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).

Can I bring back the book discussion from the last thread? I just read Priory of the Orange Tree and it was pretty good, it had a good plot independent of the lesbian relationship and lots of well written female characters in general. One of the women in the lesbian pairing is canonically bi according to the author's comments on social media but I didn't interpret her that way at all while reading, she seemed like a case of genuine comphet didn't want to be with men or have children, but she's a queen so she was pressured to marry for political reasons

Trigger warning: rape, mental health issues do not read if these are triggering
I got raped by moid at a party and it is fucking up my sexuality. I used to be so secure in my lesbianism but now I hate to call myself lesbian because it feels like I'm giving others a bad name. It's not even that I like men now, I still refuse to touch them. It's that I keep thinking about the rapist in romantic way because acknowledging what he did to me gives me anxiety. To the point where I've been texting him back like a desperate ex, I literally never knew this man before.
It's sucks because that whole night moids kept kissing me when all I wanted to do was start a convo, I remembered all I did was say hi to one and ask for his name then he started kissing me. It's like I'm just a body to them. I have always been depressed but I think this might push me to the edge. It's not just the Stockholm syndrome I'm developing, it's that i feel more hypersexual and it's disgusting. I was a virgin before because even before I fully came to terms with being lesbian I was never interested in dating guys during highschool. Now i lost my virginity to a man who raped and I can't even remember it because i think he drugged me. Someone else had to tell me I got raped. I have never blacked out like that before. It has been months and i should be getting over it but i can't, i feel like I'm going insane. I feel like this world is rejecting me. I was already dreading it because of fear of my homophobic family rejecting it once I come out. But now what's the point of that when I don't feel like I can ever have a romantic relationship with anyone? Everyday my mind keeps revisiting that night and trying to remember the whole thing. I think my mind is trying to cope with the anxiety by making it seem consensual and forcing weird feelings of infatuation towards him(it was not, there is no way a consensual thing would leave me this fucked up). But this event that traumatised me is completely gone and the only other person who might remember is the same person who hurt me. Maybe that's why I am so obsessed with him. I just want him to tell me everything that happened but I blocked him because I didn't want to mess up the police case. But it's been forever and it seems like the police haven't even started investigating, so it feels so useless. Because now even he's blocking me. My friends who tried to protect me that night said like I can come to them for support but I don't want to trauma dump them and it feels like they are avoiding me. I literally saw them posting online about partying at the same place I got raped. I don't feel comfortable talking to anyone else not even my parents because they are super religious and it feels like they are victim blaming me for going to a party with "non-believers". So I'm dumping all my emotions here. I am so done with this world, I am suck academically, my social life is shitty and the one thing I'm supposed to have control over (my agency/sexuality) got violated. I feel like lolcow is the only place where people understand me without judging me.

I also kind of read this character's approach to romance as her not wanting to be with a man but feeling like she has to, which was a perspective that I really found to be a compelling part of her character considering her role in the story. spoiler for MAJOR character/event spoilers but i was actually kind of sad when her husband died. like yeah we all knew it was coming and with him in the picture the actual relationship that is the center of the plot can't happen but the entire situation made me really sad and I kind of liked him despite him being a fucking idiot lol

I was kind of sad too lol, he seemed like a genuinely nice Nigel type which is further evidence of her lesbianism instead of bisexuality imo, can't remember the exact quote but at one point she said something like "even though he was gentle and kind it still never felt right". I really liked her character, the tokophobia and lifelong dread of knowing she'd eventually have to marry was extremely relatable. I remember feeling the same way as a kid. I didn't know lesbianism was a thing until my teens so I spent my whole childhood terrified to grow up because I thought pregnancy and husbands automatically happened to women when we hit adulthood.

I'm reading the prequel now and it's pretty good too. There's less focus on romance (there is a lesbian couple in the POV characters, but they don't seem as important as Ead/Sabran so far) but it still has lots of well written female characters so I'm happy.

I'm so excited to read the (pre)sequel, I preordered it when it was first announced but I haven't had the time to pick it up and really dedicate myself to reading it lol. I'm happy to hear there's another lesbian couple, Samantha Shannon continues to deliver on that front even if they're secondary characters lolol. I read the first book over the course of a little under a year because of my schedule, but being able to come back to it regularly was actually really comforting. I want to sperg out about the book but I don't even know where to begin kek, heres a little something else that's super spoilery and also not lesbian related

I admit that I skipped a large portion of Niclays' chapters somewhere in the middle because I reached a point where I just did not give a shit about him and his problems (though I found his character as a whole interesting and complex in a frustrating way) lol, but by the end he had seriously grown on me and I actually cried when he reunited with the wife of his lover. It felt kind of cathartic. maybe I'm just a sucker LMAO. Also, for a short time Tané's side of things also was a little boring to me. I know a lot of her conflict is internal and her story as a whole felt kind of secondary to the really all-consuming "West" storylines, which is why maybe sometimes I got tired of her, but I was still rooting for her.

If you're a big fan of high fantasy settings (that include places other than "fantasy england") with a creative approach to a magic system and lots of fantasy politics then this will be a fun read for you. Even if these things aren't normally what you look for in a book, I think it'll be engaging all the same with how things are laid out slowly for the reader bit by bit, s there's really no wall of exhibition waiting for you. I'm the anon who read it over the course of a year, so I don't see anything wrong with just reading/listening intermittently if that's what works for you (though I recommend keeping a glossary of the characters/places on hand so you don't get confused about who is who and doing what haha). Don't let the length stop you, it's a well crafted book that's worth a read imo!

Sometimes, my face unfurls
From what it’s supposed to be
And I shed my big girl clothes
And I slither back into Me

Sometimes I realise it’s been…
one year. Flowers open their skirts
to the sun’s gaze, crumple again:
pulled to death by steel wind

Julia, I uncork and remember-
my bones sink into liquid fire
Warm again, I drink in the memory
Your face, breaths, stir embers

Alone with your ghost, I sip,
float into your reverie, see
how your hands flutter, urgent,
bright eyed ferret, pillow lips

Sometimes, I put you back home
In my closet, where lie limp:
our dead, moth eaten uniforms.
And I feel you burn my lips,
I shut away my soul

Please seek help, nonna. I understand what you're going through, and I feel deeply for it.
You probably already know these things, but I'll state them just in case they can help:
-Many colleges have a center for sexual assault of some kind. It sounds like you've already done what you can in terms of reporting, but these centers can help you navigate the impact the rape has had on you. In my case, they helped me receive academic accomodations and discreet therapy services after the event, allowing me to start processing what happened with a professional and somewhat minimizing the damage it had on my academic career.
-If you're situationally unable to or do not feel comfortable with seeking help through the above, but do feel up to doing some reading, the book The Body Keeps the Score is also very helpful. It covers a large breadth of trauma's lasting impacts in a nonjudgemental manner. For me, it helped me feel less isolated in my experience and the way my mind/body was coping with it. And it helped me understand the frankly distressing trauma responses I was having.
Even neither of the above are options for you for any reason, I sincerely wish you the best. My heart is with you. I'm glad tbat you have a place to at least write out what happened amongst women who will not judge you.

I'm so sorry you're going through so much nonna. Things are hard already without fakeass friends and physical traumatic responses. I don't have much suggestions except maybe traumadumping on a mental health crisis line for however much you want to, and looking into whatever services your university offers for this. Maybe doing things like ripping up old papers can bleed off some of the restless stress idk. There's no "should" timeline for getting over traumatic events, much less one like rape. Please take all the time you need to recover and I hope the piece of shit that did that to you falls feet-first into a wood chipper. I believe that you can weather this storm.

Nonnie please don’t be hard on yourself, don’t blame yourself for how you’re responding right now. That’s trauma. You can separate the trauma response from the real version of you, how terrible to be hurt so much and not properly heard. And those friends suck. I hope you have family to confide in right now, anything. You’ve done nothing wrong, there’s nothing to feel ashamed about. It’s important that you get 1) justice, legally and 2) healing- therapy to process this, someone to talk to, maybe some time to heal. Again, I’m so sorry you went through that. How other people treat you does not represent who you are. You are a full, feeling, human, you’ve done nothing wrong, you deserve love and care.

My girlfriend's dog might break us up. It's bitten me 3 times now, with the most recent being last night at 4 am and it was really forceful and hurt really badly.

She can't sleep over at my house, because of the dog. We can't spend lazy mornings at my place in bed cuddling and having sex and coffee, because of the dog. We can't be spontaneous, because of the dog. The ONLY way we can do any of these things is if I am constantly sleeping at her house even though I don't have a car and have to walk or bike there every time.

I grew up poor and have finally gotten a good job and live the first nice apartment of my life. I just spent 2k on a whole new bed and sheetset among other things to upgrade my bedroom so that she would come over (my old mattress was shit and she understandably didn't want to sleep on it).

She said she would sleep at my place if she could bring her dog. But I have a cat and since her dog fucking bites all the time I'm not okay with it. It seems like the only way we spend the time I want to spend with her is if I'm making a compromise.

I can't believe something so stupid is causing such a problem but we're 10 months in and I'm at the end of my rope. The dog fucking runs her entire life and schedule and now it runs mine too. I didn't sign up for this.

Wtf, that sounds awful. Is it untrained or something? That's genuinely irresponsible on her part, especially if it's a behavior she is doing nothing to correct.

I don't know what's wrong with it. To her credit she feels awful about it, she's hired trainers in the past and bought expensive collars and stuff and nothing works. It's just really protective of her. I'm not sure what else she could do honestly. Luckily it's not a pit, it's a mid size (30-40 lb) mutt so when it bites it's not a mauling. That said, when we walk it it lunges at people and especially children, it bit a child on a street two months ago and luckily the mother was more understanding than I would have been.

Keep it away from people, walk it in the woods or somewhere where there's nobody around.
She's got an asocial animal, she cannot behave socially as if she doesn't. She has to adapt her social life for as long as the dog lives if she intends to keep it.

The stupidest thing would be you dying from a dog bite infection. If you decide to stay, make sure to go to the doctor each time you are bitten and watch for sudden swelling. I've seen bites get infected and it happens fast.

Is there anyone else who felt like they had to give up on being butch/androgynous? After the millionth time of being asked "what are your pronouns" and "what do you identify as" I finally just gave up and grew out my hair and wore brighter colors. I feel kind of like a huge loser but being confused all the time for a TIF just really set me off after a while.

This sucks, nonna. I hope that you two find a way through it, but this is an understandable reason to break up in my eyes. If you were just complaining about it being hard to schedule time together due to the dog, that'd be one thing. But all the biting? And the dog biting random strangers, even children? That's honestly an eventual lawsuit waiting to happen and you can't be blamed for not wanting to be around it and not wanting it in your home.
For what it's worth, even if you date another woman with a dog, I doubt it'll be this bad. I do hope that she and her dog can find a solution eventually as being anxious/aggressive enough to act like this must also be very stressful for the dog.

Not true nona, there are tons of cat lady lesbians! But she sounds like a bad pet owner in general which is really unfortunate, and I'm sorry you've been bitten.

Being bitten more than once seems like a pretty good reason to me, like what would she do if you had to get stitches the next time?

I've considered it but, dressing feminine makes me feel too weird and, honestly, vulnerable. I'm a "soft" butch, but I notice that younger people use more masculine language towards me, calling me "bro, man, dude, etc." in conversation. A zoomer cashier at Aldi called me "sir" the other day, which I was surprised by. Haven't been sir'ed in a while, lol. Older people (40s+)speak to and treat me like a woman regardless of what I'm wearing. Older men will hold doors open for me and let me in/out first from elevators and stuff. Thankfully I haven't been asked about pronouns yet. I think I've avoided that because I'm in my mid 30s and don't hang out in LGBT spaces or with younger people.

Such a strange time to be alive.

Isn't it such a relief? I love being called young lady etc by older women I meet. It's comforting in a way. Meanwhile people my age will they/he me aggressively and act shocked when they figure out I'm just a regular lesbian. Since you mentioned it, I have to assume my age is a factor as well, I'm right in that typical age bracket for gendies.

