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! If you suspect a poster is XY pls report and ignore instead of shitting up the entire thread with accusations. Newfags pls lurk and read the site rules before posting, and be careful to stay safe and anonymous (use a VPN, incognito mode, be wary of external links/discords, and be very cautious about the personal details you include in your posts).

Just posting about a good time I had.
I went to a Halloween themed lesbian night at a local bar last Saturday. It was what I needed after being ghosted by a girl I was trying to date. I danced with a few other girls and even madeout a bit. I'm sure I looked like a trashy mess but I don't care.

>>297001I'm the opposite of a prude and I feel the same. I'm not one of those "I only want to have sex with my soulmate" types but despite having a casual attitude to relationships, sex with strangers sounds dangerous. STDs, hygiene, and whatnot aside, what if she secretly brought a man along (something that has happened to a friend of mine)? Or whatever else that can go wrong?
Not to mention, when I was super desperate and tried to seek out hookups despite my body saying "no", I only got attention from men despite stating I'm a lesbian. Ugh.

>>297539Some of the threads I follow have anons that actually keep looking for reasons to not-so-subtly shit on lesbians. The smallest mention of a lesbian experience, some insecure straight anon decides you must be a bisexual in denial thinking she's lesbian only because you think it makes them special. And whenever it escalates into a fight the person defending the lesbian gets accused of instigating it. I'm not kidding, I see this happen all over the place and I wonder if it's just a handful of spergy anons or a bigger sitewide problem. The homophobia definitely did not exist at this scale a few years ago and mods were much faster to ban people trying to bait with it.

when i say i hate moids i mean i hate moids ESPECIALLY those who are fucking eachother. nothing more scrotal than that it makes me sick. but at least there is one form of male that leaves women alone to a degree although there is a class of them that likes to larp as women deluding themselves into thinking they're somehow equal, sometimes even "better" because ummm i will never get pregnant or have periods EWWW haha !!!! inb4 NotAllFags idgaf.
maybe i'm biased because i've been bullied by two gay moids in the past. like they were truly the nastiest people ever i can't understand why everyone thought male homosexual = okay but female homosexual = scandalous deserving of harrassment even beyond those two but they outed me. like wtf doesnt make sense at all. it should be the other way around like fucking eachother up the ass is alright but things having to do with vaginas aint and is nastier than the former? the fucki dont care if i say something homophobic towards males, i mean it. i know im a dirty dyke and a stereotypically manhating one at that and i'll own it. just because we're lumped into a community and share a similar trait does not mean i will ever feel bad for them much less join them. besides, i'm a thirdie so it's not like there's any lgbt work done around these parts so i have no one to be grateful for even if i had to.

For nonnies who are sexually experienced: how bad of an idea is settling to hook up with (not date) bicurious/"bihet" women (that don't have a boyfriend or are looking for a threesome, obviously)?
I feel like crap for being so inexperienced, especially when I wasted my teens-20s to being in school and working shitty jobs, I never got to explore my sexuality since I was forcibly outed in high school so I tried to go "nuh uh, I'm asexual, I don't like anyone" and forced myself to be celibate to prove them wrong. Now I left higher education and my last shitty job and am pushing 30 and want to date since I have a casual and noncommittal attitude to relationships, but all the lesbians around want to settle down (even though late 20s-early 30s isn't even "old", all my straight friends are still having fun and being casual and saving marriage for later). I can't move to a different state or city yet and I really don't feel comfortable dating a younger woman (maybe 25+, but not 18/19 or early 20s).
The only women who don't want to adopt kids with their soulmates are the bicurious types, and while the idea of just being used for a quick orgasm for a "socially straight" woman makes me feel like shit, I don't have other options. Am I better off just having sex with them when I'm horny/desperate to get the insecurity over being a virgin out of my system and wait for a decent lesbian or even febfem to date later?
No. 298407
>>298392I'm not much for hooking up but I feel like it might make you feel like shit afterwards nona. If you feel like it wouldn't tho and you just want to have sex that's entirely up to you.
The thing with being a virgin though is you don't yet know what you're comfortable with until you're in that position… So I guess you could always try and remember you have the right to say no at any point. For me personally I have trouble hooking up with someone I barely know or am into but if this is not the case for you than ignore me. Sorry this is a non committal answer I feel like this is a tricky situation and entirely dependant on you.

>>297254>especially the martial artist anons who have great insight on being a butchHey, that's me!
I don't think I'm hot but my wife is helping me work on my self-esteem issues. I've lost count of the amount of times I've went to post on /ot/ about a homophobic encounter or something that's been bugging me related to my sexuality or butchness and I just delete what I typed up and never post it. This is the one website left on the internet where I actually post and have conversations with people and it sucks that I have to second guess myself all the time so I don't get called a dirty dyke, a misogynist, or an NLOG for being butch. My wife and I are trying for a baby at the moment and I have SO much anxiety and general angst relating to that but I dare not post on any of the apprpriate threads for it here on /g/ because of both the stigma of being a lesbian and the stigma of not being the mother who will carry our child. It's depressing, to be honest. I can post in here, but I think I'm one of the oldest regular posters and obviously I'm in a very different stage of life so it's still quite isolating. That's not to say I'm not grateful for you ladies in here though, because you're ultimately what keeps me coming back to this lesbophobic cesspit as "lesbian" communities on other corners of the internet are… well,
you know.
>>298405I know how you feel, nona. In the past I've just vented here to insulate myself from this bullshit. Honestly, I find it very ironic how bi and straight women will screech at you and call you names because they automatically assume you're a huge misogynist and dislike them while giving you very justified reasons to dislike them, kek. Zero self-awareness.

>>298405The other day there was a huge autistic meltdown in /ot/ of anons just complaining about lesbians literally conspiring to turn all straight women into lesbians by "looking down on them for being male-attracted". The most ridiculous shit I've seen yet, I thought the website had been getting more homophobic by the minute but that really was a major mask off moment. I want to cope that it's men going undercover but having met so many straight women like that IRL I know scrotes can't foot the bill for demented bigotry and close mindedness every time.
>>298411I'm sorry nona, you can vent here at least. I don't know how old you are but I'm in my mid 30's so I'm guessing I'm on the older side of the userbase at least. This thread is probably the first time in my life I've gotten to talk to other butches albeit anonymously so it's been inspiring to hear your and others' stories and experiences.
No. 298445
>>298407AYRT, yeah, I'm not a hookup person either but in the last thread I talked with other nonnies how the scene is either cottagecore types who want to get married or queer polycules who use each other like vibrators and no in-between. So I guess I could settle with the experimenters before finding someone I want to date, even though I have no luck in gay spaces.
>>298432Masturbating doesn't replicate being touched by or interacting with someone, and it doing stuff by myself doesn't do much for me anyway. And I do use dating apps, but my OP detailed that most lesbians my age want to settle down which I'm not compatible with. I also said I
don't want threesome stuff, I hate getting liked by het couples, but the straight people I know get to have more "varied" dating styles than marriage VS hookups.

It's crazy because all I'll complain about is how alienating this website can be with how male focused it is and then I'll have someone jump at me like I'm personally trying to persecute straight women and fujos who want to talk about their men… Like I literally do not care it would just be nice to see the same energy towards women

>>298417>The other day there was a huge autistic meltdown in /ot/ of anons just complaining about lesbians literally conspiring to turn all straight women into lesbians by "looking down on them for being male-attracted".Jesus Christ on a bicycle. It's officially not a tinfoil anymore: this place is DEFINITELY getting more lesbophobic. Wish I thought so highly of myself as they did, tbh. Like c'mon now, if we were gonna "turn" straight women do they really think it would be homophobic /ot/ lurkers? I find it weird how there also seems to be this belief that lolcow is "full" of dirty lezzies, have they not seen the amount of fucking husbando threads here? The Driverfags? The Danofags? LC is overwhelmingly straight yet the moment someone says they don't find a certain man to be attractive or make a statement about men being shitty it's "SHUT UP FAT DYKE!!!" even though those comments almost always end up being from straight women being honest about their experiences with men or daring to not like a certain husbando. I've also noticed an uptick in femcels lately, and I know a lot of people don't like that term, but y'know, if the shoe fits. Of course they're not as bad as their male counterparts and that's not what I'm implying as that's a pointless argument; the one thing men excel in is being worse than women in almost every conceivable way. But it's certainly a trend that is noticable here, whatever you may call these posters. Plenty of times now I've seen an anon post something cute that her Nigel said or did and immediately she's pounced on with "he's gonna leave you", "he's just doing that for sex", "he's cheating on you", etc. Some even admit to being celibate like it's some epic own on a seemingly happy woman in a relationship. Personally I think the rise in this attitude and the lesbophobia is linked, both type of posters are extremely bitter and terminally online. I think they need to, as the kids say, "touch grass". Or failing that touch an electric fucking fence because goddamn this place is in the shitter.
>I don't know how old you are but I'm in my mid 30's so I'm guessing I'm on the older side of the userbase at least.Oh, sweet! I'm 32 next month so it's good to know there's others in my age group here.
No. 298520
>>298517AYRT, that's a good point. I forgot to mention the polilez problem as I like to forget they exist, kek. Definitely a few of them lurking here, I remember seeing one (I think it was in /ot/?) adamantly insist she's a lesbian simply for not dating men - as if the attraction is just a little footnote of no importance. I've also been pounced on in here for being "scrotey". Read: talking about physical acts of love beyond hand holding. A bunch of other anons defended me but the polilez really dug her heels in; it's like they're allergic to admitting fault. Ironically these posters are the first to defend the "zomg girls are just so pretty? I just?? omg I can't I just alhfdsljshf" brand of transbian that try their luck in this thread from time to time because if you dare talk about your sexuality in the manner of an adult you're a moid, a coomer, or maybe both! Insulting parodies of lesbians and a weird fixation on calling grown women "girls" is a-ok but talking about s*x is bad and makes you scrote-brained. If it wasn't so depressing that these are the type of women we have to share our thread with I'd laugh.
>>298518Yeah it's really fucking odd. Like personally I tend to like older women and extremely masculine women and naturally not many others share my taste but I can't imagine ever giving a single, solitary fuck about it. Different strokes for different fokls. It's so bizzare to attack someone for it, let alone band together and post pictures of said moid. It's not even imageboard culture at that point, it's plain ol' retardation.
No. 298521
>>298518I hate the way they derail every thread, they're just like /pol/ shills. They find a way to talk about their moid obsession in every random situation even though they have
several containment threads for likeminded anons. It's not enough that they get a dedicated space to enjoy whatever they're into, they need everyone to participate in it.

Insulting parodies of lesbians and a weird fixation on calling grown women "girls" is a-ok but talking about s*x is bad and makes you scrote-brainedDA but this is a big reason why I keep expressing my sexuality or sexual interests to myself now. I can't describe physical traits on women I find attractive or a relatively vanilla fantasy on an anonymous imageboard without getting accused of being a moid/TIM. Or a coomer, even though porn has always grossed me out with the exception of
some well-done artwork. I've always felt like an outsider in any community, but any "female focused" community is always inevitably full of homophobic straight girls. I've had half my posts on the "secret" board of CC deleted and called a moid, meanwhile straight/bi girls can coom over porn-y shit like their husbandos getting abused, gangbangs, size queen, Nazi cosplay, etc. I admit I have weird tastes since I grew up a nerdy kid and a lot of my childhood crushes were on weird stuff, but sometimes I wish I was purely asexual. I've had friends think I was asexual or solely "romantically interested" in women since I never talk about this stuff.

How do you deal with het women who just have to spread their brainworms with you? Acting like period blood is literal aids (my mother literally tried to ban me from washing my reusable pads in the washer lol). Always commenting on apperance (your body hair is nasty even if you wear long clothes, why don't you wear makeup or buy pretty clothes). Acting like not thinking about or doing something for a man 24/7 is some serious mental illness. I feel like I am dealing with cult members. Even many lesbians still hate their body or center men.
No. 298591
>>298577AYRT and from a very young age I felt like a "girl with a boy brain" (turns out I'm just an autist, how shocking!). Ever since I was a toddler I was into traditionally male things, I hated girls clothing with a passion, and being raised in a religious middle eastern shithole I naturally rebelled against my gendered expectations. I also wanted to be a """straight""" trans man. Kinda still do, if I'm being 100% honest. Even now I'm married there's still that self-hating voice in my head telling me to pull the
trigger and troon out. Doesn't help that I get read as male a lot anyway and when I don't I usually get dirty looks and homophobic comments. Naturally my approach to sex was impacted by that and dating bisexual women fucked me up big time. Seriously, dysphoric gnc women should NEVER sleep with bisexual pillow princesses. They will treat you likse a pseudo man and it'll do some real mental damage. Dating my wife who loves my masculinity BECAUSE I'm a woman, and not in spite of it has completely changed my life. My confidence has rose in and out of the bedroom. I speak with more faith in what I'm saying, I take more chances in both work and my personal life, I dress in the flashy suits I used to dream of wearing, I work out every single day and bodybuild, I cut my hair how I like, hell, I even let my PCOS stubble grow out when I don't have to leave the house. I can look in the mirror now and see a handsome butch who's got her shit together, not the "failed woman" I used to perceive myself as. The world might not like hyper masculine women like me, but the most important person in my life does and that's a real lifesaver. In fact there are more butch appreciators out there that what we might think, not bihets looking for an easy lay, but actual lesbians who think we're hot. It's so easy to lose yourself and pigeonhole yourself both in personality and in sexual ways but there are people out there who acknowledge the whole spectrum of our humanity. The trouble is finding them and being brave enough to discuss such things.
I'm ESL and stoopid so I'm sorry if this is fragmented and doesn't make much sense. No. 298593
>>298591AYRT, yeah, that's half-relatable. I'm autistic but not sure if I qualify as dysphoric (I've talked to some people who say I do, but others disagree, but personally I think dysphoria/dysmorphia is usually semantics) since I only feel that way about certain body parts due to abuse, but otherwise despite growing up as a nerdy weeb autistic girl I was never masculine presenting. Girly-girl stuff like makeup was uncomfortable to me as a little girl but so was trying to be with the guys. But when puberty hit I felt like I had the sexuality of a man or something, and this is the part where radfems would accuse me of watching porn when I never saw it, I just had a wild imagination combined with puberty hormones.
That's what stopped me from transitioning when I became a legal adult, because I knew trying to "be a guy" when I was mostly feminine as a child would be just as unnatural. I sometimes wish I was butch or even one of those rare dysphoric femmes so my feelings would "make more sense", but both roles are unnatural for me.
No. 298602
>>298599ntayrt but I agree so much with this. I did a deep dive into feminism/radfem stuff during covid and although I still feel so passionate about women's rights. The cavalier way lesbians have been treated throughout the movement is starting to become more apparent the more I read about lesbian history. The way that straight women call themselves lesbians because they think that will hurt a mans ego the most. And how political lesbians are the ones pushing the "angry dyke" stereotype because they think that all their rage at men will be invalid if they still want to sleep with them.
Right now I just want to think and talk about lesbians and that's it lol.
No. 298603
>>298572Yes! I was thinking about this yesterday. I wish there was more resources for lesbians about our sexuality. At finally 30 I'm comfortable or even excited at the idea of being eaten out. It took me until my 30s! (I did grow up in a very religious family though)
I feel like 20s are usually filled with low self esteem feeling uncomfortable and doing what your partner wants even if you don't want to do it- for most women. I wish it wasn't like that and I could have had the bullshit meter/ wisdom/ confidence that I have today.
And I'm proud of you for taking the leap and opening up to your wife.
No. 298604
>>298602ntayrt but yeah I think getting too deep into any ideology can be a bit brain melting. It's like I agree with many aspects of it but there sometimes doesn't feel like there's room for nuance or discussion like… everything is decided already and there can't be new discussions to be had.
At the same time I don't particularly feel a kinship towards the women (I'm talking about women who like otherwise agree with the criticism of the trans movement who aren't conservative) who badmouth anyone who has ever looked into radfem theory and called them radfems even if they might have more complicated feelings about the same issues. I've seen women compare radfems to TRAs and it just feels a little juvenile as much as I have issue with some of the ideas floated around.
sorry for sperging this is maybe getting off topic but yeah agree with the weird puritanical attitude towards lesbians. lol
No. 298615
>>298603AYRT and I know exactly how you feel. I'm nearly 32 and have only started to enjoy being eaten out in the past year or two. I had so much shit in my head I needed to unpack (I had a religious upbringing too) but also it just turns out that I've had some really shitty partners who rushed through it because they wanted to get to the strapping. Being designated as the "man" because of my butchness created a lot of issues too, like a really strong aversion to receiving any kind of penetration that I'm only just overcoming; albeit in baby steps. Thank you lol, it sounds so silly but I was terrified of telling my wife about my hang-ups. Like I thought I was totally punching above my weight with this absolute knockout of a beauty who's intelligent and witty and just this amazing woman who I'm falling really fast for and now I gotta tell her I'm weird about sex?! What the fuck am I doing!!! She's from a simlar religious background though and has been through the whole "assigned top at birth" thing so we really clicked on a lot of things. I'm ashamed to say it was the first time in my life I actually talked about sex before blindly leaping into it. I know most people think it's unsexy (I sure as hell did) and that it kills the mood (ok I admit it
kinda does kek) but it really is the best way to have satisfying sex for both partners. Especially if you're wanting a long term relationship with that person and want to avoid the dreaded "lesbian bed death". There really is fuck all resources for lesbian sex out there, like actual female-on-female, no troons allowed, resources that not only discuss casual sex but also relationships and how to navigate boundaries and discuss hangups. I've had a lot of younger lesbian friends irl ask me for advice and it's made me think about trying to do something about it, but all I can think of is a website and I'm an absolute idiot who has zero clue how to make a website, let alone promote it. There is blogging, but I don't want to subject myself to social media again. I do worry though because there's so much misinformation out there and a really risky approach to protection (or the lack thereof). My friends looked at me like I was a wizard when I gave them a demo on how to turn a condom into a dental dam, kek. My wife and I are working on our long term goal of starting a local womens shelter/advice center. I was hoping once we get that off the ground that we could start outreach programs to local SSA women. It'll be a total minefield with the troon issue, but fuck it, I'd rather try and fail then never try at all.
No. 298632
>>298627Yeah discord and social media is just like that, I've met some cool people through them though. So there's always a chance you'll click with someone.
I guess for irl it depends on what type of art like you're gonna find a very mixed crowd at figure drawing sessions. But I've also taken game art specific courses which tend to be young and male unfortunately. But the meet up/drink and draws seem to be on the younger side also.

>>298520ayrt polilez ideology was literally written as theologist poetry, because most polilez in the 70's came from a heavily religious organization, before pivoting to radical feminism iirc. They even kept the same magazines, just the content slightly changed. That's why they're still so dogmatic and puritan today and can't admit fault.
>>298537I do express myself, but I just chastise myself to a disturbing degree. Reverse psychology, and I kinda hope that if people see the damage religion and puritan polilez does, they might rethink things. Like ha you want to dogpile me? I have more shame and guilt than you can imagine, I can do much worse, I don't need your help. Usually that keeps them off my back. Irl I don't talk about it at all though, because homophobia can get violent, I don't trust anyone and I don't want to come across like the stereotype people have of butches. Just "sex obsessed", misogynistic lockerroom talk etc. So irl I come across as asexual too.
>>298599I got more 'dysphoria' from being in rf spaces (online amd irl) than just existing in homophobic patriarchal society alone. Many are just as obsessed with gender as TRA's, but I already had written those off when I came across my first at 16. But holy shit everything is male brained, everything I do is scroteish. Even just random ass shit which has NOTHING to do with sex. If I have to believe them, I already make the perfect scrote and have already betrayed womankind by being butch and a 'lifelong'. Meanwhile they were the ones pressuring me to be naked in the sauna and calling that scroteish too? Just no sympathy or understanding at all, if you feel uncomfortable about any aspect they don't, you're treated like you're literally Hitler. 'We're all women here, so what's the problem, are you scrote brained?' No I've been changing separately from other women for more than 15 years, because when I realized what I am and heard girls say they don't feel comfortable changing with lesbians, I stopped going into women's changingrooms. Nvm body issues I got from 90% of my sexual experiences being with bicurious women and also having a mini traumatic experience at a nudist place when I was little, yeah I have a problem with being naked around people, including other women and I don't see how that makes me a scrote. They expected me to get all over it on the spot or else I'm a traitor, even after explaining. They get a pass for trying to bully women into getting nude, meanwhile if I would've ever expressed my lesbianism, I don't even want to think about the shit I could get.

>>298615Best of luck with the project anon, I sure do wish there were more resources earlier in my life but had to learn the long and hard way like you did. I try to look out for the younger lesbians that ask me for advice but it's such a minefield out there that we can't just give tips to a few kids and call it a day if we want people like us to be safe and happy. In that sense, I'm proud of you for planning something more impactful.
>>298655I saw a post in one of the FtM threads that "lesbians groom straight women into trooning out" and I find that so fucking hilarious. Lesbians grooming anybody. Buddy we are too busy being groomed!
>>298667The changing room drama is odd to me because while back in my younger days I didn't present masc enough to read as gay (so I was not seen as "other"), I began to feel uncomfortable with changing around women before the age of 10. I remember my female family members being more than a little weirded out by me asking to change in private. I found it too intimate I guess, like I shouldn't be seen that way by anyone other than someone I felt safe around.

>>298667It's interesting that bicurious women or het women do this a lot and make US the one uncomfortable. In college swim class I would change in the lockers and shower naked but I did it quickly since we had stalls but no doors to cover us. The times my ass has been grabbed is incredible and I would say 'stop' but my classmates would take it as a joke. Even if I would tell them I'm a lesbian and makes me uncomfortable they'd say things like ' you're not lesbian' just because I'm femme. I have a curvy thick body and It was usually the skinnier women who'd do that to me since they'd compliment me as they did so, it's not a compliment. Stop staring at me. I come from a different country than America and I didn't have much issues in my other country changing with other women until I came to America. I don't necessarily think it's an American thing though.
Also straight friends show me thier nudes which I don't understand why. They tell me it's to make sure it is attractive enough to send to thier boyfriend? Why would I care? I'm still a virgin and a lesbian, how would I even know what is hot for your bf?

