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.

I'm a mega frigid prude I know that about myself already. But I always wondered how people can make out with strangers and their immediate thought not being omg does this person have herpes? Am I going to get it? If they so easily made out with me does that mean they've made out with many others? How do people not think about that? No shaming just always wondered. I'm also a worrier.

I'm really jealous too. I just went to bed early and did fuckall for Halloween, but last year I went to a 'queer' Halloween party. Travelled pretty far for it too, but all I could find were spicy straights and saw the cool cute Brokeback mountain costume butch4butches running away in the background. At least I got free dinner and red velvet cake.

I think about this too and I honestly do think its gross but there's no shame in other people doing it just not for me. There are some people that I know who actually did catch something from making out randomly with strangers in clubs and it has heavily impacten my thoughts on it too. It's really sad that some people know they have something and they don't care.

You're not really frigid for that tbh. I don't kiss randoms either, for the same reasons. People like to risk infections and then compare it to car crash probabilities or whatever herpes statistics to justify their choice. I'm good, I'd rather not carry a bug.

I honestly feel like nowadays bringing up anything exclusive to lesbianism outside of this thread on Lolcow attracts a ton of homophobes to attack you and it's really depressing. I used to enjoy the farms for years and it's what originally peaked me because it was such a female-centric place open to alternative ways of being a woman but now it literally gets you branded as a NLOG or even a pickme because those words have lost all meaning. Love you nonnas ITT though, especially the martial artist anons who have great insight on being a butch and sound hot.

I noticed a rise recently and it is concerning. I think lesbian society and culture is so fascinating and not often spoken about. It's sad that it's so secretive but in a way I like that because I can discover other people's experiences.

I'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.

No. 297588

I feel like it's most prevalent in the celebricow thread which makes sense considering people there are often stans trying to shittalk the celeb rivals of their fav. Anything goes in the Stan Wars, they'll resort to any insult they can to smear the enemy. Like sometimes a female celebrity with a controversial or mildly unusual look will get some lukewarm praise and they have to think of something quick so they go SHUT UP LEZZIE SHE WON'T FUCK YOU.

Some 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.

>>297588
>SHUT UP LEZZIE SHE WON'T FUCK YOU.
Kek I've never been able to read the celebricow threads because of this. Years ago I called Adriana Grande cute either in there or some adjacent thread and some stan was doing this exact "SHE WON'T FUCK YOU SHUT UP" thing in less than a minute.

im a lesbian and im androhomophobic to make up a new term kek
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 fuck
i 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.

I've been thrown under the bus by straight women, bisexual women, gay men, even by other lesbians, but only straight men have actually been a serious threat to my wellbeing and only heterosexuals in general have been outright hateful towards me because of my sexuality.

I have a confession. I haven't had sex in 5 years and I was feeling so lonely last night that I looked up butch lesbian porn on pornhub and there was only like three videos the rest was someone with a T-clit. I wasn't trying to get off I just wanted to see some amateur love making that I'm missing out on. And it made me cry haha. I'm only getting older it sucks. I want to be loved by a hot tomboy who also has a lot on common with me and a great personality lol.

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?

I'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.

>especially the martial artist anons who have great insight on being a butch
Hey, 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.

>>298405
I 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.

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". 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.

>>298411
I'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. 298432

>>298392
Like the other anon said, I am sorry but you might feel like shit especially because you are unexperienced. Ask yourself if you're just sexually frustrated get yourself a toy or just masterbate. Dealing with those physical feelings is easier than the pain you'll feel after you'll feel used, or you'll realize it wasn't what you wanted, or if you get a future partner you're actually interested in. I know right now you might not feel that way but no one is certain on what the future holds. You mentioned threesomes in your post, would you really be ok with that? Even if your straight friends are having 'fun' is it really fun? If you really do have a non-committal and casual attitude to relationships then dating apps would be good for you. Good luck, there are also speed dating in bigger areas.

No. 298433

I shake my head whenever I read posts like that. I didn't know if it was just me thinking that way but I noticed it a few weeks ago. You're male attracted, like so what? I'm a lesbian, why would I care. Nobody makes a big deal of you liking males irl.

No. 298445

AYRT, 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.

>>298432
Masturbating 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.

No. 298450

I am so scared I’ll be alone for the rest of my life. Currently a senior in college and I fear I’ve lost out on my best chance to meet people, given there’s such a high concentration of women my age around here. I’ve been on a number of dates over the years, some a few more dates past the first, but I’ve never really clicked with anyone. I’m worried that I’ve completely exhausted my dating pool in my town but if I expand the search radius I just get a ton of married bi “poly” women who are bored I guess or lesbians who have like, real full time jobs and lives of their own (or just can’t drive, which is a huge turn off). I’ve tried tinder and bumble, and I think any “queer” dating app would probably be a waste of time since I’m not willing to play along with theythems. I know I’m only 22 and it’s not the end of the world, but I fear that it will be so much harder to meet people in the next year or so.

I definitely feel like there has been a weird shift recently I don't remember this much hostility towards lesbians a couple years back but maybe I'm misremembering.

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

honestly it's like this everywhere tbh anon, sorry to say. I'm in a pretty big city and it's the same. I would say avoid dating apps and try to find groups you can connect with women based on interests. There's no guarantee those women will be bi or lesbian but I think I've had better lucking with women joining groups like that.

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.

nta I can believe that a couple polilez ended up here, because I got dogpiled about a week ago for shitting on them with "What do you have against women not dating men?!", when obviously the problem with polilez is that they call themselves lesbian while usually being straight or bi, have weird mental gymnastics and puritan tendencies. Then when others complain about the polilez, they just screech about the evil lesbians and "fat dykes", when the polilez anons are obviously not even actual lesbians. So it's double dose homophobia.

this is so insanely true. two times I've commented on someones husbando looking like a foot and the resulting husbandofags would sperg and dump images of men, resulting in another moid thirst thread in the end. its like their self esteem depends on other women being attracted to their emotional support moid or something

AYRT, 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.

>>298518
Yeah 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.

I hate the way they derail every thread, they're just like /pol/ shills.

DA 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.

AYRT, I know how you feel. Over the past couple of years I've really came out of my shell sexually speaking thanks to a very paitent wife and rethinking why I had an aversion to certain acts (the answer is internalised misogyny, naturally) but I'm sure as shit not talking about it because it's not worth the headache. The posters in here who ask for advice about sex are braver than any marine for running the risk of pissing off the polilez horde, kek.

AYRT I honestly feel like the "way" my sexuality is why I'm still single. I find hardcore fetish shit like BDSM creepy/gross but whenever I'm around other SSA women I tend to like different things than they do visually or sexually, it kind of tied into my gender confusion growing up because I thought I was "a girl with the sexuality of a boy". If I was butch or could cover up my female traits easier, I would've tried to be a "straight trans-man" the moment I turned 18 and I heavily considered doing it. I also have a lot of aversion to a lot of acts and have boundaries involving my body, I've had women express interest in doing certain things with me and I would shut down. I dunno, it sucks.

I believed that I was 'asexual' until I fell in love with my ex and suddenly it was a switch was turned on. I think I find a lot of pleasure of pleasing another woman and only find sex comfortable and stimulating and happy. I used to try to imagine myself in situations with men and it felt gross and dumb. But with women it feels completely different. I would like my partner in a committed relationship to explore everything with me and id try it at least once with them, but this freedom I couldn't even fathom when imagining myself with a man. I always felt sex repulsed but thinking of giving myself to completely to another woman or future wife makes me feel very free spirited. I don't feel ashamed anymore to explore my sexual side or being sexual. Yay for finding out who I am. I a lesbian.

AYRT I don't relate, but that's good for you. I'm still struggling to find someone I can try things out with. I've never considered myself straight, and "asexual" never felt right either (even when I was a libfem I thought the subcategories like "demisexual" was snowflake nonsense). I've never fallen in love though, my ideal relationship is just a close FWB right now, maybe if I had a dating pool I might find someone I feel that way towards, but I have no luck on apps.

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.

AYRT 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.

AYRT, 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.

AYRT, yeah "dysphoria" is a bit of a dumb term but it's easier to say than "shithole misogynist society making me wish I was a moid and slowly poisoning more and more facets of my life". Honestly, walking away from radical feminism (in an organised sense, not ideologically) has been very beneficial for me. For women who harp on about stopping people from trooning out, they sure know how to treat us like freaks and push us further towards the hugbox that is transgenderism. Also their attitude towards sex and how we discuss it is fucking ridiculous. I think some take the Suffragette worship a little too far and end up with a Victorian reaction towards open displays of sexuality. Mysteriously they mostly seem to be intolerant towards SSA women… how curious. Nigel and his porn habit is totally fine! He only watches it twice a week now! But whoa there, lezzie, did you just call that celebrity "hot"? Are you implying that all she's good for is SEX? You are LITERALLY male-brained but if you consider trooning out you're a traitor who's sabotaging our movement (even though we just complain online and do zero offline activism). Go sit on the naughty step and think about how you sexually assaulted that famous woman who doesn't even know you exist, deviant.

ntayrt 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.

Yes! 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.

ntayrt 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

AYRT, that's kind of why it's frustrating to me how so many actual lesbian groups are radfem-oriented when I don't consider myself a radfem and I truly believe most internet radfems are just fed up with trans taking over LGB and porn addicts (as they should). Radfem lesbophobia VS libfem lesbophobia feels similar to how liberal and conservatives are homophobic in their own way. Feminism never really had much to do with my sexuality or so-called "gender" issues though, I felt that way before I discovered political. It feels like unless you're butch or connected to lesbian culture, there isn't a space for lesbian desisters. All the feminine and non-radfem desisters I know of are either attracted to men or even conservative.

AYRT 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.

ayrt 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.
>>298537
I 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.

I 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.

The 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.

It'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?

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.

>>298719
AYRT, 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.

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.

I 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 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.

I'd probably be more popular if I'd move away, since I feel tall everywhere else and mascs are particularly disliked here (not just my feeling or opinion, butches who immigrated to here also said it's particularly difficult)

ntayrt but is this mostly for women that are doing one night stand/ casual stuff? I make sure to get tested and have my partner get tested before we do anything sexual (and an agreement we're only seeing each other). I know sex health/ awareness for lesbians have always been on the backburner for health professionals etc. Should I be more hypervigilant than I am? Also thanks nonie for all the advice.

No. 298969

>>298953
AYRT 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!