I can't, long hair is a sensory nightmare and I just plain don't like how it looks on me, plus I feel fucking goofy when I've tried to wear feminine clothing or makeup in the past. Like I'm making a fool of myself somehow, idk it's just not my thing and it's not natural to me so I can't do it. I've been mistaken for a boy in public before but they usually apologize once they realize and I've never minded that aspect of it, but when people assume I'm trans I get mad. I've had people tell me that this is basically my own fault, but it's not like it's always been this way, I didn't used to get treated like this.

I dress in neutral colors, have very masculine manners and wear men's clothing only, but keep my hair long (short hair looks like shit on me and seriously makes my manface issue even worse) and sometimes makeup so I guess that's why I've never gotten they/he'd or asked for my pronouns.

>>322363
>dressing feminine makes me feel too weird and, honestly, vulnerable.
Same, I used to dress more feminine but it always made me feel like I was walking around wearing a wacky uncomfortable skinsuit. Plus I had a visceral reaction to men catcalling and trying to flirt with me. Wearing masculine clothing actually works in repelling them, now they just treat me like shit in other ways that doesn't include being hit on.

>I've been mistaken for a boy in public before but they usually apologize once they realize and I've never minded that aspect of it, but when people assume I'm trans I get mad.
This too. When I wear my hair tied back I get sir'd sometimes and it's just funny to me when they sincerely thought I was a teenage boy but when they actually assume I'm trans I feel like they just insulted me and my entire being. Which they essentially did though, assuming that I can't be a woman because I don't look like their stereotypical interpretation of one.

Am I weird for naturally being les4les? I would rather be with a lesbian that has slept with a man before than with a bi that only sleeps with women, not because I'm biphobic or think she will cheat on me, I just don't want to be with someone that is attracted to men. Even just the knowledge that a woman is attracted to men is kind of repulsive to me and makes me dry. Even when I was 12 and didn't know much about lesbian/bi stuff I felt like this so it must be intuitive. I also know I wouldn't be able to relate or connect intimately with a woman that is attracted to men, I just have this weird mental block with them. Sometimes I wonder why I am like this because I am 5'0 and have very feminine features. Maybe I am broken.

Nah, wanting to be with someone who shares all your struggles is normal. While we share some of them with bi women, there is other stuff we can't relate to due to them being attracted to men too (and vice versa, bi women can't fully relate to lesbians either).

words mean nothing nowadays and meeting a lesbian might as well be meeting a bisexual because most will accept troons into their sex pool. also gender special people dont call themselves bi anymore (it's an outdated terf term according to them, because bi = 2 = only 2 gendies) so anyone who still consider themselves bi and not pan might as well be a cryptoterf.

A question regarding women who realize they are bi and not lesbian - have they always had attraction to men and they just didn't admit to it? Or did they just meet the right man and only become attracted to men when they come out as bi? I'm lesbian and worried I will end up meeting the 'right man' because of these stories even though I think I'd rather die than sleep with a man.

When I was 13-15 I was porn addicted and masturbated to everything that had a female in it including things with gore and animals.

Even worse I feel very dirty and corrupted because I viewed these things even though it's been years since I've looked at them.

She went to Pride and has a lot of pictures of her friends at raves. Now the question is, how the fuck do you tell if she is straight and just is a super supportive ally?

I am going to do occupational therapy soon to fix this and maybe I will ask for help with social interaction too I know I’m not the best socially but I guess I must be worse than I thought since you are all calling me embarrassing. I have to wait a long time for an autism assessment because a private diagnosis is really expensive. I can’t wait to get a tomboy gf when I’m older and I get my life together but I think it will be a very long time because I don’t have anything to offer to anyone.

NTA but meditating twice a day and researching Stoic philosophy helped me with my autism. My brain can overthink itself to hell and back, so taking some time in the morning and evening to focus purely on my breathing and nothing else helped centre me more. I felt more present in life and less trapped in my head. Reading classic Stoic literature (read the books, don't let some YouTube moid explain it) helped me stop catastrophising so much. Simply put: shit happens, but we keep on going. Do I still do retarded things? Of course! But I've got more confident about putting myself out there, actually enjoying many aspects of life because I'm not caged in my silly little brain so much and I handle bad situations better now that I've just accepted the ebb and flow of life.

Thanks I love Graeco-Roman literature and philosophy but for some reason I’ve never read anything on Stoicism, maybe because I’m not too fond of the crowd it tends to attract. I’ve never treated philosophy as a form of self-help before but it seems like kind of a fun way of enacting self-improvement. I definitely need to ground myself above all else,I struggle to push myself to really get better because I get so lost in my head and lack agency as a result. I tried meditating a few years ago and I struggled with that but maybe it’s because I used a bad app.

Yeah Stoicism has a really shitty dudebro crowd around it, especially online. They all call themselves Stoics while barely embodying even one of the four virtues, kek. Honestly I am not an educated person, I dropped out of school at 15 so when I read those books (in order: Letters from a Stoic by Lucius Seneca, Discourse and Selected Writings by Epictetus and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius) I was basically a philosophical vulture taking what bits I could apply to myself and writing about them in my journal, exploring these concepts as a tool for countering autism. I'm a yo-yo meditator but I've found that guided meditation and apps tend to dilute the experience. I had the most success by starting out focusing on my breathing for 5 minutes and then upping the duration when I was ready. I now tend to do that for 10 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. I don't know if you have concentration issues as apparently not all autistic people do (I don't think? idk I've found mixed messages about it online) but my focus is SO much better now. I've got back into gaming and reading more now as a result, which is just another little thing that just helps me relax and improves my overall quality of life. Best of luck, nona.

I think both "gold star" and "comphet" rhetoric are harmful in different ways, but the latter is tricky since there's technically two definitions of "comphet". The original essay on compulsory heterosexuality was written by a polilez (a broken clock is right twice a day) and argued that women of all sexualities are socialized to prioritize men in their life (romantically and platonically), which is something I agree with. So many straight and bi women in my life would otherwise throw away their values for men, I once knew a former hardcore liberal who dated a Trump supporter. I used to be a "not all guys are bad" when I was a teenager and newly coming out because I wanted to be seen as a "cool lesbian" and not a "gross man hater" - despite having a male-exclusionary sexuality, I still prioritized their feelings. I was also raised Christian and was taught that homosexuality was both a choice and a sin, so I assumed I was straight during my childhood and early teens, since I was surrounded by unhappy straight relationships and figured I would pick the "least bad" guy when I grew up. I knew an ex-gay in real life, too. I've known lesbians who were similar circumstances who dated guys to fit in and they either wound up traumatized or were abused by the guys, and I don't think it's fair to call them bisexual for being in an ordeal like that in the first place, they weren't "bisexual who had bad sex with a man" when even nonsexual interactions were uncomfortable and if they lived somewhere more accepting they wouldn't have tried to "fix themselves".

However, I do think a lot of so-called "lesbians" online who talk about having "comphet crushes" are bisexual women who have trauma with men and cope with it by claiming their self awareness that 99.9999% of men are bad people to be "comphet". (I have a febfem friend who used to be like this.) When I stopped being a Christian and realized I couldn't make myself straight, I would have pretend "comphet" crushes on guys, but they were fake and straight girls could tell I was lying when I talked about it. The so-called "Lesbian Masterdoc" was also written by a bi woman with trauma, and if I remember correctly she redacted the document later on, go figure.

If 'comphet' is making you seek out men to have fully fledged relationships with and even worse, fucking them, you're not lesbian, and I think too many bi women with male trauma claim to be lesbian because of this idea of comphet. However, similar to what >>323230 said, comphet exists in the sense that we as women are socialized to prioritize and include men in all facets of our lives. We are taught from as young as toddlers that our "happily ever after" will include a husband, and so many of us growing up try to coerce ourselves into believing we're bisexual and trying to force crushes on male friends/celebrities. Obviously when we realize we don't actually have these crushes and we're disgusted by male bodies, we realize it was just part of our socialization to make us want to be OSA. But no, if you have a history of actually dating men and consensually fucking them, you're not lesbian and that isn't comphet.

my mom joked many times about me being gay because she miscarried a male before having me. she also assumes I'm gay because I was sexually assaulted.

I remember kissing boys and acting out things in movies I saw with them but I never felt anything for boys at all. I only saw them as friends. I never had crushes on boys and other girls teased me about being a boy because of it. I was 8 when I started thinking about girls, but because I grew up in a conservative and very religious family, I would imagine myself as a boy kissing or having sex with girls because it was, in my mind, the only way it would ever happen.

the last time I kissed a boy was when I was 12 and I thought I'd have sex with him to prove that I was normal. thankfully someone caught us stripping and that was the end of that potential disaster. I made friends with straight women in college and went clubbing with them several times, danced with men, became disgusted every time I felt them grinding their hard-ons on me. I decided to end all my experiments with men after that.

I didn't actually kiss or even date a woman until I was 20 years old and when I did it felt so intoxicating and "right". after all I've been through and how I've tried to be straight, I absolutely believe that homosexuality is a natural born trait like one's eye color.

Hope it’s ok to comment, bi lurker, I have so many similar experiences.
I was friends with a “pansexual” (gender-koolaid bisexual) girl who I asked out. She said yes and then dumped me the next day because she wanted to “stay friends”. She would go on and on about how attraction to men sucked, she wished she was a lesbian, girls are so pretty, but actually dating a girl was too much for her. I think she said yes too quickly and wised up the next day when she actually had to face the prospect of seeing me.
Another girl I liked turned out to be a massive fujo and came out as a “gay trans man”. Such a shame because she was genuinely very cool and GNC.

>I've tried to be straight, I absolutely believe that homosexuality is a natural born trait like one's eye color.
As someone who voluntarily went through conversion therapy, I 100% agree with you. I had months of sessions and hung out with other "ex-gays" in my free time. I was completely devoted to becoming "normal" and heterosexual. At group meetings I spoke frequently about wanting to get married and have kids and eventually a gay guy from the group proposed to me. It was the least romantic proposal ever; he straight up told me he could tolerate me as a wife because I'm naturally masculine and we could do the DIY insemination thing with a turkey baster to have kids. I liked the guy as a friend, but in that moment I felt total revulsion at the idea. Even a sexless marriage with a moid was disgusting to me, and that was at the peak of my "ex-gay" confidence. I left the group after that as I knew it was game over for me. I moved back to my home town and decided to be celibate, I figured not acting on my desires might be enough to "save" me. Even after all the "therapy" (that was literally just abuse) I still fell in love with my wife at first sight. It was only then that I finally accepted that you can't change or "cure" homosexuality. I now view it like I do my autism: I would love to not have this trait, but it's not like I chose to have it in the first place, so I just gotta get on with my life. Fighting it is futile.

im a bit of a lescel, only had one relationship before. anyway im lonely and hurt from last relationship and have been trying to go on dates but the apps are… not good for many reasons, and i just generally feel so alienated even from other ssa women because im a retarded sperglord. its been a few years now since i broke up with my last gf (although we did last sleep together recently, now ive cut it off for good) but i am having such a difficult time finding anyone who shares my interests even very generally + can tolerate spergery + i am attracted to + is gay or bi. just feels so over.
been working on myself, working out, making money/completing study, making my personality more palatable, but it all feels so empty and lonely, time just goes on and on, i get older and my lack of experience becomes more of a problem. i dont know how to get out of this hole. i could have spent the rest of my life with my ex easily, she and i were so perfectly matched and on the same wavelength, same humour, same desires. feels like ill never get that again, that i had my chance and its gone forever. sorry to vent, just feeling hopeless and would love any input from anyone who can relate/got out of this sort of shit before

Sure I'll romance-sperg! We met at work, we're in different departments though so our paths rarely cross. I still remember vividly the first time I saw her come into the shared office I was in at the time. It's corny as hell, but it almost felt like everything was in slo-mo. My wife has amazing dress sense and that was what first caught my eye; she had on this grey silk shirt and grey chequered trousers with her hair down and minimal make-up and she just had this… aura? You just know she's a good woman in that way where genuinely nice people have that glow about them. Man, she's a total knockout too, mesmerising beauty. I completely lost track of the fact that I was staring at her and when she noticed I nearly had a heart attack thinking she was gonna call me a weirdo, but instead she just smiled at me and that was it, I was in love. After over a year of isolation and intense self-loathing I was brought back from the brink by the realisation that homosexuality is as natural as breathing to me. How can any God resent me for such a pure feeling of adoration? Anyway, we ended up seeing each other more and more around work (we both made up reasons to go to the other's department and steal glances at each other) and eventually we started talking. We had so much in common we just fell into place with each other like we were long-lost best friends. We had our first kiss at our work's NYE party and we were married the next November.