>>298667>I got more 'dysphoria' from being in rf spaces (online amd irl) than just existing in homophobic patriarchal society alone.AYRT and yep, same. I remember one time we were discussing video games, I mentioned that I was playing Mass Effect and posted a screenshot that showed the male Commander Shepard I was playing as and I was immediately met with "why are you playing as a man? ew why do that? can you not relate to women? seriously why???" like fucking hell, chill out. I don't like that even if I do manage to make a butch character in a character creator that was clearly meant to make pretty, gender conforming women that I still have to wear a dress in a certain quest, I don't like the misogynistic comments a female character can recieve (I get that it adds realism but it's just, ugh, this is my hobby) and I also wanted to romance a certain character who is straight as I had played as a few different female characters previously. It was this minor detail but this inquisition from them had me over analysing it like "omg do I subsonciously value female characters less? am I truly male brained because I'm autistic?" I know it was a real "touch grass" moment but I was in a bit of a slump mentally speaking and my gf at the time was pretty much a bihet who treated me as a non-threatening boyfriend. To hear that from my so-called friends was the last thing I needed. It happened constantly though, these never ending nitpicks: why do you wear mens cologne, mens clothes, why see a barber, why not correct every single person who reads you as male, etc. They'd virtue signal that clothes, haircuts and perfume/cologne held no gender and that they're soooo enlightened unlike those trannies, but god help any woman who butch'd too close to the sun. It made me want to scream.
>>298719AYRT, here's a (relatively) short version of my safe sex 101: Always use dental dams or cut up condoms the first few times, use a condom to cover your hand/fingers when manually stimulating each other and if you're using a strap-on or a similar toy put a condom on that on top of sterilising it each time. I know it sounds overkill and it is kinda silly at first but it won't impact your enjoyment. Laughter during sex is natural. I'm sick of people acting like it's porn and you have to keep it oh so serious and sexy. You can buy dental dams and I've heard that some sexual health clinics now give away free ones however in my experience they're hard to find and often expensive to buy. Condoms however are easily found, often free at clnics and will cover oral sex, manual sex, and the use of toys. Might catch heat for this but if you're sleeping with a bisexual woman who has been sexually active with men the need to be careful is even more important. Yes, the rates of lesbian STD/STI is pretty low comparitively but men are disgusting and often cheat making bisexual women a bigger risk for us. Naturally if you're in a long term relationship you're gonna want to forgo protection at some point, which is fine. But I would strongly advise you both get tested first to be safe. It's something I've done with all my serious relationships. Even in rural areas like mine it's not too hard to set it up. You can go to your doctor or find a sexual health clinic, there's also home test kits now, at my doctors you can take a chlamydia test kit home and then I think you either post it somewhere or drop it back off at the doctors. I know it feels weird and embarassing to get tested but the nurses have seen all sorts of shit, so they won't judge you. If you or your partner has a history of drug use or a previous partner who does - get tested for hepatitis and HIV. As a former drug addict I cannot stress this point enough as I've seen far too many friends get their lives derailed by hep or HIV. When you get your results, show each other. If your partner has nothing to hide they won't have any reason to not show you their results. I say this because an ex of mine tried to withold hers and it turned out that she had herpes. Thankfully I wouldn't have sex with her after that so I wasn't harmed. If your partner doesn't want to show you their results, do NOT sleep with them: it's a huge red flag. When you're both clean and having sex without protection, I would suggest still using a condom on toys. Between poor storage conditions and improper cleaning it's easier than you think for them to get a lil funky. Never heard of latex underwear before lol, sounds weird and I'm assuming very overpriced. With a dental dam you get the mobility you need to actually do a good job and pleasure your partner, I can't imagine being able to really go at it with latex underwear but if anyone in here has experience with them please let me know if I'm wrong. For now though I'd say stick with a dental dam/condoms cut into dams. Cheap, easy and gives you the mobility to make sure you're actually having good sex. I'm kinda rushing through the basics here as I'm about to go out, but if you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer when I can.

>>298738Thank you so so much for this. You dont know how helpful this is and just for another younger woman to read this and to protect herself is amazing. For other women who want to safetly practice sex this is the best way to go.
When my ex was pressuring for sex she'd tell me that she didn't want to use condoms because we were monagmous and boom, she cheated on me with a bisexual woman already in a relationship. Of course I freaked out and had to get tested asap. Luckily nothing happened, but she did get an std afterword. I only know because she wanted me to console her afterword.

>>298719I saw these at a store the other day and was very tempted to pick them up… I know they're probably used to check a scrote's prostate kek but they seem like they have a practical use for lesbians as well. I don't really know if they are better at protection than condoms for finger stuff but I like the idea of these better so I don't have to ask over the counter for condoms and have to carry them around (though they look like mini ones anyway)

>>298742Thank you, nona.. Like I said I hate how risky some lesbians can be with sex so if I just get one person online or off to be safer than I'll be happy. Damn, I'm sorry about your ex. I didn't mention it in my novel of a post but obviously getting tested after infidelity is important too. I hope you didn't console her, tbh. If my ex cheated on me and then wanted sympathy for catching the clap I'd laugh in her face.
>>298746I volunteer in a homeless kitchen and use these a lot to keep a plaster in place. They're ok but I can find them a little tight and they also have a habit of rolling down from time to time which is no good if you're using them as protection. Can't believe I forgot to mention latex gloves like picrel though. You can buy them over the counter in pharmacies and after covid quite a few supermarkets and general stores starting stocking them. I would actually recommend them over a condom as you'll be much more… uh, agile. Fuck it I'll say it: you can penetrate with fingers while using your thumb on your partners clit, which is something you can't do with a condom on your hand. Just be sure to buy the powder free ones, I'm almost certain that stuff would cause some itching. Also this isn't
really related to safe sex but if you have eczma and/or sensitive skin like I do, be sure to give your hands a thorough wash and moisturise after having latex stuff on them as it can cause irritation.
No. 298969
>>298953AYRT and it depends really. If you and your partner are happy to forgo sex while you get tested and wait for the results then god bless and good luck. What worked for me was to practice safe sex whilst that process is happening, as it can take up to a few weeks to get both of your results back and, well, you know what it's like during that honeymoon phase. My wife and I do still use condoms on toys as I'm personally a bit overkill with things, but as long as you know how to properly store and sterilise them that part is completely up to you. If it's casual sex then IMO safe sex is 100% something you should practice. When you're hooking up in clubs or off apps you never truly know who else that person is seeing or if they're being safe with other people. The only problem to look out for when you're monogamous is infidelity, naturally. Like I said in
>>298900 I would get re-tested if I found out my partner had cheated - even if they swore they were safe. I've been there personally and the sexual health clinic was very accomodating in getting me an urgent appointment as that particular ex had cheated on me with four other women and I was extremely panicked by it. Sounds like you're all good though, nona!

Nonnie! And yeah I like waiting. Builds excitement lol. The toy thing does seem like easier cleanup. I used to just run to the bathroom and wash the toys with soap but that probably isn't the best practice…. I'm sorry that happened to you and I'm glad you got a rush testing.

There have been a couple of times when I was full of butterflies and couldn't even speak because I was shaking lol. Years later I read this relationship advice book and it said that it could have been apprehension that I was wrongly believing were butterflies.
Or you're just nervous as heck and if that's the case just be honest and tell her. But there's already an imbalance in this relationship. You already have her on a pedestal and you're not grounded/stable at all if you can't even talk to her. Not the best place to be to start something with her. Build your confidence! See her as an equal!

>>299006So long as what you're using is anti-bacterial you should be good. Most sex toy shops stock toy cleaning wipes now though which I keep a stock of as they're incredibly handy to have, especially when you're on holiday. I always feel weird washing my toys in hotel sinks lol. Thank you but honestly my ex doing that to me was actually for the best. We were awful for each other and she did hit me from time to time but I was in a rut so her cheating finally gave me the push I needed to leave. The fact I skipped feeling sorrow over being cheated on and went straight to panicking that my clit was gonna fall off because of super herpes was very telling, kek.
>>299125How do you find shorter women treat you due to your height? I'm 6'2 and if I had a penny for every bihet who told me to step on them I'd be a very rich woman indeed. Not saying I don't enjoy being taller and buffer in the right situation, but some women are so gross with how they assume you're an aggressor becauase of your height and/or build.
No. 299146
>>299088I think it's really great of you to not flirt with someone taken. Most people wouldn't care, so thank you for being considerate. It's hard to date as a lesbian and even harder when one tries to sabatoge another's relationship out of selfishness.
>>299125I'm 5'2 so no matter what I think I will always be the short one. I have to put a box or stool to reach my cereal in the morning which would make my ex laugh at me. I would love wearing a gfs clothes to sleep. It would feel nice. Hope you find someone nice for you.
Also male-lite is the word that most women once they know I'm lesbian (I'm femme) they look at me as that immedietly or try to make me seem more masculine in thier eyes. It's so wierd. Is my sexuality really that important to you? You're not even in my dating pool.

>>299146I'm butch but I've noticed that once femmes/feminine leaning lesbians are "found out" and people know they're lesbians it's like they're regarded with this weird suspicion.

Anyway, we work together and usually she dresses quite femme-ish at work, and one day she had to come in to grab something on her day off and when some co-workers saw her dressed in the street casual stuff she normally wears and no make-up I heard one of them say "I
knew she was trying too hard to be womanly at work" like what the fuck? Even if that was true, can they not work out why GNC women femme it up at work when surrounded by straight gender conforming people? Literal pea brains.

>>299150Ugh, that is so annoying. I've had that problem before too. It's a bit hard for me to seem more gnc because of my body type (curvy) I can't leave my body parts at home. I wear light makeup, like Korean or Asian style makeup. The light foundation the focus on highlighting your face and etc, as opposed to fiery or instagram makeup. I think some bidet women have gotten annoyed at me saying I'm in 'camouflage' some even say 'I'm glad you're not so gay about things' or 'I usually don't like gay people but you blend in well.'. That really hurts my feelings. Even with other bihet women they get offended when they ask straight up 'do you think im pretty?' . I don't even know them.
I think I have gotten more flack from my family because I dress sort of traditional, think skirts and Sunday best dressed, as opposed to what they believe lesbian women dress like. In thier village they knew only of one lesbian but she dressed butch and wore men's clothing and nobody bothered her and accepted her in the village because she was very skillful in her wood crafts.
One day I wore a sweatpants set to the gym as opposed to 'leggings' or sports bra or whatever. I guess girlier clothes? My parents were all concerned and asked me why I wanted to be a boy or whichever and that they 'realized' i was really a lesbian and shocked. Like…no it is cold, I want to be comfortable and I don't want guys at the gym to bother me. I don't want anyone to bother me when I work out. My gym time is for me only. I want to sweat so I got sweatpants on. I don't want to be a man, and I'm not faking being a lesbian.

>>299151AYRT, people are so backwards. The stereotype of a lesbian dressing masc is bad but if a lesbian
doesn't dress masc that is also bad. The "not like other gays" line is like a dagger through my heart. I've heard it from "friends" before and it's basically being told that you're tolerable so long as you never mention something about you that you have no power over; something that you did not choose and cannot stop even if you try. I mostly heard it from men as I used to hang out with a lot due to having male dominated hobbies, but hearing it from a woman was always worse. Like other anons and myself mentioned upthread, misogyny and homophobia always hurts more coming from your supposed "sisters". I'm sorry your family are like that with how you dress. Picrel is really cute but I guess wanting to protect yourself from the cold is masc now. Eskimo women must be butch as fuck.
>>299152Glad you corrected yourself. Calling a bihet a bidet is misleading as a bidet can wash a mans ass which is something most women can't get their Nigel to do.
No. 299161
>>299156I have brothers and I agree that none of them wash thier ass. None of them also brush thier teeth and we have a bidet installed and yet they still do not wash thier ass and smell like must. My brother also doesn't care and change in front of me which I've told him various times that it makes me uncomfortable. All of them have girlfriends as well which I do not understand. One gf told me that she used to date only women until she met my brother…why would she do that to himself he is a slob.
Fortunately, the good thing about people saying those things aloud to you you can see which of them are true friends so you can slowly distance yourself from them. That manner, I tried to make a group of good friends that way and I've succeeded slowly. What sort of hobbies do you have? I dress however I want but especially my father has a lot of criticism and he has bad taste. He is a stereotypical macho man.
>>299159While I agree keeping an open mind is good to dating I think lowering one's standards is not good. Especially if thier values go against yours. My ex would constantly never give me attention ( only when she wanted love and attention) and on purpose compliment and look at other women in front of me. I find out that was a way of her making me have low self esteem and making sure I'd always feel unworthy of her love. I think that it's great that you found things about yourself that you want to improve. Myself, I have to find the correct balance of giving the same energy as the other woman is giving me and put the same effort and not expect so much.

>>299159I'm the anon with unrequited feelings towards a lesbian and honestly I don't feel incel-y about it, we were just friends, I felt a crush coming on and wanted to get closer so I could see if she was comfortable with dating someone like me,bthen…I find out she's already taken. My heart was broken before feelings were fully formed, lmao. I tend to not get crushes easily, so this was a huge letdown and I still have trouble coping since finding someone with similar interests and experiences, and a lesbian (or bisexual and actually wants to date women) has been hard for me.
I do relate to lowering standards, though. My bar is super low but at this point it feels I might have to settle with someone I'm not super attracted to (which is the lowest bar for me, I'm not one of those "a connection must be formed/need romantic feelings first to be attracted" types). When I was on apps there were women who liked me but I ignored because they weren't my type, but if I could go back in time and make myself match, I would. It's slim pickings.
No. 299213
>>299187Probably hard to explain because you don't want to come to terms with subconsciously setting all your possible relationships up for failure. You pick women that have the least success rate so you can protect yourself from being open and vulnerable and you allow yourself to get hurt so you can move on and repeat the cycle never having to open up to something possibly meaningful. Or You like the victories of winning the bihet women over and you feel that by winning their favor it makes up for some rejection from your past. Or none of those two things.
I'm
triggered from being a baby gay in the 2000s and everyone having internalized homophobia wanting someone that was really feminine or straight. I know it's a preference but I feel like it's on the same level of armpit/leg hair being a preference.

>>299306Red flag. I'm seeing as someone on the older side, I know when you're (general you, since I was in this camp too) young the idea of dating someone older and stable is attractive (when I was early 20s I would've loved to, but now that phase of my life is over, I wouldn't go near anyone younger than 5 years), but in the end it's just a fantasy. Obviously they're both adults and therefore not "grooming" or "pedo", but every adult I've known who dates younger adults were insufferable and immature to the point people their age were repulsed by them.
I found out a few months ago that a friend of mine that I actually cut out of my life is dating someone 11 years younger. She is 36, her partner is 25, they met when she was 21. And to me, it kind of made sense that she would do that. When we were friends she was immature, I had to constantly walk on eggshells to not offend her (we are in the same age range, btw, she's slightly older, but it felt like babysitting), and she was stuck in the past and obsessed with nostalgia and things that emulated her teen years. Another friend who cut
me off was like that too, I found out she was dating someone mid-20s in her 30s, because even being friends with someone her age who criticized her unhealthy/immature behavior was too much for her.
When it comes to most age gaps, I just wonder for the older person what someone younger would have that someone their age wouldn't.

>>299156 and I couldn't agree any more with what you said. I got had a long term relationship with my first girlfriend and we even got engaged, but unfortunately she died in a car accident. After that I closed myself off, I thought "why get close to someone if the world can take them away from me in such a cruel and violent way?". So I specifically sought out bihets who would never challenge me emotionally, who would never get too close to me, who would never ask why I'm weird about sex. I was the bad boy they always wanted but were afraid to pursue. I'm tall, muscular, I used to be a boxer, I'm tattooed, I ride a motorbike; those kinds of girls lap that shit up. I didn't even have to open my mouth to impress them. It sounds like I was living the dream and getting easy pussy and, well, yeah, I kinda was! But that "dream" was more like a nightmare that had me over a barrel. I was an alcoholic junkie with enough emotional baggage to fill a fucking warehouse. There were times when I would cry and these girls would look at me as if I just ripped a huge fart. It ruined the mirage for them! The big tough butch isn't tough at all and actually has feelings! Ewww! I
thought I got over it with my most recent ex. We actually connected, we were friends first so it was a nice foundation to build on. Buttt… when we first started flirting she would send me porn, stuff she found hot I guess. It was either male gazey """lesbian""" shit that was fake as fuck or het porn where I assume she wanted me to be the dude. She was a pillow princess who never challenged me on my sexual hang-ups but she was soooo gay you guys! Totes bi and experienced with women! But the few times she tried giving me head she stayed down there so long she almost developed gills as an evolutionary reaction. She clearly got her "technique" from the aforementioned porn and I was so bored I actually started thinking about football one time. She was into me as a person,
theoretically, but not so into me that she challenged me on why I was slowly killing myself with drugs and booze. She swore we'd make it though, somehow. Even made a pinterest board for our wedding that would totally, definitely, absolutely happen one day except… she didn't want me meeting her parents. Middle class, well educated white girl didn't want the middle eastern butch who's dumb as a bag of hammers showing her up in front of mummy and daddy, I guess. She had a great relationship with her parents too so when she denied my request to take them out for dinner it felt like she ripped my heart out and stood on it. I only met like, four of her friends too. They were snobby uni students who looked at me like I was a simpleton (maybe I am but that's besides the point). I tried breaking up with her like… three times I think? Before I finally thought "FUCK THIS SHIT" and left for real. She did stand by me through some tough shit and we
were good friends who had some great times together that I'll cherish but it absolutely, categorically was not love. Frankly it was blasphemous of me to call it that. Meeting my wife reawakened the part of me that I thought died with my first girlfriend. Full disclosure: I think the fact that my wife is also a lesbian plays a big part in why we work so well together. She
gets it, y'know? No shade against anyone here dating a bi chick, if it works for you then fair 'nough. But for me it was almost like self-harm. I cannot preach enough to younger lesbians how important it is to not get caught in a cycle of dating women who do not challenge you emotionally and will never commit to you in meaningful way. Never settle for being a caricature. Never settle for being a bihets flavour of the month. Date a woman who loves the full spectrum of your humanity! That probably sounds weird but I'm ESL and stoned on painkillers 'cause I tore my damn bicep. But yeah,
please love yourselves and date women who deserve you.
Wow, this was a huge bummer of a post. To balance things out: it's my wedding anniversary this coming weekend! My wife has arranged a little trip up to Scotland for us. I love dumb conspiracy theories, being in the middles of nowhere, and cold weather: so we're going to Loch Ness! We're gonna look for Nessy, go mountain biking, wild swimming, paddle boarding, and just chill in the surrounding countryside in these swanky cabins in the woods. I think that's a title of a horror movie but it's ok because we're both final girl material. Appologies for rambling and r
ddit spacing. I have not took painkillers in a very long time and wow* my tolerance is shit now; I'm gonna go sleep for like 18 hours. Goodnight m'lesbians, take care of yourselves. ♥

>>299336AYRT. Yeah, the people (straight and lgb) I've known who date younger to cope with their immaturity say they "have to" because dating is hard when you're older. That's true, I came out late and have trouble finding someone now, but I've had to stay single because I really don't want to date someone younger or even older. It frustrates me when I tell my younger friends that the woman in her 30s is likely a creep only to be blown off because "I'm mature for my age, and older women are hotter anyway". Like, okay, have fun having your relationship be babysitting someone older than you.
Side note, but the friend I cut out who is dating someone 11 years younger, ironically, reminded me of my father and how I had to walk on eggshells around him. The age gap between my parents is similar to theirs, and my dad would often take home younger women after divorcing because the ones his age were rightfully scared off by his behavior. My other former friend that cut me off also was dating someone in their mid-20s last relationship was with someone a decade younger, and she had a tendency to burn bridges whenever she was criticized. She burnt bridges with me and burned another with the company she kept after.

>>299352Yeah, I'm 29 and I guess I was just looking for the right person, so now I really want to find someone my age. It really sucks that your younger friend is like that because that's my friend R is as well. His parents grew up in a rural village and got married, so he bases that as a true love story. Uhm, your parents had no choice, had different values and different lifestyles. The kicker is that he complains that his father is immature, so I think there is a lot of truth to what you're saying.
Your friend and father sounds a lot like someone I knew. They'd burn thier bridges if someone gave them a different perspective and then burn thier bridges in a fiery destructive way. People like that are going to continue to have problems in any relationship they are in because they can't even handle thier ownself and take responsibility for thier behavior. Like the anon who shared her story above, it's better to have someone that actually challenges you emotionally than keeps you stagnant. You can have an 'easy relationship but if it doesn't fulfill you you can start having problems or either make them up yourself because you aren't happy with your own self worth.
I hope me and you can date someone mature and worthwhile in the upcoming year.

>>299355So am I, I came out during the pandemic despite knowing since I was a teenager. I started using apps and looking into local scenes when lockdown was over and I've mostly gotten attention from younger women. I've had a few early 20s women IRL chat me up or flirt and it grossed me out. I know statistically lesbians tend to come out later, but I have no idea how you even start out late 20s-early 30s when most women I know are taken.
I know this site tends to skew younger, so no offense but I just don't want to date someone so young, they tend to either be super woke or really socially awkward and borderline rude and have no filter due to going online at a young age.
No. 299367
>>299362I dont use apps because I feel like fast food on there. I think that apps make it so hard to connect with others. I'm going to continue to try to look for someone in the 'wild' and hope for the best. I also think someone I'd be interested in would have the same feelings about these stances to me. I wish you luck, maybe you can find someone in a special interest?
I can't stand having friendships with someone younger than me, I only had one friend that was young but they were a neighbor on my street. The other younger friend I have I play a older sister type and try to encourage them to do the right thing. Cheating is also rampant and the vocabulary they use "catching feelings' is super interesting but eye opening. They see as being committed as a bad thing.
No. 299368
>>299367That's what I've been doing, but my hobbies tend to attract moids or younger people in general. The younger women who flirted with me in-person initially noticed a band t-shirt I was wearing or I have a tv show pin on my bag, I guess it's because being into that stuff makes me seem younger, but I'd really prefer to find someone who likes the same stuff and is the same age since we'd have similar experiences with fan communities and whatnot.
I'm personally okay with being friends with any age 20+, but relationships are a whole different story. I tend to have a similar outlook to them when it comes to relationships since I don't want to settle down when I haven't even had my first relationship, but then every my age wants to settle down. Sometimes I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot by being strict about age (even though I literally can't be attracted to someone young and baby faced or old and wrinkled), but my former friends and family who are in age gap relationships have shown me they're not healthy or fulfilling anyway.
No. 299371
>>299368Yes pins and those cute things do tend to attract younger people. When I wear things with characters on them people just assume I'm younger. Even when I wear a college alumni sweater they assume I'm a college student or a high-school graduate.
Let's say you get into a relationship now, and you end up changing your mind about settling down. Is that possible for you or do you want to explore your options more? And yes they aren't really fulfilling. I wish you the best of luck tho anon.

>>299371>Let's say you get into a relationship now, and you end up changing your mind about settling down. Is that possible for you or do you want to explore your options more?I'm not ruling out settling down if I met the right person, but I've hardly entered the dating game fully to even know what my options are or if the right one is out there. My few matches on apps (since it's my main way of filtering and finding women my age) got cold feet over wanting to meet up. I'm not a hook-up person or someone who wants to have mindless sex, but one thing that I kind of resent about those who came out younger and in a safe place is that they can be single and mingle with their age without serious commitment. I've personally had never been "in love" or felt strong romantic attachments (attraction, on the other hand, hell yeah) and I won't rule it out, that's why I don't have a serious outlook on dating and want to just have fun and try things out. I really want to figure out what kind of personality and dynamics I can work best with, but I don't have any ways of finding out. But now my pool of who is available is mostly women who have already experienced that phase and want to settle down, I don't have what they want. I dunno. I wish dating over 25 was easier, I'd love to find someone in this boat, so we can test the waters.