This girl who is absolutely perfect keeps flirting with me and i just am so retarded and don't know how to act. She said if I get too tired to drive home I could sleep on her couch, "…or in my bed." It took me like 5 seconds to respond, and all i did was divert the question. One time we were out with friends, and she split off and asked me to meet her at a club down the street, and I said I was already on my way to my car because I was tired and going home. It didn't register until the next day that she was being flirtatious. Tonight we were at a party, and I was flirting with some other girl, which she saw. So that's just gonna make her think I'm uninterested. But in reality she just makes me nervous. Idk how to STEP UP

Since you blew so many chances it could be your mind telling you not to go there. 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!

I have to hold back the urge to jokingly flirt with her, because I know that's wrong and gross. At this point I low-key hope they break up, but that's not likely since I think they've been dating longer than we've been friends. Sigh.

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.

How 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.

I avoid bisexuals for that exact reason kek. A lot of women seem to be interested in me just because of my height, and because I'm a bit masculine they see me as some kind of male-lite. I wish I could retaliate against the stupid "step on me" comments with short jokes, but petite women seem to be pathologically obsessed with their own smallness. If I tell a girl I can't see her well enough to step on her, I need a magnifying glass, she's microscopic, etc., she'll cream her pants on the spot. There's no winning. So as it stands I have to save my short jokes for The One.

KEK, too true. One time in a club when I was just looking to get drunk and sulk on my own I had this ~ petite ~ girl try the ol' "step on me" routine and I just wanted her gone so I replied "fuck off, midget" in a cleary hostile tone and she was like "omg you're soooo funny" and cosied up to me.

I'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.

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.

Ugh, 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.

AYRT, 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.

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.
>>299159
While 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.

I'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.

Probably 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.

Red 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.

I'm >>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 rddit 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. ♥

I agree with you anon about the older people who go out with younger people is because they are emotionally distant or immature. I've seen not just hetero couples, but lgbt couples go through this too. My friend R dates men in thier mid thirties when he is 24 and then ask why they use him as a toy. Even though the dating pool gets smaller for me, I wouldn't date anyone older than me by 2 or 3 years. It's not the actual age gap that is more of the problem, it's the fact that people in extreme age gaps are immature or have issues in the first place as to why they couldn't date in thier age range.

AYRT. 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.

Yeah, 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.

So 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.

I 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.

That'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.

Yes 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.

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.

I 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. My ideal fanyasy is meeting a rando at a museum or coffee shop or a concert. Haha. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank 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.

Funny 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.

AYRT, 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.

When 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.
>>299558
Today 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.

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.

Being 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.

I'm curious, when you got rejected by most of these women were you actually ecstatic about them? Like are you crushed because you were super looking forward to another date with her or with 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 wish I could do that, since having crushes on idealized fictional characters that won't betray me (it's happened kek) is easier than finding a date where I live, but I don't find it fulfilling. 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.

AYRT, I know, I posted in the first thread for advice on if it was truly a fulfilling lifestyle since I'm introverted, gave a hard time finding someone, and was diagnosed with severe anxiety (bordering on agoraphobia) when I was young, but I realized it's not for me. I have a waifuist acquaintance so I know they take it seriously as a real relationship, so if I use it to cope with not being able to find a real relationship it's not the same or welcome.

Nonnies I am currently engaged in a slow burn situation-ship with a cute andro woman I met at a straight bar and let me just say, it is SO much more fun to meet a woman in person rather than through online dating. It's so exciting to slowly get to know each other and flirt a few times a month. It reminds me of how dating used to feel in high school before smart phones and tinder became a thing. It's just so much more fun. I wish everyone could feel this and I'm sorry to all the girls out there on the apps because they are truly terrible and IRL is for sure the way to go. I encourage everyone looking for romance to just get out there in the physical world because you never know who you might meet!

I started talking to her. She's andro/butch and I could tell she was gay right away so the ball was in my court to approach her and let it be known that I'm a lesbian too. I've never had a hard time approaching women and am pretty confident in that area, but I've only gotten that way through experience. Definitely encourage practice! I feel for >>300072 because it is definitely more of a challenge with femme/straight-looking women, and it can be a tricky game best played by letting them approach first.
I'm having so much fun with my little irl crush and I'm resisting the urge to really gush but maybe I will a little bit. She kissed me for the first time recently when I really wasn't expecting it and nonnies, I cannot even begin to describe the feelings that moved through me.

I think my issue with straight-passing women is I'm not butch so waiting for them to approach is mutual.

Maybe a rainbow bracelet or something like that, if they say I like your bracelet I then take that as a sign to let them know I'm lesbian.

Might be a good idea to just approach any woman you feel interested in. If your gut tells you "there's something about her" just follow through and strike up a conversation. Even if she's not gay you gain the possibility of becoming friends with an interesting woman, so there's nothing to lose

I'm not the type to worry about politics stuff but I always wondered if wearing something with the pink and orange flag would make actual lesbians think I'm one of those tiktokkers who identify as a lesbian to be counterculture. I prefer colors more and I don't connect with the axe flag, even if it's a good "signal". Maybe I should look into a necklace of it. Rainbows are nice but they're too broad due to corporate stuff.

Labrys is based as fuck! I always give the nod or say hi to women I see with a labrys (got a labrys patch myself on my lucky leather jacket and it's a great conversation starter). I'm neutral to the lesbian flag with orange, pink and white. I don't hate it, I just think it's a lil goofy for the pink for femmes, orange for butches thing. That being said it doesn't scream bihet to me. It just seems to be a flag/colour scheme that's popular with younger lesbians these days.

Idkk I agree with anons above, any sort of attempt at signaling with pride colors automatically rubs me the wrong way. I’d say certain fashion choices are better signals, like wearing blundstones or dressing kinda tomboyish. I flirted with a femme woman at the store the other day and could tell she was gay not just by the flirtatious nature of our conversation, but also by the gay-ass little chain she had around her neck lol. Oh, and her short fingernails. Idk. I think the focus should always be on having an enjoyable conversation and the flirtation will arise from there if it’s meant to

Yeah, that's why I avoid it (also I'm way too old for that), but I don't really know how to signal since a lot of stereotypical looks aren't my style since I'm neither butch nor femme. I guess I'm chapstick and prefer others like that too, but I know a lot of straight women who present like I do. I remember thinking a coworker of mine was a lesbian because I saw her at another store with a woman that dressed similar to me, but she actually had a husband and kids, lmao. When I wear my hair up with flannel, I get guys hitting on me instead. I'm probably just going to try being more daring personality-wise or something, but I hate how I feel like a "fake gay" for not fitting into these boxes so easy. I used to love the idea of being those people that you can't tell is gay unless they say so, but it feels like being in a closet in itself (I'm only out to people I'm close to).

Honestly as a butch I feel like the one lucky thing about being obviously gay is that women feel safe approaching me as they know I'm anything but straight. The only thing is that in the past few years I've been asked more and more about goddamn pronouns. The kindest compliment I ever had was a straight woman at work telling me she knew I wasn't FTM because I wear nice suits that actually fit me and I co-ordinate my outfits well, kek.

Nah, I'm in my 30s and any kinda lesbian flag will make me think nothing more about the other person besides "gay". You can't invent people/situations in your heads and then take measures against them ad nauseam. Just wear some kind of flag if you're so femme that you never get clocked as gay. It's not a big deal.

I'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]

It'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.

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 enjoy the female fantasies thread and am very sexual myself but the "female celebrities that you find attractive" one tends to disturb me. Objectifying and sexualizing female celebrities and talking about their breasts is such moidbrained behavior and doesn't sit right with me seeing how much women are already being valued by their looks and attractiveness and how often it's a bihet dogwhistle with the skinwalking/admiration angle. Does anyone else feel the same or are people just going to sperg at me for being a cottagecore handholding polilez?

Kek 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.

This is going to be a specific vent, but do any artfag nonnas here ever feel like they have to draw only women to be taken as a legitimate lesbian in an art space?

To 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.

Is it bad that I only like giving and not receiving in sex? My girlfriend is thankfully into it (tho she’s tried a few things on me) Making her feel good is just way more satisfying to me. I also have a really hard time orgasming at all so I’m worried I’ve just convinced myself that I don’t like receiving since it takes so long and is so difficult to get off for me at all that I’ve stopped even trying. Anyway. I’ve heard people say that’s being a stone butch, but I’m not even that masculine so I’m just stone in the sexual sense I guess. I also probably have lots of religious stuff to work through too haha.

Then rope. If single lesbians can talk freely about loneliness and isolation (not hating, I've been there, it sucks and you absolutely should be able to talk to others about it) ITT then those of us in relationships should be able to share our joy without getting guilt-tripping, suicide-baiting replies.

It'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.

I'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.

I'm curious, do you ever genderbend them? I agree that male characters are more often allowed to be interesting but I realized that I love to see female versions in art despite hating male worship.

I've always felt that the people who want to act as if lesbianism is synonymous with complete female separatism are extremely insecure about their sexuality. Me being a lesbian means I love and desire women exclusively, not that I'm attempting to live some XX-only life pretending men don't exist despite me having a father, brother, male cousins, friends, coworkers and people I meet on the street that all affect my life in some way that isn't romantic or sexual, and not to mention how fictional men aren't real and me drawing them doesn't mean I lust after them. I have a ton of bishounen male OCs that I draw because I just like sharing them with other women who are interested in them and it doesn't make me any less of a lesbian than someone who only draws women.

Not gonna lie to you, I had to do work on my end to stop making her orgasms about me. It would fuck her up if I made her experiences about my skill. There were a couple of times I got visibly demoralized actually, but I saw what it did to her and I dropped that shit immediately. 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.

NTAYRT 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.

just wanted to chip in but I try to draw all kinds of things because people just interest me in general. That being said I do end up drawing a lot of women mainly because the range of women I want to see doesn't really exist in popular media so I end up drawing a lot of that.

I wouldn't judge a lesbian for drawing men though lol like another anon said unless you're drawing porn? Then I don't see why anyone would question you on it… seems weird.

I think I'm no longer going to try and find a nonanon lesbian community online. I don't think politics and lesbians will ever be separated online and the best thing I can do for myself is be out when I move out (religious parents) and find normie lesbians that know nothing or don't care about any/all this discourse online. I grew up on the internet and I know it has impacted how I viewed myself as a lesbian etc. and lately I've been realizing that it's just my sexuality nothing more nothing less. I can't change anything and I should work on cultivating the things in front of me in real life.

AYRT, 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?

Based 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."

>advice on how to find healthy connections
Well, 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 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.