I know it feels shit now but trust me when I say that "experience" is overrated. I used to live a degenerate lifestyle and I accumulated plenty of "experience" with all the wrong women. It did me no good, in fact, it actually harmed me. I wish I just waited for the women I've loved, not because of some "purity" bullshit but I genuinely believe that too much casual sex can be detrimental to self-worth and intimacy skills. >>323399 is 100% right: work on yourself, hang around in tolerable LGBT spaces (if you can find any) and be patient. Think about it: when you meet a girl you like, would you judge her harshly for only having one previous relationship? I wouldn't, and I think most other SSA women wouldn't either - and the ones that would are the ones you should avoid at all costs. Stay strong and keep on pushing forward, nona.

NTA but does experience really matter that much in same-sex relationships? I always thought it wouldn't since our dating pool is so small, but I've seen a lot of women my age (I'm way past 25 for the record) lament that lack of experience means there's no hope for a first relationship, and I was even told in a previous thread it can be a red flag to others. Which doesn't make sense to me, honestly. I personally would prefer someone with a similar level of experience to me (aka none kek, and I came out as a teenager, I didn't even have a GSA when I was in school), and I know I can't be the only one.

thank you bros. also wifeanon thank you for telling the story of your love at first sight, legit made me feel so much better about everything- someone really can just appear in your life who you click with like that. hope inspiring man.
i guess i was feeling pretty sad because i fucked up a date i was actually really invested in by not modulating my emotions/conversation properly because i was overexcited around this girl, she was really cool and attractive and successful in an area i have a lot of interest in, but she hit me with the "id really like to be friends, is that ok?" at the end. i know its just how this sort of thing goes and she was really polite about it but man it burned me. just immediately felt ugly and awkward. i know this just means i need to go on more dates to build resilience though.

"Let's be friends" is generally a polite way to say 'fuck off' because 99% of the time you'll never hear from her again. I hate when women say this and I promised to never say this to women I have no interest in. If there's no attraction, at the end of the date I just tell her I had a nice time, part ways, and delete her number on the way home.
I was sensitive to rejection early on, that's why I said to go on dates without expectations. I've had fun on dates that I sensed weren't going beyond coffee or lunch. A casual vibe takes the pressure off your date as well, so if she doesn't feel attracted to you she won't feel like she needs to make an excuse to not go on a second date. I've encountered a few women who thought VERY highly of themselves and made ridiculous and obviously fake excuses to not call or text me.

In the case you do find someone you like, you can try scheduling a date with another woman in the same week just so you don't get hung up on one woman and torture yourself by waiting around for her to text you.

A question for everyone here: did you feel that your body was judged a lot while dating?

I wonder why are there so few lesbians honestly, it feels like each city has a threshold of a single lesbian kek. I wish I could talk with someone with no attraction towards men someday….
I have been only able to find bisexuals around me and its so tiresome because all of them are either dating men or have bias towards them. I haven't seen a single one (offline or not) who prefers women or considers a relationship with one as serious as one with a men, I have almost started to doubt bisexuality is a real thing.

No. 323545

I was in a situation like you. And there is hope! Contrary to other nonnas, I'd say don't go hard on the dating. It's just draining to try to click with someone you're not compatible with. If you're a specific kind of person, it's unlikely you're going to find gf in a gay bar or by going out with some random women. (I may be biased because I live in a tiny euro-hole, might be diffent elsewhere). That said, if you find someone you feel connection to, just go with it.
Focus on making friends who share your interests and living your best single life. I've actually met my current gf when I made peace with being single. We were friends who wanted to play board games together at first, but we instead spent hours just talking about things. It evolved into relationship some months later.
Also seems like you aren't completely over your ex- that definitely makes falling in love with someone else difficult.

Thank you, nonas. ♥ and to answer your question about objectification: I felt that a lot, but I'm butch so it's kinda par for the course. It happened mainly with the bi women I dated, my masculine features were always praised in a way that just… irked me. Like it was almost always comparative; saying I'm taller than a lot of men, more muscular than a lot of men, stronger than any of their previous partners (almost always men). Why couldn't they just say they liked my height and build? I hated the weird pissing contests they created. I felt like a pseudomale - a trial run of homosexuality in an acceptably masculine package because they either weren't quite ready to accept that they like icky women yet, or worse, I was just male-passing enough to get them off. It felt pretty dehumanising at times and that was partly why I decided to only date lesbians. There are lesbians that have been guilty of making those objectifying comments, but no way near as much. I wish I had advice for getting over it, of course self-acceptance is key but I know how hard that battle is. Best of luck, nona.

A friend today told me he broke up with a mutual friend today.

I honestly wasn’t even surprised to learn she was a larper because I’ve had my suspicions, but it’s so tiring. The only “lesbians” I’ve met in my city so far have all been larpers.

I know how you feel, anon. I've had so many "lesbian" friends suddenly just start dating or sleeping with men and it's so frustrating. I get that it can be hard to work out your sexuality, especially with internalised homophobia and internalised misogyny, but back when I was a teen (I'm 32 now) it was common to just use the label "questioning". It's like a race to label yourself now, and it's so confusing to navigate LGBT spaces knowing that many people are being dishonest; and what's worse is that many of these "lesbians" know they're lying. But hey, one time they liked a cottagecore aesthetic board on tumblr, that's tantamount to homosexuality, right?

I've also had an uptick in thoughts about trooning out too, my brain basically torturing me and reminding me that if I was male I'd probably be a parent already. On the outside my wife and I have to be all smiles because that's how you're expected to behave when trying but fuck me, it's so tiring.

I don't even know a single lesbian friend who actually stuck with the label and didn't suddenly have a bi awakening when a moid who's not completely gross asks them out.

Just recently I found out one who has always been very adamant about lesbian actually dated a man and had sex with him but still called herself a lesbian. Bleak.

NTA but I'm sorry anon, I've completely abandoned all thoughts of becoming a parent because I would probably have the same experience as you. I'm infertile myself (and wouldn't want to be pregnant anyway) and watching my partner go through with it would totally re-trigger my gender dysphoria hard and make me bitter about straight couples and how privileged they are.

There's no shame in not adopting and I hate how it's often framed as some sort of gay duty - that we have to care for the kids that fucking straight people abandoned.

This was a big problem for me, especially as a butch. Guys would either treat me as if I were their kid brothers or they would treat me like garbage because I wasn't sexually available to them. Many of my female co-workers would treat me like a serial rapist and avoided interacting or being alone with me in a room.
At the last company I worked for, my bisexual manager openly flirted with me and would find reasons to make me stay later in the office with her. But when she found I was dating someone, her attitude did a 180 and she started nitpicking my work and complaining about my performance to our boss. We had so many "performance review meetings" with the boss where I was basically told to shut up and do what she said (even if it made no fucking sense at all) because she had more experience than me in the business. I eventually got fired and that's when I realized working for others would never be an option for me.

I personally have a pretty well paying job (STEM) but I think it's mainly just because lesbians have less kids and women in straight relationships are still expected to carry the brunt of all the family affairs at the risk of their career development.

NTA but in my school boys tormented me the most for being a lesbian, like actual unprompted physical beatings and the girls had that generic "ew pervert gay rapist" reaction which made me closeted as hell after I switched schools and I masked as a straight-passing femme for a long time before I gained enough courage to return to being a butch.

This is my experience as well, especially the part about being treated like a little brother, they had a very similar vibe as my actual older brother had when we were kids and he wanted to bully me. And the part about female coworkers too, at some point I stopped interacting to save us both the awkwardness and probably gained a reputation as some uppity NLOG for it.

My two lesbian friends are programmers, a heavily male dominated field that pays well. Most of the rest of us work, well, with each other, men being the minority. I've always felt comfortable in my workplaces.
The programming companies have a quota to fill and they hate it. The environment is so hostile to women from what they told me that I'd never work there. But they endure it for some perplexing reason.

From what I've seen lchat is a gossip fandom place that attracts a lot of south american/ESL-asian hyperfemininity worshippers who take breaks from stalking het actresses for signs of wuhluhwuh to enjoy trolling butches. Leftover right-wing/russian bots from the 2020 election (why target this obscure lesbian gossip site is anyone’s guess) and male regulars also contribute their most retarded analysis on these topics. Bihet radfems sometimes stray from troon containment thread to cry and attempt self-defense in bibashing/fakebian/PL threads. Everyone there is very mentally agitated. But there are normal users and good conversations in slower topics.
The other lchat is also funny, with the weirdest gossip you’ll ever hear about female celebrities: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/l_anon/safe-haven-to-discuss-black-women-in-the-closet-yo-t3949354-s390.html (picrel about gillian anderson the supposed ass eating enthusiast) Way more entertaining than eye-contact-analysis Gaylor Swift-style delusion threads.

Scrolling through the unhinged Twitter posts from the past few days from the HER app account is really something else. I don't even think about that app anymore since I was never even able to find an actual woman to converse with there, I wonder if somebody higher up signed off on schizochan using the corporate account like a personal account or if it was hijacked by a stray employee lol.

No one is missing out on anything by not installing that worthless app. It felt like every third swipe I was finding someone who had married/taken and some flavor of bi/pan/curious in their bios. 50/50 on whether they'd mention their moid. If it wasn't them it was just straight/bi women on there only looking to make friends which, great but don't come on a lesbian dating app for it

I've always steered clear from Lchat because every time the topic came up and I checked the front page it always had schizo levels of fantasizing about female celebrities (like what >>324050 posted) and at least one active thread calling butches ugly trannies, nothing has changed I see.

But christ the people going "butches don't get beat up and assaulted for being butch, they get assaulted for being women so stop your whining!" when the topic is specifically the violence GNC women, straight or not, face due to their masculinity being provocative to men due to its traditionally homosexual implications gets my blood boiling hard. Sorry for blogging but the anon in that thread mentioned the case of getting beat up by men because "if you want to be a man, then fight like one" got me because this actually happened to me when I was a teenager. Random boys would come up to me to challenge me to a fight and start throwing fists just because they wanted to "put me back in my place".

It reminds me of all those times when sporty style butches are called pedos because they apparently "want to look like teenage boys" like loose shirts and ripped jeans was some genderbent nymphette fashion. It's just thinly veiled homophobia.

I understand being weary of lesbians who wear men's clothes and bind their breasts because most of them are just undercover FtM trannies waiting to come out as men or they/them. It doesn't help that so many famous butch lesbians ended up coming out as men and young butches practically worship them.

There’s no such thing as an “undercover tranny” you moron. The trans identity isn’t innate, it’s socially influenced and butch lesbians are being encouraged to transition and identify as men. You’re just inventing reasons to hate butch women at this point.

No. 324391

Yes, binding is suspect as it's dangerous and typically indicative of an idolisation of the male body. But men's clothes? I wear men's clothes because I prefer them and they fit me better, simple as. What is it about preference that you don't understand? As for the "undercover tranny" business, unless you're not in the west, I see no reason for a butch to be "undercover FTM". I live in the UK and I can guarantee you that if I transitioned I would live a better life. Troons are the most sacred of protected classes, masc women (yes, even the straight ones) are treated like shit and routinely ignored. When we're attacked we're told that's what we get for "pretending to be men", when we're lonely we get told that butches are predators so of course people don't want to be near us, when we have mental health issues we're offered trooning out as a solution to a society that refuses to accept us, in the workplace we often don't get "front of house" positions because of our looks. I could go on, but you get the picture. So why would someone be an "undercover FTM"? To get a girlfriend? Go read the previous threads and see how our dating lives are - those of us that aren't completely isolated, that is. Again, transitioning would also be beneficial in this respect. Putting "he/they" in a dating bio would do wonders, it shows that I'm pigeonholing myself like a good little member of society and I'd be up to my neck in bihets as a result.

I mean, my tomboyish gf would surely wear binder, if it wasn't dangerous, uncomfortable and associated with fakebois. She has a curvy, very feminine figure, but is slim and short, so baggy men's clothing isn't gonna work for her. She'd definitely love if regular men's clothes fit better and could do without showcasing her boobs too much. So I still think someone wearing a binder doesn't necessarily mean she wants to troon out.

