their preferences changed. Most bi girls I knew flip flopped like that, and they just labeled those phases as "being gay/straight". There isn't any truth to lesbianism specifically being a phase, people are just both homophobic and uncritical of identities and think self-declaration is law. Sexuality is only fluid for bisexuals.

I came to see her already went to her house and nothing happened. I couldn't get a word in and she basically told me after she closed the door through text that she cannot talk to me because she has work and game night with her friends. she emphasised that she needs more time and she doesn't know if she wants to break up with me or not.
I sent her my hotel and everything and I don't think that she will come see me at all for any conversation. She is cold but for some reason she told me that I looked nice??
I'm now crying in my hotel room waiting until I go home tomorrow. I do not regret coming though because I learned what type of person she is. I hope I can stop loving her because in my head I pictures her to be my soulmate and I am really gullible and naive ( I realized) especially because it's my first love and all. I feel awful but at the same time I'm happy I came here to make it real and to get some closure. Hopefully whenever I feel sad or love for her I'll remember how she made me feel and what I gave to her when I recieved nothing back.
I really put myself out there and face her with flowers and gifts. I feel dumb but at the same time I feel proud that I was really brave when she just hid herself.
I do feel dumb though for still having hope for tonight looking out the window.

Yeah, she told me there isn't anyone else but I don't truly believe her. Something shook her from me, and even though it is ultimately her decision I can't help but think that her new friends influenced her decision. She has always had trouble talking about her emotions and feelings. She retreats and goes away when she is scared /stressed. I thought it was just those times where she needed a gentle push. When I was in her doorway I did not even get a chance to Greet her. I had flowers and doughnuts in hand. I also was not pushy. All I wanted was to spend time with her.

Thank you for your best wishes. This is my first relationship and it was very long, also I have hard a rough months with so many things happening to me as well as close deaths. I think that made me spiral into a place that I thought the only thing to regain control was doing something like this. I also believed she loved me whole heartedly because she even said things to me like she was working hard for us and our future. We had plans to live together, so I thought I had to help her. I'll be smarter in the future though and I'll reflect on my actions. I will never do something like this again for someone because I have been burned very badly.

During a conversation at lunch today this bi girl I was talking to just nonchalantly called herself a dyke while simultaneously talking about dating moids. Even funnier, gushing over the guys she's currently dating and how he's soo good because he "can actually express his emotions" and because he's "queer". Couldn't help but laugh to myself after that.

Since I don't really believe in policing language, I don't care if non-lesbians call themselves dyke, butch/femme, etc., as long as they use the term correctly, and are dating or looking to date women.

Same. At least they understand being attracted to only one sex and don't try to hit you with that "sexual fluidity" shit. Ironically enough I've found that (in my experience at least) het women are way less likely to talk about their Nigels, and when they do they can acknowledge his flaws and are aware he's not the best man on the planet. Bi women just love telling you about their cutesy wutesy golden retriever bf who is so in touch with his feelings because this one time he admitted to being sad and he's so fruity and queer for loving a woman with a pixie cut and she/they in her Twitter bio.

You hit the nail right on the head anon. Had a bi girl say to my face that everyone is "at least a little bi" right after I told her I was gay.

I half-agree. The bar is so low that I see as similar to bisexuals casually using the word gay. Like if you say "gay" in the context of your same-sex attraction, but don't label your sexuality that way overall, no big deal. But saying "I'm so gay" while having a boyfriend is so insulting, same with how some bi women call themselves dykes while dating men, because I've been sexually harassed and called that because I DON'T.

If a bi woman was a Febfem or at least in a long-term relationship with a woman and has been called a dyke (since bigots don't care if the slur they say is "accurate", I've been called the f word before), I'd have less qualms with them using the word (same with labels like butch/femme, "bi femme with a boyfriend" makes no sense), but on the other hand all the Febfems I've talked to told me "dyke" isn't theirs to reclaim even if they were called it.

>>284361
>>284382
Same. The ones I know IRL are mostly tolerant of LGB people, but it's not their business, so they don't have any opinions besides homophobia being cruel. Meanwhile, bi women who primarily date men and still involve themselves in "the community" won't shut up over their hot takes and how their straight boyfriend doesn't make their relationship less "queer"

Can't stand life anymore. I've grown into such a bitter woman within the past three years and I am only 22. Every girl I have ever liked rejected me, every job in my field I have ever wanted rejected me, every school I ever wanted to attend rejected me. Swim team, diving team, rugby team. Everything. It's as if the cosmos are begging me to rope and I won't take the hint.

I think it would be useful if there was some easy way to differentiate between same sex leaning bi women and opposite sex leaning bi women. Of course there's women who are febfems but I've already seen woketards associating that with being a terf and having stupid bios like "femfems DNI".

I do too. There's the kinsey scale, I guess, but it would be kind of awkward to use a number for your sexuality, and a lot of opposite sex-leaning bisexuals tend to be defensive about that. Febfem as a label is associated with being a radfem, which might put off SSA-leaning women with different opinions.

First off, you need to get off of online places like lolcow, farms and chans because that shit is toxic af and everyone is bitter and retarded, so all you do is soak up more negative energy. Also, if it is hard for you function, think about going to medical specialist.
Second, I think this is you being hit with the realities with real adult world -
>every job in my field I have ever wanted rejected me
That is how it is for everyone, unless you are a nepotism hire. You may have been the smart kid in school (like me), which lead you to believe that getting special treatment and offered opportunities will be just as easy post-school, but the school lied to you. Getting an internship was hell, I was rejected from everywhere and had to take up a job that literally hires anyone that breathes. My class friends, who had even better grades, ended up in jobs where all they did is get exploited and paid minimum wage for a year. Unfortunately, that is how adult life works. You are young, and the path to the first normal job is a shitty one. It is a numbers game.
>every school I ever wanted to attend rejected me
Similar to above. I have known extremely smart kids getting rejected from top schools. You don't know what is in the admission council's heads and, frankly, you don't know the criteria they adhere to. Maybe they were looking for completely different people, maybe those kids were better at presenting themselves etc etc.
>It's as if the cosmos are begging me to rope and I won't take the hint
The world might be chewing me up and shitting me out, but I'm built like a piece of corn.

I know what it is like to be depresssed, I lost my teens to severe depression and sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is pure spite.
I feel like you were one of the smart or talented kids in school, which is why it is so hard to adjust to the realities now, where no one gives a shit about how bright you are - you are just a drop in the ocean, and you have to wade through tons of shit just like everyone else. I know what it is like to feel like life is not worth living, like everything I go through is not worth for a tiny bit of joy somewhere in the future, but the reality is that maybe I am the one with unrealistic expectations. Maybe life isn't this amazing adventure packed with unforgettable moments at every turn. Maybe life is not going to be like in the movies or books. But you can still find joy, you can learn to find joy in prosaic small things.
My advice - try out new things and do them for a while, you never know what will bring you joy. Find solo activities, so you don't have to deal with rejection or judgement. Think about personal goals you want to achieve (and can achieve solely on your own like habits or fitness) and work towards them! Seriously, start with 5 minutes every day and keep the streak as long as possible. Then do more. You think it is stupid, I thought it was stupid too, but after doing it for a while, you will start to see that you yourself can build the life you want, that if you want something, you can go towards it, you can grow into a person you want to be. You become your own RPG character lol. I KNOW, rn you will roll your eyes and think this is some bs "clean your room" advice, but honestly? It works.

Good point, it's absolutely male gaze but I'm ESL and didn't know how else to phrase that. What I mean is that from a societal standpoint, it's more encouraged to be gender conforming and also attracted to gender conforming women. It's like how masc gay guys who pass as straight are more tolerated in society. It's usually lesbians asking if it's ok to like butches because they got psyop'd into thinking it's toxic masculinity and emulating heterosexuality if they're femme. It just seemed utterly absurd to me that someone was asking such a thing, but maybe she's just young and confused. I probably said some silly things when I was a baby gay too.

I'm actually ok with butches telling the world because they do have a very different life and idk might sound corny but deserve to be respected. And it's so cringe to see an older women say they only top or bottom everyone should be pleasured lol. Fuck the no labels don't believe in boxes rhetoric straights and bi's say but I think it's a little damaging having it in our communities and the baby gays constantly asking if what they are doing is ok or not or if they look gay enough or not.

I'm just sick of politics, honestly, and obviously libfems are worse and I agree with radfems on more things, but even radfem lesbian spaces are full of weird micro-managing and policing of preferences and harmless sex lives. I do think babygays get too hung up on labels and wanting to be validated though, it's like the sexuality version of trans. Announcing you're femme4femme or chapstick only makes sense in dating spaces. Sex positions are a different story though, people make that into a label and that's annoying, but even if I don't announce how I do things, I still have a lot of boundaries and preferences for what I like due to bad experiences.

Majority of lesbians in the west are femme4femme, so it sounds pretty silly. Butches are rare, nvm anyone into that, due to by other nonnie aforementioned representation issues and societal pressure to be gender conforming and only date other genderconforming people. 99% of people think you're normal and maybe 1% just thinks you're asking silly questions.

Dating apps freak me out because I'm scared I'll accidentally meet up with one. I'm better at clocking them IRL because it's easier to see their body shape but static faces are impossible for me.

AYRT, there's nothing wrong with not liking short hair on you or other women. Like >>284727 said you're the norm. Don't worry about it, anon. It doesn't sound like you're prejudiced against butches or women who have short hair. You just have your preferences when it comes to attraction like we all do. I'm a butch with short hair and I don't look down on you or any other lesbian who isn't into me. We're not troons, we acknowledge that most people have a "type" and it doesn't offend us if that type doesn't include us.

I'm going to an actual lesbian mixer via invite from my kickball team. I'm excited because it doesn't label itself as "queer" or "lgbt-whatever". There's also little to no info on it online.

That actually sounds very hopeful! I met a bunch of other lesbians via football (s*ccer if you're American I guess), boxing and MMA. Sports are by far one of the best ways to meet other lesbians, sometimes the stereotypes are correct, lol. The kind of groups/events that are spread via word of mouth, don't mention the dreaded Q word and have no presence online are always the best ones. Hope you have a good time, nonna!

Ohhhh yes. I have many a horror story from the few months I spent in them and heard a lot of horror stories from other people about them. One of my favourites is menalez, famed for her "I swear my DD/lg phase was just comphet!!!" schtick having a MTF in her server for literal months and not realising. Top fucking kek. Honestly, radblr is cancer anyway. It's just as cliquey as troon circles and I got sick of the Mean Girls shit.

If you gan around radblr for a long enough time, you will see bunch of "hardcore lesbians" come out with such wonderful takes as
> born this way is not real and female sexuality is influenced by patriarchy
and eventually many of them come out as bisexual. You get those vibes because they are bis ashamed of their sexuality. Actual lesbians are an absolute minority; a lot of them don't even hang out on radfem side anymore because of all the homophobic bs. i am personally way better off after I stopped reading their takes and am less ashamed of my sexuality.

To be fair, for a terminally online bunch, radfems take troll bait like some facebook mom. I remember when the entire community was in flames over that iamxuenyang (?) girl lol.

Not at all surprising. I badmouthed her in a server once and some tryhard who was desperate to be her friend told her and then she liked a very old post on my blog and then unliked it, I assume it was a slip of the hand while she was trying to find dirt on me, kek. She's so terminally online but isn't she meant to be a student with a gf? How the fuck does she find the time? She's like the ghost of radblr, an omnipresent force that's always there and telling you you're a bad feminist. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if she self-posts here too, but I don't care if she reads this as I've cut ties with everyone from radblr.

This site was founded to take the piss out of (mostly) women. Of course they'll never admit to being farmers.

I couldn't handle it and I often ruffled the feathers of my mutuals for being a big meanie. Fucking girl scouts.

This is why I only lasted about two weeks on radblr lol. It's exhausting. The 'nazis' like apostle-of-sappho or whoever else it is now would disappear overnight if everyone ignored them. But no instead lets write daily callout posts and doxx anyone who accidentally reblogs from a Forbidden User. Half the nazis on radblr are probably Menalez and other deranged BPDs on sockpuppets.

It's a shame because I liked some parts of Radblr. I just wish it were possible to have sane internet communities again. Everything is eventually invaded and dominated by the internet moral police. Sometimes I'm tempted to apply for a lesbian discord but jesus fuck everyone who runs them is insane and I'm not trusting them with whatever personal details they need to verify I'm female.

DA when radfems say their community is the only safe space for lesbians, it's a lie. It's full of polilez and a different kind of lesbophobia than the conservative or TRA kind, it's tiring. I hate how being a real lesbian that doesn't believe in trans/libfem nonsense is conflated with being a radfem because second wave feminism is a very specific worldview. And I think most women on radblr or Discord know that, before I deleted my radblr there was constant arguing among if it was feminist to wear makeup sometimes or use strap-ons or still believe in religion to cope, it was clear most women on there only agreed that TIMs aren't women, lesbians don't like dick, and porn addiction is harmful, but weren't radfems otherwise, but it was the only place that would accept those views.

KEK. You're welcome, anon. I'm glad you didn't join! It's not worth it, trust me. You're absolutely right about how it's still tumblr. As much as radblr acts like the cool, underground part of tumblr, it still follows the same patterns of cliques, big name bloggers who get their asses kissed for stating that water's wet, drama, backstabbing and callout posts. If I ever do rejoin tumblr it would be purely for my hobbies, absolutely zero politics allowed and a blacklist that's a mile long to make sure it stays that way.

>>284952
NTA but you're completely right. As a butch lesbian who was at the time trying to manage dysphoria and internalised homophobia, I felt actively worse on radblr. Not only am I a nasty dyke who oppresses any woman with a Nigel by simply breathing, but I'm also a toxic masculine predator. Ironically there's quite a few FTMs on the fringes of radblr and big users like menahet- sorry, menalez treat them like pets to show everyone how nice and accepting they are… even though said troons are absolute fucking demons and no better than the libfem kind. Thing is I was only ever rad leaning, but there's not many spaces for women like us online. Or offline for that matter. As awful as this place can be with the psychotic moids spamming CP and gore, the kiwifags, the infighting, etc, at least I can speak my mind here. You do get the odd user try to police you for something like using the word "bitch" or the ones who expect newly peaked women to drop the queer lingo in a day and immediately adjust, but hey, I can just call them a retard and tell them to fuck off. If I did that on radblr I'd be listed as an ableist on the naughty list, kek.

I relate, although it honestly sucks because I don't agree with either side, but only having an anonymous place to talk about either my beliefs, my sexuality, or my hobbies is kinda crazy-making cuz it feels like I'm living a double or triple life. The LGB spaces I'm in don't know about my beliefs or that I'm 100% vagina-only, the political spaces where I'm open about my beliefs don't know about my hobbies or contrary opinions, I've completely given up on being into fandoms like I was in highschool before the gender madness for obvious reasons, and I keep my opinions to myself on social media where I post my artwork/stories, there isn't really a space I can fully be myself and open. I honestly don't care if someone disagrees with my opinions, as long as I can just be who I am without getting witch hunted for thought crimes (I lost friends on both sides), as long as we can just tolerate each other, but it's like the libfems/queers get mad at me over one thing and the radical feminists/leftists are equally mad over another.

I just heard the term “comphet” for the first time, but I can’t find a solid definition for it.

Some places say it’s when a lesbian says they like men bc that’s what they’re taught to say when they think a man is okay looking. Other places say it’s when a lesbian would never fuck a man irl, but still simps for anime men.

I keep getting mixed answers from irl lesbians cause I live in a very leftist area. Does anyone here know what it means?

No. 284986

Comphet is a bullshit idea perpetuated by bisexuals who hate being bi. It does not exist.

No. 284987

>>284981
The original essay about compulsory heterosexuality was about how there's a social pressure for all women to prioritize men in their life, regardless of sexuality. It's been a long time since I read it, but I thought it made sense, even if it was written by a political lesbian (a stopped clock is right twice a day). A lot of the straight and bi women in my life, no matter how headstrong and independent, would throw that away just for a guy, and a lot of lesbians I knew, including me, automatically assumed we were straight despite not being attracted to men, since it's expected in society for women to be accessories to men.

However, the social media meaning of "comphet" is the opposite. I notice a lot of women who say they're "lesbians with comphet" and simp for anime boys instead or whatever are bisexuals who are ashamed of liking men, so they blame that on society and not their trauma. The concept of a "comphet crush" where you're a lesbian but "society" is putting a gun to your head and making you starry eyed over a male celebrity makes no sense. A lot of lesbians I know talk about how forcing themselves to like guys felt fake, but they lied to fit in (I did this too, I once pretended to agree when one of my straight friends showed me a picture of her boyfriend, and could tell I was lying through my teeth lmao), but meanwhile when I see these girls say they're lesbians but squee over kpop boys, it seems like they're just trying to fit in because being bisexual isn't "cool" anymore.

No. 284990

>>284987

That makes sense. I definitely felt the first definition before, where I felt forced to “like men” because it was what I was taught all my life. I was raised to be a housewife to a man one day, so men are obviously what I was “told” to be attracted to. I didn’t even find out that lesbians existed until I was in my teens, so I’ve been coerced into relationships by men before I knew. I’ve definitely said that I’m attracted to fictional men, mostly because I like the character, and growing up, I was taught that “liking” a man in any way means that I’m attracted to him. In reality, I just think they’re a decent character with zero sexual attraction at all. That’s the comphet that I think I had in my younger years.

>If this is leftist brain washing I’m spewing, pls let me know, bc that’s the space I live in and the information I was taught.


But the second one definitely sounds like glorified bisexuality. Using the “gun to head” analogy was a really good choice of words on your part, because you explained it in a very visible way. Some women in certain places DO have the gun against their head, telling them that if they don’t like men, they will die. But for internal monologue, society isn’t holding a gun to someone’s head to make them go heart eyes over a man. That makes no sense.

Thanks for taking the time to explain!

AYRT, I understand. Like I said I do speak my mind here but I know with some things it's just not worth it. Like religion; I grew up in a strict religious environment, hated it, but found myself needing a religion to cope. I converted to another one and consider myself semi-religious now, but I don't discuss it here much anymore for obvious reasons. Same with a few of my political opinions, some might seem contrarian and honestly, they probably are. Yeah it's anonymous but I don't wanna argue about it. It took me so long to unpack the social pressure from both sides and find my true beliefs, and at the grand old age of 31 I'm too fuckin' old for this shit! So yeah, this is nice void to shout into. It's just wise to not go shouting about everything that crosses your mind lol. Fandom shit kills me though because I'm an autist and would love to have somewhere to sperg about my fixations without seeing any political shit. Oldfag moment but back in my day a fandom account was for fandom ONLY. God I hate how that sounds so obvious but it's so different now. Thankfully I have a wonderful wife who shares some of my interests and the rest of the time I just type up my silly little observations and theories on WordPad and keep them for myself. I also started writing game guides in notebooks and illustrating them for when my little sisters are old enough to play, and hopefully one day my kids. I really want to encourage offline stuff for them so they don't get caught up in the same shit I did.

God, that sounds amazing. I feel like if I had one close friend or partner that I could see eye-to-eye with or at least agree-to-disagree, I'd feel a lot less alone. I don't keep any of my opinions a tight secret, if anyone asked me about it, I'd just tell them, but I'd had people on both sides get angry with me for not 100% agreeing with them and drop me when we were otherwise cool, it makes me paranoid of everyone. I walk on eggshells with most of the people I talk to in any space I'm in, and it's frustrating.

I'm trying to get back into fandom too since I'm an autist, and it was always a fun, creative, escape from life, and one time in a server I joined people randomly started talking about "TERFs" and it's like, well, I'm not a radfem, so I would be in the clear, but I don't think "transwomen" are women either or "sex work is work" or other libfem slogans, so it's like I'm crucified either way. But then the radfem fandom people get mad because I enjoy fiction that isn't 100% wholesome, but not to the degree the weird proshippers do. Sometimes I just want to simp over my favorite female characters without people shoving their porn addiction in my face or asking if I'm being inclusive of their version where she's a man.

Yeah, having a wife I can discuss these things with is amazing, I'm very lucky. We do agree on most things, but with some we don't. It's civil though and it spurs a lot of discussions and observations about how our different backgrounds and upbringings has moulded us into the people we are today. It's honestly made me a better, more thoughtful person. My last ex was a rabid libfem who disagreed with nearly everything I believe. At first we were more similar but she grew more liberal and I grew more conservative (I don't consider myself a conservative but I am labelled one by some people who are pretty far left). We did agree to disagree but eventually she just threw that aside to call me out for thoughtcrimes against troons. She was also bisexual and made me feel really weird about my masculinity and caused my dysphoria to spiral. It was just a very messy relationship towards the end. Some of the older lesbian couples I know are like chalk and cheese, but they acknowledge each others right to think differently. That is a rare thing these days. It makes dating so much worse; as if lesbian dating wasn't hard enough to begin with. God, I don't get the policing of fiction. As a recovering alcoholic and drug addict I do have some cringe fanfics on my hard drive where I've projected like a lighthouse onto characters from media or sometimes characters I made for RPGs just to get the thoughts out of my head. It's very cathartic. The irony of the fact that the people who would dislike these fics are the type of people that would write or promote fics that include homophobic re-writes of gay couples to include a tranny is not lost on me. Absolutely depressing state of affairs. Anyway, I'm off to bed. Really enjoyed talking with someone so likeminded! Take care, nonna. ♥

Yeah, I was commenting on the phenomenon itself of everyone being more open about enthusiastic attraction towards males, divorced from the "comphet" BS. I personally keep it to myself due to internalized homophobia (although I'm learning to break out of it), but it shows a lot of women are bisexual since they think the answer is simping over anime/kpop/celeb boys instead and say it's comphet haunting them like some ghost.

I find it's only offline I can talk about sex openly with other lesbians. Online there is so much sexuality policing it's unreal, even in this fucking thread anons get called scrotes for it which is ridiculous given how obvious AGPs are when they try being "sneaky" about it here. I'm starting to think the users who call anons scrotes or predatory or whatever for expressing their attraction and discussing aspects of their sex life are either virgins who have never had a healthy discussion about sex, or are battling internalised homophobia and jump to labelling our sexuality as something filthy, something wrong (guess it's easier to call someone a moid than address what's eating up your insides). I don't mean any of this in a harsh way, but some of you really need to hear how dykes talk in real life. None of this "um, nonny you literally just said you enjoyed tits like they're just OBJECTS for YOUR GRATIFICATION!" like I promise you it's ok to express your sexuality! Healthy even! I grew up very religious and I shamed and repressed myself so much that it really fucked me up and made me hate myself to the point of wanting to rope.

It's like sex talk is either disgusting and pornified or prudish and shameful. No middle ground. When it comes to lesbians it's usually the latter and I blame a lot of it on that "wlw" shit.

Yeah in a way the whole choking, stepping gagging thing isn't even truly sexual, it's just violent. It still feels like they are distancing themselves. Somehow it's become more vulgar to talk about pleasure, rather than talking about violent shit. Like some other butches complain about being treated like a piece of meat by other women. I honestly wouldn't mind that, I'd probably love that, but why does it have to be a violent piece of meat?