I dropped out of school at 15 and my mother told me either get a job or go back so I got a tattoo apprenticeship. On top of studying the art I was also cleaning the place top to bottom and running errands. I worked 8-12 hour days at least 5 days a week and I did that until I had enough talent and recognition to relax my schedule a bit at 23ish. I did have a girlfriend but we were like ships passing in the night and we were on-off because of my schedule killing the romance, I was a total zombie on my days off with no energy to go out. I know how you feel because I finally got away from my emotionally incestuous mother and spread my wings, but I was trapped by the demands of my apprenticeship and being a dogsbody for the shop. It's a very bizarre feeling and a lot of stress, like a lot of tattoo artists I kept it together with drugs and booze. I hope you have a healthy outlet, because you need it. I can't offer you any advice but at least in a few years time you will be reaping the rewards of studying so hard. Relationships come and go but studying for a good job can set you up for life. Best of luck, nona. Stay strong.

I'm living this rn. I started a new job that's taking up all my time (10-11 hours every day) and by the time I get home I don't feel like going back out or interacting with anyone on apps. I really do want to start dating but I feel like I won't have the extra time/energy to put into a relationship as it deserves. I wish I could meet someone at work but almost all my coworkers are scrotes and it's not really a job that you can talk that often anyway. Though a new girl started working there that I suspect could be gay (I hate to assume but dresses very masc and her mannerisms;but I haven't asked her outright) I was hopeful but we work opposite shifts and in different departments so I don't think we'll be interacting much.

When I was closeted I would just fall back on manhate. "well I would like a bf but men today are so weak/abusive/etc".

21 is way too young for me but I honestly don't understand why inexperience is so frowned upon.

Virgin as well.

The pronouns could be to blend in. People are VERY scrutinous with making sure you're capitulating to the gender cult online, so you have to make some concessions sometimes to exist in those spaces. This all goes double as a butch because we're more often than not assumed to be terven because heaven forbid you don't like feminine things for yourself, and then you get dweeby women messaging you something like "omg you're so hot but what are your pronouns?" nearly every day and it can be draining. I know plenty of butches and masc women who put pronouns on apps because of these reasons. That being said, I wouldn't go in to full-blown "I can fix her" mode just yet. Talk to her about current events and segue into gender related topics to gauge her reaction to them. Hell, mention Harry Potter, that alone is enough to make the worst ones seethe.

I 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 find the extremes of both sides really annoying, but there's only so much I can tolerate in my private life. Most women where I live don't do hook-ups or FWBs except the tenderqueer crowd, and even if I don't want to settle down, I'd like to have some common ground with someone I'm that intimate with. 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 would entertain the he/they butches, especially because most I've interacted with had no problem just talking about being masculine women behind the scenes and we shared terfy opinions. The 'he' shit then kinda feels similar to feminine gay men calling each other 'she', not that serious. However I have trouble taking he/they hyperfeminine women seriously, it would feel silly in comparison to me being butch and not caring about pronouns and then I have to walk on eggshells calling someone who looks like Chrissy Chlapecka 'he' at risk of cancellation if I slip up. Plus they are generally the types who think if you're okay with she/her, you must love being a woman and have 0 dysphoria, so they tend to push femininity. Gendie butches generally have a more nuanced view and don't act like you have to change your pronouns to indicate how comfortable you are with feminine shit or whether life as a woman is tough or not.

But I've never seen one like that, a lot of them seem to think they're some kind of man or a "non-woman masculine person" with a face full of makeup and skirt. Or I guess it's like the bio drag queen thing but with more mental gymnastics. Even when I was drinking the gender kool-aid I knew no one would see me as anything but a girl with pronouns.

Hobbies, clubs, exterior organizations. Maybe you have an LGBT group on campus. (Although I'd recommend finding someone from hobbies that aren't just "be gay"

Online dating is generally terrible, but I can definitely tell you as a bi women I almost never get asked on dates from lesbians, it's almost exclusively other bi women. I'm fine with that. (Lesbians give me a bit more of a chance in real life, at least as a person if not as a viable dating option.)

But now I just get quiet, slowly nursed crushes on the women in my hobbies, and it's great!

Really depends on how much the gendie believes in genderism. I have one female gendie friend who had a mastectomy and takes T and identifies as non-binary (yeah, I don't get it either) and I could not possibly date such a person because I'd go crazy tip-toeing around her all the time instead of just on the occasions we hang out. On the other hand, I'll definitely admit that TIFs are sometimes hot, so if I were into hook-ups I'd entertain the idea.

Thank you, nona. It helps that I've been an addict myself so speaking to these people is like talking to a younger version of myself, sometimes.

I have my issues with how a lot of radfems present the febfem life tbh. It's not a key to a life free of abuse because the statistics are better. Shitty women exist. As someone who experienced both DV and sexual assault at the hands of a woman, I've always felt ignored by most radfems when it comes to that subject. I get that it's a hard thing to confront, especially with those statistics detractors bring up about lesbian DV where they misrepresented the data, but it's a disservice to younger women to not bring these things up.

NTA but if anything, we often suffer of mental illness and personality disorders caused by minority stress and trauma from a life of homophobic experiences. My ex was a highly 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.

You'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.

Relatable. I've only seen one Radfem talk about how female-on-female SA can kill solidarity between women. I've felt like an outsider to society for dealing with abuse from both sexes, and Radfems have never really engage when I talk about it, besides "that's just how men are, female abuse is so rare it's basically an outlier, society made them do that". 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.

Very well said. I didn't get to experience all the teenage love and fooling around and learning valuable relationship skills like setting personal boundaries when I was younger because like many others I was in denial and thought I was just "saving myself for the right man", all the way to my late 20's when following a very long and painful journey of soul searching I finally accepted my sexuality. And besides that my family is homophobic and me being GNC has always been a magnet for aggression and disgust from the people around me. Judging from this thread alone it's a story as old as time and it makes me wonder how exactly we're supposed to grow up to be balanced and emotionally stable adults being subjected to all of this.

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.

>>301588
I 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. ♥

One 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. ♥

Yeah, 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.

I'm just gonna be blunt here; why are LGBT social groups full to the brim with ugly special people? They all act the same. It got me kinda paranoid because I realise I'm not much different. We all have ADHD/autism, alt fashion sense, bad relationship with parents. The difference is I don't go on about my tumblr blog or made-up pronouns. They treat being "queer" like it's a subculture instead of an actual sexuality, they're polyamorous, call themselves gay when they're in a relationship with someone of the opposite sex. Maybe it's a generational thing I am a zoomer?

I'm kinda afraid of clingy women, because I grew up as an only child and was forced to be in my room for most of my childhood. Plus I've never become that attached to my phone, I often forget about it somewhere in my home as I go about my day, because I'm so used to nobody needing to call or contact me. I also need a lot of time to recharge after hanging out with others, even though I do enjoy it. So I'm very private, a bad texter and need a lot of alone time, which would nowadays automatically be interpreted as cheating since everyone is always online. I had the best time with a woman with adhd, so she didn't notice that I would take a long time to text back sometimes and didn't even notice I would retreat for a bit after hanging out. Meanwhile a clingy woman would see it as being hot and cold, losing interest etc. I doubt a clingy woman would be happy with me.

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.

Clinginess 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.

Not really directed at you, but it's a general pet peeve of mine that not drinking alcohol automatically makes people think you were a massive addict in the past. 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.

>dating apps are great for mascs since there is a female-identifying masc shortage kek
Not 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.

Not gonna lie, I hate how Lex is 99% kinky tenderqueers and TIMs when the format of the site vibes much better for me than "just swipe everyone and keep your fingers crossed you get a match that will reply to you". I actually managed to get some okay conversations on there after posting a personal that worked as a starter (I just blocked the TIMs/TIFs that liked it and DMed me), although they didn't end with going out since we didn't click, but it was more fulfilling to have just swiping and doing small talk. But I also don't vibe with the userbase being hyper liberal types either.

Are there any active apps or sites that don't rely on matches to message? I'd rather auto block creeps in my inbox, which I did on Lex (I started going online since I was 12ish so getting messaged by creeps isn't new to me) than have a borderline empty one.

I don't want to deanon myself, but it was just venting about the social politics in my state and how it affected me. I got messaged by two loser/creeps that I automatically blocked, but then I got messaged and a somewhat normal conversation from 3 normal people (but one was from someone not interested and just replying to my post and had a mini discussion). It felt more organic, even if I didn't get a date out of it (one woman actually realized we weren't compatible, and it ended). But I just can't use Lex any more than I have because of the lack of real women with non-turboqueer politics, but using the other apps rarely result in matches. I wish different apps or sites with a different format existed.

just downloaded lex the other day and was thinking the same thing, i dont hate it since ive met some cool people and i want more lgb friends. there's not as much pressure as there is with dating apps. like i'm not looking for 'matches' and partners i just talk to people like i would on any other platform and can see what happens. but it's also shown me how many sexpests are in my area lmao.

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.

The only app I know of that's like that is Taimi, but the site is also a scam and encourages unicorn hunters to use it. The women in my area all looked like NPCs and the likes I got were nothing but couples, men, teenagers, and middle-aged women with little in-between.

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 know that's a matter of where I live, but when apps suck at that (or maybe I'm too much of a non-normie sperg for them), it makes me wonder how to navigate this stuff at all.

My ex was from New Jersey and since English isn't my first language me and her would teach each other phrases and things about each others culture. Idk why some people say white people don't have a culture since I would say that state by state there is so many differences and Americans have so many cultural artifacts. She told me that there are special cinnamon cookies sold in the fall time where she is from and I think that was very nice. Since I study language I used her in a lot of projects where I'd record her voice and explain her accent and dialect in American English. I think her accent was pretty but I know to other Americans when I've said that they kind of laughed or chuckled. From what I understand it's not seen as that nice? Good times.

Coming to the USA was so funny because people would look at me funny. I was very small so my accent has now become a west coast American English. It's all about where you spend most of your time. The memes are so funny.ive been accused of being a 'white defender' especially by other lesbians. Like..im in America.

German accent is better than standard Dutch or Danish accent, but Swedish or Flemish is better than standard German. Swiss accent is funnier than standard German. Just my opinion though. Instead what I notice whenever going over the border is that women in Germany are like 10 times hotter to me, more enthusiastic and friendlier, including on dating apps. 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 need a lot of alone time and can't really handle someone too clingy or pushy, but spergs have their own hobbies and understand if you don't respond immediately you could be gaming, doing nerdy stuff, instead of immediately thinking you're cheating.