NTA but I have a couple suggestions if you don't mind. I'm slim, short curvy and butch. I wear neutral looking women's clothes for the most part but sized up and some men's clothing from stores that offer small enough sizes to not swallow me. It works just fine, though I don't have massive breasts. I do think large breasts don't really take away from the appearance of a masc woman, we are women afterall. If she's worried about looking stubby as a shorty I recommend getting a short haircut, it makes the head look smaller which makes the body seem longer in comparison. One thing though, if she's in the mentality that to look good as a short person with her shape, she has to cinch the waist… she does not have to. I say that because in my baby butch days I thought I had to wear certain things or "look fat" and it was so stupid in hindsight kek.

No. 324410

NTA but as a butch I sometimes wear a binder because some masc clothes look better on top of it and I just like the aesthetics of a flat chest, yet I'm not going to troon out or cut my tits off. People wear corsets and shapewear to accentuate their features so binders shouldn't be any different. The "she'll transition anyway so why bother respecting her!!!" is the most retarded excuse to hate on butches I have heard to this day.

Ah. Starts out with compressive sports bras bc they're more comfortable than real bras, gets used to it so it's not enough steps up to binder bc it looks better, doesn't want you to touch her breasts bc it's not her thing. Thinks she got sway with it and steps up from loose shirts and pants from the woman's section to mens's section clothes and underwear bc they fit better demonstrating that she is delulu about her female body being male and fit for male measurements. Gets or already uses a unisex nickname. Stops you from touching her bc she wants to be on top but really just doesn't want you touching her vagina bc it grosses her out and reminds her she's female. Starts talking about kinks and tries to talk you into using a strap on on you. Calls you small minded for not being turned on by a plastic cock and being put off by her touching it and refusing to let her put it in you. You catch her wearing the strap on in her pants when out an about. Claims it's because she wants to be ready to fuck you at any moment but not with her own body or allowing you to have sex with her, she wants to use a plastic cock. Tries to lie it's just a harmless butch thing* and accuses you or being small minded for not being into cock roleplay. Troon out.

Good luck, anon. Once burned never again.

Yeah and I've hooked up with and dated femmes who were pillow princesses that would only have sex if I took the active role and played the stone butch for them because they would not touch female genitalia.

The ones I've encountered were older, 30s-40s. The one I dated was late 30's when I was 19. My friends tell me it was an abusive relationship, but I think I was just naive and eager to please due to the alienation of being a weird butch woman with autism and not many friends. Now that I'm older and a tiny bit wiser, I do wonder about pillow princesses "true" sexuality. If it's some sort of reaction to trauma from men or something. I used to think I was stone until I realised it was just a whole lotta internalised misogyny and lesbophobia, so I wouldn't be surprised if pillow princesses also had some mental fuckery going on.

Also, I bind because I have a complicated relationship with my breasts because of CSA. Years ago I did consider trooning out but realized that mutilating my body wouldn't erase what happened to me and it's better to stop punishing myself instead because none of it was my fault. Going on a bit of a tangent here, but I read somewhere that many FtMs are also CSA or other SA victims.

Thank you, nona. But it wasn't that bad, I know it sounds bad, but I was like a moth to a flame with these older women. To no one's surprise, I have mother issues. Like I said, the general consensus of those close to me is that it was abuse, but I don't think so. I know people who've suffered far worse. What matters is that I'm now happily married to a woman my own age (born on the same day, no less) and I've finally worked through my issues and have a good, healthy relationship and no sexual hang-ups like being stone. I'm one of the lucky ones, really.

A lot of lesbian posts I see, mostly on twitter, are focused a lot on the negativity of what being a lesbian is, like discrimination, trannies entering our spaces, constant erasure, etc. it always bums me out to read, cause it makes me feel like being a lesbian is something full of negativity and a burden on my life, something that I can’t control that brings a lot of sadness.

But I wanna talk about the happy parts of being a lesbian sometimes. I love women, and I’m glad that I can see a deeper beauty in them that a lot of people don’t see. I love seeing lesbian couples who grow old together, and start families. I just feel like a lot of negativity exists because being a lesbian is extremely difficult in places like where I live, and there’s so little lesbian joy to be found

I've pivoted to lesbian joy last year, it was a deliberate decision to overcome the barrage of doomer energy both online and offline. It was a great thing to do because although I come from an extremely homophobic shithole, I've never wanted to change my orientation (not that one can). I've always loved that I'm a lesbian and that I'm able to love women the way I do. I love the way our bodies fit together, I love my unique perspective on the world, I love the friendships I make with women like me. I would never trade it for anything. I also love to see elderly lesbian couples, or any more mature lesbian that's butch like me and thriving. Some of my lesbian friendships were too focused on complaining about trannies and bisexuals and I slowly let those go because I truly don't care about these groups and don't think letting them dominate my thoughts would be healthy for me. Now I have fewer friends but we cultivate lesbian joy and elevate each other.

Lesbianism isn't inherently political, but you'd be hard pressed to say that most lesbians didn't actively participate in separatism (in the way of male friendships) or weren't feminists.

No. 324643

>>324605
No it's not. Lesbianism isn't some female separatist idea, plenty of us still have men in our lives that we just aren't romantically or sexually involved with. Treating it as some form of feminist movement centered around segregation and independence from males is what draws in male-repulsed political lesbians who will never touch a vagina that's not theirs and will start reshaping and redefining lesbianism as their personal safe space movement. It already happened once and we're still dealing with the ripples of that. A lot of lesbians are feminist, but lesbianism isn't a form of feminism in itself.

Samefag. I stand corrected. They were banned for only 24 hours and it was because they threatened to dox women using whatever could be "hacked" from their LinkedIns. Classy. Legitimate news outlets are saying they were suspended for being "transfriendly" but OP states this was the real reason. No screenshots or other means of proof though, but many Redditors on separate posts discussing the suspension mentioned HER posted this threat, some calling it a joke.
Apparently this same near-Schizo posting behavior, as someone in the Reddit replies called it, was exhibited on their TikTok. Users of HER also got an anti-TERF rant as a notification.

>Queer activists, radical groups like the Lavender Menace, and the Stonewall Riots of 1969 helped our community reclaim “lesbian” as a powerful and empowering identity.
>So now you have people like the lady of transphobia herself, J.K. Rowling, as the face of a hateful, noisy movement.
>Millennials and Gen-Z are increasingly skipping over the “lesbian” label because of its rising association with anti-trans views. Instead, opting to identify as “gay” and “queer.”
>I genuinely believe that we’re seeing more and more young people come out and exist outside the gender binary because of the efforts so many have made in deepening our acceptance of all people and varying identities.
>The future of lesbians is trans. It’s non-binary. It’s inclusive. If this is a threat to you, if an inclusive intersectional future is a threat to you, please, at this point, just take it back to TERF island and lament your fragile egos there.

In the past they used to specify in the sidebar that the sub was for discussing sexuality and not gender and that anything not on topic would be removed. Which was how they could get away with removing trans shit. These days the sidebar says that they'll remove your comment if you say tif/tim/terf and that "invalidating" or policing someone else's gender is not allowed. I've seethed about this before but there is a whole brigade of moids who lurk lcf and as soon as someone posted the sub here it took a rapid turn for the worse. Most of the original group is still there and people downvote in silence but it's by no means as based as it once was.

Is it unusual for butch lesbians to take testosterone to present more masculine? I'm very isolated both online and offline from any type of LGBT community so I'm not sure if this is normal stuff for a butch to be thinking about.

Thank you for your replies. It's very confusing to navigate this stuff while not knowing if it's a regular experience or not. I live in a rural area and the chance of getting a therapist like that is non-existent. I actually have been trying to make an appointment with "sex, gender, and relationship" psychologists for many months but in my country it's very, very difficult to get the appointment and I'm still waiting. I am also worried that they would try to insist I am trans and I would waste my money and time. Why do you think not to take hormones? I am extremely apprehensive about taking medication, especially something like hormones, but it's tempting because some of the effects I desire (deepening voice, clit growth, body/facial hair) are the permanent ones and I just have the idea that I can stop taking it after I get those if it doesn't feel right to be on it. By the way I am in my 30s, this isn't something I just came up with yesterday and it has been a life-long issue that I haven't been able to relieve so far. And as I get older this type of dysphoria only seems to get worse.

What about your voice? For some people their voices changes very fast and it can happen before the other changes you mention. You can't predict what's going to affect you how and when, and aside from fucking up your hormonal patterns, you could lose your hair or end up with painful periods later on. I've seen tifs talk about clit chafing and vocal pain in the ftm thread too. I mean I'm not going to make a huge list but there's a shitton of reasons not to. Plus whatever stigma you face as a butch lesbian will likely get worse unless you were to fully pass as a man and that doesn't sound like what you want to do.

I mentioned deepening voice, that's one of the changes I would like. It's one of the reasons I am apprehensive too, because I don't want to get that "tif voice". I read that is more likely if you take testosterone over 30, but also that it could be alleviated by voice training. I think every change that I have read that testosterone normally causes is one I would be happy with, except balding obviously, but that's the one that should happen last and I would hopefully get any changes I like before that would happen and I could stop taking it then. Clit chafing sounds bad but one of the things I would like is clitoral growth and I suppose there isn't a way to obtain that without chafing, which is temporary from what I have read. You're right that I don't have any interest in passing as a man. I don't care at all if I get mistaken as a man (I already do) but "passing" as a man is not of any interest to me.

>>324883
Do you know which effects are permanent and negatively effect health? That's by far the main reason I would reconsider taking testosterone. From what I have read it seems like none of the negative health effects are permanent, but I'm obviously worried about it. I know that negative health effects are downplayed for most medications.

>>324885
She talks about
>acne
>voice deepening
>clitoral enlargement
>body/facial hair growth
>loss of period
and she says they are permanent except for the acne and loss of period. She took a whole bunch of performance enhancing drugs and not just testosterone. She also is continuing to take the drugs even with the side effects she experiences. She recommends for women not to take testosterone but it isn't clear from the video why specifically she recommends that. She obviously doesn't like the permanent masculinizing effects mentioned above but those are effects I would like.

I've been dating my girlfriend for nearly a year. She's a "be kind" type when it comes to queer shit and we had a few disagreements at the start of our relationship about it. Since then I've avoided the topic because our relationship is otherwise great and she's an amazing person. Yesterday out of nowhere she started talking about how annoying it is that our local lesbian group is "inclusive of basically everyone" then pivots to how kids are transitioning without sufficient safeguards. To top it off she said she thinks a lot of the nonbinary girls she sees at her work probably just hate gender roles and then she asked me why transitioning to a different gender is progressive but changing your race is not.

NTA but I have some FTM friends who have been on T for some time and they have reported vaginal atrophy and constant UTIs because of it, and if you happen to carry the male pattern baldness gene it will make you lose all of your hair and that process is irreversible. It also alters some of your bone structure for good and you might not like what you'll look like past that. Regarding health issues, testosterone significantly cuts your life span due to increasing the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and blood clots. It's just not worth it, nobody knows how your body will react to it. You might be sent to roid rage mode or the effects that you were up for in theory might not be as pleasing to you in practice.

My girlfriend did the reverse, she went from full TERF to "live and let live" due to some of her friends identifying as nonbinary and now she openly hates on JKR. I decided it's for the best if I just don't bring the subject up with her because it ends up with us having an argument about it.

You might be surprised to hear that outside of imageboards and twitter slapfights people can disagree about things without going full sperg mode about it. I have plenty of friends who support trans people but are for example very able to recognize that a lot of butch lesbians are pigeonholed into becoming FTMs due to homophobia and restrictive gender roles and that AGPs are a pox on female rights. Most people fall somewhere in the middle about the whole issue.

I'm just teasing. I live in a very blue city in a very blue state and the local PTA challenged the school board when they tried to add gender identity books to the k-12 program. Many of the parents thought the books "sent the wrong messages to their kids." It made locals news but these sort of stories never catch onto national news because, as I said, I live in a blue state. Florida and other red states get all the attention for opposing extreme views but it really happens all over the country. On a whole, I don't think most Americans believe in tranny ideology.