>>299387I wish we could make a club of lesbian women over 30 for every country hahaha. Kind of like a country club kind of thing. There would be bound to be someone that is a match for you. I'd love to be able to meet others and learn from thier experiences. I've actually heard from other people that meeting women's hard because they do get cold feet or the conversation goes nowhere unless they're strictly looking for hookups only. It also depends on your area. I know for sure since I live on the west coast that there might be special places or events, but sadly I don't like to drink or to go to clubs. Its not my style and I think I'd be untruthful to myself or present myself in a false way if I did that. I wouldn't be having fun.

>>299337Thank you, nona. I believe she's in heaven too, and they couldn't wish for a better angel. I hope over the course of my life I've ranted enough so that the next generation of lesbians value themselves more and aren't afraid of commitment and emotions like I was. I always used to think the next generation would have it better than I did but I think they might have it worse. Actually, I know they do. Want a wife? You're copying the heteropatriachy. Wants kids? You've been brainwashed into thinking you want them or are copying the nuclear family model. Want to move to the country and live a simpler life with said wife and kids? Colonising neo-nazi. Hell, can't even want a biological female for a partner anymore. Makes me wonder how we backpedalled so fast in such a short amount of time. I think in times like this dating a lesbian is even more important given the increasingly huge chasm between us and bisexual women. There are normie bisexual women out there, don't get me wrong. But they're bloody hard to find.
>>299346Funny you say that because I did get a book about my life published; only thing is it's about my alcoholism and drug addiction. It's basically a written epic fail compilation but in my defence, I did it so I could whack up the profits between the addiction charities that have helped me recover and a savings account for my wife and I's future kid(s). I used a pen name and changed names, locations, etc, so it can't track back to me. I figure that I spent so much money on drugs and booze that I may as well get a return on that investment. #finance

I love my partner so, so much. She possesses everything I look for in a partner, and I'm so lucky to be her girlfriend. She's exactly my type, and god, I can't understand how she can be so effortlessly perfect. It's like, being a ray of sunshine is second nature to her, and she's such a breath of fresh air in comparison to the other women I've dated or who have been interested in me. Because I’ve only been in toxic relationships before, feeling like I’m cared for and loved is entirely new to me, and I’m so grateful that I can have that experience with her. Likewise, I want to prove to her that what we have will be nothing like her last relationship, and that she can lean on and trust me. I want her to feel protected and loved, the same way she makes me feel. She makes me want to be the best version of myself I can be, and I always want to be someone she can be proud of. Anyways, I've been thinking about her since she's been busy all day, lol. I can't wait to hear all about what she did today later.

I really wish I could find some lesbian friends, nonnies. All the women I meet are so unironically homophobic and obsessed with men. Blogposting but I recently finished a nursing course. The class was all women, and all of them were very kind, except that they would straight-up be homophobic as hell at random. I couldn't find anything in common with most of them because they'd always be talking about their ex bfs, their children, or shows I don't watch bc they had male thirst traps (like the Dahmer one). I was terrified as fuck of being ostracized since we worked so closely as a group in a lot of tough situations. So I said as little as possible about myself in general, which made them think I was some kind of challenge. I ended up ghosting them because they would often joke to me about getting me drunk to 'open me up' and crap. The professor of that course also professed to be an ally, but when I went to her and told her I would need a little extra instruction about taking care of men in our nursing home (I've never seen a penis and didn't know how to help little old men clean themselves, sue me), she got really weirded out and never actually helped me.
Sorry for venting, I just find it so hard to make friends and there's like nowhere else on the web I can rant about this kind of thing.
No. 299558
>>299467AYRT, I personally am a bar or club person, but I don't actually like going because I get hit on by men and the attractive women are with their boyfriend, and it makes me feel like crap. There's a gay bar in a neighboring state I considered going to, and I might in the spring or next summer, but my biggest fear is it'll be full of 21-year-olds, and I'll get hit on by those alongside men (since it was rebranded to be "queer" instead of just lesbian).
Honestly, where I live, looking for hookups as a lesbian is harder too. I've been demonized by friends and other lesbians, ironically ,because I had a phase where I figured I don't want to date because I have never been in love and just want to have sex, but when I tried to put myself out there as someone who wanted that, I only got messaged by men who wanted a threesome with their bi girlfriend. So I decided I don't want that anyway, and even if that was an option I don't think I actually would since I have PTSD anyway and it might be a self-harm impulse.
The women I matched with who had cold feet didn't respond at all after a while. I get really sick of how even grown adults have internalized the "useless lesbian who is scared to talk to women" Tumblr stereotype when they're pushing 30. It's not cute anymore. I get it to a degree since I grew up Christian and a lot of family members of mine are vocally Republican, so that combined with the trans nonsense has left a lot of internalized homophobia in me, but one of the hardest lessons I learned when I came out after lockdown was if I wanted someone, I need to break out of this shell.

>>299547When I came out in my workplace a lot of them accepted my sexuality but then they would say off handed comments and tell me that I wasn't really a lesbian. It made me feel very sad so now I keep it to myself. Vent away in this thread! I mostly have straight friends and I have to always pick selectively on who I speak to about my own love issues.
>>299558Today while I was walking someone spray painted queer power and it made me laugh lol. I once went to a very beautiful lounge and I enjoyed dressing up but it was very obvious it was a 'classy' place to talk. The place was so nice to take pictures in.
Yeah, I think that it's best to not even touch that. That's one of the reasons why I'm very very selective on partners. I know I wouldn't mentally be ok with doing something with someone I wouldn't care for, and less a man. I sincerely hope your ptsd is manageable and I wish you good health.
For myself, when I first fell in love I directly told the other woman. The other woman did follow that 'useless lesbian' and I always had to guess what she wanted even though I asked her directly. To this day I'm sure my love for her was unrequited… that's interesting about your background. It must be hard, I come from a family culture that is very catholic and in my family's country is super traditional and being a lesbian is actually seen as ' being a man in a woman's body lol. Rural village people.

God, I am so damn tired. I didn't even want to jump to conclusions at first, but the writing was so on the wall even other people thought she liked me. I'm not mad, just sad because I feel played. I'm going to take her word that's she's straight, but her actions say otherwise. I may sound like a moid saying this, but a part of me wants to just distance myself or tell her to cut out all the touchy-feely because it's sending some mixed ass signals. What do yall think?
No. 299703
>>299616Being GNC isn't an exclusively same-sex attracted trait and given how touchy-feely this girl is, I'd say she's straight. Think about it: would you be that physical with a female friend? Most lesbians I know are quite touch averse out of fear of being labelled predatory, and that goes double for GNC women and butches. At most she
might be a little curious simply due to the fact that she's been assumed to be a lesbian her whole life. I imagine that might fuck with your head a little bit, especially if she's college aged as those can be emotionally turbulent years anyway. Just politely tell her that you're not comfortable with that level of affection due to your sexuality; that you feel like you're being toyed with. It's not moid like at all to request that, you're only human and when a girl you like is being overly physical with you while insisting she's straight it naturally screws you up a little. I've been there myself, it hurts. Straight women can be so incredibly affectionate and it's wonderful in the right situation, but if it's not right for you and is coming across as flirtatious then tell her. In all honesty, she might respond to you in a homophobic manner. I've also had that happen to me because they've taken it to mean that I'm a perv and getting turned on by it. It hurts like hell but at the end of the day it's for the best that you clear the air. And if she is curious then she has to know that you're not her plaything. She needs to shit or get off the pot, to put it rather plainly. Best of luck, nona.

someone? Ofc I don't know you (or the other anons echoing the sentiments) so apologies if this is baseless but I feel like it could be that you're focusing on whether rejection proves your worth vs it being about
you finding
love. When you're on a date you're simply testing the waters and looking for a spark, it's nothing deeper than that. If you were really invested in these first dates and the rejection hurt you that much, I feel like there is something else going on with you. And if you weren't that invested but are hurt by the rejection itself, then that's also not a great thing. There might be things to look at that will both make you a better partner to a future gf but also to yourself.
Just my two cents, as a 30something lesbian who spent a good chunk of time dating around to find my current gf who suits me so well.

I actually started coping with waifu stuff when I was forcibly outed in high school (and something else really bad) and I wanted some kind of outlet for my budding feelings, but it's akin to smoking for me, lmao. I've always been a lonely person and introverted, so the times in my life where I tried to focus on my "waifu of the moment", it was a stagnation cycle to not challenge myself socially.
Before fandom was overtaken by gender nonsense I had friends in some of mine who would say they're asexual IRL and only interested in fiction, and as much as I envy that, reading stories and shipping myself with characters was a coping mechanism, not what I really wanted.
It would be nice if I could find somewhere to casually talk about my crushes though. I actually got a new character crush earlier this year and while it's like a bandaid since my last few real person crushes weren't interested, it's still an outlet. I always feel embarrassed and like a loser to talk to my friends about it, when half of them can find dates, but I worry if I go on here it'll deanon me, or on other sites I'll be mistaken as a scrote.

>>300363I'm still not fully over mine but first, train yourself to stop feeding your homophobic thoughts. Literally just take your mind off that track by doing something else that takes up a lot of your attention, whether its blasting music, working out, etc.
Then after you can reliably stop the thought process, start analyzing the homophobia horse to death. Takes a while to pay off. Is the main root source of it religious? Family anxiety? Etc? Dissect it to see why the cause say homosexuality is bad, and explain to yourself why the cause (or at least, that specific part of it) is total horseshit. If it gets too much then just stop and move on to something else.
e.g source: family anxiety
-> my parents are homophobic and would see my homosexuality as spiteful post-teenage rebelliom. They might threaten me and retract all support (basic needs, emotional, financial, etc) to try to "steer me to the right path." They might beat me or make me cry for me being a lesbian. Part of it might be them lashing out in their worry that I'm "choosing" the hard way in life, because they ultimately just want me to be safe and successful.
-> My parents being raised to be deeply misguided about what I am is not my fault, and I can't live to suffer to make them happy. Their current imagined ideal future for me is one where I'm at least in a loveless marriage and financially tied up with a man, which always poses a risk of some sort of abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, verbal, financial, etc). It's unfair and unreasonable that they would take out their anger and worry on me, but the fault is not mine for coming out. I not only deserve happiness, but am/will work towards a future where I will be happy. For my personal safety, I might hold off on coming out (if I decide to) until I'm independent and have my own crash mat and savings if things go nuclear. But I'm a lesbian and that is a morally neutral fact. [insert happy lesbian daydreams here]

>>300363It's like I have this voice in my head telling me I'm disgusting. Every time I see a cute girl on the street and feel attracted, I'm instantly reminded that she would be grossed out by me checking her out and even the worst most lecherous and aloof moid would be more appealing to her than my gay ass. That's pretty much how I cope, I'm just memeing myself into accepting that I will die alone and wouldn't deserve love anyway so I don't even try.
Another form of internalized homophobia that I have is that I'm a gold star lesbian and never have had sex with a man or even tried, so all the "maybe you just don't know what you're missing out on" talk has gotten to me. What if they're right? What if I'm just a misguided straight woman who confuses her intense feelings of attraction to women as love instead of some other form of admiration? Maybe I should just "find the right dick" to fix me? Even though I've never been attracted to men and trying to feels like mixing oil with water? I'm a butch and I've been told all my life to grow out of it, to learn how to be a proper woman or just transition, maybe I'm just one of those embarrassing Aidens who got stuck in their tomboy yaoi phase? All these thoughts despite me loving women so much, being turned on by them exclusively? I daydream about having a lovely wife I could spend the rest of my life with, the only thing I feel for men is pure jealousy of what they have to remain in the romantic proximity of women.
I'm rambling here but I have trouble collecting my thoughts, it feels like my head is just full of static and I can't make sense of anything. I love and hate being gay at the same time.

I just want to tell you that you're worthy of love and I truly hope you find it someday. If not from another woman, from yourself.
Also, i threw away my gold star out of curiosity and although the experience wasn't great I don't regret it for a second. My experience with men only showed me just how gay I really am. I don't think everyone needs to experiment like I did but if you ever do there's nothing wrong with it, life is short, and nobody really cares about gold stars. Dick doesn't "fix" anything

It's like the 4th girl in a row that cancels our date because she had a sudden epiphany/visit from her ex. How's it that it's so hard to find someone without emotional/psychological baggage or exes they're still into? I've been trying to date slightly older women, but I'm not seeing any more maturity than I would when I was younger and dating early 20s girls. It's so weird. Do lesbians legitimately become undateable once they had a long term relationship?

No. 300762
>>300743Kek I agree but I'm also modest/ was raised in religion so it could be that too. Definitely, bihet dog whistle, when I was in the spicy straight thread one
nonnie kept saying "lick a pussy" and "just eat a pussy or shut up" over and over and after a while it was like what? Is this a dude? I think we were kind of brought up to tiptoe on the line of appreciating women sexually/ being a predator pervert. Sucks that polilez/society have also kind of shunted lesbians for owning our sexuality too… Or taken it from us and made it dirty/for men's eyes. It's very complicated when it's shouldn't be. BUT I do think bisexual/straight women don't understand this and do love to act like the predators/pervert for kicks.
Maybe it's just me and how I express my sexuality but when I was looking at "hot butch/tomboy pictures" compilations it was mostly looking at it like I can't wait to have a partner like this or happy that there are other lesbians out there living their life. And the blue moon that I looked up porn I wasn't watching it to get off mostly just a way to visualize what I would like to do with a partner in the future. When one of the women was caressing the other one's head lovingly while she was getting eaten out I actually started crying kek. I want a caring partner like that in the future! But I understand this can also be being a woman too and how we need a story to get off not just a picture of a naked women? Unless there are lesbians that can get off with random pictures of women?
I don't know how to word this correctly but I've always thought that there's a kind of mental illness faux bisexuality. I know that sounds really fucked up to say when being a lesbian was considered a mental illness. But I think bpd-chans and trannys trying bisexuality is only because it's a new taboo/extreme that they can get off too/feel something. Like Mylie Cyrus's rebellion phase. Same with how pornsick men and women have become and women adopting the male gaze and viewing women as objects and talking like men in how they see women.
No. 300786
>>300778To be honest, I think they're either extremely closed minded or they are the type of "wlw" that aren't actually lesbians.
In either case, what you draw does not in the slightest dictate your lesbianism or anything else. If you want to draw male characters or DBZ guys or nothing but digimon you should do that. If people stopped talking to you over that, the problem is not with you. No one should control your art or behavior and no one should call your lesbianism of all things, into question because of what you draw.
I mostly have and draw male characters and I'm a lesbian, have never been anything else and would never be. The only males I like are my characters.
Don't let others stop you. It's not fair to you.
No. 300803
>>300794It's "bad" in that there is a spectrum of sensations you're abstaining from. Whether those sensations are important is entirely up to you. I do think that you can slowly explore receiving if you let go of the requirement of climax. There is absolutely no such requirement, you can just enjoy closeness while receiving and use that as a little break for when your arm/tongue gets tired from giving. One of the most fun parts of being "verse" is that you can keep taking turns and have sex for an ungodly amount of time but it's just really relaxing and hot. My gf was one of those "only likes to give, takes too long to orgasm" types (not butch either) and it took us a while to figure her out but the first thing we did was to stop putting pressure on her and just taking turns enjoying ourselves. We're now at a point where she cums way faster than me and I know how to eat her just right. It's not just my individual skill improving though, she also learned to let go. Especially if you have religious baggage, there will be a ton of trust in your partner as well as internal work to do but you can do it. I've touched on this topic before in one of the older threads but thinking of your sex life as
all intimate touch and even glances rather than fucking in bed can do wonders. Your sexual satisfaction encompasses your whole connection with your woman, not just when you're inside each other. Sensuality is a very vast world.
That being said having my gf
thrash and melt in my mouth and praise me after VS her stiffly shriveling away saying "I'm taking too long" has filled me with pride. It's a wonderful experience, coming out of my shell and helping her come out of hers. Just for each other, we're vulnerable.

>>300778I'm an artfag who only draws female characters and I honestly avoid following anyone who draws men. I just find them ugly as fuck to look at, I wouldn't question anyone's sexuality over it (unless she draws literal porn) but I simply do not want to see that shit in my spare time. I draw both sexes professionally as my industry would never let me only draw GNC women like I want kek.

Your partner needs to be mature as well, she needs to learn that sex is a form of communication and not the fucking olympics. I posted about people pursuing dates to prove their worth upthread, this is like that. You don't have sex to prove your prowess, it's to truly know someone, to become one entity for just a little while.

>>300805NTAYRT and I don't want to derail, but I've always found it so interesting (and by that, I mean fucking annoying) how lesbians are expected to separate even FICTIONAL men from our lives. I'll never in my life touch or look at a man romantically or sexually and even the idea makes me feel sick, but I can draw male characters and feel just fine about it because… they aren't real. I feel like people, in their quest to politicize everything related to women, forget that lesbianism is in its most basic form characterized by exclusive same sex attraction, nothing more, nothing less. I could draw a million male characters and it would never change the fact that I'm only into pussy.

Original artfag anon here and thank you so much nonnas… I feel a lot better about just drawing whatever I want now.

>>300968AYRT, I know how you feel. Though I wasn't the anon the suicide-baiter responded to, as a married woman I've often felt like I shouldn't share my happiness in here because no one cares and people just want to vent about being alone. I just know that had that anon said that in response to something I posted, I'd actually feel a bit hurt by it. I did start out politely, try a "with all due respect you're being overdramatic" approach, but I just thought… "nah, be honest". I was half expecting a ban for saying "then rope" kek. When I was single though, I found hearing about happy couples helped keep me optimistic. Moping about being "forever alone" obliterates your confidence and is just a shitty way to live in general. We need to be kinder to ourselves and remember that lesbian joy is real and achievable. I'm not saying never vent about loneliness and isolation, in fact it's important to get that out of your system, but there's gotta be a balance in life, y'know? I've been a blackpilled loner and the bitterness affected my physical health and my relationships with friends and family. It's just not worth it. Even if you'll be single for the rest of your life - why waste it being bitter?
No. 301005
>>300800>>300974Based response, honestly. This is coming from someone who is lonely and gets depressed over seeing relationship stuff, but I also have the decency to ignore it. AND I actually really hate seeing blackpilled moping over single-ness too. I had friends who do it constantly and it's insufferable to deal with. It's like no wonder you're single, you make no effort to present yourself better (and suggestions to get better are shut down with "But-") and revolve your self worth over a relationship. I understand wanting companionship is near-universal but it's also messed up how (many, not all) women of all sexualities see a relationship as an end goal or meaning of life. Something I had to learn as someone with little dating opportunities is to enjoy my life and find worth in myself, by myself.
Sorry for the mini rant. I do wish some kind of private space for advice on where to find healthy connections for lesbians existed, I personally get cagey talking about personal stuff or asking advice out of paranoia of being deanoned. I used to idealize moving away and moving to a big, liberal city in a blue state, but reading lesbian groups show that both conservative and liberal areas have their problems with existing as a lesbian in them. I wish there were places I could securely talk about that. And even if I personally avoid romantic gushing (I'm the
nonnie with a crush on a taken lesbian and I have to bury away the resentment), I do want to know about how they met to "take notes."
No. 301018
>>301005>advice on how to find healthy connectionsWell, you have to be a healthy person to make healthy connections. That's really the core of it. Unhealthy people don't make good choices in partners and don't offer great things for their partners. The "where" part isn't so important though it's still better odds at a city; it's a numbers game and the numbers are in cities. Big cities in the West tend to lean left. The tranny/queer menace is not quite overblown but it's still better odds of finding a gf who isn't crazy in a city due to the sheer amount of us that converge in them. The lesbian groups are full of doomers and blackpilled lesbians who grew up rural that think being asked pronouns is the worst thing that can happen to a person. They're ignoring the sheer amount of lesbians they could meet just because their lives revolve around paranoia about queerios. In my opinion anyway, I don't see how a dating pool of like 100 people at most is supposed to be better than the literal thousands of women in a city that you could be dating.
I'm a bit tired so this is kinda rambly, hope that made a modicum of sense.

I've mentioned it before in this thread and got miserable replies about how as a married woman I shouldn't say that to single people; as if I was born with a ring on my finger and haven't spent many years alone and fighting isolation.

>>301058AYRT. Exactly, and that's why I distance myself from annoying femcel related attitudes. Like I said, it's like
all women assign our worth to relationships. I do think it's a natural want, but the fact I see even lesbians think that another person is the only thing that will bring light or meaning to our life is so fucked up. It's a
toxic mindset I internalized too and I even planned on killing myself if I was "still single" by the age I am, but I haven't. But the fact I've had other friends say they would do the same thing fucks me up. I really wish resources for thriving without relationships existed for their sakes so they can grow the fuck up.

>>301368I had a FWB situation with a "trans man" when she was in the process of a detransitioning. It was ok because I'm in to hyper masc women and we had a good friendship where we shared terven values, but I don't think I could sustain a true relationship with any sort of gendie. Hearing people call her "him" when we were sleeping together was surreal, and as a butch my proximity to her increased my thoughts of transitioning myself. Even though she was detransitioning she still passed most of the time and I saw that respect she got as a "male" and envied her for it. I hated being seen as a failed woman, an ungodly creature far too muscular and masculine to be respected as a female in any capacity. It was a total mindfuck. After ghosting that friend circle and finding friends in women like me I slowly learned to accept myself again. I think any lesbian - butch, femme, whatever - dating a gendie would face similar problems as we're the least cool letter in the alphabet soup. We're the dragons of the community, the inflexible who refuse to call ourselves "queer", the ones most suspected to be TERFs. Dating a gendie would be like slow poisoning yourself.

The idea of coming out to my family again as 'straight' and introducing a female as my 'he/him boyfriend' makes me cringe.

I had a gender phase that 100% stemmed from internalized lesbophobia and PTSD from abuse that made me want to be anything except a woman (I'm not butch, I was closer to those "agendered" types), and it would
trigger me to be with someone in the same headspace I was in from that time. It's like how I wouldn't date someone deeply religious. I have friends who are of the "normie/centrist" opinion that "trans is
valid, and I'll use their names and call them whatever, but they're not the same as someone actually born a man/woman" which I'd be fine with (this was my opinion before I peaked and most of them haven't peaked).

I know it's probably unfathomable to a lot of anons ITT, but I personally really don't mind. She's a manhater and agrees with a lot of my feminist views, and I'm open about being a
TERF around her, so it's not like I'm hiding anything from her (which in that case, I'd never have chosen to be with her). I feel like dating or being friends with gendies is all a YMMV type of deal though, and I have a thing for TIFs so I'm heavily biased.

abusive textbook BPD-chan that left me traumatized and with emotional baggage that I still haven't unpacked and that has left me to be a volcel because I'm haunted by everything she said and did and never want to make myself emotionally vulnerable again. I know others who have had similar experiences too, but in the end it's because a lot of us gay women don't get the privilege of growing up in a safe and nurturing environment.