Honestly, I don't think being a lesbian virgin at 30 is all that rare, it seems most women are too ashamed to talk about it because they internalized that you should be married by then (but in a woke way, 'cuz you replaced "married to a husband" with "wife"). 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. (Or maybe I just attract assholes, lmao)

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?

One of them was a feminine woman so I assume a femme4femme mutual tradthot type deal, but I see some masc women say "no liberals" in their bio too, so I assume they mean they want a nuclear family type relationship but with adoption. It's funny, but also so weird. At this point, I'm neither 100% right nor left wing because I don't trust any politician or party, but so many Log Cabin Republican types I just don't respect because they're so hyper-concerned with how straight people see them.

NTA but as a butch with a "no liberals" policy it's not about the nuclear family model at all, quite frankly that's a ridiculous assumption to make. I break the assumed role of a butch in many ways and wanting a family is completely apolitical. It's a natural desire, not a political statement. "no liberals" is just… no liberals. I don't want to be babied and talked down to because I'm not white and an immigrant. I don't want to hear about someone's white guilt. I don't want to be seen as an "egg", a future troon simply because I'm masc. I don't want my sexuality to be seen as a core component of my personality. I could go on, but you get the point. These are all things I experienced with liberals, hence why I avoid them. I've heard the same stories from other butches too, which is no doubt why we're more likely to put that statement in our bios.

NTA but I'm a butch too and it's ridiculous to pigeonhole all liberals as troon sympathizers who will assign he/him pronouns to you upon contact. To me personally "no liberals" sounds like a dogwhistle for the kind of log cabin snowflakes >>302517 described who would rather throw their entire community to the sharks to be seen as "normal", even if you don't mean it that way. 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.

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.

Lately I've started to come to terms with just how likely I'll die without any experience at all since sex is pure love and intimacy to me and it's hard enough for me to find friends let alone mutually reciprocated romantic interest. I can't even drunkenly make out with randoms on a night out, I feel like I take things way too serious but that's just how I want it to be.

sorry for the incoming blogposting

I didn't lose my virginity until I was 30 and I was super insecure about it forever. I would still never admit it off anon because there's so much stigma in our society regarding sex and dating. I thought it was just me too, but it looks like it's more common than I thought.

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

The issue here I think was the fact that red flags were ignored and your standards were lowered.

I'm in the same boat, but I have no idea where this standard that lesbians should be experienced sex Goddesses by 30, and no woman would date us unless we were comes from. Like, not to be a sperg, but I don't get it. 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.

Yes, but personally I think it comes from childhood trauma and the rejection from her being proof that I'm an unlovable person.

I don't expect anyone to agree with this, but where I live, it's difficult to move out and get your own place due to the economy, prices of housing, and low minimum wage. So I have no problem dating someone who still lives with her parents (because it's cheaper) as long as she had a job and is not a womanchild NEET. I'm currently in that situation too, but my sister can't keep a job and has been in an LTR (her partner has the same situation with living with family). My only issue is if a woman was still in the closet or lived with unaccepting family.

No. 302801

>>302771
In my culture living with your parents/family is seen as normal because it's an emphasis on communal living. I'm out to my parents and while they weren't happy I told them that they just need to respect me and my choices since I wasn't a little girl. I came out when I was 25 as soon as I fell in love (unrequited) with a girl because I didn't want to put my future gf through the mess of hiding her or whatever. I wouldn't mind dating in the closet women as long as they come out eventually but my friends strongly advise against this. They said it was a read flag. I wsnt to give others a chance though, maybe some live in special circumstances.

NTA 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

I 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

>>302852
I 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.

AYRT. 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.

>>302933
I 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.

One thing I will never understand is how younger gay/straight people that have tolerant family/ friends think it's the same way for everyone else. They assume life has always been this open and free. And then judge lesbians that are closeted to their families. I'm 30 so I was on the cusp of things changing and I remember how disgusted society was with gay people. I was like 7 when the first gay men kissed on mainstream TV and it was talked about for weeks. I'm mexican so my family is extremely intolerant/ religious not at all to the same degree as muslin anons on here but we don't live the same life as you. I guess the one plus side to you judging and thinking it's a red flag etc is knowing that you lack empathy and have a narrow view of life- that's the real red flag here.

Yeah, 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. 302962

All this talk about coming out made me realize something shitty about myself so I can see how anons can consider it a red flag. I didn't come out to my family during the time I was dating my ex because I made excuses. I thought "I'll come out when we meet each other irl" and I feared judgement by parents. Like the other anon said, I wasn't ready for a relationship because I wasn't ready to stand up to my parents. I can see how shitty it must feel to be kept a secret but I had prioritized my own convenience over my partner's feelings. Even though just telling one person like a trusted family member would have been a start. There's also that extra layer of commitment, and showing you're serious, by coming out.

Gen Z can be just 4 years younger than you and can still have grown up with old school right wing, Christian and unironic self identified fascist homophobia. This is more a big neoliberal city thing than a younger generation thing, because millennials who grew up in big neoliberal progressive cities also largely avoided homophobia, at least in my country. It's not like being gay is accepted now in rural religious communities. It also extends further than just not understanding being out. I may be out nowadays, but then you get criticized for being a bit reserved and not feeling comfortable just acting like a don juan, flirting like crazy, because where you come from you risk getting beaten for that. I don't know if it's so much muh internalized homophobia and secretly agreeing that being gay is bad and that I would judge another woman for that, which is how it's usually seen. More that I'm conditioned to be afraid and expect being bashed at any moment. Also just because you're out, doesn't mean you're accepted by your whole family. You can be out and still not be able to bring anyone to your family, but many big city neoliberals act like family's conservative christian values are automatically yours too.

God, 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.

Continuing >>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.

I think things are getting worse for homosexuals as we’ve been lumped in with those who promote child transitioning, MAPs, corporate gay, and furries.

I am asking a serious question that I know most will take as bait but I am honestly curious about this.
In the lesbian community what do we think of anal sex? Is it all in the mind as a powerful mental stimulation to penetrate or see our partner experience anal sex practices? I've always wanted to know since we I know most straight women don't like anal and only do it because thier guy usually talks them into, so why would lesbians be into it ?

Eh, 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.

This. I absolutely hate how for example enjoying penetration is somehow turned around into actually being straight because I guess real lesbians are born enjoying only cunnilingus. What feels pleasurable to your body is highly individual and policing each other for it is, as you said, politicizing lesbian sexuality. Some straight women hate penetration while lesbian women can love it. Some lesbians can genuinely like even anal, it's just how things work. You don't get to decide what feels good to you and it has nothing to do with your sexuality if it's still about doing it with the same sex. It's the exact same shit as retarded straight men with their "well if you don't like dick then what do you use dildos for hmmm???" gotchas.

idk why you guys are freaking out it wasn't even about fingering but anal. ANAL PENETRATION and VAGINAL PENETRATION are two completely different things.

Like I said in my previous post it wasn't some innocent naive let's explore our bodies type thing but something I was coerced into several times because she wanted to reenact the porn she watched. I know I'm biased but I can only see anal in that context. We don't live in a vacuum. I think some of you like to be contrarians, pretty much everyone dislikes anal but feels pressured to do it. Haven't you seen porn documentaries on the price you can get for filming/losing your anal cherry?
It's like wanting to fuck someone's nose or golden shower shit. Taboo kink stuff. It's ok to kink shame. You don't have to defend the minority that are into it just because you think I'm calling these women moid brained for liking it (I'm not by the way).

I have trauma with certain sex acts that are considered vanilla or common too, and I can only see them in that context because PTSD leaves a scar on the brain. But I don't say lesbians who like touching boobs or fingering/oral/etc. are influenced by porn or man-brained, I just learn coping skills in therapy, tell my future partners I can't do those things, and not comment on it when other lesbians talk about enjoying it. Most of us have an overlap of opinions with Radfems (I'm not one, and I have dealt with a different kind of lesbophobia from them so I don't associate with most of them, but I agree with them on trans topics/BDSM/anti-prostitution/etc.) so no one is screaming "let me be kinky" or whatever.

I thought about the strange things I'd do as a child that confirmed I was gay. When I played house with the other children I'd be the 'mommy' but the other girl that played house with me would be the 'mom' or mother's. I wore princess dresses and flower crowns and I'd make the other girl wear it too. Strangely enough a lot of the girls I played with and was close to were 'tomboys', some of them refused to wear the crowns I made and when they refused I didn't want to play with them anymore. It's crazy how I'm pretty sure those girls who played wives with me are gay rnow. I only kept in touch with one who did confess to me feelings in high-school but I didn't reciprocate because we went to different schools and I didn't feel close to her anymore. I should have given her a chance since she was one of the girls who accepted my crowns lmao.
One of my other cousins who came out as lesbian asked me if I wanted to play 'sex' with her and I said no. I think I was 11 and it shocked me but I didn't tell anyone. I still talk to this cousin and now I fear that she may have had lots of sexual trauma because they taught her that 'sex' was a game. I think that it's normal for kids to explore each other but I hope it didn't leave her with unsettling feelings.

I made other girl's barbies/bratz have "sex" by laying them on top of each other and making them kiss (well I thought that was how babies were made until I got proper sex ed kek). I also played house with other girls, but would play the father. I think I was aware already of how this wasn't okay, because the one time I tried to kiss a girl, it was in an alleyway where nobody could see. I would always beat up annoying bully scrotes and be the protector to a couple other girls. I know it's controversial to tie this to samesex attraction, but I've also been gnc from a very young age. I also got my first and only girlfriend at 13, I hid it from my family, but on the other hand I was extremely reckless with the amount of PDA I gave her elsewhere kek. Yet I was convinced I was straight and would just grow out of it, because when some people started to notice, I was told it was a phase every girl went through and just something immature. Yes even while having a girlfriend I was convinced I was straight.

Wow, I also did that with the dolls and i'd also only like the other girls dolls. I guess I'd be excited every time I'd take thier clothes off hahaha. I thought human body parts were how the dolls looked like and I didn't know we had nipples for a very long time until I had sex Ed.

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.

My family once flipped their shit because I was playing at an immigrant girl's house and my clumsy ass spilled something on my shirt. She sprung into action, ordered me to take off my shirt, cleaned it at rapid speed at the sink and gave me the shirt back. Nothing sexual about it really, pretty wholesome. My family already felt like she was "using" me, because I helped her with the language and protected her at school, but this was the last drop. Even though it was mutually beneficial, because we were friends, enjoyed playing with each other and she gave me some sort of Romanian cakes with chocolate swirls in them.