AYRT, yeah, like I said, I'm not a prude or radfem or anything or one of those that thinks you should only have vanilla sex in a marriage, but a lot of hardcore violent kink shit really is emotional distancing from actual sex and attraction to people. I used to have friends (not hetero, shockingly, some were in same-sex relationships) who were into BDSM to the point it was their lifestyle and their outlook on basic sexuality was so unhealthy and disconnected, it was clearly a replacement for other problems in their life (one of my friends could only do something if her 'dom' told her to and rewarded her after - she stopped and left this relationship but it was crazy how she eroticized learned helplessness).

Dear nonnies, how do I stop myself from falling hopelessly in love with bihets and straight girls and subsequently getting my heart broken when they get a boyfriend? How do I not kermit when I think about how I will never be the handsome man they're looking for? The lesbians and actual kinsey 1+ bisexuals that I've met are taken, not interested or simply not my type at all regarding looks and interests, I feel like I'm cursed to have unrequited love for women while I watch them catch a Nigel that I can never become. I was considering trooning out for years, fantasizing about true Mengele shit like height lengthening surgeries to be taller and skin sausage dicks just because I so badly wanted to have a girlfriend. I've been told so many times the same "I'd date you immediately if you were a man" shit that one more will push me over the edge. I'm going legitimately insane with despair and bitterness. How the fuck are you supposed to cope with knowing that I'm probably going to go through life with disappointment after disappointment?

Cold as fuck out here, wish I was warming my hands between my gf's thighs. Ngl there is something so intoxicating and magical about the warmth between a woman's legs.

Don't fall for this, they do not mean it even if they think they do. Also sounds like you're just not surrounded by enough actual SSA women which is causing you to fall for straight women due to the circumstance? You should really try not making friends with any more straight/bi women for a while and focus on lesbians. Even if they're taken, ask about friends they can introduce you to etc. At any rate pretending to be a man is not the solution. Do something constructive and work on not looking bitter because women can sniff that out from a mile away.

What is your type anyway?

Just where is the magical land of lesbians where you just meet them in numbers and can just ask others to introduce you to some big lesbian network to explore? Lesbian bars don't exist where I live and the "gay communities" aren't for me because they focus on activism and joining them in hopes of finding a date sounds weird. I've met maybe a handful of lesbians in my life and plenty of bisexuals but the latter are always in straight relationships. I don't understand anons who say they've had like 5 girlfriends in their lives, do they know some secret SSA handshake or something?

I feel like all this I'm not a radfem I'm not political comments are like when emma watsom (fuck her) came out as a feminist and all these women were telling the world they weren't.

No. 285450

>>285437
I say it because it tends to be assumed that real lesbian that doesn't agree with trans issues = radfem (or that radfem communities are the only safe place for lesbians, which isn't true) when it's not always that simple. A lot of radfem views are basic feminism (woman=female, pro-choice, anti or at the very least critical of porn and prostitution, etc.), but the second-wave of feminism is a branch of its own and reading theory and talking to actual radfems made me realize I disagree with just as many things too. I'm also just tired of having people assume my political views the moment they find out my sexuality, both conservative and liberal straight people do because they assume I'm on the LGBTQ+++ side, or the LGBT TRA side worries if I'm a "TERF" for having thought crimes. Not to mention, I'm not an activist, so it doesn't feel right to call myself a radical anything even if I was.

Reading this made me realize how much I hate that so many lesbians on lolcow tend to think lesbianism = complete totalitarian female separatism. Why does someone not pretending as if men don't exist make them a "lowly bisexual"? I know plenty of fully gay guys who simp for female pop stars, think they're attractive and buy their merch et cetera but are not attracted to them and would not be interested in a relationship yet nobody calls them "bis in denial" for it. And likewise nobody thinks a straight girl considering a female idol beautiful and idolizing her is a lesbian. But for some reason when it comes to lesbians there's a retarded amount of policing around what counts as ~twue lesbianism~ when it should be nothing more than being attracted to other women exclusively in real life. Anime men aren't real and the lesbians I know only like them because it allows them to create a connection with other women through shared interests. The same goes for K-pop idols who are real people but they're fully unattainable with a fake persona so they might as well be myths. These girls most likely do not fantasize about dating and fucking Jungkook personally but idolize him without some romantic self insertion. Do "real lesbians" just squee over moid pandering waifus or female idols instead? If so, I have plenty of heterosexual women to introduce you to who do that shit constantly and hate all mentions of male characters and male idols.

A couple years ago I used to know all the fashion trends especially like that fuckboy haircut. But idk if it's because I've been out of the loop (was dating someone/stopped looking).

While that particular post is a hyperbolic example (I actually thought the character was female at first tbh and it seems that's how he was supposed to be) and I understand the point, where is the line drawn exactly? Everyone here seems to agree with the sentiment that a straight becky posting ridiculous shit like "I want anime mommy #4535 to suffocate me with her big milkers and fat ass cheeks uwu" while dating and having sexual relations with men only is as heterosexual as one can be but when a lesbian hornyposts about a cartoon sexyman while having only interest in women IRL makes her a traumatized bi in denial ashamed of her attraction to men. I'll admit that simping for characters played by real life actors is toeing the line and pretty much stepping over it but some anime characters are another thing entirely.

No. 285490

>>285488
When it comes to anime shit, it really does sometimes feel like the same logic TRAs use where suddenly when a butch troons out, lesbians can't be attracted to her anymore in their opinion. Some anime scrote can be drawn the exact same way as a tomboy in that style, but because one is canonically a man and the other is canonically a woman, that suddenly makes all the difference. Like it's just fucking semantics at some point. This is the same logic how you end up with t4t gaydens who think they are into men, because they are into anime guys, when in reality they would only ever want to be with women. You don't get that blurry line with irl shit, vs with anime.

I think it's mostly hypervigilance at this point. There are some "lesbians" literally jerking off to anime moids which isn't the same as the ones who just think the design is cool/androgynous. There is simply no way of knowing which category the anime worshipper you're talking to belongs to because you can't know if she's telling the truth. The based take is that anime is garbage.

Exactly, muddying the waters with gendering fiction is what TRAs always do. Aydens who like female fan favourites and male characters written by women are memed into thinking they're gay males because they like a completely fictional gender and only date other Aydens making them the notorious "lesbians with extra steps" stereotype. I've heard the "well gay men don't larp as anime lesbians" clause being used as a rebuttal but to be fair I've seen it happen a lot with "femboy" type troons and even besides that there's the more complex issue of the fetishization of lesbians for the male gaze and baby lesbians wanting to distance themselves from it with their fictional males that are vague enough to interpret as whatever gender you feel like. I feel it's very similar to the mentioned spergy strap on discourse, as in liking penetration means you're actually bi because penetrative sex is the heterosexual norm even though it's just how vaginas are generally built.

>>285513
Hypervigilance is a good point and understandable, I've ripped my hair out many times coming across femcel "lesbians" who talk about wanting to suck an attractive male actor off and turn straight when a man shows passing interest in them. But moving the goalposts of what being a lesbian is supposed to be is also a headache and causes a lot of women to go "I guess I like dick then" if they like a bunch of artificial pixels on the screen specifically designed to appeal to women and get themselves into genuine comphet situations. Terminally autistic microblog but I thought I was bisexual because I enjoyed male anime characters a lot more than female ones before I realized that I only like it when women cosplay as them while men doing the same was uncanny and gross to me no matter how attractive he was, while straight girls went crazy with admiration. When the concept was transferred to real life it was clear how I was actually interpreting them.

I think that anyone who's never had sex should just stay away from sexual labels until they pursue their attraction IRL and see if it's truly real. NOT saying "try both genders" at all because obv that is not necessary whatsoever but like, until you try just the one gender you think you're into IRL you have no business sperging about sex. Too many virgins are talking about sex as if they know the first thing about it.

AYRT, I really do get where you're coming from since I'm on the "fiction isn't reality" side of fandom discourse, but if you can't tell the difference between a gay person having an opposite-sex favorite character or celeb that they think is cool/cute and the self-hating bisexuals I used to know on Tumblr who talk about wanting to gobble on some guys knob but say it's "comphet" and keep acting like attraction to men that they're ashamed of is akin to catching the flu or being haunted by a ghost that makes them want to suck dick, then I don't know what to tell you. I have lesbian friends who literally pretend their anime guys are women because why not, it's fiction, but it seems like when you're the only lesbian in a fandom who isn't obsessed with 2D penis (even if it's 2D, even if it's just fiction) it gets kind of weird.

I don't believe in separatism or anything like that either since I'm just as critical of how radfems police lesbian's sexuality as much as I am over how "lesbian" is a trendy label now (compared to how being bisexual/"pansexual" was cool a decade ago).

I’m the anon who posted that actually, and I can’t believe how angry people got over it lol. I’ve heard so many straight girls say “I’d fuck the shit out of Lady Dimitrescu” or straight men saying “I’m not gay but if I was I’d fuck him”, but they’re never questioned about their sexuality for it.

When I said “I want to suck the skin off his cock” I meant it in the same way that straight girls say they’d eat out a hot anime girl, or the way a straight man might simp about “Femboy cock”. If that anime character was an irl man, I’d be completely disgusted by him. But it’s an anime character. He does not exist. He is lines on a screen.

It’s insane how lesbians aren’t allowed to even JOKE about liking the opposite sex without being policed about “you’re not a real lesbian because you said you’d fuck an anime man” It was a joke, an exaggeration. If a straight man said “I’d put my dick in Pewdiepie” it’s seen as a joke, but when a lesbian does the same thing, the fucking Lesbian Cops start whining about “you’re not a real lesbian” it’s so annoying fr, these girls need some pussy ASAP, bc that’s bitchless behavior

Many zoomers don't know about the concept of "butch" and that actually causes problems. They only understand "pre-FTM". With no concept like "butch", people return to their kneejerk reaction of "you're trying to be a man if you're in any way shape or form masc". It's either a masc "(pre-)FTM" haircut to them, or a feminine uwu pixie haircut, if it's short. And why would you even want to be masc if you weren't a pre-FtM (at least in their mind)? They think the only reason a woman would want to be masc is if she's taken the plunge to transition, and right up until that moment you just keep super duper long hair, no other reason you'd cut it. It still baffles me that a short masc haircut is already considered transitioning. I honestly wouldn't mind a weeb gf who wants me to crossplay and I'd love to be loved for my masculinity, but at this point I'm kinda terrified by how my own generation views me and other butches.

Because it's interesting and generates discussion with the lesbians who aren't living a wholesome tradlife, I'd much rather read anons' struggles with their sexuality and how they and their thoughts function as a lesbian compared to straight women than another "my wife and I did this and that" post, "I want to eat my girlfriend's wet pussy" blog or rolling eyes and scoffing "just install a dating app" at the loser anons who are lonely because homophobia is still a thing.

>>285657
What's exactly so horrible about this? I know anons have a spergfit at "he/him lesbians" but presenting masculine and doing drag king stuff or even adopting a male name has always been a part of lesbian culture and anon specifically says that she's not into troons but princely women who borderline larp as fictional ikemen. It's nerdy I guess but far from "raging misogyny".

I brought this up before but I would like to talk to other nonnies about this. Openlibrary.org has a lot of lesbian books from the 80-90-00s we should do a book club lol.
Usually when I'm between serial monogamy I feel like I completely forget how to snu snu so I was reading two how to sex guides several months ago and half of it was about dicks and trans shit and the other half was just do what feels right and create a safe space. Well no shit, I want to learn techniques while I twiddle my thumbs. So when I was looking for less woke material I stumbled upon Open Libraries treasure trove. Here's just a small list of the titles I saved for later. If anyone wants to talk about the books or recommend something I'm all eyes. (hopefully most of this isn't polilez shit)

It would be no issue to me if they'd look into this more and not call everything "pre-ftm", or not buy into common stereotypes about masc women many zoomers believe. If the weeb anons are like the fantasies thread nonna, it makes sense and that's different imo from weebs who claim to be lesbians struggling with "comphet", but actually are legit into canonically male characters and would want an irl male version of that. Rather than have a gf just crossplay and they want them to actually be female (not talking about pronouns or whatever, but sex).

>>285680
Most people aren't actually saying that society should create a strict butch/femme system, they are just expressing that they are into masc women really. For some reason whenever someone says they are into masc women in any way shape or form, someone has to come in to say how they don't feel like it's feminist. If anything, there is a big push to "do both", and everything related to masc women is shat on enough. And again, as if only masc women can be misogynistic, toxic or portray "fuckboy" behavior. Funny how that isn't automatically brought up when your average feminine woman is thirsted over or said anything positive about. Like femme4femme is venerated at this point, but it's still not enough apparently.

No. 285685

>>285682
Maybe venerated by straights lol. But they're not really saying that and it feels like they feel safer with a manlite that's pretending to be a man than a masculine woman (That was going on even before ftm discourse with butches becoming pawpaw to women that had multiple baby daddies and became gay for pay.)

I don't mean it that way, I guess I'm like one of those bi chicks saying everyone's fluid when they aren't. I like to dress masc/fem whatever I'm feeling. Chinos and wingtip oxfords or pencil skirts and button-ups it's all just a form of expression to me. I don't know what we're talking about anymore because I think being masculine is not a statement but just how someone is/wants to present? Any woman can have internalized misogyny I would think the one's closest to presenting to societies standards could be more toxic since they haven't had to come face to face with how society perceives them going against the grain.

No. 285687

>>285685
Most lesbians are femme4femme, at least in the west. Butches have practically disappeared and have been consistently shat on within the community since the 70's. You don't notice the veneration, because many think femme4femme is like two bimbos together who look like they came straight from a porno, rather than two women who are together and who would be considered "neutral". Since what is considered "neutral" for women, is actually still pretty damn feminine and femme doesn't just mean "high femme". So no, it aren't just the straights venerating.
>I don't mean it that way, I guess I'm like one of those bi chicks saying everyone's fluid when they aren't. I like to dress masc/fem whatever I'm feeling. Chinos and wingtip oxfords or pencil skirts and button-ups it's all just a form of expression to me.
Because being butch is more than just being an average feminine woman with long hair, who wears make up regularly and just happens to wear trousers and a masculine shoe choice sometimes. Some women just never want to wear pencil skirts, never want to wear make up and don't feel like they're themselves in feminine shit. Maybe it's just not comfortable. The whole "please switch it up" thing will be interpreted in the context of a long line of people, including a butches' family, teachers, peers, consistently trying to pressure them to be more feminine, from when they were still young tomboys. It's not necessarily a political statement, but yeah it can actually reflect something about someone's personality, like preferring comfort and practicability, or that they probably had to struggle a lot with being shat on for being different, or that they maybe have some masc hobbies. Like you obviously don't get if if you think a woman could ever actually be a manlite, the whole point is that she's still female, there's no dick and she's socialized female so she can never truly act like a man.
Seriously, that "man-lite" is still a masculine woman and the women who think like "oh I prefer man-lite", don't stay with that "man-lite", because in the end she's still a masculine woman. You're going to be very disappointed if you go into it without keeping that in mind. The only way you can be into it, is if in the end the important part to you is that she's female. Like this is just retarded shit about how if you're attracted to butches, you have to be at least bi. Since the goalposts are always moved and you find out that the anon's idea of acceptable masculinity which isn't "male-lite" is an average feminine woman with long hair who wears a backwards baseball cap and boyfriend cut jeans at most and wears a dress at least once a week.

Nonas, anyone else have a "The One that Got Away"? We were practically forced to break up by her family years ago, before the relationship even properly took flight.

It was the first day of secondary school and the teacher was reading off the names. When I heard my name, me and another girl both said we were here and I guess it was love at first sight. We decided to become best friends based on having the same name and we did everything together. At some point some years later we started fooling around and we were in a de facto relationship, but never called it that. Everything just felt natural, no worries, everything was great. Then she came out and wanted to make things official. While I'm obviously not straight to everyone, I didn't really dare to because of my crazy family and living in a religious area. So I broke up with her, to give her the chance to have the kind of relationship she wants. However she kept getting into actually shitty relationships and she kept sleeping with me here and there, until it just stopped a couple years ago and now we only talk sometimes. On one hand she's the one that got away, on the other hand I'm happy that we broke up on a high note, so I have just positive memories. I wouldn't even really want to get back together with her, because we've probably grown apart quite a bit. However I don't think I'll ever have such a chill situationship/relationship with someone again. It legit felt like one long summer break, that lasted years. That experience did set my ideal "relationship" standards, it's like we somehow managed to preserve that honeymoon phase for years and never got into that boring relationship routine. We took each other out practically every day, never got bed death, always stayed spontaneous, a lot of PDA, no need to verbally announce or advertise the relationship, people could just tell by our actions.

I haven't really fallen for anyone like that again, because it just never happens anymore. Things can't naturally grow. You meet on an app, have to basically decide to be in a relationship before even meeting and it's like all the fun and chill gets beaten out of it. And no there aren't any lesbian bars around me or a place where you can actually find lesbians or just in general anything more than spicy straight people. I don't exactly like the "befriend someone on Tinder and get recommended to one of their friends", because that feels like shitting where you eat and like a recipe of drama if you ever break up and doesn't change that modern dating standards are really weird and skip any courtship period, period. It still dives right into controlling and online stalking behavior "in the name of love". I don't know why it used to be so much easier to find actual lesbians or even bi women. I also can't really imagine someone actually falling for me again.

You dropped your crown my liege, truer words have never been spoken and your based meter is at 100%. Feels unironically validating to read posts like this as someone who's absolutely fucking done with the lesbian community being so triggered about masculine women and them willingly choosing to present the way they do. I remember my own mother lamenting over how I didn't dress like a proper woman and instead wanted to live my tomboy life because I find it comfortable and I can rock it.

>it's always revealed that the real masculinity limit for the offended anon isn't even about grey area shit, but literally just the whole concept of never wanting to dress feminine is what is so misogynistic and male-lite apparently.

This. It's never about the grey area alone, it's always a full ass "butches should stop being cringe and put on a dress" type of small minded garbage and faux concern over butchness being a pipeline to trooning out as if it was the cause alone and not the society and even the LGB community pressuring them to do so out of sheer annoyance of the concept of masculine women.

>"butches should stop being cringe and put on a dress" type of small minded garbage
It's so often implied that you basically have to put on a dress to prove you're not misogynistic, as if wearing dresses is inherent to being a woman. So if you're not willing to put them on sometimes, you hate women. In reality it's just many people confusing what they personally find attractive for what is "feminist". Everyone is allowed to think butches are cringe and everyone is allowed to not be attracted to butches. But just because it's cringe and not attractive to someone, doesn't mean they have to try to make you more attractive to them, while acting like a moralfag about it. Like some people ARE into it, aren't they allowed to have something too? Or does everyone just HAVE to be standard gender conforming with only societally acceptable amounts of androgyny? The people who ARE into it, just get ridiculed, accused of not even being into women by both sides of the gender debate within the community, are told that they might as well date men etc. Like they end up using the same type of arguments as straight lesbophobes do about lesbians in general. They'll accuse butches of being manlite and wanting to mimic heterosexuality, in the same breath as they themselves end up ironically enough sounding like a scrote kek.

I get that apps are too telegraphed but you're also expecting to have a meet cute like in secondary school. You're grown now, you're gonna need to get over this desire for romanticized childhood experiences. Bumble BFF is right there, you can meet women on entirely platonic terms and then get acquainted with her friends if you want. Or get a hobby group. Lamenting what isn't available to you anymore is a really pointless thing, you're making yourself jaded by doing this shit. Let go of what doesn't exist anymore.

It's weird because some effeminate lesbians constantly cry about how they feel like Not Like Other Lesbians because they're feminine presenting and lesbians are "expected" to look masculine. It sounds more like them being offended that someone associates lesbians with being barefaced ugly bulldykes than having their sexuality questioned because they always take it out on butches instead of the straight people who think they're not "lesbian enough". Like I'm supposed to be sorry that I cause lesbians a bad rep by being what I am or something. It's the shit you find on sites like L Chat constantly.

Meet cutes can still be possible as an older lesbian. You don’t have to go along with dating rules of today you can write them yourself. Like waiting three months to have sex and hanging out before you call it anything. You can have boundaries anon and build up the tension in getting to know someone.

I don't expect a whole ass meetcute, but things like Bumble BFF are just used by straight women around here. And like I said, I don't want to make friends just to find someone via them, because if we do end up breaking up, you end up with a whole taking sides situation and a lot more drama. It also doesn't solve the modern dating problem where you really really don't get the chance to let things build naturally. If there is any interest, there is the expectation to immediately make it official and figure things out later. You cannot circumvent that really, without it being seen as an outright rejection or you being a massive fuckboy(girl). Then with the added issue that immediately get the whole friend group on your ass over it, if you did meet that way. Nowadays you're not just talking to one person, but everything you sent is analyzed by some secret ass group chat and you're expected to have active social media profiles for everyone to cyberstalk. I also have to go to the other side of the fucking country to even find other lesbians or even a bi woman. Like what the fuck happened? It's not like I come across them at work or anywhere else, not even at any sports I've done. It feels like I'm the only one in like a 50km radius at least. When I was younger it felt like I was tripping over them left and right, that is what I lament, not the meetcute.

I honestly have not had this happen to me. Ime when I go on a date we're all seeing multiple people or at least are not in an official thing until something builds and we don't rush into stuff. You can be explicit about your expectations/boundaries and find likeminded people. You can even be clear about that in your bio so you don't accidentally rope someone in, there are ways. Maybe all this is a zoomer thing you're describing but I'm in my early 30s and have no clue what you're talking about with needing socials to stalk etc.

>idk maybe it's the feminist in me but I think divine masculine and feminine should all be abolished and drag kings are cringe/ old lesbians had their own skeletons in the closet dealing with misogyny and society creating this strict butch/femme symbiosis that seemed at times toxic.

Well she elaborates what she meant a couple posts down from that and while I don't think she's right about us, she also wasn't phrasing things in a way where she thinks she's the authority on how we feel/think. Some of the replies to her speculative posts read like straight up trauma responses and it's not the only time this has happened here. She's not force feminizing you, she didn't pressure you to conform while you were a young masc girl. She's not your oppressor. She's trying to be critical about the categories we sort ourselves into and asserts that maybe we're going against the grain in a way where we're overcompensating which yeah, in some ways that can happen. You can look at examples of butches calling butch4butch "faggy" for that, as an example. It's not possible to say you're immune to societal norms when your response is so emotional. An unaffected mind would not go into such hard defense. Of course it hurts, we're audited both on our masculinity and female sex all the time. But she isn't the arbiter of that, by her own admission. Especially considering how a lot of us also have dysphoria, it's okay to ask questions.