My god this gets my blood boiling like you wouldn't believe it. It's textbook polilez shit to call lesbianism as "freedom to be anything women would like to be" and I'm fucking done with it. Yes, it's liberating to not have to base your life around being attractive to men but we still live in a Society and lesbians are subjected to misogyny and male expectations just the same, and we're considered the lowest of low value women because we're not sexually available to men and we're made to pay for it.

https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/04/30/lesbian-meaning/
This entire article is a fucking tragedy. Pink news has always been 100% about trannies and the bihet handmaidens kissing their asses but this "L word is magic!" is just the most insufferable trash that I have seen. I hate political lesbians and they do way more harm than good, and I hate the entirety of politicizing lesbianism. Words can't describe the jealousy I feel for gay men who can be Aiden-exclusionary all they want and people will rather pretend "TEHMs" don't exist than confront them because nobody gives a shit about FTMs (as they're women).

>“It can make straight people recoil a little bit. Like they suddenly start thinking about the kind of sex you have, but the more people worry about it, the more I think it’s important to use the word,” says Lilly Alter.

Outright admitting that they're weaponizing lesbianism as a label to shock the status quo like a bunch of teenagers. The histrionic women giving statements like these are the kind who will get mad when you don't like them bringing their Nigel everywhere and accuse you of denying their queer identity for being exclusive of heterosexual lesbians.

ty for putting this into words because it's exactly how I feel every time some shitbag says "teehee I wish I was a lesbian because it'd be so much easier!!!" Bitch just stop dating men!!! Nobody is forcing you to date men and it's not like men respect lesbians, we still get sexually harassed and assaulted and spoken down to like straight women. It drives me insane. It's incel logic, they think lesbians are living life on 'easy mode' since we don't have to date men. So they see boundaries and exclusion as privileged lesboids punching down on the poor oppressed het larpers.

I wish it wasn't, lmao. But it's real and I've known that since I was a kid. The thing is:
1 - While gays and lesbians have to choose between suffering homophobia or loneliness, bisexuals have the possibility to have both a “straight-passing” life and with someone they really love and are attracted to.
2 - OSA people are more common than SSA people, even more if compared to SSA people who are not in the closet.
3 - Women are socialized to center scrotes in their lives, and this is harder to deconstruct when you are OSA.
4 - There are some bi women who have a strong preference and/or are married to women who come to describe themselves as lesbians. In my country, for exemple, there is no concept of "febfem" and polilez discourse is still a thing in radfem circles, so there a lot of fakebians here.

I can't help getting so upset that I'm a lesbian, knowing that if everything about me was the same but I could feel alright being with a man and living the "traditional" life, things would be so much smoother for me.

I know that they still have their own difficulties, but at least those difficulties (not the extreme ones like abuse) are accepted and supported by peers. I'm just so tired. I don't want to be different at all. But there's no ambiguity about it– I could absolutely never be with a man, as much as I've had opportunity and know I would be happier living that life.

I disagree. The labrys flag is pretty well known all things considered outside of Twitter, at least in the USA. Labrys has been a lesbian symbol since the 70s (again, at least in the USA) so many, many different sorts of people associate the symbol with lesbianism even if they don't remember why. More lesbians worldwide associate themselves with the labrys flag over the sunset one, since they're more in tune with their own inner turmoil (thus, the labrys,) and less concerned about fitting into some "community" "online" full of people they only share a sexuality with (if that.)
The over-adoption of the sunset flag and the shunning of the labrys one over stupid shit just feels like ageism more than anything else tbh.

Anon who made this comment here. I am in therapy now but I still feel distant from my friends. I don't feel insecure about my sexuality but it's because I tried to replicate the same thing with a different man. It just made me feel like throwing uo and made me angry that a scrote took advantage of me like that when i couldn't consent. Even looking back the way I did it felt like I was doing a chore. No passion, no love just trying to get it done and over with, I couldn't even kiss him. Not the same as when I hooked up with a woman at a club and genuinely enjoyed it.
And if any nonnies ask why as a lesbian i would even do that. I was never interested in hooking up or experimenting with guys before i got raped. It's why I've been single and waiting for a chance to date women in a safe space. But after I got raped I had to make sure. My mind was making me feel hypersexual as a trauma response. Even though hooking up with that guy made me feel so sick, I do not regret it because it assures me that I would've never consented to that and what happened was in fact rape. Yes it was a very unhealthy way to confirm it but I have no regrets. I wouldn't recommend anyone doing it though, the sickness I felt after hooking up with that guy was just the same as how I felt after getting raped.

NTA but one of the worst mistakes of my life was dating a woman like this. She'd say shit like she could never be in a straight relationship because she's bi so every relationship she has is queer. Even when I told her the word queer makes me deeply uncomfortable she wouldn't stop labelling our relationship as that. Honestly, given her avoidance of the term "lesbian relationship" and other things, I think she's lesbophobic. She was seemingly only attracted to my masculinity (she literally thinks I'm a closeted FTM) and whenever I would speak about lesbian issues she would shut me down and say she has it worse because people assume she's straight and puts out easy (even though she's described herself as slutty quite openly).

Go skim the previous threads for multiple anons - butches especially - experiences with bi women. There's good bi women out there, sure, but the majority are nightmarish handmaidens who will belittle your sexuality and the homophobia you experience while crying the blues about people thinking they're straight. They will cape for troons while they tell you that "genital preferences" can be unlearned. They'll want you to play the man lite role until a moid they're interested in comes along. These are all common experiences for the lesbians I know both on and offline. If you want a good relationship with someone who gets you, it's better to wait for another lesbian.

He's not totally wrong about that, nonnie. I've known plenty of men that got weird after hanging out with them for a while. They know I'm a lesbian but they still did stuff like sending strange texts at odd hours or act differently towards me when other men are around. There was a guy I met in college and went to parties with. We had a lot in common and the same type of humor so we always had fun. Our friend groups merged easily too. A little before graduation, he met a girl and they got serious. Not long after that he stopped hanging out with me, always making excuses for why we couldn't meet up. Not just for parties but to have lunch or go places like we used to. He continued to text me sporadically for about a year after we graduated, asking me about my life and "what I was up to", and then that was it. Last I heard was that he married the woman, I wasn't invited to the wedding. I doubt he would've just cut me off like that if I were a guy friend.

I actually agree with him and still go out of my way to avoid male friendships all these years later. The point was more that he intended this truth to push me past friendsbip into a romantic relationship with a man but it resulted in me removing men from my life instead.

I have a question for the femme lesbians in the thread, specifically those who are OFOS. To you, what does it take to be a femme? This isn't necessarily an invitation to wax poetic, I genuinely want to know. Is it your appearance, your behavior, your sexual/romantic/social connection to butches and vice-versa? It seems like there are a lot of layers to identifying as a femme lesbian that I haven't been able to understand (from what I've observed). This is coming from a lesbian who is very detached from online lesbian spaces, feels very attached to the femme label, and is having a hard time learning anything of use from the web beyond cheesy tumblr posts and useless clickbait articles from dating apps.

A tale as old as time, honestly. I believe that a friendship between a man and a woman could be possible but it's the male entitlement and chronic codependency that stands in the way. You can tell them you're a lesbian and not interested in men but then the 2 AM drunk texts start coming and they get weird and compliment your looks, and after they cut off contact entirely following a serious relationship you'll realize what they were up to all this time. I have male friends but I always have to keep them at an arm's length and constantly remind them about not being attracted to men and it does get exhausting. It's a shame because as much as I love women and hold my dearest and closest relationships with them I had a pretty masculine upbringing and sometimes I feel like my lack of female socialization makes it hard and frustrating to understand all the complex social codes, so an equal amount of my friends have always been similarly autistic men. In my experience gay men in a long-term relationship or are older than 25 are the lowest-risk males to befriend because at least you can trust them not to suddenly turn straight and confess their feelings to you.

>>325975
I love this infograph because with pride month approaching again I'm seeing all the bihets crawl out of the woodwork going "what do we need pride for anyway" and "pride makes us all look bad!!" while dating their 5th consequent tall brown haired Nigel as if they ever had to really think about their sexuality and face the real life consequences of it.

I don't know how the hell they can look at the said infograph accompanied to a post saying "this is why we want to avoid bisexuals" and then screech about lescels being mad that they won't fuck them. It's like they want lesbians to supply them with an ego trip by desiring them while being unavailable and out of reach which to be fair is basically my experience with a lot of bisexual women.

NTA but the thing for me with gay men is whether they're RPDR watching, "yass girl slay!" type guys. I know that sounds mean, but the way they treat women is revolting. I agree that older ones in long-term relationships are the safest bet. I do have one straight guy friend who's genuinely respectful of me and women in general, but he's an outlier who was raised very well by his parents. The exception that proves the rule, I guess.

There are Aidens, non-binary types and the odd transbian in attendance, but most are the chill type of troons who don't scream at you about it, apparently.

Don't worry, it's not too personal. It's actually not too bad here. I get worse treatment in cities, but I think that's because more people = more assholes, tbh. We get a few dirty looks and ofc young lads love to play the hard man and yell slurs. But I guess that's more misogyny, as I get a lot of shit because I'm butch and quite masculine looking for a woman anyway. The small town we live near and work in is actually on the up with more and more yuppies seeking refuge here, so it's surprisingly pretty chill and accepting of us most of the time. Do you live in a city, then? I've always found that worse IME as there's men hanging out in loads of places and like pack animals they get bolder the more of them they are. The one upside is having gay villages, just a shame I'm a recovering alcoholic and incredibly boring, lol. I hate how so many of our events revolve around drinking.

I'm assuming they're the type of lesbians that only date women while using queer to signal they're "one of the good ones" unlike us evil fascist dykes condemning transbians to a slow death by lack of pussy.

Not surprising tbh, people most likely to cheat are usually hyperaware about their partner's movements and think they're cheating because they know they themselves would be tempted to do so i.e. full on projection. So chronically possessive people tend to flock to polycules so that they can gather a harem for themselves but blow a lid when their partners go and cheat on them.

No. 326639

>>326633
Butches aren't a monolith, different strokes for different folks, etc etc etc. But personally, I fall to pieces when women call me handsome. I know some people see that as a male compliment, but I never got that. “Gorgeous” is good also. Complimenting our masculinity is a tightrope walk tbh because if you lean too hard into it, it's gonna make us feel like men lite. I think the key is to only say those compliments at the right moment and not overdo it. Godspeed with the flirting, nona.

No. 326669

NTA you replied to, but it didn't used to be this hard to be butch and accept compliments like handsome. I know what you mean, nowadays almost anything that acknowledges/praises the masc side of how I present makes me wonder how the other person thinks of me in terms of gender. "Man Lite" is too real.

On a different sort of subject, I feel increasingly doubtful whenever I get my hair cut at a barber. My barber is really cool, but whenever there's a guy in the chair next to me getting his hair cut I feel self-conscious. I like to experiment with my hair and recently got a mohawk. I worry that my barber and other patrons think I'm a TiM. Is this needlessly irrational and stupid, or does anyone else feel this way?

No. 326676

AYRT and yeah, I didn't used to be so self-conscious about being called handsome and pretty boy and similar compliments. I think the worst development has been the "step on on me" shit that spawned on social media. People will see a masc woman and just openly fetishise her for shits and giggles now. Makes me wanna a-log. Don't worry though, dude. I'm such a wimp I've never even visited a barber before. I'm VERY lucky that my wife used to be a hairdresser, and she also has training as a barber so she gives me great masc cuts. I have the same fear of barbers thinking I'm some sort of troon; I get enough questions as it is because of my height and build. There are those "gender affirming" LGBTQ+ hairdressers; where on the upside you won't be called a dyke or a tranny, but on the downside you will be asked for pronouns and how you identify which is the politically correct way of calling you a tranny. Before my wife I gave myself DIY cuts that were… questionable, kek.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! And that's awesome that your wife can cut your hair, it's one of those monthly expenses that sort of creeps up on you after a while, I've found. I tried an LGBT-friendly salon when I moved to the current city I reside in, and I received the most catastrophically un-textured, un-blended cut that I just gave up and said fuck it. Unfortunately I've been to way too many salons that just refuse to cut women's hair short unless it's a bob or the ole Midwestern Soccer Mom look.