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.

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.

Nobody 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.

It's not like I ever say I'm asexual or stupid shit like that, I just act very reserved. If I do express vulnerability early on, they act like I'm being silly and it's not exactly sexy and ruins the mood even further. Idk if I'm really autistic, some people think I am.

Nta this is one of the reasons I'm "self absorbed" and paranoid. I wish I could go back to being oblivious and having zero self awareness.

I think about it all the time and I imagine scenarios during the day to comfort me lol. I think what I mostly like about sex is the highly emotional aspect so I guess I could say I want to 'make love' or the idea of 'making love' is what makes me crave it a lot.

I 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.

Yeah, 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.

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.

I have also been sexually harassed by a woman and it left me traumatized. Sexual abuse is always bad no matter which gender.

>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

AYRT, 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.

>>303837
Yeah, 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.

But it's like a "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" situation. I've known people who used violent kinks and porn to abuse others, so I condemn those things and those individuals, but that doesn't mean we should go after and accuse people who had fantasies about vampires or light bondage/spanking consensually as being the same kind of person. It's so annoying how hardcore Radfems act like they're so smart and above it all, but fall into the same black-and-white thinking as the old school Tumblr SJWs.

What do anons here think about bondage? My gf told me recently she wanted me to tie her up… I don't think I like the idea of it, I've only ever heard this associated with porn and bdsm and she's not into that stuff so it was really out of the blue for me. We are very very vanilla normally, no kinks or anything and we both deal with a lot of trauma so sex is very careful for lack of a better word. I should ask her more because I kind of said "oh?" and that was the end of the conversation at the time, I don't really know what her motivations are.

No. 304089

I like the idea of tying a woman up but only because I've been imbued with brainrot kek, not because I'm ready to stage an ethical defense of bondage. I feel rather guilty about it, as most other lesbians I've met who have developed similar desires prefer to be on the submissive end. Which is not the case for me.

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. Regardless, you should have an honest conversation with her about it.

Nta and not a bondagefag, but I've become on the submissive side, because I'd rather be ordered around and playfully "forced" or have someone strong and bossy enough to push back and speak up, than initiate too much myself and end up making anyone uncomfortable or being/feeling rapey. I don't know if that's automatically from trauma, but I know I didn't get the rot from anything like porn. Should probably go to therapy anyway.

No. 304103

I'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.

If 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.

No. 304106

>>304074
I'm not a kinkster but I don't see much wrong with light bondage.I do wanna say, you can't control what she's into. So if your thought process is "if I say yes and she ends up liking it, it's a slippery slope" then it's not a good mindset. Not saying that is your outlook, but it can be tempting to think we can control a "bad" outcome by trying to nip it in the bud. It won't change what's inside of her, it'll just surface later. It's best to be frank and voice concerns to the full extent when it's a comfortable moment.

>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 >>304106 said it'll surface later if you don't talk it through.

I feel like I can't be that picky in general for several reasons, mostly personal ones. It also seems a general SSA woman thing to be into older women. If everyone is looking for an older woman, what is supposed to happen? Who takes one for the team and goes a tad younger? So I'm open minded to a certain degree, but I'm not looking for a soulmate anyway. Just casual dating with someone who is interesting, attractive and not too annoying. Which is still easier said than done.

Hate to be all judgemental but to me someone "looking for an older woman" is a red flag, either they don't have the social skills necessary to get along with their peers or manoeuvre their social circle so they think an idealized older person will understand and nurture them, so they have unrealistic expectations. OR they want a substitute mommy who takes care of them unconditionally.

Kek that would be funny. No, I guess how tired of life I already sound, how much I already experienced and sometimes sound a bit paranoid schizo. Some I met online first and they admitted they thought I was some 40-50 year old, until they randomly saw obvious zoomer words and had to grab urban dictionary to translate.
>Girl wtf? Of course they’re hitting on you when you look gay. How is that a problem? You must feel so blessed!
I used to have that happen to me back in the day, but not anymore. I really miss it. I don't know whether I got so much uglier or the problem is that I'm still stuck with butch babyface syndrome. Or maybe because being masc isn't seen as a sign of being gay anymore, but that they just assume you're a straight TiF.

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.

reposted a question from the vagina thread because maybe other lesbian may understand better, sorry if it's too much for here.

I think I have a thick hymen, do you need to get it surgically removed ? I can put 2 finger max and it's incomfortable, and I can clearly feel there is a narrowing at the bottom of my vaginal canal before the actual end connection to the vulva. I don't have penetrative sex so it's not a huge issue but I wonder for the futur if it's not better to get it removed when I'm still young.
Honestly if I could get it riped open without blunt force it would be good because it's so painful.

You can stretch it out somewhat, give it a try while being respectful of your body and its limitations (do NOT force yourself into discomfort and pain). If it is indeed thick tissue like you suspect, stretching will not do anything for the long-term, you will need to get it removed surgically.

I hope this isn't a stupid question or anything, but how are dating apps for lesbians? I've never actually used one and have resolved to try it out next year. I've seen pictures online of revolting TIM profiles and the like, but obviously that's just a selection of the worst and I think I'm just overreacting a little bit by being afraid of being harassed by TIMs/perverted moids. I think I might be genuinely happy if I just get to know a woman my age who's into video games and nerdy shit, preferably a fellow autist, someone I can relate to. I guess I don't have much life experience and I'm just kinda immature and insecure, but I think that maybe it'll be worth it and I just need to stop being so scared of things that I'm just blowing up into massive proportions inside my head. I'm sure that dating apps aren't all troonsbians or spicy straights, and I'm just worrying over nothing.

It 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'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).

I wish there was a dating app for nerds. I like anime, games and other shit that makes me too much of an autist for normies.

As a lesbian our dating pool is already the smallest in the community so finding a woman who doesn't get too nerded out by me is so hard. Granted I haven't spent more than a month on an app at once yet because I lose motivation fast.

I just want a nerdy gf who goes apeshit at her nerdy ass hobbies and is fine with that. I feel like most women I met on apps (granted I am a zoomer so the dating pool is TRAGIC) just never seem to click with me or only like my body and nothing else.

I'm just hoping my vidya playing, troon disliking, weeb cake enjoyer gf drops from the sky. I just wanna have dates where we spend the night in, sperg about anime, games and comics and eat the cake/food I make. I wanna be able to listen to her talk about why she's malding at work or how she feels about the most mundane shit. My dream gf would be on the chubbier side tbh and hopefully older than me. I like the idea of being able to learn from her and also see things from her perspective. Someone who gets smug or cheeky the moment she has something up on me would be great too. Someone with gap moe is honestly my ideal. I want her to be so different to what whe comes across as.

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.

Yeah, 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.

If 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.

I 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

>>305305
AYRT. 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.

I am actually on a weightloss journey right now and I am starting to dress exactly how I want to dress and I guess this confidence strikes other people. I don't use apps but the girls that have come up to me to flirt are all super young.
I'm 29 and I also have the same issues as you with younger women. 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.

Same, at this point I'd be open to a long-distance relationship (if it was in the same country of course, I don't want to break my own heart with someone farther away) but finding single lesbians around my age that I can click with is so hard. 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. I wish I could just tell a woman my age I think she's cute and take her out to coffee, but the chances are she's either straight and gets uncomfortable.

On the topic of fatness, I was kinda chubby most of my life, until I turned 20, then I got seriously into fitness and nutrition and now I get a lot of attention from people (most of it is unwanted). I don't know how to feel about it, cause now in my mind all people are shallow and only care about my looks, so there is no point in getting into serious relationship, since they will abandon me when I turn ugly because of old age or some accident.
I know that this is all in my head, but I can't get over that thought, even though I know I wasn't objectively good-looking and know that there should be something that might attract a potential partner to me in the first place.

I'm losing more weight and really like my figure so I think that I'm going to use a high level of discernment when people approach me. Unfortunetly we can't understand or realize others true intentions of each other. We just have to take the plunge because there might be other women who really want to get to know us.

No. 305380

>>305349
To 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.

NTA but I relate. I've also read a lot of women basically subconsciously become fat after sexual abuse or harassment as a way to make themselves invisible. Not to "traumadump" but that's something I wound up doing during my teens/early adulthood. I'm losing weight now because I want to be more attractive to myself and other women, but then the attention I get from men has almost made me relapse. I'm 100% against HAES and "fat pride" stuff, but whenever I see "fat girls are gross" type stuff, I wish more people would keep that fact in mind than assume they're just slobs who eat McDonald's for fun.

I'm going on a date with a girl next week (very excited, we have a lot in common and I hope we get along, this is the first real date I've gone on in years), and I wanted to ask anons how they bring up the topic of being gender critical/pretty much a terf kek, or if it's even appropriate to bring up on a first date. I'm not exactly a full-blown terf (I don't really know where I stand tbh, recently peaked), but I'd rather not date someone who is an uncritical TRA.

No. 305501

This is something I worry about and will read future replies about, but when it came to vetting friends, I tend to be gentle and present myself as having more "centrist" opinions on the topic. I know a lot of hardcore "TERF" types hate that, but people who haven't peaked yet or have dealt with the worst of TRAs tend to be more receptive to things like Chimamanda Ngozi saying "transwomen are transwomen" or "transgenders are valid but hormones and surgeries cause serious health risks (especially for kids) and they have different experiences from someone born a woman or man" (this tends to be the normie opinion where I am), than endless receipts about pedophile AGPs in bathrooms. 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.

No. 305506

>>305272
In a way I guess. I'm not at all attracted to most women that straight men find attractive in media like manic pixie dream girls, generic hot babes or cute/quirky girls next door. I like sassy, assertive femmes the most (my girlfriend is one and she's wonderful) and they're so ridiculously rare because men find them annoying and threatening, and as for butches I like them funny and relaxed while most of the representation is the smug fuckboy kind trying to force a voice obviously deeper than the actress can play.

>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. Yeah, spicy straights are a thing, but they're usually the ones writing all the retarded thinkpieces about how ackshually we should come together to stop heterophobia because straight people can be queer too.

No. 305507

I'm a full-blown terf but I still think it's mental illness to make it your entire identity to the point you would bring it up on the first date or bring it up at all. I have trans friends and most of my friends agree with the trans rhetoric and that's just how it is, I can still have discussions with them. Hell even my girlfriend is okay with trans people. Most people agree about Jessica Yaniv being disgusting and how women have no masculine role models, but have adapted the "live and let live" mindset, like >>305501 said throwing receipts of AGPS perving out at bathrooms or all the schizo "spitroasting TERFs" tweets isn't constructive at all if you want them to understand your point of view.