Yeah this is a zoomer thing, I can't exactly help that. Like you could be talking for a week on a dating app, not even having met and it already starts with "you're probably talking to your other hoes", because you don't have some social media they can stalk while you're busy and can't respond to a dm. Things didn't go much different after meeting people at parties either. Any time I try to set boundaries, it's always taken as evidence that I want to cheat, while we're just in the talking stage and aren't even dating, so it wouldn't even be cheating. Never mind that I probably wasn't even talking to other people, but I was just busy.
>Some of the replies to her speculative posts read like straight up trauma responses and it's not the only time this has happened here.
I'm more projecting all the other times anons come with retarded takes and everyone trying to explain, for the 50th time in these threads (being hyperbolic), WHY it's not just a style to many and that there is an emotional component to it. And WHY someone might be mad about it. Because that's another disingenuous thing. Of course it's easy to stay calm and never show any emotion about the topic, when you have no horse in the race. So yeah, it feels kinda retarded that they always inevitably say "damn why you mad, I'm leaving". Then a couple months later, or maybe just a couple weeks and it happens all over again. Like fucking groundhogday. It gets a bit difficult to give any benefit of doubt and just assume these are genuine questions.
>She's trying to be critical about the categories we sort ourselves into
It's beating a dead horse at this point. It's discussed constantly in this thread alone, all over the internet, in so many books, on tv, straight people, everyone has some enlightened neutral "I don't need labels" take. At some point it doesn't come across any more like wanting genuine discussion, but more like concerntrolling or being really dense. If you say " maybe it's the feminist in me" and then go shit on masculine female gender expression, you definitely do imply you think it's straight up misogynistic.

I'm a millenial in my 30's and this happens to me too, it's not just a zoomer thing. That anon just got lucky dating. U-hauling BPD-chans are a real thing to look out for.

and then I replied to her post talking about the post that post was responding too >>262727 That's where the pre-mtf term came from. If I even said that later down in the post but I guess you over looked that.

I didn't come up with that term I was replying to it. And the masculine and feminine terms was a very badly not even explained philosophical idea I believe in. I hate drag queens and feel equally off about drag kings for the same reason it wasn't a dig at you. It's funny how you say femme is the pinnacle of lesbian experience today when it felt like it was the opposite a decade or two before (not saying that for oppression points, just an observation.

NTA, but you know that implies you think butches or femmes don't just do whatever they want? Maybe you didn't mean it that way though. They aren't prescriptive categories, but descriptive.

Also at some point when you're the majority, you don't use labels anymore. You don't see straight people actively calling themselves straight, because they are the norm. Which is why they get upset when lgb people talk about sexual orientation and do the whole "why do you need labels?" spiel too. They don't get it, because they are the norm. It's like saying that lesbian is a restrictive, prescriptive category, like how polilez treat it. Instead of something you just are and that happens to be a word that helps to describe what you are, which is useful to have, when you want to find others like you or information.

Besides a slight uptick around the 90's, the amount of butches has been at a steady decline since the 70's. Radfems introduced a feminine "neutral androgyny" uniform, which is based on the historical gender expression of middle class lesbians who hated the guts of working class butch-femme culture. So jeans, feminine tunic or blouse, long loose hair, no make-up. Many femmes joined radfems, because it was not much compromise, but butches were expected to go above and beyond, so generally were left behind and not allowed to come to meetings. So butch went into relative obscurity, transition shenanigans, media starts to finally portray lesbian relationships, but only femme4femme. Which stayed the standard until the 90's, when butch-femme made a slight comeback in the community at least. Shane and Max from the Lword basically embodies the position of masc women in the 2000's. The most masc you could be is Shane tier, or the pushing to transition would already start. This is how the goalposts also moved for what was considered masc and what was considered feminine or neutral. We're at a point what is considered "neutral" now, was very feminine just 30 years ago and what is considered masc, would've been considered neutral. So over several decades, the group who set the norm, became the norm, then decided labels weren't necessary anymore. Then wonder why those who are left behind just feel more erased.

Like it's easy to say labels like masculinity or femininity are fake, like sure. Everything is fake and a social construct, but that doesn't change that there are material consequences to these social constructs. If you are told your entire life you aren't feminine enough and there are consequences to not being feminine enough, real life consequences, then it's fucking real. Like these are words just used to communicate and while meaning changes over time, there's still a meaning to be understood and it's a lot easier to use them rather than have to type out an essay explaining everything. Of course you feel like you don't need words, when they don't affect your life and you personally don't need them. You used tomboy in this post >>285770 why? Why is that word okay, but someone else using "butch" isn't? You think describing things in masculine or feminine terms is useless and that it shouldn't be necessary, but here you use "tomboy". So obviously you do understand categories? You just only accept the categories you personally relate to, which is natural.

You keep ignoring certain points that I reply to you telling you I agree. Again I never used the term pre-trans I was just commenting on it from another post on lolcow. Butch/femme are perfect words to use. I just don't use them to describe myself. Why do you have such a hate boner for femmes? I'm not even femme. Being seen as societies little darling is only really beneficial when being in the closet. Femmes also have to deal with being pornified and lesbophobia. And does the gay community really fall all over themselves for what society deems ok? Maybe to a certain extent but we have our own hierarchies in the community that doesn't follow what mainstream media tells us what's it.

>I don't know what we're talking about anymore because I think being masculine is not a statement but just how someone is/wants to present?


Aren't we saying the same thing. Now it just seems like you want to be bitter and fight with randos online. Idk life sucks it really does and it seems to get worse and worse. I'm sad that I probably won't have sex for another couple of years and I'm only getting older. But what does getting angry and bitter do to change those things? Nothing. You got to cultivate your inner garden and enjoy what you can. Having a partner shouldn't be the end all be all of life it should be the the frosting on your cake. It enhances the flavor but it's not needed to enjoy the cake. Same with how society perceives us. You can't change peoples minds on how they see you or treat you.

I literally posted a long ass explanation that femmes became the majority and stopped calling themselves femmes, because they are the majority, just like all majorities stop labeling themselves. "Femme" doesn't just mean high femme ultra pink, lots of make-up etc. Femmes also sometimes wear tuxedoes or chinos with oxford shoes, while wearing their pencil skirts on other days. Talking about butch erasure doesn't mean I hate femmes. I'm just saying after femmes having the spotlight for decades, with both positive and negative consequences (not discounting that), can we maybe like, not be erased?
>And does the gay community really fall all over themselves for what society deems ok? Maybe to a certain extent but we have our own hierarchies in the community that doesn't follow what mainstream media tells us what's it.
Funny how butches are below at the hierarchy in the community though when it comes to gender expression, just like in straight society lol. Or do you really want to dispute that? Literally all sides of the gender debate hate the guts of butches. Yeah it's not just about mainstream media, I literally explained how society and developments within feminism affected this too and if you scroll up enough you can see the countless screenshots from studies and journals I posted ages ago.

Samefagging to correct myself, screenshots were in previous thread(s), but here's an example of how this shit has been written to death about for 50 years and it's time to stop acting like "maybe butches are toxic" is a hot take which actually adds anything to the conversation whenever butches dare to be mentioned, if you yourself aren't butch and not up to date on the conversation. Like you're allowed to say it, but you're stuck in the past, we've moved on. Most people complaining about butches probably have never even met a butch and only know of stories from the fucking 50's. Butches have changed, you don't think that wouldn't happen after 50 years of "butches are man lite, toxic masculine, oppress femmes etc."? Try to find a butch who isn't a massive softie really.

I need help nonnas. I went on two dates with two different girls recently. One girl is on paper a perfect match. She's masc and has the same hobbies and she's pretty based politically. The other is not at all what i thought I'd be into. She's an SJW artist with the most obnoxious opinions but she's so hot I'm so into her. I know logically I should pursue a relationship with the person I agree with more and is more stable but damn this pink haired crazy chick is so hot.

You don’t hang around enough early 20s straight girls. They ALWAYS joke about fucking each other, or at the very least “marrying” their bff and being wives. That’s the whole point. That it’s a joke. They don’t mean it. It’s universally agreed that het girls can talk about fucking anime women all day, but if they only fuck men irl, it means the woman is straight. It’s the same with lesbians joking about anime men. You cannot compare lines on a screen to a real life man. Especially the anime man I posted about, who literally looks like a woman and was originally a woman.

I stg some lolcow lesbians are so autistic and ready to argue that they genuinely can’t tell the difference between a fauxbian that thirsts for irl cock vs a JOKE about blowing an anime man. Do you guys need tone indicators like the autistic Aidens? Would a silly little /j be enough to indicate a joke? /question /passive aggressive /teasing /negative (just in case people can’t read this one either)

I swear straight women act more gay than lesbians oftentimes, kek. They don't have any inhibition making outrageous jokes and even doing gay shit as a joke, exactly because they're not attracted to women. They don't have any internalized shame and don't think it could ever possibly be taken seriously, because the whole idea of it is preposterous in their mind, so to them it's no big deal.

That makes sense. Personally I worry any partner I have won't be fulfilled since it's a huge boundary for me, so I'm likely just projecting.

Though I don't like the assumption that not wanting to be eaten out is just autism or insecurity (not something you said but it's a sentiment I've seen in the past when talking to other lesbians), it can be for a lot of lesbians, but it just gives me flashbacks to a past relationship and until I can afford to go back to therapy it's just something that won't be on the table for me.

Shorter tops, doesn't have to be crop but it should end before it hits your widest part. I like to buy men's shirts and cut them shorter. Can be baggy, you don't want to cinch the waist though if you're trying to present masc. You can tuck it in any way you like as well. Shorts should be slightly higher waist than the ones tall women wear, make sure the hem ends at the skinnier part of your thigh, past the thick fleshy bit so you conceal a but of your softness. Skinny bottoms + baggy crop top can also work as other anon said but it will read as feminine on a curvy frame, imo the top should be long if you're gonna combine it with something like tight bike shorts.

Right. I also hate the degeneracy of gay men and hate fag hags who cape for them but it's so transparently homophobic. They bash gay men for everything and give their Nigels a pass. Did you know that the surrogacy industry was invented by and is exclusively used by gay men?

I'm stoned and cranky so maybe I'm just being too negative but sometimes it feels like radical feminism at it's core is incompatible with lesbianism. Like idk radical feminism is supposed to be a class-based movement that advocates for women's interests as a broad class instead of focusing on individual rights, right? And as a class, at least 95% of women are heterosexual. Even among same-sex attracted women, exclusively homosexual women are an even smaller minority, we probably make up 1% of the population at maximum. We don't actually matter in the grand scheme of female liberation you know? Heterosexual women have no real material reason to advocate for us (unless they happen to have a homosexual friend/family member that they love) and scapegoating the entire LGB as groomers alongside the TQ is the easiest way to end the AGP bullshit.

And this has been a pattern in radical feminism. 2nd wave was full of homophobia, half the 'lesbian activists' of the 2nd wave were polilezzes who redefined 'lesbian' to mean 'platonic female solidarity' and ousted all the icky vagina fetishists. And even the political lesbians were rejected by mainstream feminists as a dangerously radical 'lavender menace'.

Idk I just feel like due to the fact that we're such a tiny minority, any class-based women's movement will end up being a 'let's negotiate a better patriarchal bargain with Nigel and scapegoat all those Nigel-less freaks' movement.

And for the record I'm definitely not trying to say that liberal 'choke on my girlcock' feminism is better for lesbians. It's just frustrating. And it's getting on my nerves today specifically because radfems will use us when convenient to point out how gross AGPs are, but have 0 interest in preserving LGB rights or making a distinction between normie homosexuals and groomer freaks.

Intersectionality was originally introduced due to lesbophobia, classism and racism issues within radical feminism. Later it got coopted and now intersectionality has a bad rep and is seen as automatically wanting to be inclusive of TiMs. But radical feminism without any intersectionality is just trickle down liberation. You have to trust and believe that your average straight middle class woman will totally not turn on you and will totally fulfill her promise to eventually get to your issues when they have been liberated, after you've supported the movement unquestionably, while getting nothing for it.
>we probably make up 1% of the population at maximum. We don't actually matter in the grand scheme of female liberation you know? Heterosexual women have no real material reason to advocate for us (unless they happen to have a homosexual friend/family member that they love) and scapegoating the entire LGB as groomers alongside the TQ is the easiest way to end the AGP bullshit.
And if you try to advocate for yourself or with other lgb people, you're seen as problematic. There is this expectation that you only stick with radical feminism and you only fight for the issues they say is okay, but yeah it does indeed always boil down to 'let's negotiate a better patriarchal bargain with Nigel and scapegoat all those Nigel-less freaks'. I don't even feel like modern "radfems" try to get a better patriarchal bargain. Working with the people who want to introduce Handmaid's Tale conditions, because they MIGHT own the troons, is a dangerous gamble. It also feels retarded that they'll have enough excuses as to why you should just look past all that, but will think you're literally satan for donating to an abortion clinic which has some gender neutral language shit going on, probably to avoid getting cancelled while just doing their fucking job. Like I don't even feel like they care about shit which does affect straight women a lot. It's just everything has to be sacrificed to own the troons, including abortion rights and access.

Today I awoke from a dream with tears running down my face because I was looking and waiting for that woman to talk to me again. I'm that ldr anon who went to visit her and cried in the hotel room. I thought I'd be better from now but I'm thinking of getting therapy for this because I feel so betrayed and hurt. She has never contacted me since that day. I know she doesn't love me, but I need to be ok with that. I'm thinking therapy can help me. I'm also looking forward to getting a new job and moving to a new city so I'm looking forward to that so I can focus on my career. I don't want to be sad anymore and lethargic.

I know how you feel anon I had to move back home and in the past growing up in the closet when all my relationships ended or we were fighting I always had to act cheerful like nothing was going on in my life because I'm not out to my religious parents. It's a horrible and stunting feeling not being able to express yourself or let it out at home.

I recently broke up with my ex and it's been 1 month of no contact and the gauze is slowly clearing from my eyes seeing what was wrong with the relationship and how this is for the best. I hope you can have that clarity soon too.

Having religious parents with everything going on sounds tough. My parents are catholic and even though I'm not in the closet I still can't cry properly because my family is very emotionally unavailable and the fact that I have younger siblings is also a factor since I don't want to alarm them.

Even though I am seeing everything wrong I still have this hope that she will somehow make it all better. I hate that I think this and even use tarot readings to comfort me on it even though I know the truth. Yesterday I did have the epiphany of needing to get over her. I tell myself she was just using me, it was all online and she never wanted to act upon her promises or she didn't see the relationship as real. I tell myself all those things so I can move on, but as I said tonight I had a dream waking up crying. This is all hard on me but I am currently in a state of limbo in other aspects of my life and have a good amount of free time to myself that I'd like to change it into positive events for myself.

years ago i would stalk the reddit profile of this insane stay-at-home mom w a 14 yo butch daughter. she posted on /r/gendercritical almost constantly, complaining less about her daughter's gender bullshit and more about her homosexuality, how she decorated her room black/blue, how she played football, how she behaved and dressed masculine, how she skateboarded w boys her age after school, etc. disgusted me so much and reminded me of my own mother's criticisms. i think a lot of moms are so ashamed of their butch girls and it leads a lot of us to believe we'd be better sons.

gendies suck and all but the women who have co-opted radical feminism really arent much better. in its purest form i think radfem is pro-lesbian but lets be honest those ideals will never be achieved as long as most of the female population is male-partnered. and i have no interest in changing that status quo because what a retarded idea. i just want to get married and saunter off into rural america with my mrs anon.

I don't understand why they think that butches will finally start be more gender conforming after getting enough shit for it, instead of just being made to feel like women aren't allowed to be masculine, 'so I can't be a woman'. My grandma has much better takes on gender nonconformity, than the generation of women after her, because she still remembers not being allowed to enter class because she was wearing trousers. Which is why she literally has no education. Or how even straight people used to go to clubs and bars to watch women perform on stage while crossdressing. She saw that regularly while working as a waitress, even at very well respected establishments. You weren't cool unless you had at least one woman regularly performing while wearing a tuxedo and tophat. It feels like we've gone backwards. How come my grandma thinks I'm cool, but both TRA's and "gc"'ers think gnc women are backwards and dangerous? Representation matters. When do gnc women get to be cool anymore? Also some people need to touch grass and open a history book. Without gnc women being so "cringe and embarrassing", no woman or girl would be allowed to wear trousers today.

I’m catching feelings for my best friend of many many years… I don’t know what happened nonas. Shes a goooorgeous woman but i swear I had never looked at her that way until recently… Maybe cause when I met her I was in a very committed relationship and almost married my ex gf. So I obviously never saw my friend as anything but that. Plus she’s bisexual but has only dated man so I also kinda doubted she had much attraction towards women. Ive met the type so. But these past year she only talks about girl crushes and cute girls she meets in her groups and stuff. Shes really insisting that she wants to date a woman and tbh I still didnt take it very seriously. I thought she was just curious but she was going to get over it and date men again tbh. And I don’t know what the fuck happened this past month but I’ve been having dreams that we are dating and for the first time EVER I’m like daydreaming that we could be a really cute couple… And its so fucking stupid cause she is way out of my league in terms of looks and smarts and everything. but I can’t stop thinking about her. It’s getting to the point where it’s overwhelming and i feel like I’m going to explode if I don’t say something soon. But I can’t I don’t wanna mess up our friendship and plus I already know she’s not into me and I’m a fucking 2 and she’s a 100000.

It’s so painful and stupid. Nonas do you think this might some witchcraft or some shit. Like I swear to God this started from one day to the other its so strange and fucking retarded and i hate my gay ass

It's strange to me how you were in an online LDR of 7 years without ever meeting each other. Did you ever video call? If you meet someone online and become official, you either have to make plans right away to meet or become official after you meet. Not trying to blame you but when I was in an LDR of a partner I had met online, I had been dying to meet her right away as soon as we got into a relationship and started videocalling so I just can't comprehend how you two put it off for so long. There's this common perception that online relationships "feel less real" and maybe your ex believed that too, that you were just an accessory to her.

We video called and we also did phone calls.

I didnt put it off for long, during the first year we both tried to meet but she has issues with controlling family members and during that time she listened to them. We initially only dated because we both met when we were both attempting to get into the same school. We both got accepted but her parents refused to let her go to school due to "money" issues and soon after she kept saying she couldn't see me because of her family. I was the one that talked to her about visiting her but she kept saying she had no money or etc. But recently when I went to see her I guess I saw that those were just excuses and that yeah, she only liked the attention I gave her and she used it like a crutch because she was lonely or something. Now that she has money and coworkers she just stopped talking to me. I hope to move on from these feelings soon.

Nonnie you don't need to explain yourself to this unempathic anon. There's been some bitter zoomers in here this past month and I think that anons one of them. She/he is just rude, what does her comments help or bring to the table other then just lightly jabbing you? I was in a ldr for 4 years and my ex came from a extremely traditional asian family I let it be an excuse until I started crushing really hard on this chick in real life and realized that she didn't really have any plans to move our relationship forward (dated at 18 , visited her at 21 and broke up at 23). I'm glad I had the courage to break up then because I probably would have let it continue if I had not seen a glimpse of what a real life relationship could be like.

People on this board have been petulant and belligerent for no fucking reason. It's like they're mad at life and taking their hostility out on the one place they can be heard and understood. It doesn't make sense. I'm sorry you're not getting the safe space to heal that you deserve.

Also be sure to spend several years if you can healing and trying to learn from this relationship. After I broke up with my ldr I decided to uhaul with a bpd bisexual and though I'm thankful for the growth I've made as a human it was one of the worst mistakes of my life.

Ayrt, the other anon is right and I was being snarky and inconsiderate. Sorry.

It sounds like you've put more effort into the relationship than what she gave. I hope with time you will see the relationship for what it truly is, see her for what she truly is, and recognize your worth. I'm sure you have so much love to give and you will find someone someday who will match the same level of affection you can give them. In the grand scheme of things, this will just be a tiny blimp in your life. Do you feel like you've missed the relationship more than you missed her? Or that you were just in love with the relationship rather than in love with the person? Once you start separating these feelings, then it will be easier to move on.

I'm sorry you went through that anon. Yes, I am taking my time to heal. I am not a person who dates for just 'fun' I am really just looking for long term relationships and commitment which makes it harder in my area to date anyways. I'm concerned about my age, my virginity, and the fact that my lesbian dating pool is so small.
I would never admit this irl but I don't want to date bisexual women and I also want to date a virgin just like me because I'm really concerned that I am no good or they'd think ' wow you're so old and you don't have any experience?'. I think the reason why I haven't had any experience is because I didn't have any sexual awakening until I was 25 when I realized the reason I fell in love with this ldr. I was very happy finding out who I was and what I liked.
Thank you for your encouragement and also thank you for your input.
Have you found luck in the future in your current relationships since then?

Setting boundaries and being able to have some me-time is important. Especially since some couples try to merge or live in a bubble together. Giving each other space doesn't automatically mean breaking up. If anything, not giving any space out of trust issues and paranoia, can be quite harmful. You just got to communicate about it on time and set the definition of what "space" means for them, how long they need etc., if they request it and not immediately jumping to conclusions about ulterior motives.

Girl I was dating and with whom I spent such an amazing time, that gave me hope for a beautiful love story, unexpectedly and suddenly broke up with me, after all the plans we made, all the deep talks. I feel paralyzed from the pain. I've always had bad luck in love, and for the very first time I felt like I found someone good for me. It was all green flags, and then… Just as I expected it the least… Bam. I can't move, I keep crying, and don't even dare of looking at my phone gallery. I never got this far with a woman before, never felt so secure and wanted. How am I supposed to trust anyone again, if such a dream can turn into a nightmare in the span of a night, without anything to preannounce it? I'm in my late 20s with no long term relationship experience, and I don't have any hope for it. All that physical affection just made me crave for more, only for it to be taken away from me like that. This pain is excruciating.

Silly nonna, this is obviously a heterosexual couple
>Vivien and Barney’s partnership was creatively bountiful and romantically tumultuous. They soon uncovered a deeply felt and shared appreciation of Sappho, the 6th-century lyric poet from Mytilene on the island of Lesbos, Greece, whose poems exist in mostly fragmentary form – much of it recovered on strips of papyrus during excavations in Egypt or else quoted by other authors. Approximately just 650 lines of Sappho’s work are extant today. Vivien and Barney both learnt ancient Greek to read her writing, which describes love, sensuality, longing and heartbreak between women without the prejudice that came to exist some millennia after she wrote. Vivien was the more committed student and, during what Tama Lea Engelking has coined her ‘prolific Sapphic phase’, produced the first ‘explicitly lesbian translation of Sappho’s poetry’ (Mendès-Leite). In 1903 its first edition was published. It features Sappho’s original Greek verses alongside Vivien’s direct translations and unique versification in French; its cover features a custom illustration by Symbolist and Art Nouveau artist Lucien Levy-Dhurmer.

Warning for blog but I met a girl who's absolutely gorgeous - a hundred percent my type in regards of looks and personality, we share the same hobbies, interests and have a similar wavelength overall. I've been getting closer to her and growing more intense feelings to the point I feel like my heart stops and my body gets tense whenever I meet her face to face. The problem is that she's straight and very insistent about it and also a dedicated TRA. I feel bad that she probably thinks that I'm just being a great friend and an interesting person but actually I'm just wishing she was into women so I could ask her out and see if we have chance of working out but if you're straight then you're straight - I'm not going to be one of those people trying to live with the "everyone's a bit bi" cope. This has happened to me so many times, I meet a woman, develop a crush but have my feelings go to waste once she introduces her boyfriend to me down the road to the point I'm almost used to never having my feelings reciprocated.