>>301584You're definitely right. In the past I've acted quite callously towards my partners for showing me affection in public because I've learnt the hard way that makes you a target for psycho moids. It's still no excuse for my actions though. That self-defence mechanism was deeply hurtful to the women I did that to. As a middle easterner I think it goes double for racial minorities that you
will be marked by bigotry as our cultures are usually more violently homophobic (and misogynistic ofc). I don't believe any lesbian, regardless of background, grows up without the mark of homophobia - and often misogyny because of the "failed woman" mindset - changing them forever. Again I think it's something that isn't touched upon enough. We acknowledge the bigotry, sure. But not the responses it can evoke in us.

>>301587>It seems like a dirty secret because while it's not as rampant as the far right wants people to believe, it makes it hard to talk about or seek support for.Exactly. They'll make you feel like
you're the problem for bringing it up or tell you that hey! at least it's rare! It feels like being told to suck it up and suffer in silence. The "they did that because of society" excuse hurts the most though. The fact that anyone wants to defend these people feels like a betrayal of the worst kind when these women are telling you that they're your allies.
>>301588I know how you feel. Even before I realised I was gay I was under scrutiny for being GNC, I think for a lot of us, especially butches, that's where the damage starts. Even as a toddler I understood that I was being othered and something about me was inherently different. It's very hard to heal and grow, I know how you feel. Most people will say therapy but that made me worse. I got diagnosed with gender dysphoria after a long talk about the prejudice I faced for being butch and a lesbian. It sickens me that their "cure" for that was for me to troon out. Even now that I'm married I'm still not over all those experiences, and I don't think I ever will be. I think being a lesbian is a constant battle with society and yourself. Sometimes our own minds are the hardest to argue with. It's so easy to slip into the "maybe I really
am a failed woman" mindset. It's also easy to turn to substance abuse to cope. Like I mentioned in an above post, I work with addiction charities. Gay people have a high rate of alcoholism and drug abuse. We get told as soon as we hit 18 (sometimes younger) "go to gay bars! you'll find acceptance there!" and that sets the roots of alcoholism for a lot of us. I could rant for weeks about how pride is now so corporatised it's just another excuse to sell us booze but I'll hold back. It's just… so frustrating. I still wish some days I was born a man so I could love women and dress masc without being a freak. I'm nearly 32 and still thinking about that same damn wish, I hate it. I hope you do heal and learn to cope though, nona. Never let anyone make you feel like you can't bring your abuse up. We owe it to ourselves to be honest and to vent the emotions building up inside of us. Be kind to yourself, I know it's hard, but try. ♥
No. 301592
>>301591One of my earliest memories is when as a kid I had to disguise myself as a boy just to be able to play with boys and do "boy things" and above all feel better about being attracted to girls. I "knew" I was a lesbian since childhood but denied it because in my environment it wasn't even an option. I don't think I'll ever be able to repair the damage all of this caused me.
>We get told as soon as we hit 18 (sometimes younger) "go to gay bars! you'll find acceptance there!" and that sets the roots of alcoholism for a lot of us.For real. I thankfully dodged this bullet even though I was slipping into very unhealthy drinking habits, but ultimately having known people who died of drugs and alcoholism it kept me away from the partying scene, however getting wasted was (and is) the only way I could feel comfortable with flirting with other women or being more open about what I am. But even to this day (I'm your age btw) I still see people dealing with the aftermath of this path they were pushed to.
>I still wish some days I was born a man so I could love women and dress masc without being a freak.Yeah, I deal with the fallout of gender dysphoria every single day of my life. I feel comfortable and confident dressing up in male clothes, get tons of compliments for pulling the look off but then I look myself in the mirror and the doubt sets in. Are they complimenting me just to be nice? Are they looking for some ally brownie points? Does everyone think I look like a cringy dyke who can never be a
real man? And lo and behold, I'm spiraling again.
>Be kind to yourself, I know it's hard, but try. ♥Thanks. It's really hard because I loathe every inch about myself but I'm hoping to be able to be more accepting of myself in the future.

any advice on getting physical with another girl? I’ve been hanging out (re:making out) with this other lesbian I met on a dating app and I have a feeling we’re gonna start getting more intimate.

porn is not indicative of sexuality. my best friend is a gay man and used to watch lesbian porn, he is not a lesbian lol. i thought i was straight or bi because i used to watch straight porn even though i only liked pov stuff and imagining myself as the man.
No. 301703
>>301672Yeah, ethical issues with porn aside, looking at something is way different than doing it and enjoying it. Porn is literally just visual stimulation to turn your brain off to and come. I've had former friends who were so deep into watching porn they got bored of normal stuff and would watch and masturbate to anything as a challenge. I knew a gay guy who watched straight and lesbian porn but wouldn't be caught dead sleeping with a woman, and a straight guy who watched trans/femboy stuff because it was new and different. Not to mention it's apparently a trope of straight women watching some lesbian porn because the actors look like they're enjoying themselves more.
I would consider a woman who is attracted to men, and masturbates to lesbian porn, but has no interest in dating a woman to just be a pornsick straight, not bisexual and absolutely not gay.
I always thought porn was gross, but when I was younger I thought I was "kinkier" than I really was because I thought fanfiction with relationship dynamics like D/s or bondage was more interesting to read than "vanilla" sex, but in reality I wouldn't do any of that stuff.

>>301648Yeah I live in a big city yet most lesbians my age are the kind of "good wine and traveling" NPC normies or sports/gym enthusiasts and the bisexuals are polyamorous kinksters, while I'm a weeb butch who likes nerdy things. Every time I meet a girl I really click with it turns out she's straight, it's no wonder so many lesbians that I know have dated the same woman since they were 16, it's not like the dating pool offers a lot of options.
>>301756I hate it. My ex was extremely possessive and clingy to the point she threw a suicide baiting tantrum if I met other people and forced me to make up for it one way or another. After she got on meds that stopped the worst of it she still relied on only me for all her life's needs and refused to make other friends so I had to practically be her substitute mommy. It's not at all flattering, it's stressful and soul sucking. Especially for me as a person who needs her personal space and doesn't like excessive cuddling or flattery that much, it gets way too overwhelming.

>>301756Clinginess has gotta be up there in the top 5 things I avoid in a partner. I'm autistic and
need my alone time to decompress. When I had a gf who would not allow me to have that time my mental health plummeted and I became a lot more irritable and quick to anger. It just breeds animosity as I resent having that alone time took off me. I know some people will say clinginess comes from a good place, but it's just not healthy IMO. I especially hate when it comes from jealousy, if I'm not trusted to be faithful then I'm gone. Life's too short to be interrogated every time you hang out with a female friend.

>>301790I don't live in a big city, but a lot of local lesbians are NPC-like too.

I know some people can't help being "stereotypical", but I grew up with LG role models who asserted that sexuality is only one part of you, yet the rest of my generation all act the same.
>>301756Extreme turn off. Even the purely platonic friendships I had with clingy people have ended badly or messed me up. I know it's sometimes a trauma/neglect response, but my trauma made me more quiet and hands-off (I don't like being alone, but I don't like burdening people either), so it's not a compatibility.

I've never been an addict, I just don't like the taste and it doesn't lower my inhibitions. It just makes me want to clean stuff. As if that's not being a party pooper kek. Alcohol is pretty expensive for doing so little for me. Meanwhile I can legally grow weed or shrooms for my own consumption in my home from time-to-time. Way more affordable in this economy (just don't try to grow weed in winter kek). It's not like I'm sober sober or can't be around alcohol.
>>301970>dating apps are great for mascs since there is a female-identifying masc shortage kekNot in my area. Even with a masc shortage, I think most women on dating apps here wish the few left would fuck off too, since 'lesbian' is generally seen as being attracted to femininity. Many see butches as conservative and regressive, something from a by-gone era to larp as straights. I've talked about this to butches who emigrated to here and they said it was particularly bad here, but none of them are butch4butch either so I can't shoot my shot kek. I'm unironically thinking of moving, because I think I'm just playing on hardmode. Liberal feminism has gone too far. It honestly wouldn't even surprise me if lesbians of my gen who are attracted to butches would start calling themselves bi here, because of how they changed the definitions (from female homosexuality to being attracted to femininity) and gaslit everyone about it.

dating apps copy each other all the time, if i had any knowledge on app development i'd genuinely want to make smth like lex but improved. aside from the userbase the app is also very glitchy and just poorly designed imo. if there was something like a typical social media site but catered towards lgbt people it'd be really cool. would probably turn into a cesspit immediately. but i'd still love for it to exist. sort of like how linkedin is just facebook for business and networking, i want facebook but for fags wanting to connect, date, and build community.

I dunno, apps are currently my only way to figure out who is available, when most of the women I know IRL are straight and the ones who aren't are taken.

I love how she’s shorter than me and I can kiss her on the top of her head. I love that’s she’s masc but ok with being a woman. She’s somewhat libfem but not into politics so it’s never been a problem for us. We play Overwatch together and I pocket Mercy her while she plays McCree. I never thought I’d find a girl with the same interests as me and who is also so lovely and chill.

I feel like Germany is better for masc lesbians than the Netherlands, but also generally better for young gnc women, since it seems to be more normal there with young people too.

I realized I was a lesbian at a young age and came out of the closet at 16, which was a long time ago for me, and I still haven't found a girlfriend even with apps. A lot of spaces where I am are full of "queer" younger women in my experience, and I'm not attracted to women outside my age group. I'd prefer to date someone that's also late 20s-early 30s and inexperienced because a lot of women around that age that I've talked to who grew up liberal and have exes/aren't a virgin have a borderline superiority complex about it.

I've been using apps for a few years (I came again to new company during lockdown) because it's my main way to figure out who is around my age and available (I got tired of developing crushes on straight women). It's pretty difficult since I don't click with anyone at all and everyone is either super liberal and signals about transrights, or super conservative and want to marry and adopt kids ASAP, because god forbid a 30+ year old woman want to do anything else? (No, I'm not saying lesbians who want that are "right wing", but I've seen "traditional gender roles only" and "no leftists" in one too many bios lmao)
Not to mention on the "queer" apps (I used them once, never again) 80% of my likes are from women and men/TIMs a decade younger and older. I got messaged by a 19-year-old who wanted to hook up last week. WTF?

An extreme liberal might consider you an "egg" but the people who will react positively to a "no libz allowed" statement probably would as well, just for different reasons.
"I don't want my sexuality to be who I am" is a
valid thought and I know it's directed at the "kweers" who only talk about how gay and trans they are and how white people must die but there's a big middle ground between extremes and the only people who will be accepting of you have liberal and leftist leaning ideals. It's already been discussed upthread but if you think "conservatives" are more accepting and supportive of what you are then guess what, they're not conservatives.

I simply don't want righties
or lefties; but I don't have to say "no righties" because they avoid me like the plague anyway. I understand the term "liberal" traditionally denotes leaning slightly left, but like I said, I've seldom met a self-identified liberal who wasn't swinging towards hard leftism.

it's so difficult to date as a lesbian. The dating pool is minuscule and there are so many weirdos. I had to drop my basic standards and ignore red flags to have sex and be in my first (and only) relationship. Should have just left it at a terrible one night stand kek.
I made her cum, despite my zero experience, but she was clumsy and didn't make me even get close to orgasm, even though she's had many sexual partners.At this point, I've come to terms with being alone forever. Being alone is way better than being in a shitty relationship in my experience

We don't have the same opportunities as straight women do to date in high school and marry our sweethearts at 18 (and I never met a straight woman with that experience). I'm the anon who came out as a teenager and never had a girlfriend, but I know lesbians who came out later or are older and have the same problem. I think we all internalized the straight people standards that "you need to lose your virginity by 18 and married by 30" or whatever, so no one talks about it. I'm inexperienced and would prefer someone who isn't, or they are but won't look down on me for it. But the lesbians who were rude to me about it were younger and came from liberal areas where they could be out and date, and I wouldn't date a Gen-Z anyway, why should I care? I just wish it was easy to meet women this age, because the ones I know are adverse to going out and being social.
No. 302733
>>302695Yes, but personally I think it comes from childhood trauma and the rejection from her being proof that I'm an unlovable person. I used to look to relationships to rewrite the relationships and love I didn't have in childhood. I don't ruminate anymore unless I'm severely depressed and look back at all the mistakes I've made.
Chin up anon if it was meant to be it will be if not move on and memories shitty so how do you know you would even like the person she is now or what type of person she is in relationships.

Will living with my parents at 25 fuck with my dating prospects? I have a car/job/money. When I had my own spaces (19-20 and 23-24) I was too occupied with school or work to pursue any women. I can't keep putting off relationships but now I feel like an idiot for not taking advantage of having my own place back then.
No. 302859
>>302836NTA but iIf you're ready to date then you
should be ready to stand your ground against your family. I have violent homophobes in my family but once I was moved out I stopped denying the rumours because I'm not wasting my life hiding who I truly am. Yes, it's different if they live at home because it's a matter of safety. But it's still very hard emotionally to date someone in a situation like that. It's like you're being dragged back in the closet alongside them.
No. 302877
>>302836I don't mind if her family is shitty and she's low/no contact with them, family of origin isn't her fault and I'd never judge a woman for having homophobic parents. But I wouldn't put myself in a situation where I need to lie or pretend to be her platonic friend, I'm way too old for sneaking around. I'm looking for a woman to eventually settle down with and I can't move in with someone who wants us to pay extra for a two bedroom apartment so that we can pretend to be roommates when her family visits (an actual request a closeted ex had).
Realistically, you eventually need to cut them out or come out. In a western country at least, obv it's different if you're both forced to be closeted in general.
No. 302918
>>302852I don't like to nitpick wording, but I think "I don't want this in a relationship" =/= red flag. Calling being closeted a "red flag" implies it's some chosen negative trait (like someone who ghosts a lot) and not a survival mechanism, but it's perfectly fine to not want to date someone who isn't out.
I'm not open to everyone, but I have a tolerant family. I figured I would only officially come out if I was ever in a relationship, which I haven't been. I also would be uncomfortable having to hide a relationship with someone's unsupportive family, but I'd still give it a shot since pickings are slim, but it isn't ideal.
No. 302931
>>302771>My only issue is if a woman was still in the closet or lived with unaccepting family.AYRT, fair.
Is being closeted an issue to most lesbians 20-30? I only really talk to my gay friends I grew up with and we're all mostly closeted but their gay men/trans, I guess different rules.

No. 302944
>>302931AYRT. I'm in the 20-30 range and honestly, I don't know if being closeted is still an issue post teen years in the west. My family is tolerant (they're ignorant in the liberal way but don't have hateful intent like the conservative side that I cut out), and I've only come out to close friends who I know are safe, I've never been a loud and proud person anyway. I would attempt to make things work I did find someone who lived with unaccepting family, but I know it would be a big roadbump. But I figure if worse comes to worst, we could combine expenses and move out together. Most people where I live who don't live with their parents are with multiple roommates or partners in some cheap apartment.
>>302933I honestly don't think polyamory works unless everything is just non-committed FWB or the rare 0.1% where every person involved is equally attracted to each other, which I have never seen. It's always "this is my partner, this is my friend that I sleep with that my partner tolerates, and that's the friend my partner sleeps with that I have no interest in" or whatever.
No. 302950
>>302947Yeah, I'm 30 too, and it frustrates me how Gen-Zs take some of this for granted. I was surrounded by the old school right wing/Christian homophobia, and while I find the "woke" kind worse from within "the community" more hurtful, I was literally targeted at school for being
suspected as gay. I grew up thinking I would go to hell and cried at night over it. I know some younger people go through this too, but I've seen some liberal area Gen-Zs look at gay history from the 80s-90s as an outsider and think it was somehow better because there were less troons/genderspecials. It really wasn't. It's a different kind of hell.

No. 302988
>>302947God, this. I'm 30+ too, when I was growing up being a lesbian meant basically being a perverted rapist who wants to look like a man. At some point girls started identifying as "bi" but everyone knew it was just a performance inspired by malegaze lesbian porn, you weren't supposed to take it seriously and if you actually caught feelings you were immediately ostracized and subjected to homophobic abuse. It wasn't until my 20's when people, at least where I live, started becoming primitively tolerant of gay people and not until very recent years that acceptance and understanding started coming about, I identified as "asexual" for years simply because of the paralyzing stigma and fear of accepting what I am. I'm happy for all the gen z lesbians who got to grow up in a more stable environment but them taking it for granted pisses me off. It's not easy to shake off decades of homophobia instilled upon you during your formative years, especially with homophobic family members around,
especially with everyone touting the "now
everyone's just gay to be special!" meme these days, so them rolling their eyes and saying "ugh, what's the big deal, just get a girlfriend" is some actual low empathy behaviour.

>>302988 but this. I hate how it's being framed as "internalized homophobia" and something you should be beating yourself over for when it's literally a survival mechanism we had to learn growing up. I learned that if I showed any signs of traits associated with same sex attraction I would be punished for it and my social reputation would be ruined, so even now with my very liberal friend circle I can barely call a girl pretty without being struck with fear of being seen as a predator. I mentioned the phase of girls identifying as "bi", and that really fucked me up - it was like they were laying a bait and when I took it, they went "holy shit I'm not a fucking DYKE". It's just not something you snap your fingers and are done and over with, it takes years of deprogramming and conditioning to unlearn it.

>>303293Eh, some people genuinely like it so it's really not my business to judge. It's not like in a straight relationship where the pornsick moid pressures the woman into anal because he likes the sexual domination and the woman complies out of her sense of duty, with lesbian relationships I can trust that there's actual consent since a real dick isn't involved. I wouldn't try it for the hassle it involves alone (cleaning out your rectum with an enema etc) or the possible health complications, even most gay men don't actually do anal because it's a pain in the ass (pun not intended) to prepare and involves a lot of risks.

The 'mom' 'husband' or 'mother' girls who I played with shared the same characteristics as you. They all were gnc,either beat up the boys or were super close with them or shared the same hobbies and they all protected me.
There was a girl who always wore the same FIA chunky sneakers she was my favorite. Shed always bring me a snack to eat and she was Caucasian. Shed always give me what I thought were fancy snacks like brand name hostess cakes. I came from an immigrant family so we didn't have those brands and we didn't know them. I gave her mexican chocolate and cookies in exchange. But she was so caring and defended me, in lunch time she'd always want to sit next to me and shed get jealouse if I gave bracelets to other girls. Her parents didn't allow us to play anymore because her parents didn't like her playing with me. We could play in recess in secret but after school we couldn't go to each other's houses.

I do look for other signs of critical thinking though, if someone parrots a specific party line on anything I write them off as a shallow-minded person. Usually that means girls who parrot #thecurrentthing, and as someone strongly gay-leaning that's most of what I have to deal with.

>>303334>>303387until very recently i was super insecure about not liking penetration, the idea of anything inside really disgusts me. i thought it would be a deal breaker in a relationship since it limits the amount of stuff i want being done to me during sex, i wanted to do all the touching for the most part. being a virgin and only really 'out' in online spaces people don't talk about this much ig, so i didn't know it was actually normal and pretty common until recently. maybe it's because i'm very femme and expected to be the 'bottom' too :/
>>303486i find the idea of anal kind of hot lol, but i don't think it is something i'd ever try. it's something that seems like a fun idea but 1) i wouldn't wanna hurt my partner and 2) poop comes from there ew-
No. 303667
I feel like I'm too hypersexual. No, I don't watch porn and never got into it. I'm just too easily aroused and the ideal amount of sex I want is ridiculous. I could barely leave my ex alone, including outside (in isolated places, nobody saw). Yet I usually pretend to be asexual and coy, because I don't want to be like an annoying scrote. I have no idea how to show proper amount of interest or flirt, without coming across as too much or seeming like I have 0 interest. I either do too much, disappoint women who expected more or attract actual self identified asexuals. Before I had self awareness it was a lot easier, so I'm probably just overthinking, but how easily you can get cancelled and online shaming nowadays doesn't help. What if I make a move, they make a TikTok about my tism and go viral? I wish other lesbians (or SSA women in general) sexually harassed me as much as TiMs. Which is such a scroteish thing to say, I know, but please. My brain goes a million miles per hour around women I'm attracted to and I can only make mistakes seemingly.

>>303667Nobody is going to "cancel" you for being flirty, calm down anon. Honestly your thinking is so extreme. Definitely don't pretend to be asexual as that is lying and it will hurt your chances of making good connections with women. Just be upfront about your self-awareness and stick your neck out a bit. Be clear about your libido, you can even ask people to give feedback when they think you're being too forward. Not everyone is willing to help you work on stuff but everyone appreciates being given notice of things. I've got tism too (if you were being literal about that… maybe not kek) and what I've learned over the years is that we suck at autonomously correcting shit. Let people help you, be honest. Again, you are not going to get cancelled virally. You're more likely to get hit by a car etc.

>>303493This. My sexual development is so fucked up because of it. On the other hand I'm just very horny and have a high sex drive by nature, but the constant uwubian and radfem policing is making me paranoid. If I hug a girl, will she gossip to our peers about how I practically tried to rape her? Or if I have an unconventional kink that I like I'm a scrote adjacent who should just "learn to eat pussy" because for some reason that's the only acceptable form of lesbian sex since it also doubles as a political statement?

>>303708I was an early bloomer and got busy pretty early irl, though I did think I'm asexual for a retarded moment because of being repulsed by porn.

I don't necessarily just want to make love, I do actually also want to just fuck too, but I just really want to give a woman pleasure. I daydream too much and get very easily aroused by very small stupid things and it turns me into a bumbling idiot, which wasn't always the case.
When I was still in denial about being a lesbian and just considered it a phase and assumed that one day I would suddenly wake up with OSA (which everyone told me would happen eventually, still hasn't happened), I was way bolder. Like I somehow didn't let the lesbophobia fully apply to me because of it.

But I do feel left out from other lesbians because I'm currently more interested in flirting or flings than full-on dating or relationships. (Before someone tells me to just download an app, the lesbians nearby want something serious only.)
>>303698Yeah, I agree with Radfems on a lot of stuff, but their policing of sex acts between lesbians really messed me up and why I hardly feel safe in lesbian spaces besides sometimes venting in here. Obviously, porn is harmful, and a lot of kinks like pretending to be a kid or violent/racist/illegal things, but they assume everyone that isn't into "normal" lesbian sex must be some pornsick man.

it just bugs me though. i feel like gay male communities are too sexual, and lesbian communities aren't sexual enough. sometimes on dating apps it even feels hard to be the one who starts being flirty/sexual because i feel like a creep. i don't even have a very high sex drive.
>>303708same but also i was on tumblr when i was like, 11, so i was exposed these labels pretty young. it pisses me off so much when i see 13 year olds online identify as ace like you haven't even fully gone through puberty yet that's normal.