As I am feeling lonelier my taste and fantasy of women have changed. I do not consume pornography but my fantasies are getting wilder. Does anyone have any tips for grounding myself? I thought lesbian loneliness was just a meme, I have good solid friendships so I'm fine but whew. So far to combat this irregular thinking patterns I just go to the gym and put music and plan things in my journal.
I guess I have been feeling this way because I looked at the lesbian events in my areas, I am not a party goer so when I looked at the photos of the women there I felt sad because I don't think that what I'm looking for is there. I also felt sad that there are hardly lesbian cafes or even lesbian cocktail bars or restaurants and I live in a super liberal place and it caters mostly to gay men. I had the courage to go to a cafe/bakery but it got shut down sadly, I'm thinking of making my own meet up in the city where I can make some sort of book club or something.

I 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.

I'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…

AYRT. 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.

Dang you anon for having logic.when I get better from my cold i'll go in January. If it turns out to be a nice place I'll report back. I have a lot of self control so I guess I'll be fine.

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). This year I'm breaking out of my shell and actually trying to talk to people online, and it has been without success but I'm trying really hard for self improvement to not be a lonely lesbian meme. Wishing you the best this new years as well anon, may your wishes come true.

NTA but this is what I want to know too. I'm personally against surrogacy and am pro-adoption (not shaming nonnie, just explaining my veiws), but wouldn't IVF be fine for lesbians if their own eggs are being used and not someone else's?

No. 305921

>>305918
I'm usually anti IVF but imo it's only okay for lesbians to do it since they often get sperm donations and you don't want to constantly cycle through sperm to get pregnant. The issue with IVF is that it has a predatory history on women, it puts a lot of damage on the woman's bodies via constant hormonal injections and can traumatize women with increases of miscarriage and other birth defects. I remember hearing anons in the baby thread talking about how many IVF babies end up in the NICU and taking up space that could've been used for a baby who's parents had no control over different defects

No. 305930

Future mom anon, that was honestly our first thought too. IVF is extremely predatory, and some places are shady and awful. There’s a ton of horror stories about doctors using their own sperm, or not checking the donors background, among other horrible things. I definitely acknowledge IVFs shady background

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

thanks! she fucking ditched me with no explanation! i hate to be a downer but this wasn't just my first date with her but my first date with a woman ever, i'm so upset ugh. i've put off dating for so long because of mental illness and not being confident or ready to come out so this is a great start.

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.

I think it's cruel that anon was immediately trying to shame you for IVF when lesbians have literally no other choice if they want to reproduce, don't mind them. I know straight couples who have gotten healthy babies via IVF and not all fertility clinics are seedy back alley scams telling lies to their clients and intentionally hiding the risks. I don't want to start a whole "noooo but reproducing isn't a human right" thing here, I'll just say that people getting children via IVF are most likely the kind of parents who really want the child and plan ahead, so the kid is most likely to be brought up in a stable, nurturing environment. Studies also support this claim, the price tag alone drives away unfit parents. I'm sure you'll be fine and you'll have a wonderful little family with your wife.

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.

Well 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.

Not 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.

>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.

She was really shy and quiet, which gave me mixed signals. I didn't want to suddenly touch her and freak her out.
Do any nonas have advice on how to initiate touch / a kiss during a date?? Maybe this chick and I just aren't a good match because I usually don't need a gameplan, I just know when it's time. This is different though and it's weirding me out.

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.

AYRT, I know but it still frustrates me how being a lesbian is often seen as a marker for having the "right" politics or being enlightened when it comes to gender critical types (I'm GC for the record), or the opposite if it's around libfem homophobes. I do notice a lot of straight and male-preferring bi women tend to have a switch in their brain turn off when it comes to leftist politics. One of my irls is a "queer" bisexual girl in a LTR with a man, and she complains about capitalism and being forced to work shitty jobs to get by, but when it comes to sex work she goes "they choose to do that and it pays a lot", even though I don't see her becoming a stripper or making an OnlyFans despite considering it an equal job to fast food. 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 women (unless it's a TIM, aka not a woman).

I 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.

I think some aspects of third wave feminism were well-intentioned and useful; if I could turn the clock back and have that be the feminism now, I would. I've read some radical feminist writings and despite internet Radfems labeling common sense like "women are females" to be an opinion only they have, it's still a specific ideology I don't completely agree with. But when most people say "liberal feminism" it tends to be fourth wave, which is where a lot of this "men are the most oppressed women and having sex for money is the same as food service" nonsense stemmed from.

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?

My friend was a while ago. She walked into a bar with her gf and immediately these two asshole moids said ‘FUCKING GROSS’ loud enough for the whole place to hear. They ignored it and went to buy a drink while the two guys were giving them death stares the whole time, when they went to the bathroom afterwards one of the guys started stacking up chairs in front of the bathroom door and trying to barricade them in while laughing, until the owner told them to stop and threatened to kick them out. When my friend got out of there she just left as quickly as possible. They were pretty upset about it but luckily it didn’t turn violent. I have head some more horrible stories about lesbian women getting beaten up and sexually assaulted and stuff though which is really scary.

I'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.

I used to know a girl whose girlfriend was killed by a guy for being a lesbian. He was going to rob her and she mentioned that her girlfriend's dad is a cop, so he just shot her, this was decades ago. I've been sexually harassed by girls for being suspected to be gay since I was socially awkward and never visibly interested in guys (no, it wasn't "hot" either, I froze up and made me borderline asexual growing up). I've never been in a relationship, but I live in a conservative area and tend to be private about my sexuality, so at this point any future girlfriend has to be okay with no public PDA unless it's in an LGB space.

How do I get over some of my internalized homophobia and make friends with other lesbians?

I have almost never gotten along with other lesbians. My girl friends are all straight and I have one straight male friend. I have a long term girlfriend, but she can't be my only lesbian friend! I can't help but see other lesbian women as "competition." I used to live in a very gay-forward/friendly city and the amount of infighting/cheating in lesbian friend groups that I was satellite to was insane. Maybe it's a plague amongst very young women, and it peters out the older you get? I'm 28 so I wouldn't want to be friends with anyone younger than 25.

I used to be sort of friends with this other woman during coof quarantine, but that was because we matched on tinder first and wanted to hookup before the attraction faded. After we were both partnered the talking stopped.

My girlfriend says it's internalized homophobia, I think it's insecurity rooted in an unfortunate stereotype. Is it even worth being friends with other lesbians IRL?

No. 307325

>>307316
I 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

>>307325
Thanks 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.

Where did you make your friends? I'm not in school and work pretty long hours from home so it's hard for me to get out on weekdays. I'm also sober, so bars and clubs are out for me too.

I'm single but I know a big reason why I don't get along with lesbians isn't because of competition (most women aren't my type), but I tend to compare myself to them for some reason. I tend to not relate to most lesbians and their experiences with that, which is stupid, since everyone is different. I also don't want to be friends with anyone under 25, but a lot of lesbians IRL tend to skew younger, which feeds into illogical complexes I have. I don't use apps anymore or live in a city so I don't even know where the single non-Gen Z lesbians that are cool are at.

AYRT, 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.

No. 307383

I 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.

It does take a while, depending on what kinda person you're looking for.

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. She’s a great girlfriend and I shouldn’t get so worked up over a throwaway comment.

No. 307506

I think you should tell her you don't like her saying that. If you don't want to get into a serious conversation or debate trans issues, you could just say something like "hey please don't say that, I don't like it." If she respects you and cares for you that alone should make her stop.

>>307504
The things we say during sex are absolutely not just random thoughts, she's probably imagining you with a dick to get off some of the time. Especially if you're dysphoric you better run the fuck away. She is not 100% gay if she's longing for you to have a dick and she might have been lying about never having fucked someone with a dick.

It makes everyone seethe because the gendercrit tradfags will call me a NLOG and the genderists a TERF dogwhistle, but both want to shame me into becoming more effeminate or just troon out. They're never catching me because I'd rather be a sexy cool butch than a balding manlet with a frog voice.

It's more about the convenience than some heterosexual "ooh dicks are so sexy" thing.

I was shocked that I genuinely like it more than fingers/oral/etc. I've talked to lesbians who say using straps is better in a way, because men are so selfish and don't focus on the women's pleasure, just their own, but with strap sex it's all about the receiver.

Would 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?

With your added comments now it really is starting to sound like the only reason you won't troon is that it wouldn't turn out perfect. So yeah sounds like gender envy.

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.

sage because sperging but shout out to the other lesbians at work who called me butch. no idea if they’re parked but they’re so far removed from gendershit it’s so refreshing but also so sad that there’s so few women my age who are just lesbians and not also some flavour of “queer”.

Tbh I think you should just ask your friend straight up why she's they'ing you. I've done this before and there's always some stuttered "y-you just have this vibe" type shit but it's usually circumvented by pointing out that a crewcut does not make me less of a woman, and if they get annoying then I call them transphobic for trying to police my identity or whatever lol.

Hit it off like crazy with a girl I met online and I know she's a radfem, too. Whether it's as a friend or something more, I'd really like to get to know her more. Thing is, there's not a single person in my life who would approve of my GC views, so I'm paranoid about being found out in some way… Alternatively, I'm also worried that I'll come to like her too much but have to keep her separate from the rest of my life. What should I do? I know that she's at least partially in the same boat as me with a lot of gendie friends she's not open about her views with.

I disagree with her politics and dislike Stone Butch Blues, that's about it. I'm not butch or connected to lesbian culture but it was recommended a lot as an "essential LGB fiction" but nobody warned me there's literal rape-by-deception in it (it's been years so I don't remember if it was criticized within the novel, but the butch protagonist goes stealth as a man and has sex with a straight woman, she doesn't know "he's" a female) and the butch ends up with a TIM at the end. I do think it's interesting though that gendies worship her, because while she was a TRA (protested Michfest) and was pro-TIM, thought butch wasn't lesbian-exclusive, she also supported TIFs being considered women and lesbians, which is a "TERFy" view too.

Ntayrt 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.

Not 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.

I 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.

Does anyone here feel cautious about lesbians or other women that obsess over being gnc? I never had a specific preference but I preferred masc and alt women.

I 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.

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.
>>309917
If 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.

Honestly, 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.

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.