She drunkenly made out with a friend on her couch and she told me it wasn't a big deal…but she didn't talk to me since July. She stopped talking to me in july..a week after my friend died and I was grieving…she was a demon to me. She told me terrible things she made me feel so ugly. I feel so ugly and unwanted. I wish I didnt love her anymore…im so traumatized by this. I trusted her so much. She never loved me and she only used me. I was never rspecial to her. I believed her when she said I was the only person she'd love and she'd marry.

She said she needs time to 'heal' and process this until the end of Sept. at that time I'm going to end it with her. I can't deal with jealousy, I can't deal with her protecting that other girl. This other girl isn't even lesbian. She is bicurious and with a boyfriend. My lesbian ex cheated on me with a bicurious girl with a boyfriend. I think they want to use her as a third if she allows it. I want no part in this anymore. I want someone who really finds me attractive or at least cares about me. I am at a low point.

Do you think it can work long term with someone not out to their family and who has no intentions of ever telling them? She’s from a Muslim family and so am I, so I do understand, but she talks about wanting to get married one day and have a long term relationship and realistically I don’t see how it could work. Like wouldn’t your parents eventually realise if you’re living with a woman for your whole life and doing everything with them?

The woman I fell in love with has all of the traits I look for in a partner, but she's a genderfluid any-but-she/her pronoun user. Honestly it doesn't really bother me since she's pretty much a normie outside of that and she's open to my feminist sperging, but it feels so awkward to have to call her my boyfriend around others since she doesn't like feminine terms.

I'm sorry you're hurting so much nonna. You just need to forget about this woman, block her and be done forever, don't be tempted to work things out or give her more chances or friendship. I was in a similar situation a few years ago. Stuck in this shitty LDR that was obviously never gonna work out but I had sunk so much time/effort into it already that it felt impossible to walk away. I know it hurts but breaking it off is the hardest part, once you block her and are done with her completely you'll start to heal, I promise. I know it hurts to be alone but once you start to heal being single is 100000000000x better than a shitty LDR trust me. I know I'm just a random stranger but I'm genuinely proud of you for ending things with her.
> I want no part in this anymore. I want someone who really finds me attractive or at least cares about me.
Write this on your mirror or something and read it every single day because it's true. Your ex sucked and you deserve better. Even being single is better because you can spoil yourself and dedicate your extra time to hobbies and stuff without that cloud of anxiety hovering over your head 24/7.

I just think it's shitty. I know we're supposed to say "it works for some, can't judge" etc etc. but I do judge people who aren't out and still wanna date long term. Disrespect to the self from family maybe I could take but I'd never maintain a relationship with anyone who would see my girlfriend as anything derogatory. I want my "loved ones" to welcome her the way they would an opposite sex partner. Anything less is an insult to her. To be fair, I also would not be okay with merely being tolerated by my own family, anyone who does not accept me does not get to have my love. I don't really care if people who are closeted find my view extreme or offensive, it's still not as offensive as your pathetic servitude to your family who doesn't even know the real you.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't pursue this. I think it's understandable that college students etc would want to wait until they're stable before coming out. If she's already stable and has no plan to cut them off she's never gonna do it. She'll leave you for a man once the family pressure gets intense enough. It sounds like she hasn't realistically thought everything through, there's no way she'll be able to keep up the charade because even if you're 'just friends' at a certain point she'll be expected to stop being 'single' and settle down with a man.

Thank you so much. This thread has helped me so much and I want everyone to know I really do feel better seeing messages of support. Thanks for taking time out of your days to reply.

This is my first heartbreak, and while I'm so devastated I'm also grateful to experience this low.
I still love her despite everything but as a partner she can't even do the bare minimum and she had no remorse telling me what happened. She was devoid of any responsibility and even sort of blamed me. She really scared me how nasty and mean someone who claimed to love you can be. She chose the words most hurtful to me in the world and pierced through me to hurt so deep. That she didn't even know if I was attractive or not like the other girl , that she was still a virgin so who cares, shit happens, that she liked it and didn't regret it. She was so cold. And I was made to feel so so small.
Everyday I'm glad that I don't want to look back.
My friends are all supportive and telling me that anyone would want to have me as a partner. I have hope that I can get married one day to a faithful woman and she could love me for real. I wish I had a sign on my back that said don't touch me or talk to me if you're going to hurt me.

That sounds pretty terrible and exhausting nona. Have you tried discussing or talking to her about this? Or what makes you think she'll grow out of it?

No. 289310

I know this is incredibly embarrassing but I'm a little bit in love with my therapist. She's everything I like, attractive, intelligent, tall, feminine. She made a pass at me before and sometimes I can't help flirting with her. We went out for lunch recently and she told me how she wants to branch out and she feels like she hasn't really been living her life to the fullest (she's married and has a child). She asks me about being a lesbian a lot, and suggested that it's something she relates to, whatever that means. Am I overthinking this? I mean it's the most lesbian situation ever. She texts me sometimes with little tidbits about her day. It's like she's skirting a boundary without actually crossing it.

No. 289313

>>289310
Um Anon she has already crossed the boundary by flirting with you, accepting you flirting in return, seeing you outside of sessions, texting you, everything. That is not normal or acceptable in her practice. I would encourage you to drop her as a therapist and pursue her as a love interest but the fact that she's so flagrantly overstepped her professional boundary leads me to believe she'd trespass on your personal ones as well. In any case, get a new therapist.

No. 289317

Reality check for you: this therapist is knee-deep in ethics violation and is mid-bi-awakening and you're thinking of going for it. She already did actually cross many boundaries. In addition, since she is a working professional with a career presumably in the western sphere, she had agency in choosing to have a whole marriage and kid, thus is not a fucking lesbian but a bored bisexual.

Sis, I don’t think you should pursue this relationship further, both on therapist and friendship/romance side. As a therapist, she outed herself as an inept one, violating professional ethics. As a potential girlfriend…do you seriously think dating a woman that picks her partners from her client pool as a therapist is a good idea?? Do you not see how fucking inapropriate it is to send personal texts and hang out with your patient? Wtf kind of decision making is this.

I don't want to rock the boat and inadvertently push her more to gender stuff, so I kinda just go along with it and haven't thought to discuss it too much. But I think she'll grow out of it because, after talking a lot with her about her past, it's clear she just has a lot of internalized misogyny. I think if I keep helping her out of those weird notions she has about being a woman (i.e. by being my own natural masculine self and owning it and reassuring her it's ok to be hairy and not wear makeup, etc.) that she'll realize she can just be a masculine woman, too. She already thanks me a ton for reassuring her about her insecurities, so I have hope.

as an emotionally repressed and walled off person, i wish there was more of a lesbian hook-up culture too. maybe there was moreso back in the 80s? it's kind of hard to decipher recent lesbian history when it's basically partitioned into the straight polilezzes that hated homosexuals that had sex, and the lesbians who subsequently seemed to group up more around gay men bc they were actually SSA at least. but nobody really cares about documenting anything about women so there's a lot that gets caught up in the noise.

the other problem is if you try to create spaces (apps, bars, etc) that are actually conducive to hooking up, they're immediately flooded by both trannoids and normal men. maybe the difficulty of finding actually compatible women is what causes lesbians to latch on when you find someone you have any chemistry with.

i think it's kind of exhausting. i just wish i could have a casual relationship with a woman

Same. I'm constantly horny and I just want steamy sex or even making out with no strings attached but it feels like everyone will end up catching feelings and becoming jealous and wanting commitment anyway. When I was younger everyone wanted to experiment but back then I was too repressed to even touch a titty, and now that I'm in my early 30's it's either marry or stay dry. It's frustrating and using apps feels like I'm setting myself up for a serial killer preying on women.

Wanting casual stuff apparently makes more sense if your 20, but not older. It doesn't make sense how you're expected to want to settle down at 30+ even if you're gay because everyone has different milestones and experiences. I missed out on the "fun stuff" you're supposed to do during your late teens-20s due to circumstances like being hardcore closeted because I was forcibly outed in high school, then getting abruptly fired from my first job and then all the crap with higher education, I feel more ready now for mingling in my 30s but hardly anyone my age is interested, and even when swiping for those available in my state, it's just "looking for the one" "don't bother if you're only here for sex", etc.

No wonder LDR/e-dating is so common. I'd settle for someone to sext with and talk about geek stuff if I could confirm they're an actual woman and mutually attracted.

My sister was trying to find books on being happy single (she's straight) and she was telling me how she was shocked seeing all these books talk about polilez shit and what I was telling her all these years was true.

I was on Lchat fake lesbians thread and just saw that the get the l out leader is a polilez with a child and a boyfriend. Is our community made of so much polilez straightbians because they crave attention and power while most lesbians just want to live? And even olden day lesbians thinking all old fashioned thinking it was a choice and still sleeping with men?

Why are we so entwined with polilez. I wish we could have history rewritten by real lesbians or at least more voices from real lesbians. Why is it so hard to find any. Like I hardly if ever see any of these lesbian personalities online talk about the innate otherness and deep pit of hollowness we live with and learn to get used to. Or feeling like a predator during our teen years and learning how to navigate those feelings and how we view ourselves and women. Why does no one talk about these things? Unless I'm not looking in the right places.

No. 289738

>>289715
Polilez in the 70's basically claimed that they invented lesbianism and that there were no real lesbians before them, since it requires being "out" as a radfem to them. So yeah that did affect a lot of literature. Lesbian radfems from continental Europe were generally more sane. Monique Wittig talked a lot about the intense otherness lesbians feel from women attracted to men, which is why she was kinda bamboozled by Murican polilez. She basically predicted the "lesbian is my gender" crowd, because society has made being male attracted such an integral part of womanhood, that being an actual lesbian feels very othering.
Queer theory or older shit is also automatically verboten for anyone slightly gc, even if it has nothing to do with trans shit, or isn't even necessarily pro trans, but just describes the history without going into a rant. The Well of Loneliness? The protagonist is too male-aligned and too comfortable with invert-theory from a century ago. Even though that was the only theory about lesbians at that time, which actually included sexual attraction. "Queer theory" is a minefield, but not everything is the worst shit you've ever seen. Jack (Judith) Halberstam is a good author, I especially enjoyed "female masculinity". Her other books are still good, bit jarring titles, but personally I like the combination of high, low theory and pop culture. You should see her as your friend ranting while high about how Brienne of Tarth should've been a butch lesbian and how she thinks Spongebob is gay, instead of getting ready to be offended and taking things too seriously. Ivan E. Coyote is an enby, but her book Tomboy Survival guide is definitely about feeling othered as a gnc lesbian. Sometimes verboten authors have the good shit and honestly their relative silence about TiMs is deafening. These books aren't even recommended among actual TRA's, because that shit is considered "crypto terfy" nowadays.
Lesbian history is also muddy, because a lot of women we would now call lesbians, didn't call themselves lesbians back in the day. Back in the day they also didn't even know about bisexuality, so bi women with a very heavy lean towards women were often mingling in the same group as women we'd today call lesbians. This was pre-polilez and also makes things more complicated. I got this from "Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold", which is a book with lots of interviews from the community. Nowadays it's considered "queer theory" for some reason, which is why many gc people automatically filter it out, but from what I can tell is that the author just included an updated introduction about how she finds queer theory to be confusing, but she's not going to meddle with younger generations.
There's also a whole discussion going on about whether you can call someone an identity they didn't have at that time. Good authors generally say that it's bad to "trans" people from the past and that it's bad to call them a lesbian, since neither was a (popular) concept at that time. Women who called themselves butch-femme in the 50's and 60's, much later heard about lesbian and bi and categorized themselves accordingly (which is what polilez had a problem with). People who weren't alive for the popularization of the word "lesbian" for homosexual women, haven't really had that chance to categorize themselves with modern labels. Like was Anne Lister a lesbian? By our modern standards, yes, but she also wrote a lot about how she was not like the others, in reference to other women we'd consider lesbians nowadays. Maybe she'd view "lesbian" as not specific enough (considering the state of the community nowadays), like she disliked "Sapphic".
>The diaries contain recognizably "sapphic" material, and yet Anne herself did not identify as such and took pains to distinguish between her own "natural" instincts and "sapphic artifices." Her preference for women, she tells one woman she is flirting with, "was all nature. Had it not been genuine the thing would have been different." She goes on, "Got on the subject of Saffic regard. I said there was artifice in it. It was very different from mine & would be no pleasure to me. I liked to have those I loved as near me as possible, etc. Asked if she understood. She said no. I told her I knew by her eyes she did & she did not deny it, therefore I know she understands all about the use of a —"
So besides polilez saying no real lesbians existed before them, there's also the problem that they actually popularized the term. Before that, homosexual women called themselves different terms and often were in communities with bisexual women under the same term, muddling things. There's no clear timeline of lesbian history, just incidences of subcultures springing up around SSA women. I've noticed the authors who are deadset on retconning it as lesbian, come also from polilez authors who generally also need everything to fit a certain agenda. They for some reason can't just describe things as they were or how homosexual women of that time described themselves. It's automatically with a negative and judgmental viewpoint and commentary, because it doesn't fit in modern conceptions. Authors who don't do that, generally get filed automatically under "queer theory", no matter how little it has to do with trans stuff. And ends up not even becoming an option for GC people to read. So yeah good shit exists, but it's hidden in a minefield.

Thank you so much nonnie for the reply I really enjoyed reading it. I guess I should just throw myself into reading all the literature I can find and hopefully find some semblance of the truth through it all. I wonder if there is some lesbians out there cataloging everything right now for future generations. I know there is that one Dirt chick that people said sounded a bit crazy lol. But I think it's a very kind thing to do, sharing that information for other lesbians to feel a connection etc.

I will definitely start out with the people you recommended, it sounds like you've read a lot about this stuff so I look forward to reading them even if they might dabble in the queero shit.

I probably don't sound any less schizo than that person, just a different flavor. You have to be a bit crazy to wade through all that stuff kek. Like there's more to "queer theory" than just the trans shit, some stuff actually makes sense, just has an unfortunate name if you feel particularly uncomfortable with the word "queer". As an example there are whole books and articles talking about what >>289530 this nonna is describing, but you'll find it under the term "queer time". It just means that because of being in the closet, discrimination, being kicked out etc. lgb people generally hit milestones at a later date and sometimes never. Not every thing queerios come up with is crazy and if "queer" feels uncomfortable for you, you can just say you're on lesbian time.

DA I personally tolerated queer theory when it was more aimed towards working class people and somewhat material (I hate Judith Butler but her theory of "gender performativity" had some merit), but like a lot of college-level liberal arts things it's mostly just navel-gazing from bored rich people. And it very quickly ended up turning homophobic since it went from claiming gender roles are socially constructed (true), to sexuality being constructed too, which is the backbone of a lot of trans incel rhetoric. Not to mention the whole rhetoric that gay people who want to be normal and settle down are "heteronormative" but polyamorous straight crossdressers into BDSM are "queer" because it "challenges society"

Yeah I think they went too far in the last part, but I do think that people who want to be "normal" are per definition normative. It's fine if you want to get married and have kids, but let's be real it does kinda suck that you can't escape that pressure even when you already don't fit into the hetero ideal. Some people might finally be fine with lesbians, but only when everyone tries their hardest to be "normal". If anything, it seems like there's more pressure on lesbians than straight women, because obviously you have to make use of samesex marriage or else you're not grateful. You have to make use of IVF, or else you're not grateful for the rights which were given.
This pressure is a bigger problem though than just within the lgb community. I don't often relate to straight women, but when I do, they usually are childfree. I think when theorists use "queer" in that context, they meant it as "weird, in comparison to what is considered normal", but that makes things confusing when "queer" is also used as a synonym for "gay" and as an identity. I can see where it's coming from and honestly at this point I feel like the adding of bdsm & co. shit was almost a psyop. I feel like they were getting at something and got derailed.

AYRT, I actually do too, I don't like being called it, but I understand there's power in reclaiming slurs (I do it) so I didn't have a problem with the whole "queer" thing until it started being homophobic and including non-stereotypical straight people. Even if being same sex attracted isn't common, it's still natural, and I personally don't see my sexuality that I didn't choose as an intentional method to smash society, even if I've always been progressive to some degree. I honestly found "queerness" more validating when I was a teenager and newly out because it felt like I was "taking back" being an outcast, but after actually watching how postmodernism went from being a college niche to Tumblr SJW rhetoric to semi-mainstream I think it's done more harm than good.

>I can see where it's coming from and honestly at this point I feel like the adding of bdsm & co. shit was almost a psyop. I feel like they were getting at something and got derailed.

Yeah, I've seen pedophiles try to claim they're queer too, and the defining "queer" as being abnormal and gay at the same time was also why homophobic asexuals wanted to be considered LGB so bad while also being openly grossed out by gay sex. NGL this is why I'm pro-gatekeeping to a certain degree.

Really wish they'd separate the terms already but that they're merged benefits spicy straights co-opting gay rights efforts so I don't see this changing anytime soon. Like you, I'm also not a reactionary who will ignore a whole branch of literature just to be "based" but if you don't spend a considerable amount of time combing through people's backgrounds and work it's a total minefield.

Not necessarily as a response to you in particular but relating to your point, it's easier imo to have an aversion to the gay=counterculture thing if you're not visibly GNC with principles like being child-free. "I just wanna live" is impossible for a lot of us: the only version of us society would be willing to accept as normal is one that marries, breeds, does not show physical affection in public, looks femme… aka not us anymore. One can be annoyed with the way some of us consider our existence to be inherently rebellious but one really shouldn't deny that it comes from our material reality and not a teenage urge. For some of us, there is no palatable version that would stay true. It smells like a lack of empathy to me, to credit our outcast status to us being petulant and not see that it's society pushing us out and us accepting that reality.

AYRT, I do agree with this (I am GNC and get shit for it, and I don't want to have kids either), which is why I think that aspect of "queerness" has a lot of merit. Even gay people who "stay in line" like gay Republicans are still hated by a lot on their side. But my issue is also the far end of queer theory took it to the next level by deciding straight people who choose to become counterculture are "more queer" than people born same sex attracted and have struggled their whole life for it.
I'm friends with a very butch girl who grew up fundie and was severely abused and was assaulted after being outed, and now that she left that community, she just wants to live alone with a partner and mind her own business.

AYRT as well, thanks for clarifying your point, I totally see where you're coming from now. I thought you were getting at respectability politics a bit earlier but I don't think that's what you were saying, now that I read a bit more about your perspective. I agree on what you said about hets too, being counterculture does not make you part of the gay community, it's clear to actual gay people but of course we're always drowned out by hets/bisexuals and pressured to pretend people are welcome at all times.

I'm also saddened to hear about your friend. She's been victimized so I don't expect her to fight the fight if her heart is spent. While it's on us marginalized people to fight since we're the only ones with skin in the game, I fully accept that some of us gave the fight we left in us just to exist. I bear no ill will towards a GNC woman just wanting to carve out a small place in the world and go on that way. I wasn't trying to rag on people like your friend, hope you didn't take it that way.

I don't see it as an intentional method either, but I've continuously had to hear and feel how it makes me "asozial", against society. That didn't exactly motivate me to try to appeal to "the norm", especially when some expectations still haven't changed in 120 years and history is just repeating itself. People respond differently to trauma, the problem is that assimilationist movements have made those who don't assimilate for whatever reason the villains and blame us for lgb not being accepted more. Hatred of gnc women within the community, is still a very obvious remnant of that (assimilationism -> polilez -> cultural feminism -> current attitude), which you even see in radiqueer circles.
>but after actually watching how postmodernism went from being a college niche to Tumblr SJW rhetoric to semi-mainstream I think it's done more harm than good
Postmodernism is a tool or technique just like any other and it has honestly been used for much and much worse. It can be used for great art and it can be used for propaganda with terrible consequences (see Vladislav Surkov). Practically everyone uses post modernism in one way shape or form, including the people who shit on it or maybe especially the people who shit on it or deny that they use it. The postmodern paradox is also a well known one, because pretending to be neutral, rigorous and universal is itself an example of another 'meta' story, self-contradicting the postmodern critique of the metanarrative. The problem with TRA's is that they don't admit that they have their own metanarrative and that by doing the gendered souls thing and chants like "twaw", they're kinda defeating the point. The rest with going mainstream is just cooptation, which happens with everything, might as well hate everything, because you can bet everything can be used to either make a buck off of or to further oppress marginalized people. It's a tool like an icepick, you can use it to make sculptures, get some ice for your drink, or lobotomize someone. I.e. making movies like Rome + Juliet (1996) or But I'm a Cheerleader, making memes, or making propaganda to justify the invasion of several countries (which has been a 20+ year long project).
>NGL this is why I'm pro-gatekeeping to a certain degree.
Yeah I get it. Personally I don't feel like I have much power with gatekeeping. People have succeeded in making lesbian mean colloquially feminine woman into femininity, so if I tell a homophobic asexual that they don't belong, they can hit me back with "you look like you want to be a man" or "muh toxic masculinity". I'm already considered to be on thin ice generally kek.

I think that is more just bitterness and a reaction to the assimilationist movement, out of which polilez originated too partially, rather than actually meant against people like your friend. That context gets removed for newer generations in progressive areas which haven't really come across that and end up applying it to people from conservative areas who just want to be low key for their own safety and sanity.

My girlfriend is a huge libfem and I don't know whether it's rational for me to be bothered about it. I try not to talk politics but somehow it always come up. She's very male identified and she can't even see it, always sympathizing and empathizing with men but incredibly harsh towards women in any context.

Things she's told me:

- transwomen are more oppressed than women
- "I only use the word 'bitch' for women, not for men"
- What if women in the middle east choose to wear hijab?
- Being anti-porn is anti-feminist because it infantilizes sex workers

DA but that's usually where I play dumb when it comes to that topic, since I used to be in that boat but when I had "TERF opinions" explained to me, I couldn't refute it, so I try to plant that seed too. "What are TERFs/SWERFs/etc. and why are they bad?", and depending on what they say the response is, I just ask again (ex. "They're exclusionary." "Don't politics/social justice movements have to be exclusionary to work?" Or, "They say transwomen aren't real women." "How are they the same as women born female, though?"). But I'm also a bit of a troll too, lmao

"exposing herself" to the woman she may in the future build a life with? I would imagine any person respectful of themselves and their partner would be interested in being transparent about beliefs that may be a serious dealbreaker.

There is no label, but you can say "enbies welcome" or something to indicate you're into them. You can't mention that they have to be AFAB though, you'll get reported and banned. Thus, you'll also get male enbies and all manner of tranny in your inbox like we all do anyway. Adding the enby thing would merely encourage some of the right ones to swipe right on you.

are you really trying to date them or just looking for sex? if you're just attracted them them visually, but looking for a real relationship, there's pretty much zero reason to note it. it's not really sustainable to date someone with such wildly different political views imo.

if you just want sex, 'trans men and enbies welcome' might do the trick. noting trans men and not trans women might be enough for people to realize you're not interested in the male ones, but then again, it's not like men really give a fuck about boundaries regardless.