The soccer mom haircut you never asked for feels like a butch rite of passage, kek. So many friends I know had the exact same experience. I ended up buzzing all my hair off because of that. I think a buzzcut suits me well, but I have a scar on my head from surgery that I'm very self-conscious about, so now I get a cut similar to picrel. My hair is curlier and a little longer, though. Sorry to post a m*n but it's very hard to find that style with my texture hair. It's a good versatile cut, though. I slick it back for work and any formal event, and leave it kinda unruly when I'm dressed more casual. I know what you mean about the expenses. I wince every time I buy styling products, thank fuck I'm not paying for my haircuts on top of that.

How you deal with being deeply in the closet? I'm from a homophobic country and my family is pretty anti-gay too (except my mom) and I'm terrified of what they might think of me. It makes me think that I'm a disappointment and a failure, moreover I have hard time relating to other lesbians (including this very thread) and never was in a relationship. At this point I'm too afraid to try and a few other lesbians I chatted with online stated their dislike in the fact that I want to stay in the closet. I glad that other women can express their sexuality without a fear of judgement (in fact I saw couples holding hands or kissing in my very conservative city) but me… I can't. I'm just thinking about all those people in my life who are close to me and how disappointment they would be.

I've also heard this statistic thrown around a lot and decided to look into it just now, and you're totally right.

According to the CDC, while lesbian and bi women do report higher rates of domestic violence, a lot of it is still done by moids: in a third of lesbian abuse cases and 90% of bisexual women's cases the perpetrators were male.
If you take moids out of the picture entirely and just look at women who are abused by their female partners, a different picture is painted entirely: as it turns out, domestic violence rates against women in heterosexual relationships are significantly higher than in same sex relationships.
In fact, when just looking at female perpetrators, the abuse rate for lesbians drops from 43.8% to 29.5%, and for bi women it drops from 61.1% to 6.4%. Contrast this with an abuse rate of 35% for hetero relationships. Obviously with bi women a lot of their relationships are not going to be same sex which skews the numbers, but that's beyond the point:
The problem here is scrotes being violent pieces of shit, not lesbians.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but it was interesting to figure out the statistics for myself and realizing just how wrongly represented they often are.

The relevant figures can be found in table 3 on page 18 (or 24 if you go by total pages in the doc), and on page 27 (or 33). These detail the prevalence of domestic violence by sexual orientation and the reported sex of the perpetrators, respectively.
It's disgusting by the way how the figures are right there and a simple equation will tell you that it's the male perpetrators who make it seem like domestic violence is more prevalent in lesbian relationships, but somehow nobody cares to connect the dots.

Hair extensions are expensive and damage your hair. Fake tan is rarely done well and gets pricey if it looks good. Cheap revealing clothes are impractical depending on the climate you live in and look… well, cheap. You can get all of these done if you like and it's cool if it makes you happy but don't be surprised when a lot of people think you are very straight.

I don't like gay women say this shit about femmes. It reeks of GNC-NLOG mentality or entitlement, either way it's intended to discourage your feminine behavior to be taken seriously as a gay woman. She could just say she's not into feminine women instead of implying only men can be attracted to feminine women. It comes across as an attempt at negging you into being au natural like traditional moids do, but with an extra step of politicizing your sexuality with your appearance. a lot of femme women lament being treated with misogyny or like straight women and that's a valid complaint when your same sex attraction is represented and accepted in media but in reality your same sex attraction is constantly questioned and scrutinized on the basis of you being too feminine. anyway there are butch women out there that respect / prefer femmes, even high femmes, and there are lesbians that don't see other women preforming femininity as an opportunity to look down on them. you just ran into a butch trying to neg like a man. sorry anon.

I keep my nails short because just growing them out even a little bit causes stuff to get under them. Whenever I see long nails, all I can think about is the buildup of dirt, food residue, skin flakes, and all sorts of nasty shit that gets trapped under them all day that would need thorough cleansing multiple times a day. I would never want to be touched anywhere by a woman with those things on her hands.

But saying "these things read as straight" isn't even a criticism, it's the truth of how a lot of people - men, women, straight, bi, gay - see women who dress like that.

I had a whirlwind of two weeks with a coworker I fancied and now I'm trying to let the hope and fantasy die of what could have been and move on. She was a cute tomboy that looked like a player (and probably was). I'm really hoping she wasn't dating someone but she only talked to me during work hours or at 11pm. She seemed all nervous when she would come near me but she said it was because she really liked me and I made her extremely nervous. She did tell me a lot about her low self esteem and asked what did I see in her. She bailed on me last minute four times when we were supposed to hang out after work and then acted like nothing the next day. I called her out on it the 3rd time and ignored her for 2 days to move on. She called me and we talked (mostly me telling her her behavior was rude af) and made plans to hang out after work. And then when she was about to give me her address her phone was at 1% and then she shut it off. So now I'm really going to just ignore her, the last time I saw her at work she said hello to me, whistled at me and then called my phone when I ignored her. Then when I went to another hallway to ignore her she pretended to follow me and laugh. I don't know what's going on but I don't want to play this game anymore. Why does she have to be the only cute lesbian around. And why do I always gravitate towards angry looking chicks with massive chips on their shoulder.

Kind of a sad post about maternity and family building.

This documentary was very interesting and important as someone who would like to be able to have kids via sperm donation. I would choose non anonymous donation for the child's sake but now I even wonder if it's even ok, hearing the now adults testimony.
I'm very torn because I came from a loving family, and deeply know how important for a child it is to be one with their mother in the womb, especially from what my adopted friend told me.
When I saw one of Jessica Kellgren video with her wife on questions about their child, and I found their question about their son conception and relationship with a father figure or his donor to be disingenious. As someone of a specific ethnic background who was raised far away from people of my ethnicity I related strongly to kids born from donation having identity issues during their childhood and teenage years. I feel strange because I would love to have a biological child to be able to give to their the experience I had to have a mother that love you before your even born, but it does feel selfish, to choose to bring a child in the world for that.

I wonder if lesbian mom's, or who are trying to have a child had similar doubt and questioning.

My wife and I are currently trying for a baby and as we're in the UK our child will have the right to get information about their biological father once they're 18. At first, it worried me a little. The thought of potentially "losing" our child to someone who merely gave us DNA. But as someone who went through their own journey to meet their biological father: I completely understand the natural urge to learn about your roots. So whatever our child chooses to do, my wife and I will stand by them. Will it hurt? A little bit, perhaps. But motherhood can't be all fun and games. With regard to race, my wife and I waited until we found the right sperm donor. Though my wife will be carrying our child, it's my egg. So we waited until a donor came up who is mixed race and from the same part of Africa as my wife. As we're both mixed, we know what it's like to feel like you don't fit in anywhere, so it was important to us that we can tell our child about the cultures they came from. I try to remind myself of my own unconventional parental situation. My biological father and I often have explosive fights and then barely talk to each other for weeks at a time. But his wife is a wonderful, empathetic woman who's been an amazing stepmum to me. I barely talk to my own mother, but her ex-boyfriend from years ago, who was only my "official" stepfather for about four years never lost touch with me after my mother broke up with him. He's been a fantastic role model for me, and I consider him to be my father, blood or no blood. If I can make this clusterfuck work, then I can handle my kid getting to know their biological father.

The love you will show your children, the knowledge of their heritage, the education about their cultures, that's what is important, not the DNA and sure they will be curious but you will be their parents, the people they trust.

Question for nonas who present as androgynous or butch, have you experienced aggression/ downright scary behaviour from moids in public?

I did constantly. Often at the gym, they would stare me down and follow me around. It was particularly bad when I was with my feminine ex-gf in public, just walking around, not even PDA. I got so tired of it I grew my hair out and dress less masculine.

I hate that I've taken the "easy" way out but the abuse from scrotes in public has dropped right off.

Don't get me wrong, I would not change a thing about being a lesbian, despite it being othered at times and feeling like an outsider with a target on your back from random strangers.

When I first moved to uni I was very androgynous (short hair, baggy clothes, sporty/straight frame, thin, no makeup, etc) and I got mistaken for being a teenage boy or gendie all the time. I live somewhere super liberal so I didn’t really get “harassed” in the normal sense but I would get weird looks from people when I was in stores, or in women’s clothing sections (although I’m sure part of this is also being brown in a White city). Oh and people would “sir” me or use the wrong pronouns.

I’m sorry that you’re having to deal with scary moids nonnie, especially in male dominated spaces like the gym. I still look somewhat androgynous (muscular, thin, baggy clothes, hair up) when I’m at the gym and I definitely get looks from men, it sucks to have to deal with. I hope you stay safe

Thanks my nonnie, it means a lot. I hope you stay safe also. I have looked into female only gyms but they’re just not as extensively equipped. I’m 5’11 and so often taller than the scrotes that seem to want to intimidate me so obviously it comes from a place of moid insecurity and neuroses. The worst bit is it stills triggers feelings of unattractiveness for me despite reasoning with myself that moids are not my target market and I’ve had plenty of women interested in me. I hope one day I can be free of this shit and just lean into being out and butch.

Ily for using this Blade Runner 2049 meme, but to answer your question: yes. The first time it happened was when I started boxing at like 14 years old. I would get boys approach me and ask me why I'm trying to act like them with how I dress and my hobbies. Some would say I actually was a man, this one moid got real psycho about it and tried following me into the womens changing rooms to find out. I was scared shitless of being sexually assaulted, but thankfully my coach heard what he was saying and pulled him away from me before anything could happen. Things got better at boxing when I started winning trophies, I earned the respect of a lot of the moids who initially reacted negatively to me. I still got verbal insults from some, though. One of my first jobs was as a bouncer, and a lot of drunk moids would try to provoke me specifically into a fight because of my butchness. It was misogyny, but it was different than the standard shit us female bouncers got. A lot of them told me that if I want to look like a man, they'll beat me like a man. Some also thought I was a troon; the curse of being a tall, fridge bodied woman with a vaguely masculine face, I guess. In my day-to-day life I get a lot of stares, some men will give me that look of "you absolutely disgust me" but it's lost its edge by now. I live in a small town, and it's mostly chill though, thank god. The gym I go to now is surprisingly accepting despite being your average dudebro boxing gym. The guy who runs it is an absolute sweetheart and if he hears anyone give me shit for how I look or my sexuality he'll have a go at them. I know most of the guys that frequent the place and have a good time there like 9/10 times. I did used to get into a lot of bar fights when I was drinking. Same shit as before, men thinking I was trying to be one of them, so they wanted to beat me into submission and prove I'm just a small and weak woman. I'm sober now, so I avoid those fights by staying out of dive bars. If my wife and I go out for dinner and dancing, we typically go to bougie places, as they're much safer. We still get looks, but I can tune that shit out. I've never gave in, though. I hid my butchness at school by having long hair and trying to dress a bit more tomboyish rather than butch. After I started dressing for myself, I vowed not to do that again. Maybe it's dumb, but I figure I owe it to myself to at least be who I want to be.

From what I've heard from my friends, not really. I find that top, bottom and vers are terms that don't really make much sense for lesbians compared to gay men. For them it's (usually) a matter of who is being penetrated and who isn't.

I can understand why stones and pillow princesses use those terms though. In reality though most of us fit the label of being 'vers' or a switch so it doesn't hold much value. Outside of the women who are pretty strict about their own role or positions, it's not a great descriptor imo

No. 330726

>>330650
I only used "top" as a descriptor before I worked through my issues that made me stone. For women I was hooking up with no intentions of dating, it was a lot easier to have that terminology to fall back on. Now that I've worked on my internalised misogyny/homophobia and issues with sex, they're redundant to me. I agree with >>330651 that most of us are "versatile". Slightly controversial opinion but I think if you want to avoid the dreaded "lesbian bed death" sticking to your role as a top or a bottom just isn't going to help. When I've been with bi women who always wanted me to be dominant and use a strap the sex got boring real quick.

Tbh in my local scene it’s also pretty common to use top and bottom in their bdsm-adjacent meanings for lesbian sex regardless of being giver/receiver. I am friends with a lot of nb/libfem sorts.

Anons, did a fictional character make you realize you were a lesbian? Koito from Golden Kamuy made me realize it in a roundabout way.
In a lucid dream, I was in a fancy bed with Koito, and I thought to myself that, logically, he should be sexy. I tried imagining him under the bed covers but the thought was repulsive. Then I came to the realization that I only found certain types of women attractive. Because I don't find drawn women attractive at all, I didn't connect two and two together until adulthood. I assumed it translated across reality for everybody but it doesn't. I was no longer debating being a fakeboi (I was imagining myself being his mate Tsukishima, not myself necessarily) and someone heterosexual in one fell swoop. Thank you Koito.