Turned out to be a retarded rant, but I guess this post just flipped a switch in my brain and I had to get it out since it's a hot topic ITT once again.

I personally don't think those categorizations are common, at least not like with gay men, but some people do think "butch" is a bodytype as an example. As in either very muscular, but more often than not the stereotype that butches are fat. There are enough retards who think those two are inextricably linked, like on Lchat as a small internet example, where it's almost used as a synonym for "fat".

In my experience lesbians generally aren't as obsessed with body types as gay men are, their culture is so centered around it that a lot of young gay guys develop eating disorders and gym addictions in order to be seen as desirable and then twinks troon out after 25 to desperately preserve their looks. If you're skinnyfat or chubby (not in a strong hairy muscular bear way), you're practically un-dateable in their dating apps. I guess there's a subset of fit gym-going muscular butches but I think that's more of a lifestyle categorization than body type.

Personally if I can't quite see the shape of someone (say, her chest) then I don't speculate about what's under there, if there is no expectation or imagined version of her body then I can't be disappointed.

I think a few other nonnas share the sentiment of not really caring too much about build so long as it’s not extreme ( obesity or emaciated bodies). I usually tend to crush on girls with average BMI type shapes. I love hiking, so my only requirement for “builds” would just be having enough energy to hike- which doesn’t require a lot of strength. 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.

It 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.

This 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.

I 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. Gnc4gnc can be fun! I like that we can joke about this stuff fully knowing we both hate the tranny cult, it's important to have a positive outlet for societal alienation.

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?

Obesity is a turnoff (I'm chubby and that shit seems excessive to me kek) and so is eating-disorder level skinny. I like how women have soft skin and nice fat deposits but not so much that I'm being engulfed by jabba the hut.

Height wise my only requirement is be taller than 5 feet. Nothing against the shorter girls but it's too big of a height diff for me (I'm 5'5 and all people I know >5'0 are literal children, can't get that image out of my head).

I am on a diet now for health reasons, but none of those things ever affected my ability to land someone. There's a seat for every ass.

I'm not particularly picky which I'm sure helps, but like. I think just having good hygiene and having a kind personality go a long way honestly.

Yeah 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.

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.

>>310663
For 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.

NTA 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.

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 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.

That'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.

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.

First 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.

Well, 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!!!

Dear 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

I'm also from a North African country, although I finally left it not long ago. I was also terrified of using apps for the same reasons as you but I'd managed to get a girlfriend back home and we were in a long distance relationship (didn't work out too well in the end unfortunately lol). 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

that's true. apart from the outing thing it's not really the apps themselves i am already just not the type of person to post pictures of myself online anywhere and i haven't ever. it was initially due to insecurity from childhood to adolescence which in retrospect i am grateful for but due to that i'm so not used to having my pictures up at anyone's disposal at any time that it's evolved into paranoia kek, i know i'm not that important of a person but just the possibility of others having that freedom freaks me out. so i know it's a good part my own fault and something i need to work on.

oh i didn't know you could do that. i was under the impression tinder wouldn't let you make an account unless you showed your face, since i know they ask for verification. thanks for letting me know ! now that i have that in mind i'll probably give it a try.

>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)
>Tinder
That 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?

I wish that lesbian spaces online were allowed to be a bit more apolitical. Sometimes I don’t want to talk about radical feminism, and I definitely don’t want gendies infecting the group. I wasn’t old enough back in the late 00’s to early 10’s but it seemed so much better.

To be fair, this only is true for gay men.

Same. 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.

Looking 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.

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)

Use tinder it’s low effort, low quality and high volume so you can use it as training wheels before moving on to better ones like Her or Hinge (area dependent).
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.

I desperately want things to work out but wondering if I'm trying to force something that's not meant to be. I feel like such an asshole sometimes. Every relationship of mine has the same trajectory, the problem is obviously me and I don't know how to fix it.

What do nonnas here think exactly of "gold star" lesbians? I don't see how it's anything to be celebrated since it's just a narcissistic superiority thing to me. What's there to celebrate about being superior to lesbians who may have been raped by men? Who were young and had their still-figuring sexualities used as a grooming point by men? The amount of "goldstars" who say that any lesbian who was raped is automatically bisexual is concerning, why do they think like this?
It's like scrote behaviour, wanting women who haven't been "sullied" by men.

Gold 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.

Never 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. It sounds like you're bitter because you don't qualify as one yourself, and like you're making shit up to justify why being a gold star is totally a bad thing, u guise. Also, what >>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.

Agree 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.

No. 313766

I'm so annoyed right now. This girl claims to be a lesbian but has dated multiple males and literally admits to being afraid of men being the reason why she doesn't date them. She was talking in detail about all the ways this dude was having sex with her but sure, definitely lesbian.

Who are they supposed to be picked by, exactly? Tell me which society hugely celebrates never having or wanting dick.

>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.

Based as hell. This conversation reminded me why I'll never date a bisexual again. The hatred these women have towards lesbians for a simple two-worded phrase that details their personal experiences is absurd. When they whine and cry about how comphet made them have relationships with men all throughout their entire lives, it feels like they're trying to say "I'm definitely totally 100% lesbian, it's just that uh, I couldn't not fuck those men in the past, so hey lesbians please can you date and fuck me pretty please?

NTA 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 >>313800 >>313794

Sorry 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.

I was the anon she's responding to and I was talking about women who've had one partner as well. 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. >>313830 I'm not denying you language, I was politely bringing up a facet of this that you may not have considered because online conversations are always revolving around spiting the out-group instead of considering the in-group lately.

Ayrt, that's interesting, I hadn't heard the term silver star before. You gave a really good example because I was raised religious and in that world dating (or 'courting') someone prior to marriage was basically being like being acquaintances, like chaperoned dates, group outings, mom and dad in the room while you watch a movie, etc. And then once you get married you're thrown in the deep end of the pool essentially. I've known women who were incredibly traumatized by their wedding nights and lots of girls were very nervous about it because what if you don't like it and then you're just trapped? I knew a couple people who fooled around prior to marriage just to find out. So I can see something like that happening very easily.

Are there any actual lesbian dating apps that aren't infested with troons, libfems or handmaidens like please. I'm so tired of faceapp catfishes, I'm so tired of seeing "girldicks".
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?

Doesn't help that the language around women having sex is so weird, often you're told it's gonna hurt and you're not gonna like it but you'll eventually enjoy it. 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.

The woman calling her victim "holes" is the worst. Jesus Christ.
If you want advice from an anon talking out of her ass, look for women to date in hobby groups. If someone doesn't clarify they're dating a moid or just looking for "holes" to fill, you can complain to people in the group she knows in real life/online so she gets consequences for her actions. People who don't clarify that type of thing are wasting their own time as well as their victim's. One of my fears regarding dating apps is that there's no accountability, a serial liar can go on there again and again…

I'm also gold star but didn't accept for years that I was a lesbian and just thought I hadn't met the right dick to convert me because being homosexual simply wasn't an option to me. I don't know what kind of life anons who were just born out of the womb fully understanding and accepting of their situation but not everyone had the luxury of doing so.

They're never gonna accept they lucked out on knowing early and excluding self-hating bisexuals is more important to them than having lesbian solidarity with the few of us that do exist.

It's curious how the self-hating gay man in denial is such a well-known stereotype, but as a lesbian if you didn't have your identity always figured out and magically found like 20 other teenage lesbians to date in your youth you might as well be a lying bihet. 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.

I'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".

It honestly gets suffocating how lesbian is seen as a political view, from all sides. I have gay male and bisexual friends and envy how they don't deal with this. This was another reason why I clung onto being "queer" instead for so long.

Very relatable. 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.

Unrelated to the current topic at hand but my god am I sick of homophobic people and I just wanted to rant a little. Me and my wife had to go purchase a new mattress, which already sucks, but the saleswoman would not stop making nasty off-handed comments about 'tomboys' when I was doing innocuous shit like looking at sheets or testing how soft the mattress was.

Thinking about the comp-het debate I do have to say as someone who always wanted kids I kind of have a weird experience. Since I was around 6 years old I would see myself having an household but not living with the man that would be the father of my kids, I would live with a female friend instead. Later in life all my friends are straight, and I don't know any lesbian. I kind of conditioned myself to be friendly with the moids I could be great friend with incase I need to marry a moid to have kids. Since now lesbian couple can legaly get sperm donation and be married in my country I don't feel that "need" as much.

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.

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.

My 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.

This 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.

A 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!

Going to be real but the nonnas here saying they u-hauled after just a few months terrify me, one of the reasons why I've been willfully single for so long has been that the lesbian u-haul stereotype seems to be so real and I want to get to know each other really well before even considering moving together as I value my personal space too much. Maybe after around 2 years of being together without too many problems I would be willing to do it.

Tattoos 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.

Ah you're right, tbh it would be worth it just so we could talk about it together. I love talking about books/movies/etc with her.

1st ayrt, no way lol, i feel like we're all circling each other like ghosts on radblr cause no one wants to guess wrong and get called out for it. I feel like my blog doesn't exude farmer energy at all so I'm always curious who i see around that I also talk to on here.

>She could always be casually gender critical or just not drinking the TRA kool aid without being a hugely passionate terven witch
She's a radfem or at least strongly rf aligned for sure, when she was active on tumblr she followed me (and I'm guessing other radblr blogs too)

My blog is starting to collect mostly radblr mutuals but I'm not sure how to drop hints on being a farmer. My url is not a variation of rad or lavender or feminist or terf
maybe that will be a hint since those are common kek. I am not a radfem either because I do not believe lesbians and OSA women can have enough solidarity to liberate ourselves, but I do agree with many radfem views. Maybe she was like that but idk really. I'm dyke focused and enjoy the radblr girlies who are lesbian and tolerate some bisexuals now and then.

Is making a tumblr worth it? I lurked radblr for a while and at first I liked it (when I was only following/reading lesbian blogs) but then I found the wider sphere and holy shit the insanity and infighting. I don't want to just lurk around in hopes of finding random lesbian cryptos but I also don't feel like getting involved with all that other shit either. I just don't want this thread to be my only source of online lesbian community lol. I used to use reddit but my fave sub was nuked and the other one has been colonized by troons.
>>319221
I don't know if it was that pic specifically but I'm sure it's a big part of it. She's quite possibly the only lesbian artist on tumblr who's talking about pussy and short fingernails and that's basically as good as a hate crime on that website these days.
Again, I really hope she comes back and it is just personal stuff. Picrel is my fave, I think I might've posted it here before.