What are some tricks to eating someone out well? Do most women like tricks? like doing that corkscrew thing with your finger? Is it bad to just focus on the clit? I know it's different for everyone… My last two partners didn't care for it but I want to be good at it. Do women like when you lick and kiss the labias? I guess going slow and exploring and then her saying what she wants done is probably the best way to go. I wish there was more guides than just listen to what she wants. Personally I just care about my clit but I also felt pressured to receive when I didn't want it. But now I'm bored and single and want to think about it until the moment comes up lol.

autumn has got me craving a gf again but every time i meet a cute girl and get the guts to talk to her, she already has a gf or partner. im scared of dating apps cuz i don’t want casual hookups or moids in my inbox. i just wanna go to a pumpkin patch and apple picking with a cute gf man :”-( i have like no dating experience. only ever dated a moid (briefly) before realizing i was gay and haven’t had the guts to try again since. any advice on getting over my fears and/or getting out there more?

No. 290626

The thing about apps is you can only message if you have a match, aka you like each other. I personally haven't had great luck, but I've never had to deal with any messages from men/TIMs because I don't like them. TIMs will like your profile anyway no matter what you put to try to ward them out, but if you avoid them, don't like their profiles, or try to block them (depending on the app) then there won't be an unwanted encounter. I also see a ton of women on Tinder who outright say they want something seriously and scroll past if you only want sex, it honestly just depends on your age group and where you live. It doesn't hurt to look and try to swipe, if you don't like it you can just delete it.

No. 290661

>>290585
In my experience asking what she wants when starting out is good. Gives you the best road to assured climax which builds confidence and trust. If you're going to fuck her long term then it can be fun to try new things, set that expectation when you're not actively fucking and bring up that you'd like to try some new sensations together and to be patient with each other. Sexually active adults or adults who masturbate a lot may be set in their ways. When you get off one way for a long time, it can become the only way you climax, but even they might be surprised with how a new partner may make a difference in a "method" that they thought they didn't care for. If she's down to let you try stuff, then having a rough strategy (mainly pacing, how you're gonna build intensity and how you're going to control blood flow) going in and following the moans is the best way imo.

That's my two cents.

>>290610
This fear is entirely pointless. Maybe you'll think of this as harsh but it's just an app, they're just strangers that you can ghost. As an adult it's your responsibility to alter your choices if you want different outcomes. You'll probably need to invest quite a bit of time into dates to find someone that's truly compatible with you but it's just how things work. Relationships are quite a lot more work than finding dates so if you're afraid of the dates, you can't do the relationship.

No. 290732

For those of you who have had luck using apps, do you have any tips for having an interesting profile that draws women in? I feel like my bio is too boring; I just have basic info of my lifestyle and interests and what I'm looking for, and some jokes. But I think being boring is why a lot of the matches I get kinda ghosted or mutually ghost each other after awhile, so it dies before any phone numbers/contacts or a date is arranged.

Your profile sounds fine as it is. You don't want to make your profile so exciting that you become the dancing monkey in the relationship always entertaining her. One thing I hear a lot though is having pictures of you outside that people took. not just selfies in your house looking like a recluse.

Everyone knew, except me, basically. People were calling me slurs. My aunt wanted to send me to a school in her homecountry to teach me to be a "real lady", because I came to her wedding in a suit. All the "bicurious" women in secondary school managed to find me, without me being out. Honestly I was also a retard who was sleeping with women while calling myself straight, I don't even know how I was that much in denial. Later I looked back at photos and even at my most feminine at 16, I looked like a Shane wannabe (picrel) and I hadn't even heard of the LWord back then.

Mostly, yeah.

Coming up with different ways to contort your tongue, applying pressure in a more controlled way, training your hands and face to sustain movement etc are relevant. Any "do this and she'll scream your name" tips are completely pointless because they're not tailored to the unique situation you'd be in. Only some fundamental anatomical things apply, like when you lightly touch an area for a while it gets more sensitive. Will your specific partner be into that? Who the fuck knows. You need to try it. Some other stuff, like make sure you foreplay long enough and tease. Toying with her a little and really thinking about the pacing is useful.

As you gain more experience and understand your capabilities more it will make sense. For instance, I still can't get my tongue to get super rigid and apply pressure in the direction my current gf loves the most for too long so I have to make sure I deploy that when she's going crazy, to push her over the edge. She's ticklish in some places, but it's very overwhelming for her so when I'm tired I can pivot to those spots so her experience is more seamless, but I'm actually taking a time out. Stopping in your tracks without blending sensations is generally a vibe killer, ime that means you're gonna have to build momentum all over again. There are some tactics, some strategy, and some horndog ooga booga involved. It's a really fun mix of it all, you're gonna learn on your own.

AYRT, but it seems to not be enough since my last few matches were way less interested than I was, which really sucks since the ratio of likes vs matches is not remotely equal. So when I do get a match I initiate and lead the conversation, but it always dies when they lose interest so nothing gets arranged. Which is funny since you'd expect that from the million bicurious girls, but I avoid them like the plague, these grown adult women are really acting out the stupid "useless lesbian" Tumblr memes. I live in a small town with no actual LGB spaces so I'm trying to take what I can get with apps, but then I don't get anything.

Are there any profile red flags that lesbians avoid on apps, besides the obvious pronoun/liberal nonsense? I don't have any flags or pronouns or anything like that, but I worry another issue is the real lesbians (and few sensible bi women) skip past because I'm not heavily political and assume I'm one of the queerios.

I always knew I was a lesbian since a child, but I didn't fully know what lesbian was until I saw two women married on tv.i knew I would never be with boys and when I imagined myself in a family dynamic playing with my schoolmates I was always the cat or an inanimate object. Girls in school always confessed to me though. I think I always attracted women but I was never tomboyish. I suspect I also have/had a hormone in balance which made me not horny or care about sexual expression in my teens. When I was older in my mid 20s I fell in love with my best friend (now ex because she cheated kek) but what struck me was how easily I accepted it and came out immedietly to my family soon after. I never dated men though and never cared much about them. All men look like feet to me.

No one I think. If any of my classmates did, it was a small amount of very "queer" ones thinking I was non-binary adjacent. My friends all thought I wasn't and I thought I wasn't too until a few years after high school was over. I think normie women/girls don't see sexuality in their friends, and many are asexual/bisexual without much divide at all, compared to men/boys. Makes having a sex drive difficult socially unless there's a moid involved somehow.

If I were a teenager in the 2000s maybe I would get more "lesbian" comments. Most of my classmates didn't use that word much at all and that decade seems to be when lesbians were in my country's media the most. Though I remember hearing about a tight-knit lesbian group that used social media to talk to other lesbians in the whole school district.

I was only confessed to these types and until this day I always have agressive/dominant woman who try to get to know me. I don't know what it is, I asked my friends and they say I'm really "soft" looking. I don't really think I look butch.
I always knew I wanted to get married but when I thought of the 'groom's' face it was blank and I always imagined a Veil on thier face. Now, I imagine myself as a housewife cooking dinner for my wife, pleasing my wife, and having the house clean for her or ironing her clothes. I come from a really macho culture where I had to learn to do these things for the males in my family, so imagining myself doing this for my future wife always makes doing these things easier.My father always gets served first in our dinner and imagining serving my wife first always fills me up with pride.

It's basically treated as being double gay. From the faggot butch essay:
>Everyone understands femme on femme, even though you don’t see it often because it doesn’t read queer, you know, but it’s in the first images of ‘lesbian love’ most of us see, in porn or on television. Two long haired pretty girls smooching in a daring fashion wherever they happen to be. No one’s threatened by that, not the dykes, not the men, nobody, but if I want to kiss my butch anywhere, I’d be damned sure of my audience, or better yet, better be sure we don’t have one.
Like I'm pretty sure the t4t gayden trend comes from how unaccepted butch4butch is. That is the most retarded thing within the "community" honestly, butch is seen as practically a man, but butch4butch is bad, meanwhile everyone just loves gay scrotes. Same thing with butch4both, you get treated with the suspicion which bi scrotes should be getting, but even they don't get that much shit.

>I'm pretty sure the t4t gayden trend comes from how unaccepted butch4butch is.
That's imo exactly what fed the entire trend and it pains me to witness anons even on this site call then "straight girls who only larp as men because they couldn't get one themselves". Like so many people enforce the tranny tier mindset that as a lesbian you must be attracted to only hyperfeminine things like spinny skirts and long hair, or at the very minimum the 70's polilez sweater and jeans attire or you're "straight or bi in denial".

Unfortunately it seems it has always been like that.

A butch dating a drag queen or mtf tranny (the protagonist actually ends up with a mtf) was seen as more acceptable and making more sense than two butches.

I used to really aspire to be butch4butch, and I still wish I was sometimes, but I’m painfully femme and don’t think I can change that. I love and appreciate butches so much and I hope they know that.
It really fucks me up how it’s never good enough for some people though. Butch4butch is fake and faggy and also secretly straight, butch4femme is heteronormative and secretly straight, femme4femme is too male gazey and obviously for moid attention so secretly straight. It feels like there’s no winning sometimes.

>Like so many people enforce the tranny tier mindset that as a lesbian you must be attracted to only hyperfeminine things like spinny skirts and long hair, or at the very minimum the 70's polilez sweater and jeans attire or you're "straight or bi in denial".
I think it's because there is genuinely a portion of the population who bases their attraction mainly on masculinity or femininity, rather than sex and then assumes that is how sexual orientation works for everybody. They see being a lesbian as just being into femininity and women just happen to be more often feminine. So you get situations like >>291726 talks about in Stone Butch Blues. Same way you'll see supposed femmes on lchat saying they'd rather screw a HSTS TiM than a butch nobody asked, but uhm ok thanks for the info. Add polilez shit and cultural feminism to that and then not only is being attracted to masculine women not seen as lesbian, but neither is a masculine woman. Despite the old ass stereotype of lesbians being butch, people would faster think a masculine woman wants to be a man, than that she's a lesbian. Straight people already bought into this shit for even longer, because "straight" scrotes are barely attracted to women, just the idea of hyperfemininity. So no wonder the transition from "same sex attraction" to "same gender attraction" went so seamlessly and so many people seem comfortable with gaslighting the rest about it. Sorry for the schizobabble, but it's just all connected.
>I'm a butch4both myself so I like femmes too, but nothing makes my heart race as much as a handsome, cool, masculine butch who looks like she could press me against a wall.
Same and I don't really hide it, both are great for different reasons. I just wish people weren't so weird about it. The same community who will call us too masculine the whole time, will then turn around and put your masculinity on trial. However, is there anything more masculine than homoerotic wrestling with another butch? I think not.

ntayrt but 100% I've been going on there lately because it's been kind of dead here and omg the way they stalk celebrities and keep track of who they follow and unfollow on instagram is insane. And yesterday I just wanted to find lesbian youtubers but instead its a fucking deep dive into a select few youtubers they are obsessed with. Then the lesbian instagramers are just hot women some moid keeps posting nonstop. I just wanted to see what they could be talking about kirsten stewart for so many pages and they saw her at a restaurant and then deepdived into who opened that club and why he wanted her there and who he was. I think they're all moids/bihets that like to larp on there. Most of the lesbian on there complain about them but nothing changes.

Like that one post on lesbian pornstars and how they started fighting about the jelly filled girls.

I have to rant about my first ever “covid lesbian relationship” So I have know I was gay since I was eleven. I also have a pretty high sex drive and am pretty direct. I’m also fucking naive and retarded and easily get strung along. So I met a girl on Tinder who had a lesbian flag and everything on her profile. She was also a “queer lesbian” but I didn’t think much of this at the time. We match and have a fun conversation. I take her on 2 dates and I’m thinking it’s going well. She tells me she discovered she was lesbian over Covid on Tik Tok. She read some thing called the comp het document and at the time I didn’t know wtf that was. I wish I could go back and tell myself to fucking GET AWAY. The third date I try and hold her hand and she fucking recoils so fast. No problem I don’t want to force something so I back off. I later try and put my arm around her at a movie. She scoots away. She later texts me all sorts of flirty things though so I’m fucking confused. She basically flirts with me and talks about me like we’re full on dating on her social media. We still haven’t even kissed. It’s entirely performative. It was so weird nonnas. I help her move apartments 3 times and she really only took advantage of me for homework help or helping her lift shit. I don’t know wtf I was thinking I should have just backed off way before this. I then find out she had a boyfriend before that she had full on sex with and she enjoyed it but it was all “comp het” and she was an asexual lesbian the whole time. This is her way of explaining why she won’t fucking touch me in public. She’s apparently asexual but not aromantic so she can uwu flirt with me but never even hold hands?? At that point I was finally fed up we’d been not even “dating” for 6 months. Just a weird limbo. I was moving to a nearby town anyway which was a good excuse to lose contact and she hasn’t even tried to reach out so whatever. I think she’s a she/they now and dating an MTF or something. Jfc never going near a “queer” (but literally straight) woman ever fucking again.

So I went on a date with a girl and she seems really nice. We have similar aspirations, hobbies and got along really well. However, I'm worried I'm setting myself up for disappointment and heartbreak. She claims to be "pan" but says that she doesn't like men after attempting to date a few. Said she could never feel love towards a "cis" man. We both had similar experiences with being former tifs but got out of it fot the same reason and she agreed when I talked about how stupid trooning out is but later said some handmaiden-y "true trans" things anyways. I think I like her but I'm scared I'm getting myself into something stupid because I'm too desperate and touch-starved to be rational.

It's a good thing that you're keeping your eyes open for red flags and potential incompatibilities. That alone shows that even though you're lonely lately, you are willing to be rational and protect yourself. To me she sounds like a typical terminally online lesbian who got tricked into the tranny cult. Saying outright she can't be with a "cis" man, to me, is basically proof she is actually lesbian. She may have desisted her gender identity but stayed in the cult for other reasons (friends, fear of being cancelled, etc). Maybe the brainwashing was very effective. Now, none of this is your problem to fix. You're not required to enlighten her or anybody, and if you plan to continue the relationship you have some choices to make.
>Are you going to push your gender critical values and try to peak her?
>If not, how will you cope with the misalignment of your values?
>Do you want a long term, exclusive relationship with her, or are you open to something less serious and more casual?
And of course consider if it would simply be best to break it off early. None of these questions have a right or wrong answer, the choice is truly yours. I hope you'll make healthy decisions and treat yourself kindly, first and foremost, without letting impulsivity, infatuation, or desperation steer the ship.

Well said, I had always thought about this but couldn't quite put it into coherent words but you're absolutely right. The gender overriding sex shit is so prevalent in heterosexual relationships like a man is seen as a closeted gay if he likes masculine women and a woman identifies herself as "queer" if she likes effeminate men. Explains a whole lot about how easy it was for TRAs to peddle the gender ideology.

Every "asexual lesbian" I knew that wasn't polilez were either really traumatized and/or had medical issues. I'm personally skeptical of the asexual thing, but it only makes sense as a trauma response. I honestly don't think anyone should date someone who calls themselves an asexual because in my experience they either act like kids and think even kissing/hugging is gross, or they're weird nymphomaniac-sociopaths who say they like having sex but are asexual because they're not attracted to who they have sex with (?!?!).

I have an interesting experience. When I was a teen I thought I was not interested in sex at all, I guess asexual today, but back in that time I didn't have a lot of labels. I didn't feel any romantic feelings for anyone or anything and was extremely repressed. I'm sure it was an emotional response to stress. In my mid twenties I fell in love with another woman and I realized why I didn't date or engage in normal teenage behaviors, it was because I hadn't realized who I was. I also started to master bate and have sexual fantasies in my mid twenties about woman and I felt comfortable in doing so. In a relationship I think I'd let my partner know that I want to wait before we have sex because my libido isn't that high compared to other people and I can definently live without it.
I am 29 and I still have no sexual experience or kisses and I'm saving it for someone special. I only have had unrequited love thus far, will this be a problem to other women? I am not experienced but I'm willing to learn. I feel 'old' since I'm going in my 30s and having no experience and I wouldn't want it to be a burden to the woman I'm dating.

>>292025
We have very similar experiences nonnie, though I only just turned 24 myself.

I've never dated or gone for anyone I liked irl because of my anxieties over it. As a teen I thought I was asexual because I never had any attraction to guys like my friends did, but I also didn't hold a particular attraction to women either. I think some of it was internalized and embarrassment because people thinking I was gay earlier in life because of my interest, I didn't want to feel like I proving those people 'right'. It was only in my 20s that I considered women as an option, seeing certain types of women makes my heart pound and I actually feel an attraction to them. Ashamed to say I did date a guy briefly out of obligation, I thought someone had to like me first in order to date, but there was no chemistry between us, not even a kiss. I spent my teen years avoidant on the topic of dating so now I have experience with it as an adult and feel lost for it. I wouldn't hold it against any woman on how much/little sexual experience she has unless it was a situation where being a 'pure uwu' virgin was being fetishized.

AYRT, I agree with you (I struggle with PTSD and mental issues that impact my sexual interest), that's why even though I don't see labels like "asexual" or "aromantic" to be natural orientations, they can be used as tools to describe what someone is looking for. In theory an asexual lesbian would just want to date or be in a romantic relationship with no sex, and an aromantic lesbian would want the opposite, but most asexuals I know are either in the "severe PTSD" camp or just weird porn addicts who are dissociated from the target of their "stimulation".

Aromanticism is a bit more complicated considering romantic love is literally an idealistic social construct that changes with every era. I'm not repulsed by doing things which are considered romantic, I just don't think that you can only do that with "the one". The belief used to be that true romance couldn't exist within a marriage, a cold blooded contract, now you're expected to show you care by getting married. This is a switch which happened in the last century, not naturally ingrained either. Having to parade your relationship online is an even newer phenomenon, the extreme suspicion, stalking and boundary crossing behavior which is considered normal in relationships nowadays. How fast you're expected to move to show you care. Being expected to be jealous to show how you care. I just don't get the feelings which seemingly drive others to such behaviors. So it doesn't necessarily mean that an aromantic lesbian would just want to hook up or automatically has an aversion to any activities which could be construed as romantic. It has more to do with just not wanting what is considered nowadays a standard romantic relationship with all the expectations that come with it and just not having the extremely strong feelings which drive others to such behaviors.

Not being possessive is not a lack of romantic attraction. Being disinterested in monogamy is not a lack of romantic attraction. Split attraction is not even a real concept, sex and romance are interconnected. "Aromantic" is not even close to being as real as asexual which itself is also not a natural orientation, just an autism or trauma thing.

People using "asexual" and "sex repulsed" interchangeably is just muddying the waters. What I see as "asexual" is just the lack of sex drive with no desire for sexual things, experiences, thoughts, stimulation etc., not sexually traumatized or "likes porn but doesn't want sex". It could be a hormonal imbalance, a genetical thing or a neurodivergent issue like autism. I get that people love labels to describe themselves but it's ultimately harmful to set a fictional identity for yourself, a lot of "asexuals" would genuinely benefit from therapy when it comes to their issues with intimacy but saying this gets you branded as a corrective rapist simply for suggesting that maybe there's a chance you could improve your life by facing your trauma. As for the "lesbians" that blame their previous male relationships on comphet and claim that they're asexual because they can't have sex with women, we all know what's their deal because we aren't dumb.

I didn't mean to imply that I see it as an orientation, but more in line with "atheist" or "anarchist", not buying into a social construct. It's not naturally ingrained to want to get married and have the whole list of cultural expectations that come with romantic relationships, nor is it naturally ingrained to not want to get married etc. I'm not arguing for either being naturally ingrained. The concept of romantic love as we know it is fairly new. Is sexual attraction exactly the same thing as what people describe romantic attraction to be? Is it the combination of wanting to be friends and being sexually attracted? What is the extra element? Is it impossible to do things which are considered romantic, outside of a romantic relationship? The concept of it is about as flimsy as gender identity and gender roles. It's a general autism or trauma thing to have a tendency to not have internalized some social constructs, that doesn't mean it's completely ridiculous to not buy into a social construct, just because of that association. Gnc is in a way associated with autism, doesn't mean it's ridiculous to be gnc.
>Being disinterested in monogamy is not a lack of romantic attraction.
Also this has very little to do with whether you want to sleep with one person or multiple. I didn't say polyamory or anything like that. I've been in a fwb before with a best friend and we just happened to not feel like sleeping with other people. Didn't discuss anything or had any expectations. I didn't end up this way through trauma, but that was the most relaxed chill time I've had (she did too from what I've understood) and I do attribute that to not going into official relationship mode and having to deal with the cultural baggage and expectations. So no, I don't see it as an orientation or something you're born with, just more in the sense of "atheist".

Thank you anon. You made me feel better about being sexually inexperienced. Sometimes my little family members ask me how to kiss thier little bfs and I as the 'auntie' should already know.

I also believe the same thing as you. I feel that what's really attractive to me is for the woman I'm interested to have a high sense of self. I don't care if the other person has had sexual experiences but I want them to have standards and know who they are and very decisive. I also really like people that don't care what others think about them and are very strong and stubborn.

Thank you for the encouragement! I hope someday I'll meet someone for me very soon with the same values. Unfortunetly, I have met women that offered me sex from the first meeting and I did confess to them that I wasn't active yet to which made them chase after me more. I thought by telling them they'd understand that I don't want flings but… yes, for me I think it's better to wait.

The term for that would be "conversion therapy uwu", which is something I see asexuals constantly talk about, because implying they could have PTSD is akin to a slur to them. And it is funny that you mention trauma and therapy, because I've identified as various forms of asexual/aromantic/demisexual/etc. as a result of trauma when I was a teenager, so I went to therapy for it, and when talking about my trauma and issues with intimacy I ironically had therapists suggest that I go online and look into asexual groups. The few times I've talked about gender issues, I had a similar response. Even therapists are too scared to challenge people when it comes to identities.

>>292100
I get where you're coming from, but I used to know aromantics and they chalked up "romantic attraction" to cheesy love songs and movies on TV, which is just entertainment. But they would also date for partnership, say they love their partners, but not romantically. Maybe I don't get it since I've never felt love like that, so I could be "aromantic" in denial lmao (it's more likely I haven't met the right one), but I would consider being into someone sexually and liking them as a person to be a form of love, maybe not the kind where you would get married and live together forever, but it's still love even if it isn't performative romance novel material. It's like how I see a lot of women calling themselves demisexual/romantic or greysexual because they don't like hookups - that's a social standard that not everyone even follows, not a separate sexuality.