Like people talk about visibility privilege, but still the only people who hit on me or approach me at all are still scrotes. Not meaning to say it's actually ok to harass people who aren't into it. Sorry.
>>303771>sometimes on dating apps it even feels hard to be the one who starts being flirty/sexual because i feel like a creep. i don't even have a very high sex drive. Ime I always do too little or too much. Either the mild flirting gets me sorted in the scroteish creep category or I'll randomly be chastised for being boring, not making a move and being blocked. It's very difficult to guess and I don't actually want to make a woman feel bad like how scrotes constantly do. Talking about my fears to a random match also ruins the mood for them and has never gone over well.

>Some of us just like different things or have an active imagination, I fantasized about "freaky" things since middle school before I even touched the internet.Same, I have relatively harmless but unconventional kinks that I get a huge kick out of and they have legitimately existed since childhood and long before I got online. The exact psychology behind paraphilias isn't even known, some of them just happen without interfering trauma or other input and the majority of them aren't dangerous or
abusive but the purity police likes to equate things like light bondage with full on anorectal violence, especially when it comes to lesbians. I similarly agree with a lot of radfem views and reading radical feminist theory helped my self esteem a lot but the communities themselves tend to attract way too many pearl clutching preachy tradfags in disguise. It's been discussed so many times in this thread that they hold a very open resentment towards butches and are ultimately very unsympathetic towards butches turned to FTMs, a lot of them unironically thinking they're equal to creepy AGP MTFs.
No. 303847
>>303794AYRT, sexual abuse is still bad even if it's the sex you're attracted to. Being abused by women still landed me in therapy for years and it made me feel asexual, since seeing female-female affection would
trigger me. I often fantasize about meeting a woman as forward sexually as I am and takes the initiative, that's not the same as the assault/harassment I've gotten, it's just a consensual fantasy tailored to me.
>>303837Yeah, I still consider myself critical of fetishes and I don't think they're all okay or harmless (I've been abused by people who thought "kinkshaming" is on par with racism), but talking to Radfems who would say they feel the same led to being called a pornsick covert-abuser. Not all kink is watching different porn and imitating it, or violent slavery roleplay with whips and full physical restraint. A lot of Radfems write off basic psychology as some scrote field which is why some can't process that even if it's
not inborn like sexuality, some kinks can be harmless and just a part of their sex life. Who cares if someone likes feet or tickling or stuff like that?
Even when I was a kid I would feel funny watching harmless scenes in regular G/PG rated movies or books and it turned sexual when I started puberty. A lot of mine are a coping mechanism for trauma (as in it something that makes me feel safe and comforted, not reliving it all over again), but as much Radfems scream "talk about it in therapy and learn better coping skills", I had multiple therapists tell me that they're glad I found ways to explore and make sexuality not scary to me, despite what I've been through.

If it doesn't appeal to you, you shouldn't push yourself to try it. Even if she doesn't actively watch porn, eroticizing sexual submission is something a lot of women with trauma end up doing, because the it's plastered all over every corner of our cultures, not just porn.

>>304074I'm critical of most kinks, but honestly light bondage isn't nearly on par with slavery roleplay or a lot of hard S&M. As long as it's with someone you trust, who cares if someone wants to be blindfolded to enhance their other senses, or just have a light play scenario like what
>>304091 describes?
But if it makes you uncomfortable, and you want to know why she wants it (since you say you both deal with trauma), you should say so. If someone asked that from me, especially if I knew that she had a traumatic upbringing like I do, I would say no, even if it was just tying someone up. It's really not my thing, even if I get why others like it.

>>304074If you feel uncomfortable about it, you shouldn't do it.
That said, being bondaged and letting someone you trust gently take care of you and caress you can be a relaxing experience, not necessarily a violent one. So ask her about why she wants it and what she expects to get from it.

>>304105>That said, being bondaged and letting someone you trust gently take care of you and caress you can be a relaxing experience, not necessarily a violent one. This, it doesn't have to be some violent dominating setting with whips and chains but letting someone else take control, for a sperg like me it's an appealing thought that I would have someone else take the wheel for a moment so I wouldn't have to be in the depths of my mental chaos all the time. Personally that's the appeal of bondage for myself.
Of course anon shouldn't certainly do it if she feels uncomfortable about it but she should voice her concerns and discuss why her girlfriends wants to do it and why she doesn't so that you're both on the same page at least. Like

I'm angry. I don't know many lesbians in general, so I don't know the inner nuances of a lesbian social circle, but do lesbians just tend to hate other lesbian couples for no reason after just meeting them? Family member has a lesbian friend who makes comments about other family member and her relationship with her girlfriend of 5+ years, saying 'haha they are so fragile and will break up I just know it, one of them will cheat haha, I love reading people I'm such a people reader and your sister and her gf will break up' pretending like she's playing 6d chess and breaking the matrix apart to scry that my family member will lose the strongest love she's had in her life. Like, she isn't even a close family friend, I don't think she should have such a strong opinion about it. Maybe she knows better because she's been in more relationships with women than they have, but it's annoying. Soz for the blogpost but tbh this entire thread seems like a lot of blogposts.

>>304538It depends on where you live, it doesn't hurt to just install a few apps and see who is around. Nearly all dating apps except for Lex (which is a "queer" app that works like Craigslist personals) requite matching with someone to message, so even if half of the people in your area are queerios or TIMs, you won't get "harassed" by them if you don't match with them. I get liked by all kinds of gross people, but I don't swipe them, so I don't get messaged.
My personal issue is quality, though. I get matched with actual women, but they tend to be flaky, not interested in talking, and want the opposite things than I do. I've currently haven't gone on one date despite using these for over a year, but I have friends who found partners from meeting on them. Personally, I wish more people like you were in my area. I don't know why normies match with me when they don't even like any of the interests I list in my bio.

gay ass blog alert
I feel tentative about being who I really feel I am, because I prefer how people treat me when I look feminine.
I tried so hard to be feminine when I was scared of being a homosexual. Before that, I had dudeish body language, clothes, and hair, and was comfortable that way- didn’t think twice. Coming back to it feels like I’m getting my confidence back. I’m no longer pretending to be someone I’m not. I can walk with my head up now and it’s nice. And i can be visible to other homos.
But I am scared to look like a ‘visible dyke’. My family makes fun of women that look that way, and i feel sensitive about other women rejecting me as a sister. I got called a lesbo a lot a few years ago in school, but what hit the hardest was other girls treating me like an outsider, a predator. I like how, whilst I’m feminine looking, and trying to act feminine, other women treat me more like a familiar, strangers trust/want to help me, and i feel accepted by my family. My feminine sister thinks I’m just ‘trying to be different’ when i dress in a way that feels like the real me. My long hair feels like a burden, femininity feels like cross dressing. So it feels conflicting. I don’t know if i should be my true self with confidence, and take the loneliness that comes with it, or continue to pretend to be someone I’m not and be loved.

I was gonna aim to get better at oral but I'm apparently way ahead of the curve on that now…>>304706I'm masc and extremely visible as a dyke, just to preface this. Don't bother feming it up, you already know in your gut that it's wrong for you. Presenting in a way you're uncomfortable in your own skin leads to feeling like you didn't live your life for the duration spent doing that. Live your life. Occupy your body. You will need to work on tuning strangers (and shitty relatives/friends) out but that does get easier the more you do it. The answer is
never to bend out of shape for others. You know it feels wrong already, don't do this to yourself. You owe yourself the dignity of standing firm and true. Love you nona, you are a woman just the same as every other woman even if you look "masculine".
Besides, gender non-conformity for women is mostly just being natural. Feminine trappings are all things women do to their bodies (hair removal, makeup, uncomfortable clothing, positioning hips to sway or sit delicately etc).>>304719For some reason I look better in the puffy stage everyone hates than with a super clean buzzcut.

My confidence is firm and I believe this is one of the most attractive things about me. If you own yourself, that comes across.

Did anyone else's preferences in women make them repressed for longer? I prefer bigger women (like obese) who are shorter than me, as well as other preferences that aren't uncommon, for example. The lesbian media I happened to see was all thin anime girls/cottagecore models making out that "nonbinary lesbians" in my fandom spaces liked. I wasn't attracted to that, so I thought I wasn't lesbian.
Even joining my schools's Gender Sexuality Alliance club (GSA; straight people are encouraged to join as an allyship thing. It's a thing in the United States) and being in overly "queer" online spaces (because of fandom) didn't make me feel safe regarding my repressed sexual feelings. I never knew where to begin. To be fair, I was under 18 at this time, but there is massive pressure in fandom spaces to say what you are sexually to the point some won't respect you solely because you're not "gay."
I think there's a lot to be said about "is same sex attraction envy? Where is the line drawn between the self and the subject?" and "what are ethical romantic preferences?" that could be discussed in "queer" spaces, that aren't, because the people in them are too young to really care or know, and/or simply straight up faking their attraction to fit in with their social groups. Either that or I'm not looking in the right places.

No. 305303
>>305272Yeah, kinda. I honestly could never get into a lot of lesbian media because I never found any of the women attractive (shallow, I know), and a lot of the ones I did find attractive were kinds of women I likely wouldn't be into IRL. Before I started talking to lesbians, I thought they were all either butch or femme (note: I was 14 lmao) and I was confused because I'm not into butches but hyperfeminine women with a face full of makeup looked uncanny and gross. I wonder if it's because a lot of "representation" just shows palatable thin pretty girls, when there's a wider range of expression IRL. It also took awhile to realize that the women I admire visually are different from who I'd be comfortable pursuing IRL and having sex with.
>>305274>>305282>>305284If she meant "obese" as in 400 pounds and immobile, then it'd be gross, but I know girls who have a little stomach fat and are considered "obese" by their doctors because of their height+BMI. Or have medical issues that make it hard to lose weight even with diets/medications. I personally prefer slightly chubby girls (not slobby and unkept, obviously). I dunno. I highly doubt
nonny is one of those fetish types, but very fat lesbians exist, and I guess it's good that someone likes them.

>>305303I think chubby girls are so cute and wife material. But the girls that usually like me are taller than me and slimmer/fit. I think people like to get the opposite of thier body type because it's fun and interesting. Especially in lesbian relationships I usually see couples that there is a bit chubby one and a skinny or fit type. I'm chubby but not obese and I carry my weight in hips/butt/ breasts / thighs, it's because of the Latin American genes. I get attention from women that are the opposite of me…and sadly younger. I'm one of the anons that want a woman my age sadly. Also, I think I don't have a type specifically but whoever I develop a crush on becomes my type.
No. 305309
>>305305AYRT. I actually am chubbyish too so my preference may be a cope on my end. It's a form of reassurance since I'm insecure over how even when my BMI was on the lower end I had some residual fat, but I'd be able to look past it on someone else. I actually had a phase where I only liked skinny women, but I think it was a self-esteem issue. Now that I worked on myself I find my own body type attractive, but I can appreciate others like fit or muscular too, I just prefer curvy and full-figured. I kind of have baggage with skinny women though, lot (but not all, obviously) treated me really bad for being chubby during puberty and I used to have an ED to try to become skinny, so I'm less likely to go after one. If a slim/fit woman was respectful of me and interested, I might give it a shot, though.
I also am only really attracted to women my age. I actually feel really guilty that I'm not into younger women because they tend to like me and have the same hobbies, not to mention the local scene tends to be populated by them while everyone my age is already partnered. I just don't relate to them when it comes to coming out and upbringing, and they're not attractive to me.

There are so much here that like me, and even if I talk to anons online they're so far away irl and I wouldn't be able to go on dates with them either.

The last woman my age I befriended and have so much in common with has a girlfriend IRL, and I know damn well she's not going to leave that for someone like me. I don't really live in an area with single openly gay women (I've had some early 20s women flirt with me though, which made me really uncomfortable because I internalized that being same-sex attracted is for "young people" and that I'm too hung up on age despite having bad experiences with younger women in general kek), but I don't use apps either anymore because I don't like who I attract.

No. 305380
>>305349To add to this, I want to believe this is true but my experience has been different. I was overweight for most of my life, then lost a lot of weight. I lived in a very health-conscious town and fat/chubby was definitely not the norm. After I lost weight I got a lot more attention from men and women. I gained a lot of weight back after a decade of being thin over the coof quarantine, and the attention from men has evaporated, which is pretty much the only upside to being overweight.
I think it's just that fat/overweight people are invisible unless they're being gross or funny. Pretty much every fat celebrity is a "comedian" or cast in comedic roles because fat people doing things = funny. There's a metric fuckton of BS packed in to HAES/fat acceptance but there are little glitters of truth in the shit heap.
tl;dr the halo effect is pretty legit and people like to look at skinny people more than fat people.

I'm also kinda desisted (but not butch, which tends to be an outlier experience), so I've talked about my experiences with gender identity too since the times I've opened up on my opinions on the gender topic, people tend to be curious why someone like me would've identified as trans in the past.

>there is massive pressure in fandom spaces to say what you are sexually to the point some won't respect you solely because you're not "gay."I keep hearing this "everyone has to be gay now" thing but truth to be told I've never seen it happen, I feel like a lot of it is just inside peoples' heads and caused by their own insecurities not being able to handle seeing straight people jokes and reacting defensively.

And what exactly do you consider "weird, older" lesbians?
>I just want to hear others' opinions of all the weird older lesbians on tiktok. Well here's mine, it's "come back when they're begging for nudes from 14-year olds on Discord instead of just replying to teenagers and talking about wellness topics on Tiktok". Genuinely speaking, would you consider them creepy if they were straight?

>>305599What's the point of having a place for lesbians to talk about things candidly when you can't say anything negative or else you're reminded about how society sucks and views lesbians a certain way. Do you think I don't know this? If I just wanted agreement I would have brought this topic up to straight homophobes. You guys are too pent-up waiting for someone to attack. And you know what the only "attack" I've seen is someone saying "hey gaylords." No ones actually been attacked or called disgusting on here by homophobes all I've seen is the idea of it happening here.
Of course I would. It's something I see a lot on tiktok because I get suggested those accounts. But since you don't know what I'm talking about I guess I don't want your opinion lol.

>>305712I somewhat relate, but what do you mean by "getting wilder"? I hate porn, but I've had weird fantasies for most of my life, and I notice they get more impossible and abstract when I get more socially isolated. I also don't know if you're talking about fetish/kink type fantasies, but most things like that tend to be a way to "fill a void" in someone's life (for example, I used to know people into BDSM and lived a Dom/Sub lifestyle 24/7 because having a dom made them "feel more secure" and gave their life structure).
Honestly, I'm personally jealous there are events near you, because even if it's in a liberal area I'd love to go ASAP just to get out of my head. I understand that the cultures around parties and alcohol is
toxic, but in my experience even LGB people who aren't party-ers tend to go anyway for some kind of community. You're not going to know if what you want is there until you try.
No. 305726
>>305724I'm pretty vanilla and my fantasies are pretty tame but until recently I think due to my loneliness they've been getting wilder for me. As in a little bit of pain, more adventurous or rougher. It's out of the ordinary for me to think about those things. I added the pornography thing if anyone was to say it's probably due to anything I consume. It's just the thoughts that kind of scare me because I've never thought about those things, it's out of the ordinary for me.
I know you're right about going there at least once,I guess I'm just being stubborn. There are a few people I know that go just for the community as you say but then I see them wrapped up in some drama sooner or later or develop an alcohol addiction. I think I'd be more comfortable in a day activity or to just talk…

No. 305885
>>305726AYRT. Yeah, that's why I say a lot of kink/fetish tends to be an attempt to fill a void in someone's life. I hate that we both had to mention not looking at porn because that's always everyone's go-to response as a "cure" when that's not always the case. I'm 95% vanilla too but I've been having weird (non-violent) fantasies sort of as a way to cope with loneliness since I'm not compatible with the last few lesbians I talked to on apps.
Drama and alcoholism are also things used to "fill a void" for people with life conditions they don't like, I go to straight bars a few times this year (but stopped because I don't like getting hit on) but I never developed an addiction because I'm not using it as a coping mechanism. I honestly think someone who goes to one party and gets addicted to drama and alcohol tend to be
toxic people already, it's not like going to a party will "make" that happen if you don't have self control.
I dunno, this isn't about your post specifically, but I personally just get frustrated when nonnies have some kind community out there, but don't go because it might be full of annoying people. You can't know what every single person there is like if you don't look.

Yeah, I know what you mean. People assume that if you have strange fantasies it's because of porn but sometimes they come out so naturally. I wish I could dive into them but even on an anonymous image board it's still kind of.. I dont use dating apps too ( I know).

But we also pretty much have no other choice. Wife will kill herself before she lets a scrote in her body, same with me. And I don’t want to ask anyone in my family to donate sperm so baby can have “my dna.” Cause then it’s not really my bio baby, it’s scrote donors bio baby. But we went to a female run IVF clinic that works mostly with single/lesbian moms. I trust them, and so far it seems to be the right choice. I’m waiting for the day clinics will allow women to have babies with no donors

i need some advice nonnies: should i keep talking to her? idk if my logic rn is because i'm drunk but barely knowing someone and them not coming to a date they suggested feels like such a red flag to me especially so early on. at the same time i barely know her so i could give her another chance and it's kind of insane of me to block and ignore her over this. but she's the only women i have spoken to since recently starting to try dating that seemed genuinely interested and took the initiative to say we should go out AND follow up on it. today she said she really wanted to come hang out with me, we've been talking about it for a week. i invite her to my house, she says she just needs to shower and get ready and…nothing. i texted her happy new year at 1am too and she responded right away so it's not like she fell asleep or forgot about me. i've had some other shit happen this week and been feeling so unlovable and like people always let me down now the year starts off with this. sorry for my drunken ramblings it just feels i can't vent about this with anyone who actually gets it.

Nonas I'm really in an awkward position. I never done anything with a woman before besides kissing and groping, and recently I found out a girl I had a lowkey crush on is single again and actively checking out girls with her friend. She even made friendly sexual jokes with my friend (she was the one who told me the girl is single). Since we don't live in the same timezone a relationship is off the table but a hookup definitely isn't. The problem is that I'm super torn between going for a friendly hookup and not doing anything at all because I don't want to be a pillow princess. I even caught myself daydreaming about what it would be like to have my first proper gay experience but I quickly snap out of it. At this point I'm at a standstill and my gut feeling tells me no but I also worry that I will regret this, since this girl seems like a very good option for a short fling because we get along platonically, and we're both aware it would only be mindless, no strings attached fun. I've always dreamed of being with a girl I'm just so deep in overthinking and shameful of my own complete lack of experience.
No. 306179
>>306118Well first of all, just because you're a virgin does not mean you need to be a pillow princess if you don't want to. If you wanna give, you can give. It's really not complicated. Be upfront about your inexperience and see if she's interested in letting you try. We all start somewhere, that somewhere being later in life for a lot of us as
>>306173 said. My first experience was in my late 20s and it went perfectly because I was with a woman I felt safe with and I was extremely clear about my situation. She let me learn her body and she did a fantastic job pleasing me too. I did not manage to get her off at first (she finished herself while I
sucked her nipples and fondled her the first few times actually) but the only way to get experience is to actually have sex. Let go of the idea that getting someone off as proof of your worth first, and just enjoy touching. You can't think too much about these things.
Tbh I thought I was going to feel all my self-absorbed shame and fear but when we began to touch my brain completely turned off and I went ooga booga. Now that I'm used to having sex I'm less cavewoman about it but it's still a very intuitive experience. Rest assured if you're attracted to your partner, it'll fall into place. If it's not falling into place, stop and move onto someone else!
As an aside for any virgins reading: I think a hookup with a random isn't really a great move for a late bloomer especially. Being honest with someone you actually have feelings for is a better way to learn how to fuck. If the sex isn't great the first time with a random you're probably not getting another chance with her, then you didn't learn much about how her body works. Sure, every woman will be different but there are some patterns between them that will click as you gain experience. Plus with feelings in the fold there is patience and curiosity, I believe that is a great motivator.
Anyway, that's my 2c.

>>306292Not sure why this is here when lesbianism is a sexuality and not a political stance, but even old school Marxists have acknowledged that women's labor (being housewives, mothers, etc.) is never compensated via wages like men's labor and is often exploited due to their sex. Surrogacy, prostitution, and porn is also a form of exploited labor from women (male prostitutes/porn stars exist, obviously, but the ratio isn't 50/50). Even some communist regimes banned abortion, and I've seen "leftist" arguments that abortion is bad because it's getting rid of the future working class and outsourcing labor. I notice a lot of "leftists" refuse to acknowledge that biological sex can be a class in itself alongside economic class. Rich women are economically privileged for being rich, obviously, but they're still oppressed by misogyny. Just look at how rich women like JKR (who has described herself as centrist before posting her GC views) or conservative women like Abigail Shapiro are seen as "acceptable targets" for misogyny.
It's kinda why I'm fed up with politics and leftism despite my economic views leaning towards pro-socialism and always having progressive social views, it's almost as misogynistic as the right wingers where I am. And even Radfems in my experience have been lesbophobic and have some residual conservative/misogynistic views, I'm so tired of it.
No. 306323
>>306316AYRT, I feel the exact same, and I've been trying to unplug from politics a lot because it's something I was focused on for the last five years (both leftism and Radfeminism) and has been making me miserable and angry at the world. But even when trying to just connect with other lesbians or hobbies it still comes up (not about that anon asking a question, just in general).
>I'm not going to go full retard conservative reactionary over it but it made me wary of people that describe themselves as left.Whenever I see a woman (especially a lesbian) have similar views as I do end up becoming conservative, I don't blame her, but it makes me super disappointed. Not to be a "centrist" but neither the left nor right has our backs, but most typical right wing views in general don't really lead to equality or conditions where lesbians can exist comfortably unless you're a Log Cabin respectability politics type. I actually used to know one right wing lesbian (center right but used to be slightly farther in the past), and she admitted that she's an outlier in her party, but shrugged it off.

it feels very juvenile and desperate to have a crush, but it gives me something to look forward to in the monotony of my life. (how many times will i make eye contact for a split-second then look away? im getting butterflies just thinking about it <3)
ive spoken to her maybe 4 times, all in the context of our uni course. ("do you have the notes" type stuff). last time i asked she didnt reply for 4ish hours and i was anxious the entire time.
she's caught me staring a few times and i think ive made my feelings obvious (but in a pathetic way.) i really do not know how to casually speak to her without it sounding like im hitting on someone i barely know? i went through her instagram to see what shes into she liked and just came back 1) with nothing and 2) feeling sort of creepy and slightly dejected while looking at the girls she follows. im fairly confident in my appearance and i dress well but im still afraid of being like the bottom dude in picrel,lol.
anyways, i dont think its appropriate to hit on someone you have classes with the same way you would at a bar or something. ugh. we dont have mutual friends. blessing and a curse, in my eyes.