I recently lost a lot of my friends for lesbian related reasons. We didn’t fight or fall out, but they’re all active political lefties and all they can do is shit on “terfs” and cancel people they don’t like for being nazis. I know it’s only a matter of time before they come for me, as I do not believe lesbians can change and like penis because a man identifies as a woman. The irony is that they truly believe they are standing up for LGBT rights, but don’t seem to see the homophobic elements of it all. I feel like no one truly gets it but my (amazing) girlfriend.

AYRT. My point is, it sucks how the only spaces that know what "lesbian" actually means are political-oriented and skew too young, since back when I was on radblr there were a lot of bloggers in the 16-24 range and so were the servers. I have a lot of criticisms towards online radfem spaces, but I don't see a point in sticking around or even outright joining spaces dedicated to them just to shit talk them.

When I used Tumblr I would just find "cryptos" by skimming the notes of posts that are TERFy or just common sex (ex. posts that criticize libfems, sex work, hook up culture) and scroll the likes for blogs that look "normal" (don't have or reblog from obvious radfem usernames) or don't post politics 24/7.

Honestly nona your best bet is unironically r/actuallylesbian. I've been there for a few months and everyone there has been chill. There's very little twaw talk if any and the troons who try to interact get downvoted to hell. Most know and understand they aren't wanted there so participation tapers off. Overtly antitroon messages get removed to keep the sub up but otherwise there is very little censorship of lesbians. It's definitively the best lesbian subreddit stiff competition, I know

Sage for double posting

So radfems aren't bad per se. It's more that many try to police female sexuality (obviously including female homosexuality) in a way that is reductive. I've met radfems who say that lesbians can't or shouldn't enjoy any romance that isn't lesbian. Some are retarded and believe the world should conform to their views.

Radfems have some great takes here and there especially regarding troons but some need to back off lesbians. It's tiring hearing straight women moaning about how their sexuality is inferior to mine because 'I don't have to date my oppressor' while simultaneously treating me like a potential predator because I'm attracted to exclusively women.

NTA but radical feminism (feminism in general, really) has been excluding lesbians ever since it started. I don't get how other lesbians are surprised when we bash it, unless you're literally a teenager or something. This has never been our movement, I might agree with a lot of what radfems say, but I'll die before I call myself one. Not only do they exclude and denigrate us on the basis of our homosexuality (no, I don't buy that it's being SSA in general because bi women coast by just fine in these spaces) but they're also downright vitriolic towards butches. They assume that if you're butch or date a butch you're copying heterosexual dynamics which are bad, but perfectly fine when they do it with their Nigel. I could go on, but I'm not getting banned for a-logging, kek.

I’ve literally never seen that happen from radfems. That just sounds like Lchat bullshit a la >>323996
It’s interesting that this is your complaint while >>331440 says the opposite, that radfems love her just because she’s a “based butch” even though she doesn’t like radfems, kek. I feel like a lot of people who hate radfems must be getting their impressions from twitter or something because the complaints are often totally opposite, which makes sense because “radfems” on twitter just say any retarded bullshit they want and claim they’re radical feminists with no consistency at all other than hating troons

NTA but personally my main problem with radfems isn't the ideology, but what became of the community which in turn affects the integrity of the ideology as a whole. Such as the increasing amount of tradthinking within their rows and the similar cultish behavior they accuse libfems of having. Like if you don't agree or have doubts about a point another more prolific radfem made you're immediately penalized for it and singled out, or if you use the wrong terminology you get flagged and corrected because of the unnecessary obsession with semantics over substance. These are just examples, there are naturally more.

As for the tradthinking, I hate gay male misogyny just as much as anyone else but they really test the waters of passing unveiled homophobia as "based manhate" and advocate for the belief that gay people are pedophile rapists which really sounds like a slippery slope as they often sneak in butchphobia in there too, especially when talking about FTMs. I'm someone who desisted and I have immense sympathy for lesbian FTMs because I know where they're coming from, so the "they're all stupid yaoi addicted straight girls in denial who want to look like teenage boys" narrative is like poison to me. They really can't use the "transing is just a new form of conversion therapy" argument when they actively throw HSTSs and lesbian FTMs traumatized by the homophobic society under the bus at any given chance. Simultaneously they wear sexuality like a costume and you can smell the polilez from a mile away, so many of them try to desperately hide having a husband or fake being a lesbian.

And the racism is a given too. There are tons of receipts of racism in the radfem circles because it comes in with fraternizing with white supremacists who they hang on to because "they're willing to give us a voice". So many extreme radfems are the insecure kind who are just one redditoid boyfriend away from succumbing to a tradwife larp.

>>331508

NTA again but radfems use butches as lap dogs, or more accurately mascots. They think butches owe them obedience for their GC activism and latch onto them for that reason, but god forbid if you disagree with them. Then you're a gender traitor who's probably set for the aiden pipeline anyway and not worth having her rights protected. The bihets of the movement also treat butches like men lite who can substitute for a subservient Nigel until they're ready for the real deal.

Lmfao it's always amusing to see random mentions of her, she is truly notorious. I've only interacted with her a handful of times but her discord server was a cesspit so I'm not at all surprised that trouble follows her everywhere. She loves it though, that's for sure.

>>331508
I'm the based butch anon and I've seen it happen, what now. No community is a monolith, there are absolutely radfems who think butches are toxic and male-aligned. That's of course not the only kind of radfem that exists, there are others like radfems who think butches need to be politically involved 10/10 role models which is a huge thing to put on a woman who just wants to exist. The reasons radblr sucks are multiple, depends on the subtype of radfem retardation. And the no true scotsman thing isn't gonna work, these people are all radfems because they say they are and they largely do believe in the politics. You don't get to cherrypick the sane sounding ones and say they're the true radfems and the rest are fake ones. One does not need to be free of contradictions in order to belong to an ideological group. If that were the case, nobody would be part of any ideology because we all contradict our politics in some way. Radical ideology in particular is prone to having followers who say crazy shit because it's radical. The people involved will be debating wild ideas and there will be embarrassing, weird, aggravating takes by design. I'm not saying radfems are a uniquely retarded and loathsome group but due to our proximity they are more grating than some other groups because we rub shoulders.

>radfems use butches as lap dogs, or more accurately mascots. They think butches owe them obedience for their GC activism and latch onto them for that reason, but god forbid if you disagree with them
This has been a theme with my experience both on and offline. My gender non-conformity gets politicised, I'm told how I'm soooo based and cool and then after one single civil disagreement I get told that, ackshully, I'm only gonna troon out anyway. That I'm clearly copying straight men by dressing in mens clothes and having similar hobbies, and emulating heterosexual dynamics because apparently radfems are fucking clairvoyants who know how my marriage functions and how I have sex. The fact you immediately assumed I got my impressions of radfems off of twitter or lchat speaks volumes, kek. As the old adage goes… touch grass.

To lazy to tag everyone I'm responding to lol but wrt radfems and butches, I think the problem is that (the specific radfems we're complaining about because it's obv not a monolith) approve of GNC/androgynous women and confuse that with approving of butches. Like it's admirable to be a woman with short hair and comfortable clothing, but women who cross over into explicitly masculine presentation or personality or hobbies are heteronormative or trying to be men or dangerously close to being TIFs.

she's drama-hungry and thrives off feeling superior, she just harnesses it in a less navel-gazey way than gendies. she looks normal if you scroll her blog every once in a while, but if you follow her then the consistent stream of callout posts and conflict-chasing gets draining. Many of thise callouts are against racists and lesbophobic rads iirc which is good, but occasionally she'll get too caught up in the rush and do shit like accuse a Spanish womam of being racist because she talked about the same issues as LatAm radfems instead of just shutting up and reblogging, and because Spain once had colonies. This drama-mongering was successful, her followers started dogpiling on the Spanish woman and anonymously calling her the n-word, and she shortly after deactivated her blog.

I feel like a lot of people around me assume that I'm trans and just too cowardly to tell them but I'm just an extremely butch lesbian with a masculine nickname. I've never gone by my legal name in my life, it's long and hard to say so I've always gone by the shortened version or another name altogether. And you know what's weird?

Being flat chested doesn't help my case, I have been asked if I had keyhole top surgery before, but man, I gotta start putting people straight.

But even though the retard with a chromosomal issue is trolling, it's a perfect example for the anon asking why lesbians here don't want to be around radfems. They fake concern over GNC lesbians and gays being pressured to troon out and claim to be appalled by the "modern day conversion therapy" manipulating them, but when push comes to shove they won't hesitate for a moment to insult them and call them misogynist and homophobic slurs and withdraw their support, like hardcore seething over gay men putting on makeup or lesbian women presenting actually masculine. Suddenly those poor misled lesbians turn into misogynist cunts who deserve to be seen as freaks for their "mutilated zipper tit bodies". Many of us still sympathize (i.e. understand why they feel this way) with those who felt their only option was to "fix themselves" by transitioning, even if we disagree with their decision. A lot of modern radfems genuinely don't and their support for women's rights is highly conditional.

One of my in-laws are having a baby rn. The other in-laws had a new baby last year. Both are accidents. In fact I'm pretty sure all their kids are accidents. And both sets of parents are complete nightmares. Like, the last people you'd want having children. I'm jealous and angry and I wish I wasn't because it makes me feel pathetic. They can have children by total accident! An entire BABY. By accident. That's so fucking wild to begin with. And then they bitch and moan about it and do a terrible job of raising it and I would give anything to be in their position. Like fine, if you're so opposed to birth control and abortions then I will raise your child and I won't be giving them pepsi and an ipad before they can even walk. I won't be hitting them with a switch. I won't swear at them or laugh when they get hurt. It's not fair. I'm not claiming I'm the best person on earth to raise a baby but why does it get to happen on accident to these fucking idiots who don't even want one?

Honestly, how the FUCK are people not having safe sex in the year of our Lord 2023? Most straight people take the creation of life so lightly… "oops! brought another person into this earth!". The other day I heard a co-worker use the phrase "oops baby" in reference to her youngest child and I actually clenched my fists involuntarily. My jaw and neck were tight as fuck, my temperature felt like it was soaring. It made me want to flip my desk and punch a wall, but also made me feel like I was about to burst out crying. For clarification, I don't hate this woman. It's just the lightness with which the creation of life is discussed that angers me. Regardless of my situation with fertility and wanting a kid, people should be fucking careful. You're bringing a child into this world who will be dependent on you for 18 years minimum and will also be majorly shaped by your actions.

You and me both, holy shit. I feel like people should be required to take classes and shit, like as soon as you get your ultrasound done you have mandatory parenting courses and household evaluations and shit to make sure everything's up to par. In Finland they send a baby box to expecting mothers, stuff they need to get started. I feel like that kind of thing is a good start to what I'm talking about. Babies don't ask to get made and they only get one shot at life. It should be a good one.

Thank you, nona. I wish it was easier for us, too. I'm lucky to be at a point in my life where the financial cost of IVF isn't a stress, but the emotional toll is indescribable. It completely changed our lives, and we've had babies on the brain 24/7 for months now. We've decided to take a break before trying again. We're gonna have a summer of fun and focus on ourselves again, and then decide when we're ready to have another crack at it. Third time's the charm, let's hope. I agree people should be given classes in parenting, and I also think sex education needs radical changes to it as it's clearly not fit for purpose.

I know how you feel. For a long time I didn't think I had what it takes to be a mother and I would tell people that it's not for me and all I got back was "you'll get the hang of it!" like Jesus Christ, I just told you I'm struggling with mental illness and trauma from my own shitty childhood and that's your answer?! If I told people I was going to climb Everest without any mountain climbing lessons would I get told I'll "get the hang of it" or would I (rightly) be called crazy? I don't get this double standard when it comes to babies. Granted, emotions do kick in and help you a little. I was a nervous wreck prior to the birth of my little sister, but once she was born things kinda clicked for me. Like ok, I'm gonna do my best to protect you now. I'll take a bullet for you. But ofc that doesn't nullify any mental issues or give you the knowledge needed to raise a child.

Glad I'm not alone in feeling like that. I feel like a lot of straight people take parenthood for granted and genuinely do not care that they are having an active impact on another human's development.