It's worth it but don't actually fuck with radblr too hard. You can just meet people like me who are in that orbit but don't identify as radfems and then slowly meet their mutuals and grow your circle that way. Most of my mutuals are some brand of rf but they don't mind that I'm not one of them, I'm clear about my stance on all that. Imo don't be crypto, you can attract cryptos by running an openly based blog anyways. 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. What I do wish is for my mutuals to stop reblogging from male accounts but they don't feel like checking if the horny post is made by a male account or not kek

The radblr experience is entirely what you make of it. If you only follow people who don’t get into insane drama, you don’t run into any insane drama. I’ve gradually unfollowed pretty much all straight (and bi radfems with boyfriends), their nigelposting and 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. sorry, I’m not a lesbian, just a febfem, but I saw you anons maxineposting from the front page and I love her work dearly

Kek 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 :/

I know everyone in this thread hates angst but I need to let it out. I didn't admit to myself that I'm a lesbian until my late 20's to early 30's despite being fully aware of it since I was a teenager, and I genuinely want to fucking rope thinking about all the missed chances I had as a young adult. Girls would throw themselves at me and I would push them away because I was horrified of confronting my own homosexuality. I missed out on experimenting with sex and romance because I didn't want to admit that I was a lesbian. Now I'm older, reached the age when most LUGs grow out of it, bisexuals settle with a man and the rare lesbians have been married for years. I feel hopeless knowing that the internalized homophobia that was hammered in my brain in my youth ruined me and forced me into denying myself love and now I'm too much of an emotionally broken mess to recover and as an inexperienced piece of shit I'd just be an embarrassment to any self-respecting woman, if I even developed my damaged fucking self into reciprocating love. Each year it gets harder to accept that I'll probably be alone until my death and it's making me want to end it all. Sorry.

One 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!

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.

This was my experience on dating apps, it's so weird and gross. I'm not even 30 how tf am I a MILF or mommy? What is wrong with gen Z? I feel like people weren't that retarded when I was early 20s, I saw 30 year old women as adults and I didn't view women as 'old' until they were like 40-50+.

I don't even go for anyone younger or older than 3-4 years and that's my experience when I get messaged by girls on Lex and flirted with in friend settings. My likes on apps are mostly from younger women who mention liking stuff that way, but I'm just a normal late-20s seeking a relationship with someone similar. Not to sound like a prude, but I feel like since a lot of Gen Zs had access to phones and internet at a younger age than adults my age did, so they get a lot of ideas about sexuality and sex from porn (I didn't even see porn online until I was 16, and a moid showed it to me).

Fair 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

>>319780
I 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.

This 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.

25 year olds can be milfs, unfortunately. Milf specifically sexualizes the act of pregnancy and childcare, not age. So yeah if she's actually given birth sure.

No. 319921

then your understanding of the term is incorrect. milf literally means "mother i'd like to fuck". they can be 18 with three kids or 50 with one, doesn't matter. the fact they are 1. a mother and 2. (presumably) attractive is what denotes a milf. it is a fetish of the fact a woman had sex, went through pregnancy, birthed a child, and is a mother to said child, while also being attractive to the observer.

AYRT, but women over 25-30+ tend to get called milfs by younger adults even if we don't have kids, I have. I guess the term is morphing, but it's both fetishizing motherhood and being quote-unquote "old" but still attractive, either separately or the same time.

Are anons in this thread daft? "MILF" is used to refer to women older than you who often happen to be the mothers you know. It doesn't mean "woman who gave birth I'd like to fuck", trying to bargain that it can ackshually mean a teen mom is stupid. It's just that gen Z has severe porn brainrot and they legitimately do see women aged 25+ as "mature mommies" who exist to be a collective fetish since who the fuck would like an older woman as a person and not some kind of a paraphilia etc.

Also I think the young women hunting for older women on dating apps are just pillow princesses who want to be spoiled, they're not looking for company that's equal, they're looking for a substitute mommy.

Literally one of the main reasons why I stopped using apps besides the TIMs and spicy straights/bihets.

Extremely late to the Gideon the 9th talk but I would really appreciate a review if any of your nonnies have read it. I was gifted this book for Christmas and tried to read it a few times but the writing style kind of put me off, then I learned all the other stuff about the author and idk, I just haven't touched it again. If it's a really good story then I'll power through it though. I'm desperate for a story about actual lesbians and especially butch or GNC women.

It'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.

How many actual lesbians post here and how many are LARPers? Are there doxxers? Should I be afraid?

I struggle to feel attachment to real people even though I can feel compassion. I love cute fictional tomboys.

Have you tried talking to someone without centring the conversation about yourself or speaking straight away about how much you like other women and the specific type. Honestly the way you speak about tomboys and how you dislike people and your preference in staying indoors since "it's boring" is pretty scrotish and I'm not surprised that other women wouldn't want to talk to you since your pretty much self-centred and unwilling to listen to others as a good conversation is a two way street.

There's a whole cast full of women (10+) that the narrative focuses on.

I love my girlfriend so much. I've never been so attached to a person before (not in a BPD way), but I sometimes worry myself to the point of anxiety over her safety. I always want her to be happy and healthy, and I can't wait until the day we can move in together so I can make sure that she is. Her health is a huge concern for me especially, since she has some health issues that she was born with. She's had some near death experiences in the past because of it, and people with her condition generally have a lower life-expectancy. I know that's a ways away, but I can very clearly see us spending the rest of our days together so it's something that pops up in my head on occasion. I find solace in the fact that medicine gets even better with each passing day, but I still get so worried sometimes.

>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.

Question, how would you nonnas ITT describe your style? I used to really dislike the idea that lesbians dress a certain way, and the way some people would say they wear xyz item BECAUSE they're gay, etc. But I feel like that's a) less of a thing nowadays as (some) socities become more liberal and b) just my general disdain for being told how I should be.
So I'm curious as to how the you all would self-describe.

I agree with you. Her stated desire to be in spaces where she can be around and talk about hot women without having to connect with them on a personal leve, in addition to the obsession with
tomboys and somewhat aggressive differentiation from butches is all so scrotish to the point of incelism.
>>320083
Nonna, 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.

I can believe that this is a terminally autistic NEET woman, but this isn't some kind of an objectification thread where you can come to talk about how you're not "attached" to women but still want to talk about how hot the ones filling your niche are. Many anons here lean towards feminist beliefs or at the very least want to reach out and respect other women so it's not exactly a wise decision to talk about how you're not "interested" in women as people despite claiming to be a lesbian. Go out and stop walling yourself inside your home, or do you want to be a NEET in your 40's too? Go to school, get a job, join a community. Learn to get along with people and make compromises.

>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.

I love how you've completely missed the point in everybody's criticism. Being into tomboys isn't an issue, it's everything else she said and how she said it that's the problem. Stop projecting your own past bad experiences with nonnas on this site onto an unrelated issue.

(I'm the anon you mentioned) That gave me a flashback memory to when I was a teenager in the 00s, I went to therapy to have a space to talk about the homophobic abuse I was going through (I was closeted to family and therapists would only disclose things to parents if you were doing something illegal), and the therapist asked me if I was a pedo at one point. It was such a weird slap in the face, since she was pretty nice and liberal otherwise.

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.

No. 320516

Yes, 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.

So excited to finally be able to sperg on this thread about this: I think I’m finally going to get my first official, real-relationship gf (as opposed to a hookup or comphet moid date)! I’ve been going on dates with this girl for a little over a month (we’ve had a little peck on the lips but nothing more) and I think I’m going to ask her out officially tomorrow during our date. We’re both pretty shy and inexperienced so we’re moving kind of slow, but I have a strong intuition that now is the time to make a move. No more being a useless lesbian!

Related, does anyone have any advice for asking someone to be their gf? I’ve never been the “lead” in these situations (always had other people leading) and I get awkward when I’m nervous…

I 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

i was bored yesterday so i went to couple of local bars and got drunk then i sat down next to some group of people and one girl was like "omg she's so hot, she's so hot" to her friend and ended up hitting on me and gave me her number telling me she wants to take me out to a date and then we drunkenly made out at the smoking area and almost fell over and i was like alright i'm so drunk now that i need to go home but well if she calls or texts that's fine but if she doesn't that's fine also it was fun

is it attractive to other lesbians to be a sporty femme? I’m already pretty athletic (I dance and do yoga ~10hr/week and walk/run every day) and I want to build some muscle in my arms (and abs) so I can do more acrobatic stuff. But I’m not sure how this comes across to other lesbians, if it’s too gym bro. I’m very femme (think 1950s swing dresses and other frilly vintage clothing) and since I’m covered up you usually can’t see my muscles, but I’m worried that it would be weird to be seen in femme clothing (especially in summer) with big ol’ arms and stuff. Basically I’m worried being too muscular will make me look like a tim, especially wearing femme clothing. Any thoughts or advice?

I mean I'm sure some people have warped ideas on what a woman is, fem4fem types can be really heterosexual in their beauty standards in particular but I'd say there is no way a woman can look "like a man" with natural muscles. Femme clothing can look a little odd with muscles though, just like masc clothing. Men with large legs for instance have to choose different pants than other men, so you may wanna explore different silhouettes if you wanna feel more confident but otherwise… nah you don't look like a man dw.

I think being completely blunt about the genital discourse could be a good way to get more well intentioned lesbians to peak. Gay men and same sex leaning bisexual women as well, maybe. A lot of TRAs seem to beat around the bush about it and not directly say that not wanting the opposite sex's genitals makes you Bad even though most seem to think that

AYRT Thanks for the feedback nonas. My gf does make a distinction between "pansexual" and homosexual so that's promising. She seems to be under the impression that all trans women are the HSTS type, and I think she empathizes with trans men because, as a very butch woman, she really relates to them. It'll be challenging, but I'll have to figure out how to explain AGP to her without coming off as "transphobic."

I remember years ago, the response to the "genital preference" thing was "this is only what a few people on Tumblr say, go outside", "those are internet trolls trying to sitr up drama", or "that only happens to some lesbians and it was an isolated incident", but now there's countless Tiktok videos of literal men in lipstick talking about how lesbians existing make them unsafe or are bigoted for not dating them. It's becoming increasingly hard to deny now.

DAE feel kind of awkward because you're not butch or femme? Online dating especially puts such an emphasis on marketing yourself & I feel like I'm halving my potential appeal by not adding an extra label. Typing this out made me realize I sound like a whiny comic about genderfluidity kek nvm