>>306314>>306316>>306323I know the entire internet memes on muh libfems all the time but a few shit stains on an otherwise well meaning ideology doesn't mean the ideas are bad. I need to remind everyone that the answer to being disheartened by TRAs or all the misery online leftists bring up isn't to turn to conservatism because there's simply no place in their world for us. What would they consider an ideal lesbian couple anyway? Two housewifes in an asexual partnership? Or a suit-wearing butch with a femme in a floral dress? And before you say that leftists would rather us troon out than be lesbians, get real and disconnect from the internet. You're much, much more likely to be accepted for your lifestyle by a left-leaning individual than even a moderate right-wing one. A conservative society with acceptance for gender-nonconformity or homosexuality never existed because traditional values equals a masculine man and a feminine woman fornicating. The people who say "a libshit pissed me off so I guess I'll become conservative now" are so misguided it's painful.
>>306454>Some leftists will acknowledge that a poor white person and poor black person will have the same economic class struggles, but the white person might have an upper hand when it comes to race and getting employment, but that intersectional logic doesn't apply for womenThis is genuinely mystifying to me how so many people understand the disparity in opportunities and societal benefits between racial groups but between sexes they just forget about intersectionality and become blind to the parallels. Transracialism being the prime example.

i seriously can't talk to women at all HELP ME.. its probably because of of internalized homophobia and misogyny, yet i KNOW i am attracted to women romantically, sexually, emotionally, platonically. it took me a long time to accept that i am a lesbian. i grew up being very close minded and homophobic, but i’m more secure and i’m still dealing with this annoying problem in relationships. every time i speak to a woman that is a potential partner, i put on a front of a person i think they would find attractive based on my assumptions and can’t talk to them earnestly. i didn't have any female friends when i was growing up, because of issues with my self-worth, i was quite nloggy, secluded, and i also have bad mommy issues if it means anything. i just want to be able to communicate with lesbian women without being so scared of women? i don't even mean to do it; am i terrible? or a fraud? what is happening? is this normal?

>>307217I've not been assaulted but I've been chased and heckled quite a few times. I'm masc so it's inevitable, though when I'm with my gnc gf it dials up to 11 because it's double-faggotry when it's two women who look too gay. I carry pepper spray and wear shoes I can run in, my strategy being to GTFO if something escalates. I will get a knife sometime but really getting in melee range with a man is almost never going to work out in my favor, it'd mostly just be brandished as a deterrent. I use the pepper spray that way often as well, if a weird guy is approaching me on the train for instance I'll detach the spray from my carabiner and hold it very visibly.
It's generally just wise to avoid any altercation, you never know where a moid will take it. You could get self defense classes but the efficacy of that kind of training is widely up for debate. Assailants in the wild will have a lot of strength compared to the average woman and will not always be behaving according to the moves you're taught in class.
Reposting because I realized I said nothing of coping. It's difficult at first, you feel like this world doesn't want you in it. It is kind of true, being gay brings a lot of friction in ways hets never have to deal with. You need the love and kinship of your fellow lesbians. Make good friends, confide in them and feel loved. What the moids are trying to do when they attack you is to make you feel unwelcome. Unfortunately for them they aren't the arbiters of who deserves a little place in this world. Be around people that remind you of your true worth and stay vigilant out there. Good luck.

>>307316I don't make friends with anyone but lesbians at this point at 28 years of age, I'd say it's extremely worth it. One thing I like to do is pick friends my age that I'm simply not attracted to and whose type I am not. I don't think sexual tension helps matters drama-wise, though I've had some friends that found me easy on the eyes as well. When they're good about not flirting after being brushed off, it's fine. Not that big of a deal. I can't speak to infighting but cheating is a personal failing. If you're secure in your relationship and sense of self, you shouldn't stray and neither should your gf if the same applies to her. In most cases cheating is just something that can happen when a relationship is already over, it's not a cause but a symptom. I'm not sure I get homophobia vibes from you but your gf knows you so I'd trust her judgment on this one tbh.
Personally I've not seen other lesbians as competition and it's a confidence thing as far as I can tell. I trust that I'm the right one for my gf and I offer something special to those in my life. Nobody is competition, we're all swell people!
No. 307326
>>307325Thanks for the reply. I trust my girlfriend completely, and I agree that cheating is a symptom of greater problems. I just plain don't like receiving attention from people when I'm partnered, I think the type of person who would intentionally flirt with someone they knew was partnered has some other issues that make them all around not my cup of tea.
I guess the homophobia part comes from the conversations I've had with my girlfriend about this, I'm honest with her about where my thoughts come from. I'm definitely not very confident and that shows as a weird competitive streak.

>>307326AYRT, I met them on Bumble and HER mostly, sometimes on random Discords/Tumblr/Twitter/Instagram but those don't stick most of the time. I actually like the convenience of being able to filter people out based on their profiles instead of wasting time meeting random people IRL, it's much faster to find likeminded people imo. While I made these friends I was mostly working from home but full time, though I do drink socially so bars were an easy way to go out on weekends. I did meet each person during the day at a very public place though, I never met up with anyone after dark or in a quiet place for the first time. After the first meetup I would allow more trusting settings.
Not drinking complicates things because most people seem to drink. I'm not actually very hot on alcohol but it does make people feel more at ease if you drink something alongside them unfortunately. You could try a hobby group but honestly I'll always sing the praises of apps because of that ease in filtering out especially if you're in a high population area with options.

>>307383I didn't dip into my hobbies that much, my bio was more conveying my conversational style, some things I've got going that most people don't, and I used the premade questions that aren't too obvious/first encounter convo. There are some weird ones in there I could type funny responses to. The more you show your true colors the more likely you'll meet people you click with. Try to think of your type of person and cater directly to her, instead of trying to make a job application style basic stats sheet. You're not looking for anyone, you're looking for companions that will
get you. I also only had 1 or 2 simple selfies, rest were me doing interesting activities that I don't mind doing again (mostly nature related things).
For example there are some people who use a lot of emojis, like a massive string of emojis and not much text at all in their bio, which I hate because I can tell the vibe of this person is going to be annoying to me. BUT that's good, because the ways in which they're annoying in their bio will save us time. They can find people who communicate the way they do.
I straight up skip everyone who does a basic bio giving me the typical facts, I really don't care. Nobody is interesting when presented that way and that they're afraid to put themselves out there even a little tells me I won't get anywhere with them if I spent time on them. A bit harsh but I don't care for cowards and normies. I wanted people who don't mind my autism and enjoy surreal banter which I was able to get.

My girlfriend during sex last night said she wished I had a dick while I was fingering her. I know it was probably just sex talk or smth but it made me feel dysphoric and sad today. I haven’t felt this sad about being a woman in a year and I thought I’d finally overcome my dysphoria until this. I can’t tell her that though since she’s sympathetic to trans people and I don’t want her to try and convince me to transition or smth. I just hope she doesn’t say it again.

pénétration? It's not even exciting to think of, and it sounds uncomfy. Whenever I'm thinking about this stuff I feel like I'm weird for preferring the idea of using my fingers on a girl, instead of receiving myself.
No. 308255
>>308227Would something more abstract like "I wish I could grow my clit out when aroused and use it as a penetrative extension of my body" be sufficient then? Fingers work well enough but because I'm a sperg who thinks they're unhygienic
I remember the anon who said she got a UTI from fingering and I can't shake it off my mind ever again, feel hard and boney and often the fingernails scratch around unless they're cut down to stubs, and dildos you can't really carry around in your pockets and straps are a mess to use and only pleasure the receiver. It's really not anything else than frustration with liking penetration but lacking the perfect tool for it.

>>308303Sounds bullshit. If she’s going through personal stuff, like serious mental illness, or stress, understandable, but do you really want to be with someone who’s emotionally unavailable due to her problems?
It’s not your responsibility to be understanding if it is to your own detriment. You’re not a rehab. And if she doesn’t have significant problems, she’s messing you around, because when you like a girl, you make time for her and are excited to speak to her. There’s someone who will treat you like you matter, because you do. By waiting on this girl who doesn’t give you the time of day, you’re closing yourself from the girl who will, and will appreciate you. You’re giving yourself stress you don’t need. I know it may hurt, but move on, love yourself, there are other women out there.

>>309823This is not a friend, drop her asap.
>>309842Ntayrt but I agree with you especially about the rape part. You remembered it right and it wasn't criticized at all, the woman gets confused when the mc's sock dick doesn't get hard and she excuses herself to go put a strap on and then fucks her in the dark. It's fucked up and horrible and I remember bringing it up to my friends and nobody really responded and it seemed like everyone was content to just sweep it under the rug. I don't know why it's as widely praised as it is and I wish it hadn't been written, it kind of props up transing as this socially necessary thing to 'survive' as a masculine woman and I think that's a really poisonous mindset.
No. 309853
>>309850Not only that, but the book felt like some kind of torture porn to read. I'm not going to get
triggered over that because there is a warning inside the book about descriptions of assault, but it was so depressing to read. I don't think there's anything wrong with dark/gritty fiction and venting about homophobia/misogyny/abuse (I write stories about that), but over and over, some kind of awful trauma happens to the protagonist. She gets institutionalized, assaulted at school and the teachers don't care, runs away and gets taken in by an older lesbian couple, gets assaulted more by cops at the gay bar, becomes stone due to that trauma, and then the trans parts happen. I guess in the context of the story, her becoming trans makes sense, but the people who frame it as proof that butches have always been "non-women lesbians" or "complex gender identities" have no critical thinking because that's literally a trauma response from society.

>>309850She’s not a bad person, just makes me roll my eyes. Isn’t attracted to women’s bodies, but kissed a girl at a party and is now ‘gay’ (dating a guy).

No. 309891
>>309853I think a lot of people stop reading halfway through (which is understandable) and miss the part where she detransitions, gets called "sister" and is happy about it. Or the part that's just apologies for her shitty behavior and opinions. The trans part also happened after the femme pros were accepted by radfems, but butches weren't invited, since they were automatically labeled male-aligned. Maybe it's not good for someone's psyche to constantly be told their whole life they're "practically a man" or "you're trying to be a man".
I think a large part of the book is trying to make people understand why butches are butch, that it's not about "just clothes". That pushing for feminization and barring them from feminism, only pushes them towards the abyss. While also trying to avoid losing the only community she was accepted in.
It demonstrates the perfect storm that was created which popularized transitioning. There was nobody they could turn to and the pharmaceutical industry jumped on monetizing such a vulnerable group of women. I know many constantly say that you cannot be pushed out of womanhood or whatever, there are consequences to constant alienation though. It's clear how much it meant to her just to be called "sister", instead of always being treated like some sort of other.
It's not really fiction though, she just says it is because she admits to committing crimes and messing with the cops so often. There are only a few parts which are fiction and I suspect the weird transition dream (ham-fisted catalyst), "rape by deception" (sounds like typical TiF fanfiction, I doubt that woman wouldn't be able to tell) and some stuff with a TiM (TWAW tier virtue signaling) aren't real. I think that was to avoid the wrath of TRA's for trying to build bridges. Supporting TiFs being considered women and lesbians was even back then quite controversial. Judith Halberstam wrote about the female masculinity turf war in the 90's. It's a wonder that Feinberg isn't hated even more.

>>309891I get what you mean, but I'm also commenting on how the gendies have no critical thinking on the book and see it as something that validates their views and not a social commentary too. I've seen so many act like it's a "nonbinary lesbian manifesto" when that word wasn't in the lexicon back then.
As much as I don't like that there's rape-by-deception in the book, I've talked to some people who think that makes Leslie Feinberg a rapist because she wrote it in a story. There are plenty of other reasons to not like her, like disagreeing with her politics, but they forget that Jess goes stealth in the book when she rapes a straight woman, but Leslie didn't go stealth. I do want to reread the book again (it's actually good to read things you disagree with and analyze why), it was years since the first time I did, and I only talked to hardcore TRAs, lmao.

>>309987Ewwww lol sounds like the girl my friend just dumped, she's a similarly "chaotic" uwu masc enby and calls herself a butch lesbian when it suits her but was engaged to a man before and is now dating a male coworker. I think these types of people think that only butches and trans men can be masculine so they force on the label instead of just being a straight or bi tomboy type. And it's not like you need a label or word to exist as you are anyway.
>>309917If you do I'd love to see your thoughts posted here. My tra friend group from when I first came out recommended it all the time and it was definitely the nonbinary lesbian manifesto you mentioned. I felt (and still do) that LF and I share a lot of the same pains and insecurities and when I said this they abused that connection to tell me that I ought to transition too. Which is fucking dumb because as
>>309891 said it directly criticizes that line of reasoning. And even though some of them were able to recognize that, they'd say stuff like "well I still want that kind of body so I can just transition but still be a woman" or self-describe as transmasc butches etc and it was all so ridiculous. They propped this woman up as transmasc lesbian jesus because to them I think it justified drinking the trans kool aid without giving up their connections to other women. I'm sure LF didn't set out for this to happen but I feel so much bitterness towards SBB all the same.

>>309993>they'd say stuff like "well I still want that kind of body so I can just transition but still be a woman" or self-describe as transmasc butchesHonestly, as much as I'm against surgeries and think taking hormones is extremely risky (not even most informed consent clinics know of the long-term or even individual effects, that's why you sign a paper going "IDK LOL"), I always thought this mindset was slightly better and more self-aware than "I'm changing my sex, I'm a male now, I'm a straight man". I've had TIF friends for the last decade (not as much anymore) due to overlapping circles and most of them were nice people, but it felt like I had to gaslight myself when they became trans and I had to pretend the girl I used to know never existed, and they were
always a "transguy" or "agendered" and not the same person (a woman) but on hormones. It does make me sad how it's always the butch/masc women who feel like they have to transition even if they still know they're women/female, it kind of turns into a social contagion. I had butch friends who knew gendies IRL and felt pressured to use "he-they" or take hormones even temporarily just to achieve a look.

>>309891>I know many constantly say that you cannot be pushed out of womanhood or whatever, there are consequences to constant alienation though. This is the biggest gripe as a GNC woman and something only they understand. You're supposed to carry the sins of being a woman just like everyone else, but you're completely barred from the rare benefits of sisterhood. Even at the very best you're a curiosity for straight/bi women to ogle and experiment with as a male lite until they feel comfortable enough with themselves to graduate into a real man. How many women did I date in college who ended up ghosting me once a man who wasn't a complete scumbag paid attention to them? Who did I have to look up to when I was growing up when all the prolific women I saw weren't at all like me? We had to live in the same misogynist world, but the form of oppression they experienced was different from the kind of visceral disgust women like me caused in everyone around them and the constant assault of being reminded how I'm seen more as a third-grade man, not a woman. TV likes to portray butches as some cool, confident, sexy biker chicks with an undercut (but still a face full of heavy makeup) slaying pussy left and right but in reality we're simply not welcomed or celebrated anywhere. Even the rare occasion there is lesbian representation people are very careful to make the women two femmes or at least two non-threatening looking normies because butches are seen inherently alienating to the masses. So all this said, why wouldn't butches troon out? It's the only thing ever to recognize their gender dysphoria and stretching out a branch, yet they're punished hard by taking that opportunity instead of just "getting over it" with no inspiring future prospects.

Just “in shape”.
I do have a pretty big preference for short girls, though. I’m tall and I will unabashedly admit that all my partners have been like- under 5’5. The size difference just… does things to me I guess? And from what I’ve heard, I know quite a few short lesbians who feel the same but with taller women.
If anything I’m a bit more paranoid about how potential partners perceive ME based on my shape kek. Sage for all my blogging but I have a chronic illness that makes me look pretty ana-chan-esc . And not in the “sexy super model thin” way but the “you can see every bone in my body and I look like a little boy” way. Before my condition took a nose dive, I was lean/muscular and curvy and loved my shape. Now I look like a prisoner of war on top of being freakishly tall. It’s a hard knock life for me KEK

I work at a small business so I get to talk to my coworkers a lot. I have this coworker who's 60, and one day she casually mentioned her wife. Whenever she gives little details about her life, they tend to stick in my head. Her and her wife like to crack open a bottle of wine while cooking, they go on trips to different countries, her wife wanted their garage floor redone, etc. We work in interior design and she's shown me some of the things they have in their house so I have a picture of it in my head. Another coworker said that she thinks she was trying to be in the closet a little bit before my working there, but since I and this gay guy were hired, she's opened up a lot. I never talked about being gay, but it's just obvious looking at me. I think she tested the waters a bit, because after mentioning her wife and seeing that we were well receptive, her wife came in to bring her something a couple weeks later. The bosses said they've never met her wife, and she's been working there 4 years. Others' spouses come in semi-frequently so I'm glad she's apart of that now. I met her wife and I really like their dynamic. Her wife is tall as hell and younger than her.
I look up to her a lot and it makes me happy that she has a successful, lesbian marriage and that maybe one day, that could be me and my future wife. I want to know more about her, like if her coming out was hard (from what I've gathered, her and her wife's families are accepting), when she realized she was gay, idk why. I just don't think I've talked much with older lesbians. I'm trying not to be weird about it lol

>>310256It doesn't matter to me that much, however I don't like it when women are very skinny, like sharp to hold. I'm a hypocrite though because I lost a bit of weight a while ago and my wife says I'm like a stack of coat hangers now lol. I'm a lot less physically imposing so people tend to defer to her, speak to her first, hand her the check, etc. We laugh about it and I'll never admit it but I secretly like it a lot. She calls me a twink butch and a prettyboy (not in a gender way we're not like that lol), and sometimes I think of it like a squire and knight dynamic. Kinda silly but fun for me!

>>310330This warmed my heart. I love connecting with gay people at the workplace, it's such a unique bond that forms. Especially love to meet older lesbians who have figured out their lives and can serve as a role model, though it's rare to see them in my field. Pretty invisible minority status so I guess I'm going to have to become that for a younger lesbian someday in the future. Currently I'm old enough that a zoomer goes "Oh, I didn't realize you were old" but not old enough to look wise kek. A previous job of mine low key sucked for many reasons but the office was full of gay and bi people, including our creative director who was an older lesbian. I really loved being surrounded by them. I wish the actual work ended up being a good fit for me, I never got to work at a place where I'm not the only gay person again.
My gf's boss calls things "gay" as in derogatory even though he knows she's a lesbian. I want to kill.>>310352I don't think it's hypocritical, not being into someone that looks/feels too similar to you makes sense to me. I do know of couples that basically look like sisters but it's always been so weird to me. I appreciate women with my body type/coloring but they're at the bottom of my list of people I'd go for. I really like your dynamic btw! Reminds me of my relationship a little, though I'm the shrimpy masc that has a dominant personality that people are intimidated by and my wifey is the shy taller one with a gentle presence. We like to joke about who's gonna be offered the credit card machine or who gets asked about the drink menu etc. I'm the masc king but sometimes she dethrones me by being misgendered or some silly nonsense like that.

My girlfriend of 6 months broke up with me over Snapchat. Not even over text. I knew it would happen eventually since she’s transferring to a different university several hours away next semester but that’s not until August so I thought we could have a few months more together. We even talked about it already. I also don’t blame her though for just cutting it off now since waiting for a relationship to end is shitty. I just wish she would have broke up in person last night. We had a great dinner and had sex afterward. We were making plans for Valentine’s Day and she gave no inclination she wanted to break up the next morning. She said on Snapchat that she felt she was becoming more like a friend to me and she couldn’t give her romantic 100% anymore. I couldn’t tell she wasn’t giving her all? Tbf I’m a sperg so maybe I couldn’t tell she was faking that she was still into me when we were making out? She also said she’s a naturally flirty person and wants to let it out to more people again? Does this mean she wants to just go back to being single and having hookups? I feel bad if she felt I was holding her back or smth. She still had pictures of me as her screensaver on her phone last night so I thought she liked being monogamous with me. It feels very sudden. This is my first relationship so I dunno if I’m being dramatic but I don’t think breaking up over Snapchat is normal right? Anyway I feel like a failure that I couldn’t even have my first relationship last a year. We had all these plans for a trip to the redwoods we were going to go on for Spring Break and even next week we were going to binge her favorite horror movie franchise since I’d never seen any of em. I feel like the rug was pulled out from under me by a fucking Snapchat message. If she didn’t want to date me anymore why did she make all these plans and even talk about some of them last night? Fml

>very aware that my family makes fun of masc women
i feel like an mtf because i didn't have the experiences of bonding over boys with other girls, or being into super girly things, and always felt guilty hugging other girls whereas they were so comfortable with each other. i want to belong. to be one of the girls. being who i actually feel i am isolates me, and my former friend group are all thembies getting mastectomies at 19…are we doomed to be outsiders? does it get better?

>>310670>surround yourself with gnc lesbiansWhere? Was there more of a lesbian community when you were my age, since I’m guessing there were less gendies?
I’m glad it got better for you. I’ll try to find a community so I can belong somewhere for once.

>>310689Yeah I was surrounded by actual gay people in university. However I was in the closet and so they didn't know me properly at that point… I made my gnc friends in adulthood. It'll be better when you're older anyway, people have actual ideologies and solidified views in life so you won't make a friend and then have her troon out in 2 weeks randomly. There still are women with good heads on their shoulders at your age as well, though due to the nature of growing up many of them do cave to societal pressure to become megalib misogynists.

I'm a butch and my girlfriend is a femme and I've been mistaken as her husband a few times when I have had my hair tied back (I'm quite a bit taller than her). Accidental misgendering used to make me insecure but now I just find it hilarious.
Especially when I get to tell them that I'm a woman (i.e. not a genderspecial) and see their reaction of relief. >>310663For me it's the opposite. Back when I dressed in a girlier way, other women seemed to treat me like a retard and constantly looked at me down their noses, but when I started presenting masculine they immediately became more open and friendlier with me to the point some of them even started flirting but in an annoying exploitative bicurious way.

I wish I had freedom to be loud and goof off, and not have to deal with complicated female social nuance, or fulfilling expectations of womanhood, since I’m supposed to grow out of this into a proper lady. There are so many rules for girls, and we enforce them on each other too. I know i sounds misogynistic. I just want to be free.

This is a bit of a rant. I just turned 22, I realized that I'm a lesbian about a year ago. I'm fairly "straight passing" – I wear minimal style clothes and have longer hair. But I only wear pants, use minimal makeup, and I think my energy, confidence, and how I carry myself in conversations tends to tip people off that I'm not straight.
I've been trying to put myself out there more and am on dating apps, but I haven't really seen success. The only times I've gotten any indicator that I look gay (And am, in a fucked up way, desirable to women???) since I've been out have been through these weird interactions I've had at concerts multiple times.
They always play out in the exact same way:
>Guy randomly comes up to me and asks an innocuous question like, "When does the main act start?" which I answer out of courtesy
>Very quickly realize he's strung out but can't escape the conversation
>Within 5 minutes he's suddenly introducing me to his "beautiful wife/girlfriend"
>She immediately starts eyefucking me without breaking eye contact
>She's extremely forward and usually tries to grab my hands or touch my shoulders in a sensual way during said intense eye contact
> They keep making drug-addled small talk while I am visibly extremely uncomfortable (picrel)
> I eventually nope out of the conversation and flee into the crowd
I just don't know how to feel about this? If I should feel happy at all that I'm somehow pinging people's gaydar? Or if it just makes me feel worse that the closest I can get to a woman showing interest in me is through basically being fetishized and seen as a fun little check off a couple's bucket list. I'm just really tired and frustrated, nonnas.