Yeah I don't believe "the right one" exists. There is no soulmate, no twinflame, no missing other half. You know the way people experience romantic relationships and crushes and all that in modern times? I have tried talking to old ladies about it, asking them about it. Funny how all that shit didn't exist for everyone yet until it became normal for everyone to have a TV. Was more a thing for artist or writer types. Other than that the description sounds more like a panic attack to them.
>but I would consider being into someone sexually and liking them as a person to be a form of love, maybe not the kind where you would get married and live together forever, but it's still love even if it isn't performative romance novel material.
I think one of the things I object to is that those performative romance actions are almost seen as sex. Something you can only do with one person you know very well and love very much and are in a relationship with. If casual sex exists, why wouldn't casual romance? Like if you do any of those things, you just have to get into an official romantic relationship asap and totally love that person forever and you're just kidding yourself? There are many women I'm sexually attracted to and there are many women I like as a person. For male attracted people I can sort of get "the right one" spiel, because for them it is looking for a needle in a haystack to find any likable scrote. Meanwhile likable women are pretty common, the women being into women part is the rare bit. The rest is more about learning to work together, than some cosmic shit about finding the exact right person with the exact right personality for you and that you have to cling to them like a buoy in the sea and go above and beyond to avoid (perceived) abandonment imo.
>It's like how I see a lot of women calling themselves demisexual/romantic or greysexual because they don't like hookups - that's a social standard that not everyone even follows, not a separate sexuality.
Oh yeah that's why I said in >>292151 that I don't consider it a separate orientation, but more along the lines of atheist, agnostic, anarchist. I just believe romantic love is a social construct to a large degree and I don't want to participate with the modern standards for it. Nor do I want to be pressured by others to uphold those standards. Just not calling it a romantic relationship is what I've found to work. You don't invite yourself to (subconsciously) put up ridiculous standards for yourself or others, or for others to apply those standards to you. There is a certain amount of boundary crossing and unhinged behavior which is expected in relationships, but would never be acceptable in a regular great friendship. Sure you can talk about every little minutiae and try to prevent everyone's brain from applying unrealistic standards, then still in the end be deemed the one who cared less and is a cold hearted villain for not wanting to real time share your GPS location at all times or be paraded around on TikToK or whatever. I don't want any of the shit to happen that happens "in the name of the relationship". All the good stuff imo can also happen in a very good friendship, but then without all the neurosis. People just assume it's about cheating or whether you want to sleep around, because why else would you not want to be subjected to that stuff, you got something to hide? I don't need to be held on a leash and be treated like someone has to be my second FBI agent watching me to prevent me from sleeping with other people. That's why I compare it to atheism, because it reminds me of "why would you do any good things if you don't believe in a god?", I don't need to be in an official romantic relationship to show "good behavior". I personally perform much better actually without having to accept the Sword of Damocles above my head.

I think you're confusing not having words to describe stuff with stuff not existing. "Old ladies" lived in a time where you could rape your wife and it would not even be called rape. Abduction was the only form of courtship in some places even further back in time yet we have a concept of rape and consent now. Would you say these things were "invented" in the same vein? Sometimes we don't have language to describe our needs and wants and feelings. Your same argument could be said of homosexuality, before it became seen as an orientation or acknowledged at all. Did it not exist?

>I think one of the things I object to is that those performative romance actions are almost seen as sex. Something you can only do with one person you know very well and love very much and are in a relationship with. If casual sex exists, why wouldn't casual romance? Like if you do any of those things, you just have to get into an official romantic relationship asap and totally love that person forever and you're just kidding yourself?

You're still just describing finding mainstream romantic expectations too demanding. None of the shitty things you describe about romantic relationships are inherent to romantic relationships. I've had platonic friendships just as toxic. They're just clingy, possessive behaviors. Do you really not see that? Some of us set boundaries and build lives that are enhanced by a partner, not propped up by one. Idk, maybe you're young and surrounded by unhealthy people but seriously your view of relationships comes across as a caricature to me. You're choosing to focus on poor relationships and saying romance is made up. It really is not. I don't love my gf like a bestie that I fuck, and I've lived my entire life being GNC and counter-culture in so many ways. My desire to be by her side for the rest of my life has nothing to do with what conventions are comfortable to fall into.

Tbh it sounds like you're really afraid of losing control.

I can't remember how the hell I realized I was a lesbian growing up in a backwards small city but I must have been around 12-13, but kept denying it until my 20's. I knew what homosexuals were from an early age because I saw them on TV but they were always gay males, never lesbian women unless they were sexualized or being made fun of because this was the early 00's, so I never paid attention to them. I hope teenagers of today have way more representation to help them figure themselves out sooner so they don't go through their teenage years and early adulthood being repressed and thinking they're "just asexual/aromantic" when in actuality they're denying their entire sexuality.

>Would you say these things were "invented" in the same vein?
Just because something is a social construct or invented, doesn't mean it's automatically bad. My point is that the concept of (romantic) love has changed quite a bit over the centuries and just because something is new, doesn't make it automatically better or improved (especially now we have the internet and Disney in everyone's living room). Nor does it automatically reveal something about how this behavior is totally the behavior that is inherent to human nature. I'm also not saying that every old way was automatically better. I'm saying that none of this shit is natural to anyone and we're all just influenced by culture and society and everything around us. Someone isn't automatically broken for not wanting the same things as their peers in their generation. Also this is in no way shape or form comparable to rape apologetics or questioning homosexuality. The definition:
>an intensity and idealization of a love relationship, in which the other is imbued with extraordinary virtue, beauty, etc., so that the relationship overrides all other considerations, including material ones
Are we born with idealizations, are they inherent, or do they change over time? They change and are in many ways similar to gender roles. Way more in line with that, than something immutable like homosexuality, sex etc.
>You're still just describing finding mainstream romantic expectations too demanding.
Yes, did I deny any of that?
>None of the shitty things you describe about romantic relationships are inherent to romantic relationships.
Yes, that is my whole point. However, unless I decide to get with people 10+ years older than me or manage to invent time travel, romantic relationships will never be for me.
>I've had platonic friendships just as toxic.
Sure, difference is that society and the people around you won't punish you as hard for wanting to enforce boundaries in a friendship or for wanting to leave that friendship. You're not expected to give up autonomy and sacrifice everything, you're allowed to have your own life and be separate people.
>Idk, maybe you're young and surrounded by unhealthy people but seriously your view of relationships comes across as a caricature to me.
Yeah, that is my whole point. It's all fine and dandy if older people managed to get their lovely relationship, those were different times with different upbringings, but I have to deal with other zoomers who think it's normal to drop an apple airtag in your bag to track you. I wish it was a fucking joke. In this aspect I don't conform with the rest of my peers. Listen, if you can understand the craziness going on with trans shit and whatever with genz and how technology affects everything, this shouldn't be such a surprise to you and this is not just the direct people around me.
>You're choosing to focus on poor relationships and saying romance is made up.
But it is literally made up, the word itself has to do with idealism, it is literally about something which doesn't exist but which philosophers and artists believed people should strive towards. Which is all very beautiful and I think there's nothing wrong with wanting to do those things and if you do interpret your feelings that way, however it's not for me. You view friendships as below romantic relationships, I don't. I am focusing on positive relationships and all of those have been friendships for me, so I want more of those and no romantic ones, that's all. Actions which are culturally considered romantic are something you can do without being in an official romantic relationship, without believing you have an other half or twin flame.
>Tbh it sounds like you're really afraid of losing control.
Yeah I don't enjoy being stalked, put on a schedule and have a partner act like my parent and I don't want to be expected to act like their parent, because that's what people have decided is normal these days. I'd rather not sacrifice my autonomy and privacy for the sake of an idealistic construct. I don't want to be expected to control people.

I don't actually view romantic partnership as below friendship by default. My current relationship I view as above all because she is actually my best friend, we were friends first. I don't think I'm capable of understanding your viewpoint fully as I don't believe in the split attraction model. I've always felt very strong sexual attraction to the women I've had close emotional connections with and so romantic feelings have never been divorced from sex for me.

No. 292343

>>292332
There are many women I find sexually attractive, not just the ones I have a close emotional connection with and I've had my share of hookups. I've also done culturally considered romantic things for women without a sexual relationship being involved and I'd have no problem doing those things for strangers too with or without sex being involved. Saying I fell in love with them for a night, in order to say sex and romantic love are always intertwined sounds nice, but kinda downplays what love means. Doesn't it? For me it's not intertwined and I'm not the first one in history to report that and in another time my viewpoint could've been normal. Neither viewpoint is inherent, but that doesn't mean either viewpoint is inherently bad.

No. 292483

I didn't say I don't find randoms sexually attractive, I said that a strong enough attraction that makes me wanna pursue actual sex is only for women I've also had an emotional connection with. Also didn't say you fell in love, actually. I was describing my own experience and not trying to tell you how you feel, unlike what you sometimes have done with your sweeping statements about how romantic feelings are a manufactured concept, rather than a late-discovery. Maybe it's more that you don't experience them and some people do and have done throughout history, and we didn't have language/convention to define those things before. But this is natural of your age group, carry on.

I wish I had been here when this conversation was going! My wife and I are b4b but I've always been viewed as the "softer" one if that makes sense - she looks like a burly post office butch and I am routinely mistaken for a 12 year old boy. But that's still enough for people to decide I'm the "girl" for whatever reason. Waiters and receptionists always look at her and give her the check, her parents assumed I would stay home while she worked, and my homophobic mother likes to imply that she's controlling and that I'm a battered wife. Ngl I wouldn't mind being her housewife since I do all the cooking anyways. We laugh about this shit a lot because it's so obvious that they're desperate to impose some type of heterosexuality onto our dynamic, but they just don't know what to make of it so they just go with "big one man, little one woman" like the cavemen they are. Oh well, I guess I do like being manhandled by big strong women.
Recently I shaved my head and holy shit, it feels like the dirty looks we get have gone up by at least 50%! Lol it really is funny to watch how reactions to us change just based on my presentation. My hair got long during the pandemic and I noticed a marked decrease in hostility towards us as a couple going about our lives, but as soon as I got a summer cut, street harassment and dirty looks go way up. I guess we're like dyke squared or something. Idk how I feel about describing myself as a faggy dyke in mixed company but it's certainly how I feel most of the time. There's a special kind of disgust for us. People are very weird about seeing two such gnc women in a relationship. I kinda don't mind being such a weirdo though, it's freeing in a way.

For those of you who managed to find relationships without apps, how exactly did you manage to meet SSA women in the first place? I've been trying to scope out LGB scenes but there hardly aren't any in a red-leaning swing state and I don't really have money to move to a blue state or the city anytime soon (although I do plan to, it's just not feasible). My local library has things like D&D and book clubs, and I'm considering tapping back into my high school interests like roleplay and anime/books just have some common ground with non-"normies", are those kinds of spaces a good start to find women in the 25+ range?

"Tomboy" generally is geared towards prepubescent girls and is a form of temporarily socially acceptable form of gender non conformity. If you actually stay that way and don't feminize, that's how you end up being called lesbophobic slurs during puberty. The women who continue to identify with the term "tomboy", generally feminized enough to avoid this and didn't resent the pressure to "give up" and are usually not lesbians. "Tomboy" has the implication that female masculinity is immature, if used on an adult.
"Butch" is used by adult samesex attracted women. It's not defined by being a more masc aesthetic than true "tomboy", but by being literally more mature and grown up than the "tomboy". It implies acceptance of matured female masculinity in adulthood and you cannot divorce it from SSA, unlike "tomboy". "Butch" has a rich history within lesbianism and isn't exclusive to Anglophones, since even 1920's Germany knew of the equivalent Kesser Vater (KV). "Butch" has certain connotations based on roles within lesbian barculture from the 1940's, but a lot of the black and white stuff is gone and not applicable. However most myths and negative stories come from this time, which causes the word to have stigma attached to it within the lesbian community and outside of it.
"Tomboy" on the other hand is a straight product, which comes from the belief that gnc before puberty will make girls be better at giving birth and be stronger mothers to compete with "outsiders". It was a reaction to the feigning illness and avoiding all activity, which was recommended to girls before the "tomboy" trend of the 1850's. Which is why to this day straight people prefer the word "tomboy" and seem to be okay with girls being gnc right up until puberty.
The big difference is up to personal preference, but personally I really only associate the term "tomboy" with prepubescent girls, maybe early teens, but not young adult women (except weird tradwives who insist they're suuuuch "tomboys" and people who think "butch" is an insult).

No. 293693

>>293691
Yes, it's a weirdly symbiotic relationship I've had with some straight women. They seem to value compliments from me more than when they would come from one of their straight friends. They assume that their straight friends are just being nice and assume the compliments and attention from a lesbian come from genuine attraction, so it gives them a bigger self esteem boost. I have let this happen several times and it's at least better than a straight woman being lesbophobic and not daring to interact with me at all, when we have to. Though I'm not sure I'd recommend it, because it does mess with your head when they inevitably hit you with that "if only you were a guy" spiel. It's like you get unironically treated like an asexual female boyfriend. Though I feel proud that I got a straight woman into lifting, instead of starving herself, because scrotes cannot handle women with bigger thighs than them.

Not related but it's sweet you got her into lifting. I deadass know successful, gorgeous middle aged women (my mum's friend) who is scared of the calories in some fruits, looks painfully thin, and gets painful full body hair removal done, whilst her man is HIDEOUS. Maybe I'm seething about women not picking me kek but also it does just fill my heart to see women looking after their health and living free.

Sick of my attraction to masculinity being seen as an entry point for debating if I'm not actually bi or other muddy waters. The simple answer to every question I get is that I'm straight out not attracted to men, and am repulsed by dick, while sexual attraction to women is easy for me without question. But I'm not allowed to say that without sounding transphobic and getting lynched. So I guess my mysterious attraction to masculinity that somehow excludes everybody but butch women will always be a point of confusion for others.

On this note, I wonder if I'll ever be able to have a butch terfy girlfriend. I'm pretty career-driven so in the current cultural climate where I live, I can't afford to be openly or even privately transphobic without risking losing everything. It's so stupid.

Oh I know I'm like a pickme for women, a massive simp. My seething and resentment is geared towards scrotes for taking beautiful women with a heart of gold for granted. Scrotes have the privilege that the majority of women are het and they are abusing it. Raising women's self esteem and standards is my revenge.
Though I do feel like a stereotype over it, typical butch simping for hets. Well idk where other lesbians are hiding while waiting for the troon menace to be over and my "visibility" has mostly just attracted lesbophobia, gross bi scrotes or weirdly interested het women who give me a tiny little taste of what it feels like to be wanted and appreciated.

I live by this too nonnie, kek. I sometimes get these moments of self-consciousness when I'm afraid of being just the memed lescel who's seething about women not being attracted to her but instead of taking it out on them (as they can't help their sexuality) I want to make them realize their value so that no scrote gets to exploit them. I guess that directly relates to my problem above, being stuck in relationships with straight women just helping them raise the bar.

Yeah, this one time it actually led to a sexual relationship for me and it got pretty weird. This woman was my cousins neighbour, a single mother. In the neighbourhood I had a reputation for being the local handywoman so she asked me over there to fix her plumbing (I stg that pun isn't intended but yes I am laughing at it anyway kek), fix her washing, etc. She started cooking for me when I went over, or bringing food next door for us. When we ate together we opened up and honestly after a while I had that "asexual female boyfriend" feeling too. I would listen to her problems, tell her kid to eat his veggies and work hard at school. It was… very intimate, honestly. Then one night after dinner we were drinking on her porch and she drunkenly told me that I was her dream man. She laughed it off but I could tell it wasn't exactly a joke. My dumbass said I could be her dream man for the night if she wanted and we slept together. I guess that makes her bisexual but she couldn't romantically give me anything. We would have such passionate sex but once it was over I'd be lying next to an ice maiden. Honestly I might well have dated her had she been able to commit to a woman and give me the emotional support that I gave her, but sleeping together soured our friendship completely. She would pull away from me emotionally as if to "no homo" the situation. It fucked me up and I haven't spoke to her in years now. I guess the moral of the story is that if you do find yourself in this kinda situation with a "straight" woman who's sexually coming on to you, do NOT think with your clit. It is not worth it and you'll only get your feelings hurt.

Oh it's a bittersweet cycle and I feel silly for getting into it every time out of desperation and being pathetic. It's like being in the desert and drinking salty water. You know it's getting bad when I'm unironically thinking of just giving up and letting the BPDchans have me instead (the cacti in my desert analogy?) I feel like I have the kind of personality (mental illness) which at the same time attracts them and triggers the fuck out of them.. I guess it's natural to want to feel wanted, but it's not healthy that I'd consider doing ultimately harmful things, in order to get it. I have no fucking clue how to cope, I wish I could be like the waifufags and other than that just take satisfaction with masturbating.

No. 293825

I'm in a similar position as you. What's helped me cope is… it's going to sound like such a meme… focusing on myself. Yes I know, it's lame as fuck, and I don't believe the old adage "you can't be loved until you love yourself." In fact allowing yourself to be loved is crucial in repairing your self image! But I do believe that solely relying on others to make you feel loved, worthy, wanted, etc., is dangerous. Even if you were to be with the perfect woman, not a hettie or a BPDchan, one who does everything right and never fails you, eventually she's going to die. And then where will you be? It's about becoming strong enough to stand on our own. To give ourselves the love that we crave, to fulfill our own wishes. You are your number one ally, the one you can always rely on to do what you want and give yourself what you need, without waiting on anybody else to agree to it and carry it out. Basically you have 100% control over yourself, and 0% over everyone else. It's just more sensible to start your search for love from within. To use your desert metaphor this would be like suddenly realising you were the oasis all along. Or maybe water starts flowing from your hands? Like it's just dripping from your fingertips at first (self love is hard) but over time you're strong enough to make an entire river. Something like that.
Tldr; build your self esteem. When you value yourself and fulfill your own needs, you would never dream of allowing your precious, lovable self to drink saltwater or hug cactuses.

at the very least i don't think the girl i'm playing "female asexual boyfriend" to is knowingly trying to manipulate me or anything.

Your post is very sweet, I fear your compassion is a bit wasted on me though. Even if I'd find the "perfect" woman, I would have no trouble letting her go. I've done it before and I'll do it again, because it's not just about me, but about her happiness too and sometimes you're just not looking for the same things. If she did everything right and didn't do her own thing and wouldn't eventually leave me, she wouldn't be "perfect". No idea if this makes any sense kek.
I've always been on my own and I've never been able to rely on anyone else, so I don't put that much stock on people in my life in that way. I hate having to ask anyone for anything or depending on anyone for anything, it makes me feel vulnerable and weak. I'm not a people pleaser, my "pickme for women"/simp tendencies are very coomer based and in a roundabout way I do get off on it, it feels like I'm playing a character, someone who is not me. I'm extremely selfish and in a way I have an inflated self esteem. I fear BPDchans not because I'd go out of my way to please them or anything, but because I hurt them unintentionally with my avoidant and aloof personality, they selfharm themselves with me, so I avoid them for their own good and my sliver of sanity. I'm objectively an unrepentant "bad person" and I refuse to change (though I and professionals don't believe I can change), because I need to be this way for my own survival, and my affective empathy is nonexistent anyway. If there was a female only planet, I'd be the equivalent of a scrote. I'm a walking abortion, emotionally limited, egocentric, trapped inside myself, incapable of empathizing or identifying with others, of love, affection or tenderness. I'm a completely isolated unit incapable of rapport with anyone. My responses are entirely visceral, not cerebral; my intelligence is a mere tool in the service of my drives and needs; I'm incapable of mental passion, mental interaction; I can’t relate to anything other than my own physical sensations.
There's just some stuff I cannot give to myself. Masturbating is not the same as sex (with someone who is actually sexually attracted to you) and is actually pretty damn boring, so that's a thing I miss. And even my emotionally impotent ass seeks connection in a way I can't have with a straight woman, especially because she's literally not sexually attracted to me. Though I do really appreciate the attention they do sometimes give.
>you would never dream of allowing your precious, lovable self to drink saltwater or hug cactuses.
That is so cute and sweet, genuinely. The idea of me personally being precious or lovable is laughable though and sounds dangerous and enabling (though I know nobody means it that way, I just know myself and can't allow myself to rationalize things that way).

Thank you, I wish you luck with the clingy attachment, which doesn't seem easy at all either.

It might be possible, but there's just barely research about it, because usually very avoidant people don't seek help, since well, avoidant. Plus for me the deprivation and all that happened so early, it's not something you can really therapy out easily anyway. It should've been something they should've intervened with already in infancy and as a toddler.

I'm at the point in my life where something akin to a FWB or just casually dating and seeing where that relationship goes is the best possible dynamic I can have. I know more experienced lesbians will just reply "just use apps!" but I use all the big ones and all of the matches I get fizzle out and stop responding to me before an in-person date is arranged. I still use them since I don't live in a place with nearby gay stuff, but my expectations are on the floor and I'm depressed that I'll never get to experience these things while my friends are talking about their girlfriends and crushes.

So that might be why. I almost wish I could move, LMAO. I don't think it's bad to want to have serious relationships and settle down, but it's alienating when this is apparently what my dating pool (women mid-20s to early-30s) consists of because it's 70% that and 30% polyamorous tenderqueers.

NTA, but the anon who is in the same situation. Yup exactly. I'm in a biblebelt region and the only women in my proximity on dating apps want to get married and have kids asap. I don't want to psychoanalyze too much, but I do feel like many want to prove that their sexuality is just as serious as those of the straights and to be completely the opposite of the poly tenderqueers who aren't being taken seriously. There's nothing wrong to want to settle down and have a serious relationship, if that's what you truly want, but there's something compulsive about it with many. They don't care whether it actually works, they just want to make it work and will try to force a square peg in a round hole, practically being proposed to on the first date when they know jackshit about you.

yeah conversion therapy is still a common practice in the area, parents have to sign a form at school promising that their children aren't gay, if you ever hear about lesbianism it's the Freud version where it's explained as an immature sexuality and that it means you're forever a child, that learning to be attracted to men is a part of maturing. Families would never talk about such things, because if you have a gay kid, god must've hated you very fucking much and they're predestined for hell (double predestination). I think catholic areas are a lot more sane about these things than prottie areas, if you have to be in a conservative christian area.

AYRT, you're exactly right. And I guess the reason why I don't fit in with it is because I was a huge rebel as a teen (I lost friends in my small town when I said I didn't want to be a Christian anymore and fought with my parents over it), but I also grew out of most of said rebellion (I don't care to rock the boat anymore) which is why I'm not on the tenderqueer flip side of it. It's kind of lonely. I think another reason why so many of these lesbians (and some same-sex leaning bisexuals) want to settle down so badly, besides being a standard they were raised in, is because they think it'll turn out better in a same-sex relationship as opposed to what happened with their parents. Which it might, but the fact most of them are asking for that? Really?

>>294125
Yeah, the straight people (and opposite-sex leaning bisexuals) tend to be varied with relationships. I have straight friends who are in all kind of relationships, one is long-term, another is a typical ~open relationship~, and others just keep floating in-and-out relationships, others keep only having hookups, etc. Which is why it feels alienating how a lot of the lesbians are just 100% serious-only.

My parents married within a year of meeting and divorced after my birth within a year. Even if you're two women, you just can't know each other well enough to marry that fast or have kids that fast imo. It's like I'm being asked to make the exact same mistake which screwed me over personally. Yet it's immediately assumed you just want to use someone like a vibrator if you're not up for that. It's so black and white. I don't really have a solution other than moving away at some point.

In all honesty, as someone currently trying for a baby with my wife, I was going to tell you to go fuck yourself. BUT I counted to ten and reminded myself that you're not a pomo asshole who's telling me that I'm "not really gay" or that I'm betraying my kweerness by not having pre-approved affairs. I've had a lot of that from people - even friends - and it's made me a bit tetchy on the subject. Honestly though, you're right. The moment the penny dropped and I realised I was gay I just wanted to be taken as serious as a straight person would. I get really mad at the idea that gay people are special and "cool" and I've strived to show my peers that I just want the "normal things" in life like they do. Every serious girlfriend I've told I want marriage and kids before I truly examined where those desires came from. I didn't truly know I wanted kids until my little sisters birth nearly seven years ago. As for marriage, it was more of a fairy tale I hoped for; something to legitimise me in the eyes of straight people. The full weight of it didn't hit me until I fell for my wife and realised that I had with her what I didn't with my exes; and that had I married one of them while stuck on the autopilot setting I was on my life would be a complete shambles. Honestly there's probably a lot of lesbians out there who are stuck on this autopilot setting when it's not the ideal life for them, but like me they're gonna get extremely defensive when asked about it because the urge to fit in is so overpoweringly strong.

Sometimes I worry I moved too fast with my fiancee. I love her and I do want to spend the rest of my life with her and we have a wonderful relationship that's amazing in so many ways. Her family is so loving and supportive of us and she's so great with my older brother who has a disability. Literally all my personal growth has been motivated by being a better gf for her. Learning the stuff I should've learned as a kid is embarrassing as an adult but so worth it when I think of how we've progressed as a couple and working as a team.
But we got together really young. I was 18, she was 20, and sometimes I do wonder if I'm missing out on dating and casual flings and all that stupid young adult shit. I don't want to be like all my friends growing up who got married right out of highschool and then get stuck in their routines. And I don't mean that I'm stuck (no moreso than anyone else who shares bills with a roommate), just scared of repeating some of the mistakes I've seen other people making. I feel like if I was really content, I wouldn't be worrying about this stuff. What if I end up being wrong about what I want and then she's wasted years of her life on me? I mean hell, then I'd be wasting my time too. All the stress and family shit for nothing.
I had an abusive childhood and sometimes feel unable to identify what my actual desires are. Mostly I'm driven by a need to feel safe and loved at all costs, which leads to huge blind spots in my personal judgment where I will wholeheartedly feel like everything is perfect and good and I'm sooo happy, and then years later I'm having flashbacks and wanting to throw up because of whatever I was doing or saying to receive the affection I was getting at that time. I don't want to just pick what feels good, I want to pick what I want. I've noticed that the longer we live together, I've started to view her the way I viewed my parents. Lord of the household, must be appeased and happy at all times so as to keep the peace. I get anxious and watch her the way I watched my mother and even though she's literally never done a single thing to make me feel like I need to watch her, that's almost worse. There's this sense of "get it over with already, rip your mask off". Maybe this is all my anxiety? I feel so consumed with this awful dread that it will all be a huge mistake and our love isn't real, and the fact that I'm worrying at all is a sure sign that it's true.

I don't have a normal functioning brain but FOMO is normal and we always wonder at least a little whether the grass is greener on the other side. So it's not necessarily a sign that you're not really content. However

This is concerning. Again it doesn't mean that you don't love her or that she doesn't love you, but it's definitely a sign that you haven't worked through those issues and that it's going to affect your interpersonal relationships until you do. It's definitely not healthy and is related to attachment issues. This is something to work through via therapy and you should probably talk to your fiancee about it too at some point. Maybe a therapist can help with that too, because you're probably worried you'd offend her if you brought up that you've started viewing her the way you view your parents. Also
>What if I end up being wrong about what I want and then she's wasted years of her life on me? I mean hell, then I'd be wasting my time too. All the stress and family shit for nothing.
That's always a risk when you get into a relationship. However it's not all stress right? Or wasting of your time? You learned a lot of stuff together and grew, which counts for something, right? What about all the happy and nice moments you wouldn't have had together, if you weren't together? I don't think you two are going to break up over this or that you won't get married, but even if it did happen, that doesn't mean everything was a waste of time. It's about the journey together, not the destination.

I've realized that people with abusive childhoods or complicated childhoods do this once they are in an actual stable relationship. Healthy relationships bore them because they saw messy ones in thier childhood. Some people get bored of stability and mess things up just to see the if the grass is greener on the other side.
Your point of you missing out on casual things, do you know how many people wish they wouldn't have casually dated because they were looking for something real? Many people never find anything real and spend thier lives looking for it. If you want, break up with her. But if she has impacted your life in such a way you will never forget her and you will regret it later in a moment of clarity. I've seen people fuck up thier stability just for a night of fun and the repercussions are terrible.
My suggestion is to talk about this with her or go get therapy for this personal issue. Just talk to her and all will be well. Good luck ok?

As someone who did that "casual flings young adult shit", you're not missing out. It amounts to nothing, you're not getting anything out of it except for some sex that's going to be mediocre compared to the sex you have with someone you love anyway. It's not really enviable. It's so easy to find women willing to do something casual, but so hard to find "your person", and it seems you've found her. I'd give a left tit to find what you have. So no, the grass isn't greener on the other side.
As for the rest of the post, I agree with anons above, you should work through those issues with a professional.

NTA but as someone who can't find a casual fling or true love either, I think the reason a lot of lesbians idealize hookups and casual flings is because it's what most of our straight peers do, and are harder to get compared to straight women (I've had men hit me up because they assumed I'm straight, but trying to get a woman on an app to exchange phone numbers to arrange an in-person date is like pulling teeth - however I'm one of the nonnies who lives in a conservative area where most women want to settle down). I honestly think the "evils" of hookup culture mostly apply to male-female dynamics.

100% this. I had a messy, chaotic and abusive childhood and the "mundanity" of a healthy, stable relationship can fuck me up sometimes. In previous relationships I'd disappear for days, maybe a week or so at a time. I'd binge drink and use drugs, just be a total dick and do things I shouldn't. Even when I was single and things got too stable I'd compulsively shake things up or self-sabotage. I tell people that overcoming drink and drugs was the biggest battle of my life, but honestly I think this urge is a lot harder to beat. I'm happily married now but I still get the odd urge to fuck about out of boredom. I know people here have recommended therapy and that might work for you, but personally I had no success with it and found it a complete waste of my time. I've made peace with the fact that my childhood broke me and I'm putting the pieces back together myself. Hobbies and long term goals are what keep me going now. I work on upping my income, doing more charity work, engaging more with my hobbies, etc. My wife says that I'm like a shark, that I can't stop moving or it'll suffocate me and it's the most apt metaphor I've heard. But at least now I'm enriching my life, not tearing it apart for shits and giggles. Also as someone who did the whole hook-ups and casual dating thing - I regret it deeply. The grass is not greener and I wish I saved myself for the few serious relationships I've had.

Well by the time I'd met my wife I was fully committed to recovery with a decent chunk of time spent sober under my belt, and had found volunteering as a positive outlet for my restlessness. Those two things were HUGE for me. That saying "the devil finds work for idle hands" applies to me greatly and naturally being drunk and/or high I was far more inclined to listen to my stupid impulses instead of fighting them. Like I said, it is still there, and that's why I told my wife about this stuff while we were still friends. Just gave her a basic "hey so I'm a huge self-saboteur and sometimes I physically run from my problems so if I disappear for a while it's me not you" chat. She has her own demons and understood what I was trying to (poorly) communicate. I think us both coming from broken, fucked up homes is part of what makes us work so well together tbh. My ex before her had this perfect, middle class life with wonderful, loving parents so we were like aliens to each other and that caused a LOT of arguments. There was an adjustment period when my wife moved in with me, I had a very small studio apartment at the time so sharing that space with someone like me who's always flitting about wasn't easy on her, she felt a bit overwhelmed by things but we never actually argued over it. There were long talks where we would question each other on the things we didn't understand about the others coping mechanisms and such, but that was always done with love and dedication to making our relationship work. I did struggle to switch off and relax with her at first because I thought that having this amazing partner meant that I had to show her I was a capable person by doing a hundred things at once and taking her out and impressing her and trying to sweep her off her feet all the time. But once my wife realised this was coming from a fear of losing her, she sat me down and told me that I didn't have to do all that stuff to win her over and that she was already in this for the long haul, which really helped soothe my antsy-ness about the relationship. Honestly the key is to just talk ad nauseam about things until you're both aware of how the other person copes with things, the signs that they're under distress, and how to help them through things. Scheduling too, now that I think of it. At first it was a struggle for my wife to know when I was available and when I needed to be left alone with my hobbies to recover from spending time with people (I'm also an autist which probably plays a part in all of this). Admittedly I was doing too much back then, so sitting down together to make sure we scheduled in date nights, lunches and brunches and time at home to veg out together helped. As of now we're doing really well. No major slip-ups from either of us in a while and through talking and scheduling we've found a balanced pace of life that works for both of us and our individual needs.

This has always been true. I think it might be the only universal truth to ever exist. Thank you anons for the advice and understanding, I was so anxious when I woke up and remembered I posted this. Wasn't drunk or anything, just overtired and upset. I am in therapy for my various issues and have been for a year but I stopped going a month or two ago. There were some personal issues I had with my therapist + I felt like she kept getting hung up on stuff that I didn't feel was as important as the other stuff I wanted to work on. It's funny bc multiple people have made the same remark about the grass being greener, but I don't think I feel that way. I'm not bored, I'm anxious. Like super long form Chinese water torture. When's the next drop coming?? She's too nice! Lol. I don't think there's something better out there (I will never find another woman like her, it's like someone designed us in a lab to be soulmates), I just get consumed with the idea that I'm wasting our time and making a mistake, even though I'm happy. Like it's all gonna blow up in my face one day, or that I'm investing in something that will inevitably hurt me. I know that's not a healthy mindset, and it would be good to get it out in the open. It's frustrating because I know in my heart that this is not a logical thought process and nothing has happened to give me a reason to think this. I'm sure she has something to say that would put these fears to rest, she always does. I think keeping it to myself and cooking up these stupid scenarios and worrying over it is just making it worse and talking about it will probably make it all go away.
>>294448
I like your wife's comparison of you to a shark. I feel the same way about therapy. It felt like my therapist just couldn't understand that I wasn't gonna get back to whatever a base level person is supposed to be. She wants me to try group settings and to spend more time with my irl friends and join the real world, but I feel at my best when I'm alone, working in silence on my hobbies. I don't want to reconcile with my parents or join a knitting group or shop at the store my ex best friend works at just to prove I can, I want peace lol and those things aren't it. Your relationship with your wife sounds wonderful and I love the way you two work together. What you have is what I want, if I can only relax and learn to enjoy it.

Does anyone have advice for coping with loneliness, especially the sexual frustration/wanting intimacy aspects? I found out the hard way that a lesbian friend I had a crush on and was going to ask out has a girlfriend now, and while I know there's more fish in the sea, it's really getting me down. I live in a small town and it's hard to make friends while out when no LGB scenes and women my age on apps mostly want to settle down or are dyed hair tenderqueers who use each other as vibrators. I was really hoping I had my chance with someone, since we get along great, and I even thought she liked me until I realized she was taken. Maybe I should just wait if they break up…

I live in a red state, so that's my fear too if I go through with checking out sports. I'll probably do it anyway since I enjoy the exercise, but it gets really lonely and frustrating. I'd be totally fine with dating a bisexual woman, as long as she didn't treat her same-sex attraction as just a fun fling that actually results in an orgasm (lol), but most of the ones I've known prioritize relationships with men at the end of the day. I've only seen one Febfem on an app and she was seeking to settle down.

I wish there was a chat group for venting and advice or something for SSA women who live in rural/small/right-leaning areas, because most of the same-sex dating advice I see is aimed at women in liberal states. Like I'd love to just go to a gay bar or something, but there aren't any.

Wow, that sucks. I actually planned on taking a vacation in the spring to somewhere more liberal just to see if I get lucky, but if talking to lesbians online is any indication, I don't really relate to women who didn't grow up somewhere conservative/religious in some way. It's so easy for a young woman in a liberal area who has dated since high school to just say "download a dating app or move" when I've had no luck on apps (I've tried all the big ones and some weird niche small ones) and the low income here makes it hard to move out. The few openly gay people I've actually met down here are either men or too young for me.

I personally enjoy going to bars, so I've had hopes that if I travelled out to a gay bar, I would have some good time. I've gone to normal bars just to have a drink and listen to music, but I tend to either get hit on by men (except when I bring a male coworker to make them think I'm taken), and the women I find attractive are either with their boyfriend or I don't feel right approaching because they're likely straight. My last few crushes turned out to be straight, which is why I'm really crushed over how the lesbian my age I met is taken.

At this point I'm open to a LDR and putting aside time to meet up in person, but I don't even know where to find a woman my age with my interests that is open to that.

I don’t think you should be embarrassed of having a waifu, it’s a lot harder for us to find love, as long as you’re not a coomer about it. The anon who suggested sportsball had better advice, i see lesbos in that a lot more. The internet isn’t too shabby for finding lesbos either.

Mann it’s usually the bisexuals and enbies who are most anal about ‘looking’ gay, and being politically correct. Homosexuals often act like normal lowkey people. It really is the tik tok queers that im supposed to fit in with that annoy me the most. Adding that i don’t hate actual bi women, the ones on this site seem based. I hate ‘queers’ wearing frog hats, obsessed with queer culture and pronouns. Just…please go back to being emo. Why wasn’t emo enough for you people?

AYRT, I'm from a small rural town too. It may be a symptom of the times, I'm 31 and over the last ten years or so I have noticed more and more straight women get into sport and becoming gymrats around here. Used to be at the nearest 24/7 gym you'd often see women exchanging numbers or maybe even having a little soiree in the showers, but now the place is full of women who only got into fitness for the insta baddie ass and will glare at obviously gay butch women like me like we're lecherous perverts. Fucking bleak. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see straight women become slightly less hesitant about becoming muscular and playing sports, but the scene ain't what it was. I worry that newly out and/or young SSA women who are joining gyms and sports teams will once again feel sidelined by straights and stay in the closet in these situations, so it's just the oldfags like me left and we're not making the new connections we once would. Maybe we need to colonise a new hobby for ourselves, kek.

AYRT, I've been looking to find lesbians online with similar interests (since I don't really relate to "normie" lesbians and I don't find most mainstream non-woke LGB media interesting), but most of them are really young. I'm going to keep looking, honestly, since I'm okay with being friends with any age, but it gets so hard to cope with.

>>295340
It's really frustrating how even if late 20s-early 30s isn't "old", it feels like it's too late for me to even start dating at that age. I've posted in this thread about my other roadbumps in my 20s after being outed (I fell out of going to college because I wasn't ready and was abruptly fired from my first job and it took years to find a new stable one), all the lesbians I've talked to my age is already in a relationship and the single ones or girls interested in me on apps are too young.

Yeah exactly. You can try to actually be emotionally vulnerable, explain why you're hesitant and that you're not used to just hitting on women, because you risk actually being bashed back home and all the internalized shit from religion. They'll just look at you like you have three heads and think you're just talking out of your ass and being silly.

I literally look gay. I'm butch, but in rural areas I can also sometimes be mistaken for a farmer's wife kek. I just don't look "queer". It's weird how "queer" often means having to look MORE feminine. It's not even that I go around as a card carrying terf or anything or spouting gc stuff left and right. They just seem automatically suspicious of anyone from conservative areas and what was politically correct last week, isn't now. Even if you try to kinda keep up with it online, things move so fucking fast in liberal cities.

AYRT, the other issue is that with therapy and working on my self-esteem, I don't have as much internalized homophobia anymore. I have no qualms with walking up to and chatting up a woman, I'm a friendly person and people who talk to me IRL get along with me, and I love complimenting women and telling them they're pretty and whatnot. But the thing I learned when growing up in a conservative area is that most people are straight, my gaydar is completely busted because I've grown up around "stereotypical" people who turned out to be 100% heterosexual. So I don't even know who is available unless they say so, the last time I chatted up someone cute and was going to ask her out, she told me she had a boyfriend.

My worry about hitting on women isn't so much that I feel ashamed or what not. It's more that I'm worried they're going to freak out at the predatory butch dyke and call their boyfriend, family or bystanders to beat me up. If it really was guaranteed to just be a normal rejection like straight people deal with, I could handle that, but that's not what I'm dealing with usually. So even if you drop me in a liberal area, I'm not suddenly going to lose that worry, probably not even with therapy. I can't even get therapy for that shit around here, since if I talk about my sexuality to therapists in this area, I get the "male demon" spiel.

Therapy wasn't all that effective for me, but that's why I just got tele-therapy with someone out of state, but it was super expensive so I had to stop. Some therapists I saw were sympathetic and gave me "it's okay to be gay" spiel, but others were woke-homophobic and asked me if I might change my mind one day since sexuality is fluid. (Ironic, since conversion therapy is legal in my state, which is why I sought tele-therapists in liberal ones…)

Oh yep very similar. It wasn't really therapy in my case, but some sort of sex-ed organization I contacted about sexuality issues and also lesbian safe sex.

I spar with men too, mostly because I'm over 6'0 and pretty built so it's a bit of an unfair advantage with average height average weight women. Honestly though, the real reason I spar with men is because I've not emotionally recovered from the last woman I sparred with calling me a dirty dyke because I choked her out with my legs. "I only tapped out because that freak was probably getting off to it" I heard her say afterwards… that hurt more than any punch or kick or grapple I've ever taken. People will judge me as a hardass because of my appearance (like you said we're basically considered men except it fucking sucks) but that had me full on sobbing in the bathroom.

I'm so, so sorry you had to deal with a homophobic piece of shit like that, honestly this is exactly why I don't like the idea of trusting straight women as our sisters unconditionally without vigilance. It's one thing for a homophobic scrote to call you a dirty dyke but it hurts on an entirely another level when another woman uses your sexuality against you, very loudly no less. I've experienced it myself more times than I can count and it's like a dull, jagged dagger through your heart.

But it's such a fucking blow to hear that from another woman. Honestly straight women can take their "sisterhood" and shove it where the sun don't shine. Actions speak louder than words, I'll believe they consider me human when I'm treated as one. I'm sorry you've had experiences like this too, nona. Hit the nail on the head calling it dull and jagged. That's exactly how it feels; intensely painful but at the same time it's expected, you're somewhat numb to it.

I'm usually the only one. I get the feeling that many straight women in fitness and martial arts try to overcompensate by being extra feminine etc. Sometimes we'd get a masc visitor, but they're rare.
>mostly because I'm over 6'0 and pretty built so it's a bit of an unfair advantage with average height average weight women
I'm not even really taller than average height women around here, just got freakish tank genetics and I'm one of the few who seriously lifts on the side (since most are memed into thinking it makes them slow). I did sometimes spar with a woman who has 20kg on me and I still managed to injure her before her fight (she injured me too at some point later, so we're even).
>"I only tapped out because that freak was probably getting off to it"
AYRT, that hits like a truck. Not just the lesbophobia of it, but also basically accusing you of getting off on women being hurt. Fucking double whammy. Some say they want a women's gym, I wish there were lesbian gyms with a MMA/BJJ/(kick)boxing dojo portion, but that's probably never going to happen considering we're a minority.

Kek, same. Women on my mothers side are usually tall, broad as a barn and naturally strong. I have PCOS too so surely the excess testosterone has helped along the way. I got my start in boxing where one of my best assets was being rooted to the floor like a tree because cycling has given me a great advantage in that department, so speed ain't my style at all. I find it odd that most women I know who do combat sports focus on being light footed and nimble; like even our fighting styles are subconsciously gendered and being a tank is considered to be for the boys. I do lift but that's more for my mental health as I've found that building my ideal muscular body while ignoring all thoughts of gendering it has helped with thoughts of trooning out. "be the buff butch woman you wish to see in the world" has become my philosophy.

>I wish there were lesbian gyms

Lesbian rant incoming. Met a cute gay woman not too long ago and can't get her out of my mind. It's driving me crazy. We were flirting but I don't think she's actually attracted to me, just enjoying getting an ego boost off my attention. Maybe I'm insecure. My last relationship was really difficult and my ex pretty much tried her best to ruin my life and destroy my self esteem, and I've been really scared to date again. Most of my relationships with women have not gone great and I feel emotionally scarred. I want to get closer to this woman I met but at the same time I feel like if she tried to make an actual move on me I'd start crying because I'm just so troubled after my bad experiences.

I'm not super tall, mainly due to neglect and poverty, but still extremely broad and sturdy. Plus even though I'm well into adulthood, I gained 2-3 inches and people say it looks like I'm still growing. The magic of eating at a surplus. I hate how it was always expected that women are dainty, fragile and graceful. PE in school almost made me believe I hated sports, because they'd separate boys and girls and have them do different things. More rough strength based sports make it easier to like myself, because my body isn't aesthetic or graceful, just sturdy and yup being rooted to the floor like a tree. Pls don't ask me to prance around gracefully basically kek. Also being big boned usually leads to looking boney faster ime, which was one of the reasons for me to get into lifting. Seeing bones makes me feel weak and vulnerable and I want to wrap myself in a protective layer of muscle. Plus it makes life easier. Though because of boxing competitions and lifting, I was already interested in roids before I even heard of TiFs. The amount of self control I need to not just do it because it's the one way to get roids legally for a woman. It would just feel silly because I literally stopped doing competitions, because they started to say I would need to roid to really advance (since everyone does it at higher levels). Plus I felt like risking shots to the head might not be a good thing to base a career on kek.
>I find it odd that most women I know who do combat sports focus on being light footed and nimble; like even our fighting styles are subconsciously gendered and being a tank is considered to be for the boys.
Because there's this idea that women can only win via points and not with (T)KO. I ended up feeling like Grog the Destroyer with the amount of damage I caused on lower level competitions, because they're used to just dancing around each other and doing things for points. Oh and SPONSORS and promoters, they are super misogynistic, didn't want me to shave my head, threatened to pull out if I did. They often cared more about conventional attractiveness than athletic ability. Staying skinny and appealing to scrotes is often encouraged for that reason too. Some even get implants and end up shooting themselves in the foot, because not everywhere allows you to compete with those.

Oh, don't even get me started on promoters and sponsors. I had to keep my hair long because even my TRAINER told me cutting it would harm my career. She was right and she had been around the block enough to know that, (she was a lesbian too) but man, it was so disheartening to hear at an age where I very insecure in my sexuality and my butchness. I worked so hard and gave boxing my all, I retired undefeated with 20 KOs, 4 TKOs and 6 wins by points, but nooooo, heaven forbid I get a PRACTICAL haircut. You can beat the shit out of another woman for sport but ew, don't be too butch about it. I stopped my career for medical reasons but honestly, I don't think I would've lasted much longer if I tried. I'd already argued with people I shouldn't have and pissed off sponsors. Unfortunately as well as inheriting my mothers tank genes I also got her pissy attitude and big mouth, kek. It wasn't a planet fitness it was actually a small local ladies gym I went to. I thought I'd support an independent business and was hoping it would be women I knew from my time spent in local sports teams but it was just a bunch of hyper feminine women who looked like clones of each other and clearly hated anyone who didn't. I heard the owner laughing and joking about an overweight lady on a treadmill and it just soured me on the whole place. Like c'mon, if someone is trying to lose weight you should support and encourage them. I know that fear of sticking out in a gym and it's awful. That lady turned up knowing full well people would stare at her and say mean things about her and that takes serious balls! She was literally putting money in the owners pocket but the owner just had to be a bitch about it and all for a cheap laugh. Shit like that is why I'm having a small gym set-up in the basement of my new house, I can't stand being in that kind of atmosphere every day of the week. It's a huge mental drain tbh.