>>310711NTA but people can definitely sense your discomfort, confidence is the main factor in success regarding social situations. Even if people don't love your identity or whatever, your confidence can earn their respect still. They may not like you but they will treat you better.
Anyway, it's completely pointless bending out of shape to appease lesbophobes. You never know what the specific thing they're gonna pick on is going to be, and changing that for one social setting isn't going to make that work for another setting. These people are just phobic, there isn't a version of you that is both true to you and acceptable to them. I understand the extremely human desire to be accepted and liked, but it's just not possible to be liked as your authentic self by a homophobe. This isn't directed at anyone in specific but I want to put this out there.
Acceptance for what you aren't will never make you happy. That's why picking your battles is important, that's why you can't expect to be treated as well as a heterosexual when you enter a room. Not every room is safe, not every room is occupied by people who are capable of being kind to us. The sooner you learn the sooner you'll stop setting yourself up for failure.
Even as someone described as "naturally rebellious" I understand the pain of not fitting in. I'm autismo and butch so the thick skin I have is the result of hard work. Child me is wounded as fuck and still sometimes begs for the approval of the idiot hets in my past and present, unfortunately she will never get it and I have to instead show her the real warmth of lesbians who actually understand and love her.
Regarding gendies and social pressure from The Gays to troon out, you need to get smarter. I say this with love, not every lesbian is a safehaven. There are intuitive signs when someone is gonna troon and over time you'll get better at sensing that stuff but for fucks sake you know their koolaid is nonsense so don't drink it just because they did. Cutting your tits off will never make you more accepted by the heteros you feel so rejected by. Even if it did, it will kill you inside. Medicalizing a social problem is not the answer. When are you going to live? When will your life start? You're wasting time pandering to people who have nothing inside them for
you. You are what you are, you owe that to yourself. Always be loyal to yourself first.

Does anyone else have steadily declining tolerance for being around OSA women? I've already cut men out of my life so they're not a factor, but it gets harder to tolerate the woes of straight/bi women with each passing day. I just don't care to hear about their ugly, degenerate moid boyfriends or the subsequent issues they face because of the men they involve themselves with. Trying to convince OSA women to break up with their terrible, abusive boyfriends is like pulling teeth, and I'm still expected to sympathize and listen to what they have to say after they ignore me/others' opinions. Lesbians are zero hassle in that regard and I find that when I try to make connections recently, I gravitate exclusively towards other lesbians. Plus, I also find that OSA feminist values fluctuate depending on whether or not they have a boyfriend/man they're interested in. It's just messy.

Friendships are a two way street and that's just not what a healthy one looks like.
Are you straight? Is that why you seem personally offended? You did the classic manipulative "lower your standards or you'll be alone" at someone that's been happy talking to other lesbians and it's very creepy.

>>310855God. Yes. I genuinely couldn't give less of a shit about their relationship. Especially because so many of my friends are actual bihets with a male-only dating history but had a bisexual stunt in college, it's a special kind of pain to experience. I just can't relate to their Nigels being inconsiderate bastards with zero emotional intelligence because dating women I very rarely have that issue.
But the absolute worst is when they start going on about their actor crushes or men they find attractive, they're all the same ugly generic men. I can't even tell them apart because I have zero interest. It's the one conversation that completely alienates me and every time makes me realize more and more how I can never fully belong.

I love my girlfriend so much. She is basically perfect for me: butch (she was so close to becoming a ftm but i peaked her), hates men and troons, we have lots of the same interests, and are very sexually compatible. I like how she looks, her personality, her opinions, her voice, like everything about her.
We’ve been together for over 6 years but it’s mostly online, due to us living in different countries, but I visit her a lot and stay for months and she was able to visit me last year (which is a miracle, getting a visa is hard as fuck). And we were so close to finally living together . And now this won’t happen for at least 2 more years. It’s insane, nonnas…
Depressing as fuck. The only way for us to live together is to spend all our life savings for a chance to marry somewhere else or for me to move to her to a homophobic shithole (r*ssia, for fuck’s sake), just drop everything which is just… not fair. If we were a straight couple, we could have married a long time ago and lived together for years already. I don’t know how much longer I can live like this, but she is the only one I ever loved so deeply and it’s incredibly hard to find a girlfriend, especially like her, right now.
We've looked at every possible solution and there is just none that are actually possible for us.
I hope there will be better times for lesbians eventually

Getting a job here for her while she is not in the country is next to impossible, since even i myself struggled to find a job, so finding one that will help with visa would be hard.

>>311133That's how we wanted to do that, she'd come here as a tourist and we would marry. But you need a visa to come here as a tourist, so… We could do that last year, but the visa was granted for like 10 days and to get married Finland needs to perform a check up on previous marriages or some shit and for people from other countries it takes from 3 to 5 weeks, plus getting a document for that in Russia will be another bureaucratic hell. Plus we had no way of knowing if visa even will be granted earlier, so I couldn't start the process earlier. And all of that coincided with mobilisation in Russia, lots of people were leaving the country and other shit happening and Finland stopped letting russian tourists in. She was able to at least visit me (and she liked it here so much, that was another concern), but if we decided to go a couple of days later than the date we came here, she wouldn't be let in the country. Sorry for a bit of TMI, ahah, but the way everything was set up sp specifically to fuck everything up is just ridiculous.

Ofc I had the advantage of not being a Russian during war and Canada being chill about immigration kek.

i need some advice-i'm a very very unexperienced lesbian and have been trying, and failing, to date for the last few months. i always get ghosted before i get a date, i'm way more interested than the other person, getting stood up, etc. but i have been texting this girl everyday for about a month or so and i really like her. we just talked on the phone for the first time today for like 5 hours-and we are going to go thrifting together next week. it's just i've put off being overly flirty because i think that turned off some other women-but we've had some moments, i think. i'm low-key autistic idek.
anyways she mentioned her ex boyfriend and i'm worried my lack of experience will be a turn off, or i won't do the right things. i find bi girls are used to guys making the moves so they usually don't. but i have this nagging feeling in the back of my head telling me i'll be a creep for trying anything too soon. we literally met on a dating app! i know it's silly i just don't wanna ruin this. she's so sweet and pretty and i feel so…not. i think i'm gonna text her just to clarify what we are both looking for before our date next week, is this okay?

How the hell do you find other lesbians? I'm pretty sure it's been asked before… but it's been so hard to do so in English. Every english speaking space I am in, it's all full of the creepiest men I've ever come across. I never made a her account (I'm afraid to show my face, honestly…), but I have an account on barq and all I get are men and trannies who want to fuck me or want me to do shit like suck their dicks. Some men even wanted me to go with them in their car (this is only talking with me for a few minutes, mind you!) and I just fucking block them after that.
Part of me wishes I wasn't a lesbian because of this. Only last year, did I finally accept myself because I was in homophobic communities for years, and now it's just so hard to date women, or at least find some that are actually nice… The most I do is dress in a masculine fashion, and I'm tempted to attend LGBT events, as my area has a pretty active scene. However… I'm worried it may just be full of either gay men or trannies.
It's just really frustrating that I can't seem to find many other lesbians like me… I'm thinking of looking for some with my second language, but I'm pretty sure that the community is much more homophobic than the ones in English. I dunno, though. I really am sick just coming across creepy men over and over, or I get excited I see a "woman" only to find out it's a man in a dress.

>>312116First of all good luck! You can clarify and be honest about your struggles with social cues. If you're trying to date her then she's gonna know you're an autist soon anyway, she's gonna have to be ok with all that. You can also talk about not knowing if something is overstepping her boundaries, maybe it's not suave or cool but it's clear and that is worth the cringe imo. I've never understood people's insistence on playing games just to come across as more charismatic than they are. Shit's not like the movies, the couples that stay together are ones that don't expect things to work without communicating anything. You're gonna laugh during sex sometimes, you're gonna ask permission to do things, you're gonna have to be vulnerable. It will all be okay in the end, if she's right for you then none of your innate qualities will hinder you all that much.

>>312246Yes, please, I would really appreciate that! Thank you, I'm really hoping they would have some ideas it could work.
>>311401True, but we both still have family and close friends there, so unless everything really continues to go to shit with the government cracking down on lgb rights we would like to try less radical solutions… But we'll keep that in mind though
>>311835Well, it was a bit before the whole trans cult became such a huge issue, so she wasn't too deep in tra shit. But she was more like a NLOG loling on "dumb feminists" at the time, talked to moids more and thought she should have been born a moid.
But when we became friends, we talked a lot about how retarded all of this gender roles bullshit is, how you can be a woman but look whenever you like and how gnc/masculine women are amazing. We shared news of male violence (we watch true crime stuff a lot), shared our hatred of males and later of male troons and their entitlement. Like, gradually, when I started to peak I shared most of the things I read with her and we talked a lot about shit going on. Another thing that helped me, is the influx of trans bullshit in all of her favorite fandoms. We do both feel pity for ftms/nbs, it’s easy to relate to their struggles, but they are creating such a cringe in fandoms and in their “activism” and combining that with a typical mtf pervert cringe creates a perfect solution for an outsider or for anyone who actually decides to look into that to peak. We have discussed the surgeries and ofc she didn't know the extent of how frankenstein-esque they are. Now she saw enough of ftm hand-sausages in ftm-thread to even think of becoming a ftm, lel. (I haven’t forced her though, she was curious when I said it looks dumb).
She still has some dysphoria-like feelings regarding her body, especially chest, but we went a long way from her not liking to be touched and only wanting to give pleasure, to her being comfortable with receiving pleasure as well. I just always remind her that her body is just a body that I will love regardless. I will support her if she wants to actually improve it, like exercise or get healthier, but if it’s surgery or testosterone, first she should know what it actually entails and all of the risks that come with it.
So in short, we just… talked basically? This might not work of course if the person is too deep and has too many TRAs friends, but if it’s your partner, it's best to just support the way she is. I always tell my girl how happy I am that I was able to get a butch girlfriend like her and she knows it means a lot, knowing how infested with ftms/nbs lesbian dating pool is. And it’s just a part of her, it’s not everything,I love so much about her beyond that. She is always reminded of that and she gives me the same love I give her.
Just tell her that you love her ♥
I hope any of this makes sense, kek. And thank you!!!

>>312369Dear nonna, this is not autistic, this seems like a painfully common situation for lesbian women. World (more like western society kinda, but still) went too fast from treating homosexual women like trash, to thinking we are somehow privileged and not cool enough of identity to suffer from misogyny for. And women who are bisexual or bi-curious just more often than not see us as a fun little fling or an experiment to not be boring cishet.
Bot no one really gave lesbians any time to go through the trauma of being constantly perceived as predators or othered for being different.
But i want you to know you are not alone. From this thread alone you can see that there are women just like you, who realized their sexuality later in life. At 30 you are still young, you still can find a woman who will love you. It is the hardest of all sexualities, in my opinion, to be a lesbian, especially right now. But it's possible and you really shouldn't think it's over for you or how it's pathetic. You deserve to be loved, you deserve to be accepted for being a butch. We are pushed out of our spaces, so no wonder there is no other place to rant about it like this gossip imageboard.
But i really believe in you and hope for the best for you,
nonny.

i'm almost desperate enough to download a lesbian tinder equivalent despite being a strictly organic real relationships ( in general not just romantic ) type of person, but i'm afraid of being outed. coming out isn't an option for me as i am north african and therefore live in a muslim country. i feel hope in stupid things like seeing "i'm a lesbian" "i like girls" etc. written in the bathroom stalls at my uni though i wonder if those are actually true or some kind of joke. there's multiple of those in different handwritings on different stalls, so i'm hoping at least one of those is being truthful. i really don't know or think there is another way for me to meet any others besides using social media. i just hate the idea of apps because it feels and is advertising myself, and anyone can take a screenshot of my pictures to do whatever with them beyond my control which really freaks me out. i was actually once friends with a bisexual girl when i was a teenager but to my knowledge she never dated any girls before or after we parted ways and neither have i. i've gotten extremely close though to the point of planning to live and grow old together, over the internet kek i've only come out to her and two other girls in my life with no big reactions from any of the three, kek
despite this i still love my country and i would feel extremely homesick if i left but i also know that the likelihood of being doomed to a life of loneliness is way smaller if i was in a different country or continent… i know at the end of all of this it's really up to me to make the effort but for now i'll keep delusionally hoping fate will come in clutch someday

We met via a Facebook group for atheists of my country and she started chatting with me because I had mentioned being gay in one comment, then one thing led to another and we ended up briefly dating.
It's really difficult to find other lesbians irl in general, let alone in a country that wants us dead. You can't trust anyone to know that you like women, so how will that info reach another woman except by sheer luck? So I think looking online is the best way to do it. When I made a throwaway profile on Tinder, most of the girls didn't put pictures of their faces on their profiles or they hid them under masks or something, you don't have to show yourself. They swap photos only after talking to eachother and developing enough trust to do it.
Personally, I could not stand staying there and left asap. I hate Islam too much to live in a Muslim country anyway. But now I have to learn how women date here so good luck to me lol

>was your real name attached to the facebook account ?Nope, the group recommended everyone to stay anonymous so we had pseudonyms and random profile pics. We only revealed our names and pictures after we started talking. I remember using a second, anonymous account for that group and switching to my main one once I trusted her enough (which didn't take too long)
>TinderThat was a while ago tbf so I'm not sure if they changed things up now. When I logged in after setting my preferences to women, I remember getting a message from Tinder saying that it detected that lived in a country that is hostile to LGBT people and to be careful. Maybe that's the reason they didn't verify?

>>312755Same. I've been trying to find lesbian spaces that aren't radfem-oriented because the ones I found tend to border on political lesbianism and are hard to handle since I have PTSD; I really don't like having to see topics about abuse and male violence constantly. But the ones that aren't just allow anyone to join, and you can't question someone's "identity". I actually am a political person and enjoy reading and discussing theory, but I also like to have fun in my life. I hate that saying I'm a lesbian automatically makes people assume my beliefs, homophobes think I'm a liberal out to destroy society and liberal-homophobes think I'm a "
TERF" or whatever, just for a natural sexuality. I used to know conservative lesbians, you can be any sexuality and have any kind of belief, it doesn't make sense how our alleged spaces are either hardcore radfem or free-for-all inclusive genderist.
No. 312846
>>312755Looking back on things, I think "lesbian" specific spaces will always be a cesspit. Unless it's for dating, there's not much everyone has in common. Feminism and lesbianism can never fully be at peace with one another, for instance. I often find Radfems as a breath of fresh air, looking through their blogs, but I don't think anyone fully embraces their own ideology, so they turn on one another eventually. Same thing with gendies. None of them fully embrace their ideology, so they turn on one another eventually. You may like a close-knit friend group instead of a massive, incomprehensible "lesbian space" full of strangers. In the past the Internet was nowhere near as large or encompassing as it is now, so now it's like if everyone was given a megaphone. You only hear the ones who talk the loudest. I don't think it's going to get better than it is now. Discord servers may be your best bet. In many ways its like a little Internet that's moderated. For fandoms and artistic mediums, there's small pockets of sane women with servers that'll welcome with open arms someone like you. It really makes me wish Reddit wasn't complete ass for women, it's my ideal format for browsing the Internet.

Nonnas, I hope it's okay to gush for a moment, I just wanted to talk about what she gave me for valentines. She gave me a little notebook and on every page she wrote something she loves about me or us or what we do together. I ugly cried when she gave it to me, and I still can't read it without tearing up. I love her so much. I've never gotten a gift like this before at all and now all I wanna do is make her happy no matter what.

>>313172lmao NTA but what is that supposed to mean? I’ve been casually swiping for the past few weeks and almost no one on these apps has a personality to speak of, it’s crazy how much work you have to put into maintaining simple conversations. Does no one understand the rules of casual chat anymore? You ask a question, I ask a followup, we shuffle through random topics until we hit one which is engaging to both parties and we can connect in some way. I’m out there extracting basic answers out of these girls like a fucking dentist working on a rotten tooth. Genuinely depressing. At this point I’m lowkey trolling most of them and started swiping right on obvious undateables with profiles that scream bpd in the hopes they’re a bit more entertaining. Even started a convo with a flaky self-proclaimed voidgender with adhd. She’s just butch and pretty much my type lol, hoping we can at least hookup a few times without her delving too deep into her gender, I’d just burst out laughing in person.
(There’s one exception though, she's cute, has a career in a niche stem field and seems grounded, funny. Hoping she’ll agree to meet in the next few days so we don’t keep texting ad vitam eternam)
I downloaded these apps with zero expectations except maintaining social skills and at most snagging a mildly interesting fwb. Can’t even imagine banking my future on these boredom generators. I accepted a while ago that I’ll probably be single for life and mostly focus on my career.

Pictures: one good face photo + a few of you outdoors/doing some activity (should show your body).
Avoid: snapchat filters(a plague), picture of you+one million randoms, mirror pics.
You can just swipe a bit with a blank profile and take note of what you like in the profiles that appeal to you, then emulate their style to attract similar women. Just delete the blank account when you're done and remake a good one (where you are selective in your right swipes) otherwise the tinder algorithm will screw you.

>>313715Gold stars do not consider actual rape
victims to be not gold stars. "Comphet" is not rape.
Consensual sex with a man is what determines if you're a gold star or not. Grooming is a nuanced topic, many don't consider an adult who got coerced to be groomed, therefore not raped etc. The reason gold stars are wary is that actual bisexuals who enjoy male company love to larp as lesbians while in a OSA phase, too many of us have been burned by it. Nothing stops you from pretending to be a gold star btw, especially if you actually got groomed as a kid and don't want that to define you, just don't share it.

>>313715Never once in my life have I ever heard another lesbian (let alone a woman in general) say or imply that rape makes a woman a non gold star.

>>313721 said. Especially in this day and age, it's hard to find other actual lesbians rather than larping bisexuals in OSA spaces, so sometimes finding other gold stars is the only way to be "safe", so to speak. Additionally, I think being a gold star
is something that has the potential to be celebrated, especially when society is telling all women left and right to conform and that they just "haven't found the right guy yet." At the same time, you're making this an infinitely bigger deal than it really should be. Sorry you had male relationships before, nonna.
No. 313750
>>313715Agree with the other anons that if anyone says a rape
victim can’t be a gold star, they’re full of shit.
Being a gold star means you’ve never voluntarily had sex with a man which I see as a neutral trait. Gold stars who refuse to date non-gold stars, I get they are afraid of being manipulated by a larping bihet and this is indeed a really unfortunate thing that happens, so I kinda understand but don’t come complaining that you can’t find anyone who meets your dating criteria.
Gold stars who think they are intrinsically better or more lesbian for being gold star, that’s just the lesbian equivalent of a pick-me. You can read so many posts in this thread from very introspective people explaining the various reasons they dated or had sex with a man. If you’re immune to comphet good for you, but you’re not special for it. It’s like thinking you’re a better or smarter woman because you never had an eating disorder.

>If you’re immune to comphet good for you, but you’re not special for it. You sound like a bitter bisexual. Non-goldstar lesbians generally support their goldstar sisters and understand the importance of goldstar visibility to help with young lesbians' feelings of isolation, only bis lose their collective minds at their mere theoretical existance. Political Lesbians in particular are the loudest screechers because they know their copehet stories and theories of socialization somehow overriding biological instinct fall apart with gs simply existing. Saying we are "immune" to comphet, what exactly do you mean? If you mean propaganda to make hetero-mating enticing, indeed no amount of romcoms could have convinced me to suck dick sorry you got confused. Hope you're not talking social backlash, as though we didn't experience violent push-back, ostracism and mockery for not conforming, while the larping bis, in their own words, did it to "fit in" and socially blend/be viewed as normal/not be grouped with the unpopular suspected dykes. How can we possibly have dealt with less pressure than you when you were the literal cowards hiding behind the safety of hetero facades? And not even necessary ones since even most straight girls I know started dating/having sex in their 20s. And then years later when you're no longer a cool girl for those bjs you gave brad, to come out of the woodwork and cry
victim for your own choices, insult us with nlog & internalized bigotry accusations then expect us to remain silent about our lives lest it "traumatize" you while you go on and on in excruciating detail about all the dick you rode due to "comphet" lmao.
At this point the goldstar topic has become my most reliable PL detector because crypto-bis cannot help being
triggered by the concept, as shown in these posts. Ask a bisexual what they think about goldstars and you will often hear the most uncontrolled homophobic misogyny expressed - which is their real thoughts about lesbians (the incels of LGBT; haters of normal women & men; uppity narcissistic NLOGS who think they are BETTER THAN US). Goldstar hatred is where pent-up rage and suppressed dislike of lesbians finds a socially acceptable outlet within "queer" circles. As such I will never accept these entitled demands of goldstar modesty, invisibility and silence to not hurt the feelings of others. Asking for "goldstar" to disappear from lesbian culture is a lesbophobic demand, basically agreeing with wider society for heterosexual trauma to be a normal rite of passage for young lesbians, and not trying dick at least once being the abnormal/close-minded/arrogant behaviour. The term itself emerged as a reponse to this type of homophobic commentary. I hope other goldstars will reject this doormat behaviour, never having sex with a man is sadly not a mere "neutral trait" yet for lesbians, made clear by the avalanche of emotional outbursts, outright lies, insults and contempt directed our way any time the subject is broached. Loudly and proudly flaunt you goldstar status in the face of seething bihets and professional
victims with tales of a thousand dicks sucked, I wish nothing but hypertension and insomnia to these morons agitating their useless minds over conspiracies of a supposed secret cabal of extremist lesbian goldstar supremacists wishing to be picked, #1 oppressors of female rape
victims.