I think the best gym I've been to was hidden in a warehouse in an industrial area. Was started by a strongman who just wanted a place to put all his shit, charged friends a small fee to workout there too, until he grew it into a full fledged gym. Extremely positive environment, especially to noobs. Whether you're fat or skelly, they wouldn't let anyone bully you or laugh at you. That it started as a strongman gym also meant it had interesting equipment you don't see at other gyms and in the summer they would put big tractor tires outside for everyone to flip and those round stones. They also had a containment zone for the catty bodybuilders. Any other gym just feels like a waste of money in comparison, might as well save for a home gym. It still baffles me that such a scrote heavy zone, which would be considered "scary" by most, because they're so serious about it and they look "scary", were the only ones who would nip it in the bud if noobs to that gym wanted to be lesbophobic.

I'm still struggling to understand exactly what happened in my last relationship but basically we met right before pandemic and the whole thing messed up a lot of aspects of her life. I think she had lost so much she didn't know how to deal and even though I supported her she covertly tried to bring me down to her level as a cope, or something like that. She got really mean and nit-picky with me and most of the things she said to me were criticisms, where looking back she honestly had no room to criticize me, I think she was just trying to bring me down any way she could. She both tore me down and emulated/mirrored me which was really confusing. I could go on because the whole situation ended up being a total nightmare but that's just a brief synopsis.

Sexuality means nothing when you're GNC because society at large will always judge a book by it's cover; no matter how "progressive" people pretend to be. Like you said, femmes have their own struggles and I'm certainly not overlooking that. But I would fucking kill to be able to hide in plain sight without people knowing I'm gay. I've never even truly come out because from a young age I've always been assumed to be gay. At least some women find butches to be very desirable.

I honestly think progressive liberal people are worse with this shit. If you walk around in boots, jeans and flannel with a short haircut or even buzzed in a farming area, people just assume you're a farmer's wife. They'll actually even be friendly to you, until they talk to you and find out you don't have a husband and children of course. You don't have any plausible deniability in areas that aren't as rural and you're still fucked if you blow your cover or you end up dressing more dapper.

AYRT, liberals are 100% worse. I grew up rural and have lived and worked in various cities and I got way more shit in cities. Some of it was well-intentioned pronoun inquiries but it still makes me feel shitty and others me from gender conforming people who mysteriously don't get asked what pronouns they use. A lot of it was this neo queer "butch is regressive" bullshit which feels like pure cope from trannies tryna shift the blame and then there's the ubiquitous "anyone identifying as a lesbian is a TERF" attitude. In rural areas I didn't get assumed to be a farmers wife due to my race (not overt racism but race mixing is quite rare in those places) but I still wasn't really bothered. The town I spent the most time in is very working class, so the vast majority of people had jobs involving manual labour of some kind so I wasn't dressed too differently from other women. Working a lot of those jobs was refreshing because I met a lot of women who were just like "fuck appearing feminine, if I'm gonna work a job like this I'm doing it in comfort". Now I'm based in an office for a decent chunk of my work I find myself othered again, although I will say the older women have accepted me just fine. It's the younger Millennials and Zoomers that assume I'm a gendie and/or treat me like I'm some unenlightened cavewoman for wearing mens clothes without basing my entire identity on it. I've also been told off by them for keeping my pens in a Slytherin cup, kek. Funny thing is I've never read Harry Potter and only saw the first 10-30 minutes of each film before falling asleep when my HP loving little sister made me watch them. I took the sorting quiz for her and she's the one who bought me the TERF mug, but you know what these types are like. Anyway, I think the problem for women who are attracted to butches/GNC women is that so many of us have trooned out. It makes approaching us much harder because not only are they hoping they got it right and we're SSA, they're also hoping we're not begendered.

I live in a big NA city (not the one I was born in but I've always lived in one) and am in a masc4masc relationship atm, we are quite affectionate in public. I've only experienced aggression from one group and it has been black men, assuming they were turbochristians because the way they behave around me is completely unlike anyone else in this city.

It's simply not true, as someone who grew up in red states. Just because conservatives are less likely to be TRAs who think penises can be female doesn't mean all or even most are accepting. The so-called "conservatives who just leave you alone" are usually the younger "socially liberal but fiscally conservative" types or Log Cabin Republicans, or they make an exception for their friends who came out as gay. I know individual exceptions exist, and I try to not make assumptions, but I tend to feel unsafe with most liberals and conservatives. They're both homophobic in different ways. Liberals will analyze me and want to know if I'm "a good lesbian" (queer) and conservatives think I'm going to corrupt their kids just by existing.

I get where you're coming from, but I don't completely agree. I think all GNC women have different kinds of struggles, butches and masculine straight women have a lot of things in common (hostility from women, having their nonconformity seen as a childish transitory phase, men wanting to "fix" them, difficulty dating), butches still deal with systemic homophobia. I know that's going to make me sound like a SJW playing Oppression Olympics though, so I agree and disagree at the same time.

Side note, as much as I'm tired of gender politics 24/7, I think the fact there's no space for masculine straight women is why there are so many Gayyden types. GNC lesbians and straight/bi girls both feel like they need to transition to be acceptable. I'm acquainted with a straight detransitioner, and she's talked about how it was easier for her to get hormones from Planned Parenthood, identify as a "gay transman" (thus getting oppression points and being celebrated on her college campus) and just date bisexual men on Grindr than be a "boring" straight woman and find a straight man that was open-minded enough to accept her the way she is.

Firstly, I didn't call rural people conservative, stop pushing your American understanding of politics onto everything. I just said they weren't liberal. Most I know are apolitical because all politicians fuck over the working class. Secondly, I'm married and out frequently with my wife. We still get more homophobia from liberal leaning people because god forbid you marry and settle down, how backwards they view you when you mention kids in your future. Like I said in >>296073 they also tend to assume all lesbians are TERFs, or they're think you're privileged. Whatever it is they will find a reason to be snide and cruel to you. Of course other people are homophobic, but it's less hurtful than being treated like shit and mocked by people who will say to your face that they're your allies.
>Plus I don't want to be assumed a farmer's wife, why would being assumed a breeder be comforting?
Tell me you've never been a victim of serious homophobia without telling me you've never been a victim of serious homophobia.

Nice reading comprehension, dipshit. No one said conservative until you two posted. We just said "rural". Very progressive of you to assume all rural people are backwards conservatives. And yeah, I grew up in the middle east so even conservatives don't bother me no way near as much as the demons in my country.

Never said only I experienced homophobia but if you have to ask why a lesbian would like to be seen as straight because "ew breeders" - even after all the horrible stories of homophobia that have been posted in this thread - then I'm going to assume you have it easy. I could've done a better job at explaining the rural thing, you're right. But I thought posters here would have the braincells to understand that you're not either a liberal or a conservative and that homophobia permeates through all political identities. I shouldn't have been hostile though, you're right. I am sorry for that.

Kissing women is just so amazing, and I’m saying this as someone who hid behind the bisexual label until I came out as lesbian. Women kisses are just better than men kisses.

Women have better oral hygiene and we take care of our face/lip skin. Also, idc how middle/high school it is, I love flavored lip gloss and my gf wears this amazing cherry gloss and it makes her lips so soft and kissable. How do straight girls even kiss men with their crusty lips and face fuzz? Girl kissing solos, every time.

im so fucking desperate nonnies, ive been huge lesbo celibate for 20 years, living in a shitty islamic conservative country just made my lesbian life more harder, all the "kweer" people i know around me are mainly bihets but still are pissing me off w their "ugh i wanna kiss a girl! girls are better" and then ends up being the most annoying het retard. i even tried to convert myself to troonism to ease my lesbian desires, i ended up desisting, then to heterosexuality bc i was sick of liking girls, at the end i had a lil small crush on a friend but he told me that he's gay and that he saw that i was just liking him for this kindness (i would never imagine myself fucking w a guy, cocks are way to fucking disgusting), also i used to watch a lot of yuri and then sometimes lesbian porn just to ease my libido but then i discovered radical feminism and i stopped watching it (for the good) (but i still read yuri mangas by female authors only), i feel so doomed i just want to experience what does it feels to have a girlfriend, what does it feels to kiss a woman, what does it feels to be between her legs (and vice versa). when i see girls online being in a lesbian relationship make me sometimes jealous and sad, i cannot experience love bc i live w a bunch of muzzies. this post feels pathetic af, but i just feel like im gettin old and missing a lot..

No harm done. The majority of users on this website are from North America, especially in the US the rural areas are usually conservative (even being apolitical is basically just being conservative, people's values do align with those policies be it fiscal or social) so when you say rural, and then compare that to libs within the same paragraph then it is pretty normal to assume you are making a left vs right comparison. I apologize for coming on strong against you as well. The farmer's wife thing, I'm still currently processing resentment from years of being told I'll birth children and marry a male eventually so that is why I used the word "breeder". It's not actually anything against family planning, though I find the notion of doing it myself intolerable.

I grew up near the Middle East so believe me when I tell you, you and I have more in common than you think. I maintain that the city folk and libs in my corner of North America have been extremely soft and nice towards me even as an indisputably dykey woman out on the street. There are some homeless/addict types and "normal" religious men trying to start shit that I mentioned before but they're so rare ime. Doesn't mean your experiences are any less deserving of sympathy, I'd just like to get across that I'm not some silver spoon tenderqueer who knows no hardship. It is precisely those years of hardship in my country of origin as well as the places I've moved to along the years that I have the opinion that I do. My main stance is that any homophobe is garbage and I'm perhaps foolish enough to be as eager to take on someone screaming slurs at me as someone who is quietly thinking I'm going to hell. Of course my former shithole home is far, far worse but I don't really care to compare how bad people have it in different countries. It's apples to oranges.

Anyway, I'm wishing you and your lady love all the best.

Just what is it with older women being more accepting anyway? I feel like I get the stink eye from women under 45 all the time for being butch but ladies in their 50's and up? They always love me and treat me like the daughter they never had, complimenting me on my style and clothing and genuinely admiring how "though" I am.

I seriously feel like some anons do take the "liberals = regressive genderists, conservatives = based anti-trannies" dichotomy pill. It's probably fed by the two-party system in the states with the mindset bleeding over into other countries. Conservatives, as in people with conservative social values including those that regard gender roles, only hate trannies because they associate them with homosexuality and that's that. They're never to be trusted with our rights or thought of as "allies" just because they don't ask for your pronouns. Fuck, along with talking about gender identities they also banned talking about sexual identity so that a lesbian female teacher can't mention her wife or support a kid with two same sex parents or she could risk being fired for "imposing homosexual propaganda on the children". That's why it was called the "don't say gay" bill.

As for a lot of liberals who aren't just the male feminist type of faux reformists, they usually haven't been exposed to the degeneracy of the trans movement so they just see them as a "harmless minority deserving of their identity" and are pressured and battered into complying out of fear of ostracization. Moreover people lobbying for trans organizations like Jennifer Pritzker are opportunistic republican conservatives, meaning they'll fund a liberal if it helps them with their insane transhumanist agenda but will not comply with the rest of their ideals. This discussion genuinely makes me wonder what people see as a "liberal" or a "conservative" anyway, if someone is accepting of you as a gay person, especially as a gender-nonconforming one, it's actually a very liberal stance. Just because a person is a countryman with no university degree or any idea of deep social commentary doesn't make them "conservative".

>>296127
I actually think the point about becoming a "gay trans man" i.e. a heterosexual woman with extra steps is less about not being a "boring straight woman" but more about an attempt at reaching sexual liberation and being able to fool around with no consequences. If a woman is sexually active she's considered a whore putting herself in a risky situation with rape and pregnancy, but as a man you're either equal or dominating your sexual partner.

Well, social (i.e. not fiscal) conservatism as a philosophy isn't about respecting individual life choices, i.e. tolerance. They're about conforming to social expectations based on traditionalism which being in support of same sex relations isn't a part of. Mental gymnastics like this are exactly what I'm talking about, trying to brand anyone who isn't a complete pronoun-inquiring circus clown "conservative" or someone framing their homophobia as wokeness as a "liberal". Shit like that leads people straight into allying with Breitbart-esque publications just out of desperation and ending up being exploited and fully cannibalized.

AYRT, I think it's a mix of both. This can be taken to the detrans thread on /snow/ if needed, but the trans thing is basically the next evolution of when every alt girl identified as bisexual on Myspace or the whole "LUG" thing. It's both a coping mechanism for feeling "boring" (I used to identify as nonbinary/agender because I thought being "just" a "cis" lesbian made me boring), and like another nonny said, a lot of conservatives think trans=gay, so if a straight person goes trans, they're basically "becoming gay" and escaping their boring life in the Republican's eyes even if that's not how it works. It's treating being oppressed as a form of social currency in certain circles. I live in the Bible Belt and I still see some radiqueers with dyed hair wearing MOGAI pride merch parading around, because it makes them feel vindicated and powerful to be "living their true self" in such an oppressive space. Meanwhile, I used to constantly double-check myself and worry if I "looked gay" while living in a predominately Christian community, because I can't just opt-out of being gay besides staying in the closet (but even then my family has gossiped on why I'm still single), but they can change their hairstyle and clothes if they really wanted to.

nta and not a burger, but a 14 year old gnc girl got her teeth knocked out, nose broken, near one of the most progressive cities you could think of fairly recently. In another northern city they called the cops on a gay man existing, because he was "disturbing the peace", since there were people at that time who believed covid was sent as a punishment for gay acceptance. The rural south has a history of cross dressing festivals, more women dress gnc more often due to the factories and farms, they also aren't as obsessed with conforming and how everyone has to be normal. Even the religion is different, rural south has the more secular and laidback version, which has been largely replaced by unions. The supposedly progressive north has the destined to be sent to hell version. South votes economically left (the party is pro gay but anti tranny afaik) , but culturally far right in some areas, north votes fundamentalist Christian or pro tranny neoliberal. Plus in the south they wouldn't dream of calling the police, definitely not for something as retarded as being gay. But they're all seen as backwards farmers, white trash hooligans. I never had to run from street preachers in the rural south, deal with neonazi gangs, Muzzie scrotes upset at dykes existing, people calling the police for fuckall and them actually listening, people actually caring enough to bully lesbian couples away etc. Just ONE especially progressive city and people act like the whole north is like that.

Moving too fast, Uhauling, ending up suffocating each other, controlling behavior, chasing NRE etc. They think when the honeymoon phase is over that the relationship is dead and end up getting a crush on someone else and think they have to chase it. I haven't dealt with it personally, but every time I take a peak into "the community", ask my ex about things or try to date myself, it comes up. Every other lesbian I talk to on Tinder has just gotten out of a relationship where she was cheated on and she's obviously looking to rebound and make the exact same mistakes as before. I'm in my 20's though, before someone in their 30's wants to yell at me with "that never happens".

Cheating is just common across the board, it's not a lesbian issue at all. I'm sure uhauling contributes to it but straight people have the same issue of losing interest as soon as the honeymoon is over and developing crushes that they furtively nurse until it escalates into an affair. Relationships take a lot of effort even when you're super compatible, many people are ill-prepared for the reality of loving someone.

Speaking of that, my gf and I have been discussing marriage in the future and I'm getting excited thinking of ways we could propose, which one of us would beat the other to the punch, etc. She's my perfect woman. I love her so much!

I feel ya on healing from years of being told you will be a wife and you will be a mother. For the longest time I thought I wanted to be a single crazy cat lady 'til death. It wasn't until I fell in love that I realised that I actually did want those things, it was just the thought of having a husband and having to do the unspeakable with him to have a baby that repelled me. I still get the odd bout of "is this just years of religious and cultural programming propelling me along this path? can I really trust my desires?" and I'm nearly 32. We probably do have a lot in common but I can be an abrasive autist if I don't stop and think before I speak/post, lol. I live in Britain and have worked a lot in western European cities and I've found that city moids are typically the most unhinged and think nothing of yelling "dyke" at you as if it's the most normal thing in the world to do. Given that the last time a homophobe got up in my face I ended up arrested for aggravated assault, I prefer the kind of people who just glare at me. YMMV and all that but I've found the rural community I live and work in doesn't give two shits either way on gay people. They won't call you names and they won't throw you a pride parade either, which suits my wife and I just fine. Of course there's the outliers and the grumpy old people and psychotic young moids trying to prove themselves, but it's not too bad. IMO cities just seem to make people more batshit in general, regardless of political views.
>I'm perhaps foolish enough to be as eager to take on someone screaming slurs at me as someone who is quietly thinking I'm going to hell.
Yeah that's how I was for most of my life. I think growing up like we do just makes you wanna swing at anyone who starts shit, especially once you have your "freedom" in the west. At least that's how it was for me. Getting arrested and going through anger management was the wake up call I needed. Homophobes 100% deserve to get punched, but I'm not derailing my life for them. Not unless I have to act in self-defence. Anyway, thank you for response. Wishing you all the best too, nona.

AYRT and I've been wondering that myself. Sometimes I think that maybe they've just been around the block enough to know that it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, butch or femme, you should just treat people as they treat you. That's the vibe I get from them anyway. A lot of them are mothers though and are very maternal towards me. When I had moids calling me a man or asking sex questions it was the older women who got up in their face and told them to shut the fuck up. They compliment me on my style too, lol. It's the sweetest thing. Having had a former model for a mother who loathed me being GNC, it honestly has me grinning from ear to ear when they tell me I'm looking handsome in my suit or whatever. I know what you mean about trooning out. We have a FTM at our work and these women talk about how they hope she learns to love herself and live authentically and I think, man, I couldn't do that to them, not after they've defended me so much and treated me with such kindness. I think some of the ones I'm closer to know the struggle though, it's not discussed but when I'm getting nasty comments or rude stares they're always there to tell me there's nothing wrong with being a masculine woman and they're proud of me for being myself. It's like maternal telepathy or something.

I'm not a dapper looking masc at all, more of a streetwear enjoyer, but old ladies and women/girls under 40 have the best reactions to me. As everyone said, old ladies are encouraging and super sweet and even more so since I've gone more masc than before. I didn't expect little girls to look up to me but especially since I buzzed my hair I've been kind of a hero to the daughters of my neighbors. It does feel nice as I expected them to be a bit afraid of me or whatever. Feels like I have little nieces in the area smileyface. Adult women enjoying my appearance makes sense ofc, I'm pretty used to the sexual attention. For some reason the hetero 40something crowd does not like me that much, regardless of sex. I do have good manners when it comes to making sure I'm not blocking anyone's way and doing little favors like holding doors or giving people spare cash I have on me. Still, I seem to make older straight women uncomfortable in particular since I got a buzzcut.

I used to have some anxiety around being masc4masc in public, especially worried that the older ladies would stop being nice because "both of us are the boys" but that thankfully has not happened kek. The dreaded double-gay effect has not applied to us.

Adding to what others have said… I've personally never had an issue with cheating in my circles, but do see it frequently with some acquaintances. As with most things, it really depends on the people.

Since I'm old and tired and busy with my job, I choose to only spend time with people who are more stable or settled already. I tend to see cheating more often in groups with a lot of emotional immaturity or unhappiness, and that's common in a lot of LGB circles what with how a lot of our youths go.

Happy, stable people don't often cheat, while turbulent and emotionally unsatisfied people do. It's not hard to imagine why there are a lot of unhappy lesbians in society.

Just a vent. I know you can be same-sex attracted at any age, but I hate how where I live being LGB is just associated as a young person/zoomer thing. Every out person I've met is too young, and the ones my age or older have settled down. Gay groups are both hyper inclusive and aimed at the younger crowd. It feels like I came out too late and now I have no dating pool. My sister is bi and she was talking about how she saw a gay looking girl at a store she went to and they flirted, and it makes me wonder where are the single lesbians my age around here I can do that with?

my (also lesbian) ex apparently is going to marry a bi woman 15 years her senior soon (she was married to a scrote in 2016, once before that, has 4 kids from those marriages) and that bi woman convinced her to troon out and she's already changed her legal name apparently. I let her go to actually be with a normal healthy minded person and yet she has been doing the opposite ever since and all I can do is watch. She kept this from me, because I expressed terfy opinions before and I had to find out via a mutual friend. Of course I'm not invited to the wedding, but I would've assumed she would at least tell me when it gets to that point, since we're still texting and she still sent me a playlist she made like a week ago, unprompted. She's closer in age to the woman's kids than to her actual future wife. I get that dating is difficult in this area, but just why? I can't say much, because I'd come across as the jealous ex, even though I would never date her again considering we've both changed a lot. Or maybe I'm just shitting on her happiness? I can still think she deserves better than this

Probably for the same reason she didn't tell me she trooned out and allowed me to "misgender" her the whole time. She's a people pleaser and afraid to be judged, which I'm honestly doing right now. Her main friend is a straight gayden TiF (used to be my friend too, but I lashed out eventually when she trooned out when we were 16 and tried to pressure me too bc butch), other than that she's not had any time to interact with anyone else. Just sporadically with me and one other woman, who gave me the heads up, since she's concerned too.
Even when she first started dating her fiancee, she suddenly had to drive those kids around everywhere constantly and other wise she was working (pretty sure her fiancee is her manager too). She's been practically completely isolated from almost everyone ever since.

Honestly from the sounds of things… you can't help her. Part of why my last relationship imploded was because of me being an evil TERF. I can guarantee you that anything you say to your ex, no matter how friendly, will be misconstrued as "evil TERF trying to sabotage me". It's fucked up that she's being used as a babysitter and seems to have been pressured to troon out but until she reaches out to you I don't think there's anything you can do. I know how it feels, as much as I hold a lot of anger towards my ex, I still worry about her. Tl;dr is that she's using cocaine "recreationally" and drinking heavily while she's supposed to be studying for her PhD. I feel horrible, especially since I was the out of control junkie when we were together and she helped me, but now things have changed. Just try to remind yourself that you're not responsible for your ex, you can't babysit her, she's a big girl and she's got to live with the decisions she's made. This doesn't mean you're a bad person.

It just feels stupid, since I partially broke up with her way back then, because I believed she deserved better, my family unlike hers wouldn't have accepted us going offical (wasn't safe) and I don't believe I'm sane enough to be in a longterm proper relationship anyway. I still think that was the correct decision even with the knowledge I have today, because we were so young when we got together and changed a lot during the relationship too, kinda naturally grew apart. However she has only gotten with women who were actually abusive, from an "asexual lesbian" to someone physically abusive to now being used by her manager. I can't babysit her, but I do see myself as one of the people who ticked over the first dominoes that led to this.