>>313791Me too! Although not seeing the wife on-screen and the character not being GNC was not that great for me personally, I loved the little nod to us.
>>313794NTA I think the idea is that they're gatekeepers, not really pickmes. Or pickmes for other lesbians only? Idk lol. I do agree with you largely for privileged westerners but there are cultural bubbles within the US as well as other countries where heterosexuality is
actually compulsory. I do agree there are self-hating bisexuals using the term to run their mouths though.
I do wanna say the way we talk about non-goldstars needs some thought. "Nothing made me date a man" could be taken to imply that it would be impossible to lose your whole support network as a young person (who is financially dependent) or be literally kidnapped to the "motherland" to be force-married. The latter is dramatic maybe but the former does happen and some portion of lesbians are legitimately pressured into simply letting themselves be raped. Otherwise they're beaten, threatened with financial ruin, or sometimes they're so emotionally battered by
abusive religious families that they just give in to vague ultimatums.
It's definitely important that we uplift gold star characters in media as well as have us take some platforms to talk about how we knew who we were so that others can get a clear message from actual lesbians and not just hear about bi copes. What I mean is: it's not just annoying bisexuals in denial that this language affects, so I'd rather not use such pointed language just to spite them. Still, I do agree with the general sentiments you both

>>313801Sorry but every time I hear these stories of being forced to sleep with several dudes to maintain cover as a teenager living in a religious conservative environment I have to scoff in disbelief at these obvious fanfictions. If you actually grew up around very religious people you would know that as a teen lesbian you are basically the golden daughter (or less despised) since you easily disregard male romantic interest. Which is great because the moment you grow breasts you are assumed a would-be whore until marriage and constantly surveilled. Like I mentioned previously, a lot of straight girls, and especially those in conservative religious environment will not be having romantic or sexual liaisons with any men until they are in college or living independently in their 20s, so where on earth are these alleged conservative parents dying for their teen daughters to date and lose their virginities?
Lesbians who grew up in these environments are very much aware of how precarious their situations are, how easily support can be withdrawn and how real the threat of being sent to the home country to learn “real cultural values” is in certain communities. Most kids who grow up in strict households become skilled liars anyway, when you’re gay the fear is multiplied - in addition to lying through you teeth constantly you develop several contingencies and escape plans. Number one is to focus on school. Studiousness serves as shield on several fronts: to secure financial independence, to deflect against any suspicions from lack of romantic male interests (although for religious parents it is assumed you are asexual until marriage or else) or gnc appearance/behaviour that would normally be sanctioned. You are given much more leeway if you excel academically. If you don’t live in a particularly oppressive country securing competitive scholarships or admissions is a priority so your parents hopefully agree to let you study abroad and you can complete your escape. With this type of fear hanging over your head where do these oppressed comphet
victims in conservative environments find time to date every male showing mild interest in them? The pressure to marry from relatives generally only comes in you mid-20s or after you’ve graduated college, at which point you will already be fairly independent and less vulnerable to coercion.
Now of course I am not talking about extreme outliers such as polygamist cults with child-marriages, you can obviously deduce from context I was addressing women with basic free-will, not afghan lesbians from poor families or sister-wives being force-married in Utah. Again with policing goldstars because they allegedly oppress literally sexually enslaved women, please be serious. It’s beyond insulting for larpers in the free west to attempt to skinwalk the lives and experiences of these women, and they should be called out for this disrespectful bs; the “religious-conservative upbringing” has actually become the most common way of whitewashing inexplicable past het behaviour among “lesbians” and I fully blame the recent rise in popularity of comphet & other radfem theories for spawning this horde of creative writers transforming their dull stories of normal het attraction & mediocre teen sex with dudes into these grandiose tales of endless hardship and trauma, litteral Fantine wannabes. It was pretty rampant on r/truelesbians and that sub was always at least 1/3 political lesbians.
Anyway, their lies are fairly obvious to suss out if you grew up in or interacted with other lesbians in conservative communities, either within the west or in non-western conservative countries: the majority are goldstar, it is actually the norm outside of western culture.
Also I disagree with denying us language to speak and congregate around this specific experience. Goldstar is a problem only because we are women and for this reason we should continue to use this language. Somehow gay men use it without drama, it's integrated in their culture and used as it should be, as we ourselves used to, in a vaguely tongue-in-cheek way even by non-gs to discuss another aspect of our varying experiences. Meanwhile we have reverted to using it in a militant way because lesbians having boundaries is currently taboo. The language is only "pointed" to bisexuals even though the term does not apply to them at all, and "lesbians" who slept with men willingly and they know damn why the term really offends them. Those who were coerced are not in the same category for obvious reasons, though they are always used as rhethorical arguments by people seeking to destroy yet another aspect of lesbian culture while pretending to fight against misogyny/patriarchy.

Of course I don't think strict households pressure women to fuck multiple men but they pressure to eventually get a boyfriend (plus they normalize/praise not wanting him sexually up until marriage). That is how a lot of late bloomer lesbians realize they're gay, especially outside of the west where being a lesbian specifically is spoken much of. You end up having really "deep" bonds with friends and not know what to make of it, chalk it up to kinship etc. They wait to try sex and then realize a lot of things at once.
Anyway some people call the one-man lesbians silver stars but it's not that common of a term. The "if I knew not to fuck a man then how come you didn't, hmmm??" shit negatively affects that group specifically imo. I used to spew that same stuff before but now that I've known enough women in this group, their lives are far from simple so I just wanted to try and reason but anyway.

I'd prefer gold4gold and hopefully terf4terf kek. I'm okay with febfem bisexuals, since they're always terfs too.
I often strike up close friendships with women on
terf servers, it's naturally better to bond off common interests like that than using dating apps but I never seem to know how to initiate "Hey, I think I could get feelings, should we give this a try?" without coming off as too open or weird.
Also nonnas, how do you deal with the anxiety and internalised lesbophobia at times? Not sure if internalised is the right word because I recognise that it's wrong and it's more of an intrusive thought than anything. It's just that should I be the one confessing or wanting to try, my brain likes telling me I'm just being predatory. Do I expose myself more to the situation to alleviate the anxiety then?

In some Asian cultures men and boys will perpetuate that their culture's women hate sex so there is also pressure there, the women really do seem to so hate it even though they're straight… Then the conclusion of "Oh I hate sex but in a way different from the straight women around me" comes too late.

>>314502I'm one of the anons you replied to, and I agree. At this point, talk of "comphet" and "gold star" circle jerking is a red flag for me and why I don't bother with online lesbian spaces much besides popping in here and replying to anons I find interesting. Hardcore gold star types also seem to forget that the definition of "lesbian" has also been muddled and the LGB community has been taken over by TQs, which causes confusion just as much as living in a miserable heterosexual culture. I considered myself straight because of the miserable conditions the straight women around me were in (the idea of marrying a guy made me miserable, but the straight women I knew were also miserable so what's the difference?), but when I found out about "LGBT", the dominant rhetoric was that sexuality is fluid, attraction is based on someone's "gender", romantic orientation can be separate from sexual orientation, and genitals don't matter. When I knew deep down I didn't like men, I still thought that maybe my sexuality might naturally shift into something else one day, or I could like a guy "romantically" but not sexually, so I went from identifying as straight to identifying as bisexual/queer for a long time. I've known a lot of lesbians who were deeper in the queer theory who had multiple
abusive TIM exes because they would've been outcasted from their only community for denying their "identity", I don't think that's remotely the same as bisexuals who write off their genuine attraction to men as "comphet".
>>314560>I genuinely can't stand how far politicized lesbianism is and how much it's framed as a choice-based lifestyle instead of an innate sexuality that due to its unconventionality causes various identity issues during our developmental phases depending on what our environment is like.It honestly gets suffocating how lesbian is seen as a political view, from all sides.

Not once in my life have I been attracted to men sexually or romantically but I still denied and denied my lesbianism well into my adult years because the straight women around me hated their Nigels and the sex with them just the same, what made me so different from them? I thought you were just supposed to find men repulsive, par for the course of being a woman. I feel like in order to develop as a community we need to deconstruct how much of a taboo female sexuality still is and how hard it is for young lesbians to develop in peace, how we are told that we'll grow out of it, how we get burned by LUGs, how we just need to give men a chance etc. but it all gets shut down because insecure bitches have an aneurysm the moment we stray from the "I knew I was a proud lesbian at 8 years old and never questioned it" path and start throwing a tantrum.
>I have gay male and bisexual friends and envy how they don't deal with this.My girlfriend still clings on to the bisexual label because of this and I can't blame her because it took me almost two decades to be able to even call myself a lesbian due to the highly politicized connotation of the word.

>>315864Sorry nonna, wrote it with a tired ESL brain.
I meant a female friend is how I saw it at that age.
I'm exclusively sexually and romantically attracted to women.
It's just that I was brought up in a society where if you have a bio child and are gay you will have to legaly share it with the bio dad and my partner will not have custody of the kid, having a child and him being in a stable situation to me was more important than having someone I love in my life.
It's not the case anymore thanks god.

I have recently made a wonderful friend but she is too cute. Fuck. There are so many places around here I want to take her. I was studying for an exam earlier but could not focus because of this. I'm happy to keep my libido in check because I value this friendship for her sake and mine but she is hard to look at sometimes. There are some parts of her I don't particularly like but she's thoughtful and open-minded in a way I haven't seen in the other people around me. Talking to her makes me regret not connecting deeper with my old friends during high school because back then I was ashamed of my own hobbies, my own desires, and my own thoughts. I feel it's too late and too difficult to rekindle those as I never told any of them much about myself. Now I'm stuck being attracted to the same friend who brought me out of my isolated pit I didn't realize I was even in instead of having more Female friends to talk to. And either I'm not looking in the right places or there are hardly any interesting women in fiction who are around my friend's age and with her body type that I can direct my libido towards instead because I'm exclusively attracted to bigger women. Sometimes I brave the trenches of Deviantart for fat fetish stuff of Female characters I like already, but I am scarred instead every time. Why did God make me like this.

Nonnas who have uhauled, how long did you know your girlfriend before moving in together, and is there anything you wish you knew going into it? I'm going to move in with my partner soon and I'd like to read about other lesbians' experiences.
No. 317161
>>315833I remeber thinking all throughout elementary school that having crushes was just a weird social game of picking some boy from your class and being secretive about it, bc there's no way they'd actually like them, right??
One time I got really bored of the game and wanted to end it so I went up to the boy my friend had a crush on and told him so, and my entire friend group got annoyed at me. I remember being annoyed at them back too but hiding it, like "this is just a game, it's no big deal, you're being childish right now" LOL
No. 317192
>>317154My situation could be considered uhauling, I personally don't regret it one bit. We had known each other for about 7 months, officially dating for less than that. It just came to a point where we were constantly sleeping over at each other's apartments and decided we may as well save money and time by moving in. Sharing chores also rules, we both get to do way less shit around the apartment and the rent is nothing when you slash it down the middle. Make sure you know about each other's quirks: things like what each person considers adequate hygiene, how often chores should be done, how quiet/loud you want your space to be, what you'll do if you end up having to share one bathroom, etc. My gf and I are both really anal about a couple of things and it created a little bit of friction at the beginning but we got over it eventually, all it took was a bit of compassion and the realization that the other person's particular fixation was not even harmful (even beneficial in some ways). One thing I do miss is getting to determine my own bedtime but because we share a studio and she gets up really early (plus we wanna cuddle) I now have to go to bed early alongside her. Though again, it's actually better for me that I'm sleeping early because I love being awake in the morning.
Moving in together is not such a big deal imo, especially in a city where you're likely to have roommates anyway it's much better to just have your love with you
plus pussy on tap. The big thing is cohabiting for at least a year before marriage and go on vacation at least once with her, imo. I've seen many marriages that would have never happened if these two conditions were met.
No. 317217
>>317192This is a good response right here. And omg, the bedtime thing. She goes to bed way earlier than me so I put her to bed, we cuddle, watch some videos together, and then I stay up for a few hours more. But I miss falling asleep together so on weekends I go to bed early.
>>317154A little under a year but we were a ldr before then and so some people have told us we're u-haulers lol. We talked about everything we could think of before we gave it a shot so we could make sure we'd be compatible so I guess that would be my advice. Go through everything the anon above me mentioned and find out how she feels so you don't have any bad surprises. I definitely wish I had asked about her standards of what's neat or messy because I consider the house dirty waaaay before she does, but tbh that wouldn't have been a deal breaker to me anyway and that's one of those things that's easy to resolve with some adult discussion. Best of luck anon!

Piercings can be cool in small doses but I find many tattoos and piercings to be a ‘look at me I’m so tough and gay’ when people my age who have them would cry if I ‘misgendered ‘them, and think they’re parents are abusing them by telling them to clean their room
No. 318259
>>318248Tattoos are very popular with women where I live. I think they're pretty nice, they can make basic outfits look a lot better because they're so ornate. I'm not inked myself and my gf only has one tattoo in a mostly hidden spot, though. I've not come across anything I'd like to have on my body indefinitely, especially since they smudge and fade which would upset me. I don't associate tattoos with being a tryhard or a teenager but I do assume people with many of them are impulsive, unless their sleeves look very well planned. If they're randomly placed and in too many different styles it's a safe bet to think the person who got them makes decisions haphazardly though tbh.
I'm not a fan of piercings besides ears and maybe the septum. I especially dislike those nose studs or anything dangling from the eyebrow or god forbid some spikes or something from the mouth.

I love talking about books/movies/etc with her. I'm a little worried that if I read it and don't like it it'll bring her down, I remember she mentioned some aspect of it that I was critical of and she didn't touch her book for a couple days even though she was really passionate about it. I think I'll at least give it a try, and if I don't like it overall then I'll just discuss the parts I do like, and the parts I don't like with you nonas.
>>319155Same… I don't know why exactly she left but it seems like she got run off from suspected

I personally have the trans tags blocked because I don't care about the blackpill stuff, tumblr is not so bad when you have the annoying shit filtered lol.

victim complexes can get annoying as fuck. My follow list is pretty small because I keep my dash curated like a beautiful garden kek. The more normal well balanced people join radblr the better, I like my small corner but I’d love to have a larger circle too.

>>319539Kek what was the context of that
nonnie? Were you already seeing her?
I had been getting closer with a co-worker (who I thought was also a gay woman but turns out to be non binary TiF) and then she started calling me gay man/boy out of nowhere… Like we both bonded over liking women and I never made any inclination of being called that, very strange kind of killed the relationship. On top of that she was seeing a guy during that time too, I feel like I lost out on having an actual lesbian friend at work
:/ No. 319579
>>319558One thing I'll say
nonnie is that I'm glad that you're not shitting on yourself for being a lesbian. I'm personally not very experienced (I'm 20, dated a little and
a bit tmi here, but only slept with 2 women. Both were older than me and took the lead so I feel like I still don't know how to please a woman. Roast me if you want) but I can say there are many opportunities for you to date. Just through dating apps I've seen older women (28+) who were open and happy to date. Maybe consider increasing your age range to include younger women? Or date long distance?
I think a big part of how you feel is regret and anger towards your younger self. Right now you are you and should work with the person you are now. Good luck in dating nonna, please don't give up!
No. 319624
>>319579>Maybe consider increasing your age range to include younger women?NTA, but as someone in a similar age range as that
nonnie, I really dislike the advice I've seen and gotten to just date younger women. Obviously, not all age gaps are a big deal if they're 24+ and on equal standing, but not everyone wants to date someone with a gap of life experiences/maturity/generation differences. I personally don't find young women attractive (physically and their typical fashion trends/attitude), I don't even get along with my younger adult classmates or coworkers, and a lot Gen-Z girls who approach me tend to be borderline fetish-y about age differences, even though we're both adults. There are more inexperienced 28+ lesbians than
>>319558 thinks, and I'd personally would love to find someone similar to you and would prefer that over settling for any of the late teens/early 20s women who spam my likes on dating apps.
No. 319780
>>319626Sorry nonna, 8 years is a big age difference for me (I call 18 year olds babies if it makes you feel any better) kek
>>319624Fair point. Honestly younger lesbians can be really weird about age gaps, especially the 'mummy' types. I had the opposite issue when I was 18- a lot of creepy older (40+) saying they wanted me to be their baby girl. Granted they were probably troons but I know at least 1 was legitimate.
I promise not all gen z lesbians are coomers but I'd say probably don't increase your age range. I don't know what your current is but anything less than 4 years (range not plus or minus) is probably too little.
No. 319786
>>319780I know not all of them are like that, but I just don't think it's good advice in general. I and other lesbians my age I have talked to value maturity and having common ground during the eras we grew up in, I don't want to settle with a Gen Z (who again, I find physically unattractive, even the ones who are mature for their age) just because there's more of them. Not to mention age gap stuff only really works as a fantasy, when I was younger I used to fantasize about it, but in reality a lot of the older women who hit on me were either creepy or immature and scared off women their age for a reason. I do think that the later you are in life though, "gaps" that would be weird in early 20s like 5-7 years won't matter as much, but it's case-by-case by the individual people. I 100% understand lesbians who are insecure about being 25-28+ and inexperienced or single, but it's actually more common than you think (I came out as a teenager and still never had a girlfriend yet), a lot of online spaces skew young, so you don't see many openly talk about it.

>>319552>>319700This and this. There's no prominent proudly Female communities on the Internet anymore so Gen Z just spews words that would get them death glares by women they know personally, they just have no idea. No real knowledge of what bothers the majority of women. MILF is especially egregious since it literally comes from porn. I really hope it's a fad and just said because none of Gen Z are old enough to be called that yet, so they do not know the hurt it often causes.
I feel a lot of women on the Internet don't use the word thankfully, therefore including all proudly Female lesbian communities. It's an immaturity thing and lack of understanding manners.
Tangentially, a while ago friend of mine who's a Gen Z, a few years younger than me, started calling me a bitch out of the blue one day as a form of endearment and when I told her to stop calling me that word, I felt old… But yet it was good for me mentally. I think there are a lot of Gen Z girls who hear both completely inaccurate language used to describe them (gay man, twink) and hypersexualized language (MILF, bitch) and feel uncomfortable, yet they have no words to describe their discomfort and shame themselves into dismissing their own feelings because of society around them, and they don't realize/are terrified of admitting that society around them can even affect them so deeply. Without looking into Feminism after realizing I was a lesbian, I wouldn't have made a deal about the bitch thing, but I still would have felt uncomfortable.

>>319978It's not a very long book nonna can you really not finish it? If you're really itching to read a professionally edited and published book about butches in a fantasy setting (rather than fic which is more plentiful) you should be able to get through a few hundred pages…
It's a very angsty story, slow burn features enemies to lovers but the lovers part is yet to pay off in a major way in a future book. The characters are all very demented and described in unconventional ways. Some people draw the characters as 10/10 goddesses but I got the sense that they were all various levels of grimy and slightly creepy while reading, which itself is a GNC choice. If you're masc you'd connect to it imo, even though the author is not one of us the way she's chosen her cast shows an understanding beyond just a het larper. I'm open to eating my words if the last books ends up throwing it all out the window but it's unlikely to occur. As for the story, I find it compelling. The world opens up more and more as you get through the books and the 3rd book finally gives you answers on what the fuck created the mysterious situation the solar system is in. It's a love letter to planet Earth in some ways too, you can see the environmentalist message in it and coming from a Kiwi author that is no coincidence. My only hangup is the characters being on the young side when the story is not YA but Adult fiction. It allows them to be more foolish and the story needs some fools to drive it I suppose but you could set up a story like this with emotionally stunted adults instead of emotionally stunted late teens.

>>320188>Nonnas (especially those older than 26), was the lesbian community always so erased?I'm early 30s and I relate to almost everything this 17-year-old says, ironically. I never lived in a progressive area, so I didn't have a GSA in school or had ways to meet LGB people in real life, and a lot of old school online spaces I missed out as a teenager due to them being 18+. In my "queer" friend groups in the early 2010s I was the only lesbian and the only one not as "radical/queer" identity-wise, words like pansexual, demisexual, and genderfluid existed back then. I ended up feeling pressure to identify as queer/demi-bisexual or whatever because I figured I haven't met the right guy yet, since a lot of "lesbian" friends I had were LUGs. I have a sliver of hope that maybe LGB people over 25 won't care about this shit as much (back when I used dating apps, I selected to only see women aged 27-36 and while there were plenty of troons, enbies and MOGAI types were few and far in between), but most online spaces tend to skew young (zero interest in being friends with Gen Zs) and the 28+ lesbians I meet that are cool tend to be taken, which is why I don't bother. I dunno at this point, lmao. There was never the good old days in my experience.

>>320083Nonna, if you're reading this, you need to do some serious reevaluation of what spaces you're spending your time in online that have produced this kind of mindset. Autism is one thing, but you repeatedly make statements that make it clear that you want to conveniently objectify women while ignoring the fact that they're people. You don't have to want to make friends, but you don't get to self-pityingly bemoan your lack of one-way gratification when you talk like this.
I know people who are like you with the same taste and difficulty socializing, but they don't have issues finding people to talk to. I don't have an issue talking to them. Your attitude is the issue here.
They may not be being very nice about it, but the repliers have all made
valid points about why you're getting this reaction. Consider them and then really look at what you said and go from there if you actually care about eventually having a place to sperg out.

>>320188>Nonnas (especially those older than 26), was the lesbian community always so erased?I'm 33 so here's my experience: yes, it was. However like
>>320295 said, I never got to experience the lesbian community of the early 00's because all spaces were 18+, youth groups for young lesbians didn't exist and if they did they would've been seen as predatory because homosexuality was still seen as a weird paraphilia and thus had to exclude minors. At least this was the case where I lived. But that said I did experience the community of the late 00's to the early 10's, I distinctively remember how most of the lesbians that I knew were just straight people shoehorning themselves into our space, taking over and dictating all the rules. Two diehard lesbian friends who were terminally into queer politics married a man literally after graduation. It's a tale as old as time, even the feminists of the 70's were dealing with political lesbians who were straight women who started making the rules of lesbianism while fucking men on the side. I really don't know why it is, but somehow lesbianism is just constantly under attack and scrutinizing by heterosexuals regardless of gender. It's not a new thing at all.

Have any of you nonas had any luck peaking a girlfriend? Mine is a butch lesbian, and I love her, but she's a TRA – not hardcore, because she tolerates some of my (milder) TERFy opinions, but she watches a lot of TRA YouTubers and frequently shits on JKR. Even though I never bring it up, she mentions transphobia and trans issues all. the. damn. time. Part of this is because it's been in the news recently, but I suspect that she also feels guilty about my low-key TERFy comments and thus feels a need to assert that she's pro-trans. She's a great girlfriend though, and this is the happiest I've ever been in my life, so I'm scared of losing her. She does know that I don't support transitioning kids, and I have told her that I'm "very critical of gender ideology," and she's still with me… so idk. The closest I've gotten to peaking her is with the nonbinary thing, because she's said "I don't know what it means to feel like a woman, I just am a woman"… but she doesn't extend that same logic to trans women.

>>320481Yes, I have. Ngl it was very stressful, she was shocked by my opinions at first. She's still a pronoun respecter but she's a lot nicer than me so it tracks. It was easier to peak her about tifs than tims, dunno why but she's (socially) detrans so I guess she has an insider's perspective on that side of things. We have good discussions on radfemism now and I can tell there's some relief to exist in reality again.
In her case, I think it was harder because she has trans friends. I see a lot of that guilt you mention. And I did get some pushback at first, and I was scared of losing her, but I was raised religious. I can't live in another environment where I'm not free to ask questions or express critical thought, and I told her that, and that's where we started to be able to have a proper conversation.
If you're looking for advice, try to find the areas you can agree on and build from there. Don't try to lecture or debate, come at it from a genuine place of concern and curiosity.

>>319011I recommend sweet and bitter magic. It’s kind of a young adult fantasy. Two 17 yo girls, one is a powerful witch who has had a curse placed on her and the other is a source of magic, but she can’t use it herself. There’s a magical plague spreading across the land and they set out together to end it. There’s a lot more to the story, but I don’t want to spoil anything