To give your child a better upbringing than your own should be an aim for every parent and it irks me that it isn't.

I’m getting depressed on dating apps because I promised myself not to swipe on women with pronouns and every interesting gorgeous andro woman who I know I would get along with has she/they in bio. I’m considering flexing my rule but I know I should stay strong… I have very close friends who have pronouns and are super normal about it and I always respect their desires. I just feel like I would wind up feeling like I was hiding things from a woman who believed in gender ideology if we could get into a relationship. I wish this could even be like any other ideology where you can say, “I respect your beliefs but I have very different ones, let’s talk about them” without getting excommunicated, because I honestly don’t care what other people call themselves. I just don’t want to hide what I believe and feel like I’m walking on eggshells. I can’t risk outing myself to anyone at all in my tiny city. The thing that makes me most crazy is knowing that if I didn’t stumble on radblr five years ago and instantly peak, I would have she/they in bio too, it’s completely random and has nothing to do with our personal compatibility.

So true, recently a lesbian acquaintance told me about when her straight male friend made her sit through dozens of hours of a porn game with him like it was a funny joke. I would have scrubbed that guy from my life but I guess we're supposed to be accepting of male sexuality, right? FML

No matter what changes everyone will always hate homosexuals both liberals and conservatives. Liberals just rebounded it as scapegoating homosexual people especially lesbians as any time we speak out we're either nlogs or terfs. Most lgbt organisations center around gender specials or spicy straights. Conservatives wouldn't waste a chance to give us the death penalty for existing.

i just need to vent about a girl i've been talking to the past few months.

she's literally the first woman i went on a date with irl, everyone else i met online ghosted me or said they wanted to meet up but never followed through. it just feels like a friendship - which is on me because i have major issues being physically intimate. we hold hands all the time and cuddled a bit when she slept over but that's about it. i want to kiss her but have never found the right moment, and i don't wanna make her uncomfortable.

does anyone find it hard to be romantic? i feel like i'm ruining this tbh. i wanna be able to date and have sex but i'm so fucking autistic i'm not sure what to do - we've been hanging out and talking for months. i just don't know how to initiate anything without making it awkward.

i think i'm gonna talk to her about it and share how i'm feeling and let her know i'm bad at physical intimacy but this has just been making me feel so bad. i'm in my early 20s and never properly dated and it just feels like i don't know how to love. i also had a rule when i was on dating apps that i wouldn't date gendies, and try to only date other lesbians. but she's bi (date men but never had sex or anything) and goes by 'any pronouns' (but she's said she isn't trans she just doesn't care - but she has considered it before and owns a binder). this doesn't really have much to do with anything but i'm pretty honest about my opinions aside from outright saying i don't believe in being trans lol. but i have thought about whether our conflicting opinions may have issues in the future? also have no idea how quickly people are supposed to go from talking to dating - like at one point is it okay to be like 'okay let's be date now'.

Being straightforward pays off imo, as a fellow autist. If you're clear about liking her and struggling with initiating then the right person for you would find that lovable. Also, it's totally fine to start dating at this point but you could have done it sooner or can do it later too. Her being bi and being politically different are things you can worry about if you wanna worry but life is short and if it feels good just go for it. Even heartbreak is a memory made, be a lesbian today.

My partner is literally the love of my life. We've been moved in together for about a month now and everything's just been so perfect. She's truly the most amazing human being on the planet. She's sweet, caring, thoughtful, handsome, funny, diligent, clever, intelligent, attentive, ambitious. And so, so cute. She's cuddly and touchy, and the way she cups my face and holds me makes me melt. Whenever she looks at me, she smiles and her face lights up, and she's always so excited and enthusiastic to hear about my day or creative endeavors. She's also the best sex partner I've ever had, and our chemistry is amazing. I'm so thankful I'm with her, and that I'm the lucky person who gets to wake up beside her each day. I really understand the phrase "other half" now, because I feel whole when I'm with her, and I feel like I've been evolving into a better version of myself just by being around her… we compliment each other so well, and I feel so relaxed and calm in her presence. It's just funny, because I had no luck with dating apps yet I met her on a roleplaying forum. Can't believe I met the woman I'm going to marry one day through fandom, kek.

Feeling shame for seeing different women before I settle down and date. How common is this among lesbians? Until recently I wouldn't have even dared to see more than just one woman at a time and only looking to date the next if the current relationship didn't work out. Turns out most people will date around before settling on dating one person. Maybe it's just startling since it's the first time I've been able to have more that one romantic interest at once.

It's been building up for at least the past 2 years and it's why I cut down on my lolcow time to just a few select threads and rarely visit /ot/ anymore. It started with a-logging relatively harmless Aidens, then male homosexuals thinly veiled as manhate or anti-tranny sentiments, then proceeded to calling butch lesbians misogynist troon eggs and now it's just full mask off homophobia they're not even attempting to hide. Told people this would happen years ago when they were overlooking the first traces of homophobia and farmers dismissed it. It's not even all scrotes, there are plenty of actual female posters who genuinely think homosexuality is disgusting be it a gay man or a lesbian woman, no matter how much they try to whitewash it as their "no no I just hate faggots they're all pedophiles!" garbage. Someone is going to jump on me for this too, but at least some people are realizing what's going on.

To be honest a homophobic slur is a homophobic slur and "faggot" irks me just the same as using "dyke" as an insult even though I'm not a gay man. But I'm not black either and I would feel just as bad about someone using the N word too since it's still verbal abuse and using a word that has historically been used to damage an underhanded group. It sends a signal to certain groups that they're welcome to spread bigoted ideologies because it starts with "oh it's just a word kek go back to twitter" and spirals from there. I even agree that bisexual men are notorious for being misogynistic prison gay degenerates (that's literally every bi man I know) but a lot of the gay male hate I've seen around stems from purebred homophobia. As a lesbian I will always side eye someone who says shit like "I hate faggots but lesbians are cool you know" even if you're SSA because you know it never ends with "just hating faggots". And I would feel the same if a gay man said shit like "dykes are disgusting".

Were you raised religious, and are you religious now? I ask because I was raised quite strictly and I have a LOT of shame about sleeping and dating around before marriage. I've been with over 30 women and I don't even know the true number because of my heavy drinking and drug use at the time. Casual sex is such a soulless activity (just my opinion, other anons feel free to go nuts) and now I'm with my wife I just wish I saved myself for her. Hindsight is a bitch, but life isn't perfect. It's so easy to get sucked into the nightlife and become a serial dater when you first get onto the gay scene and start feeling confident with your sexuality. I've always had issues with feeling unattractive too, so there was an element of validation when I would hook-up with someone. All in all, I wouldn't sweat it too much. There's nothing inherently wrong with it so long as you're open and upfront with the women you're with. If any woman thinks less of you for dating around, then she's not worth your time.

Bleeding usually occurs from penetration being too vigorous. Something too big and/or you're going too fast. I know this is TMI, but do you warm each other up? Even if it's just your fingers you should start gently. Also, is there any pain, specifically tightness? If there's a lot of tightness it could be something like vaginismus. If not and you're still bleeding despite being cautious, I'd suggest seeing a doctor.

No. 334784

>>334698
This has been discussed in these threads ad nauseam. Sometimes these terms are used out of convenience, but mostly lesbians don't use them. With all due respect, I think your inexperience might've forced you into a role out of shyness, perhaps? When I first started having sex I was purely a stone top, not because I wanted to be one though. I didn't know what to do or how to communicate my needs. I also had some issues with internalised misogyny and homophobia. The sex was satisfactory, but not earth-shattering. You and your girlfriend need to have a long conversation about sex, your needs, desires, boundaries, etc. Avoid top/bottom terminology and be absolutely honest with each other so you can work out what you both want. Variety is also important if you want a long term relationship, so maybe open yourself up to experimentation. I don't mean you have to get into any kink shit, just shake things up a lil to avoid boredom. As a married woman I'm very happy I worked on my hang-ups and learned to communicate because it'd suck to be stuck being the dominant stone top for the rest of my life. Some people do stick to those roles because they genuinely like them, don't get me wrong. But a lot of lesbians I know went through a phase similar to me where they just ended up performing a role because of inexperience, stereotyping, shyness and lack of communication.

There's nothing too basic if you both enjoy each other's company, especially if combined with enjoying food together before or after the activity.

Sounds good to me. If you're looking to do something more memorable, I'd recommend doing an activity and grabbing something to eat whilst walking.

For example, taking your date to a gaming bar. You can have some friendly banter and solid fun before heading yo get some street food. That way the two of you can go on a walk or find somewhere nice to sit.

I find that these more memorable dates are more memorable and gives you a chance to see a woman's real sides outside of the first date front.

I've only had experiences with hook-ups and cruising IRL but I would assume anyone down for casual sex would state it in their bio, or at least put a little hint about "no strings fun" in there. If I were you I'd test the waters with banter, I know banter is hard as a fellow autist, but once you git gud it's an invaluable tool.

I'm currently not interested in a romantic relationship (I don't feel ready for one and it seems overrated to be, but I've never been in love so maybe I don't get it), but I still wanted something that's beyond friendship (hence FWB), but it doesn't seem to be something lesbians near me want at all.

Thanks for your advice. Because I live in a small place, I'm very hesitant to put anything like that in my bio.

Probably I just need to get over it, or find some site/app that lets you just tick a box saying you're up for casual stuff. I don't even know where I would start with IRL hook-ups. We have one gay bar that's 95% male, and it's seen as weird to go on your own.

I'm also worried about moids or getting taken advantage of in some way if I use more casual sex focused sites (which seem like 100% moids anyway) because of my inexperience too.

AYRT, the few times I found women nearby interested in casual sex with women, they had a boyfriend, so I refused. I've read horror stories of bi women bringing their boyfriend without telling when hooking up with lesbians, so I decided that I'm not going to go for bi women when it comes to casual sex. But only bi women seem to be interested in it. Makes me feel like a fake lesbian in a way for currently not wanting to U-Haul like everyone else.

When I had to travel a lot for my old job I would either cruise the gay district, hopping from bar to bar, basically just giving "the look" to gauge interest. Or I'd try my luck at night in 24 hour gyms; I know the latter sounds weird, but I met a lot of women like myself who were into weightlifting and/or combat sports that way. They typically make up most of the women dedicated enough to work out at night and back then most who were into those things were bi or gay. Didn't even need to talk and pretend things were actually going anywhere beyond sex like in gay bars which was a huge bonus. These encounters were all in cities or big towns though, the town I'm from doesn't even have a gay bar. So I guess this is only applicable if you can travel. I know that sucks though, taking the night bus as an obvious lesbian (I'm butch) is super risky, at least where I'm from anyway.

sage for incoming blogpost / vent.

i recently broke up with a libfem i'd been dating for a few months and now i'm immediately back on lolcow / in radfem communities to heal and it sounds silly but i'm so grateful to have female spaces like this. the more i surrounded myself with tifs / libfems, the more susceptible i was to giving into "pressure" and letting them call me they/them pronouns and using a chosen name so i could "fit in". i felt really lost for a while after going through a bad breakup two years ago and thought that i should just give up and be trans already. (i was in radfem communities at the time, but really depressed and bored too). every other butch lesbian in my area is a "transmasc dyke" or "fagdyke" etc. i honestly began to feel jealous of how masculine they looked. they could put on muscle mass quickly, had husky voices. but that's about it that appealed to me (i don't want chin pubes or a dry vag).
i've only ever dated femmes, but all of them have had had tif exes. the libfem i recently broke up with would treat me like a man and called my clit a dick at first because she wasnt sure if calling it a clit would 'give me dysphoria'. she was a self appointed pillow princess and only wanted me to fuck her with a strapon. at some point it felt like self harm to be around her and in the lib community especially as a gnc butch lesbian. no one wanted to acknowledge mine or other butch women's womanhoods. i found myself choosing not to have deep conversations with her because we couldn't get past anything without bringing up trans bullshit and i didn't want to break it to her that i'm transphobic. we ended up breaking up because she wanted to be poly and fucked one of her friends behind my back. long story short, please don't date libfems.

but it's been a week since then and i'm feeling a lot better after revisiting my feminist roots, reading dworkin, reflecting on myself, etc. but i'm sad that finding other women like me irl feels impossible. i wish trans ideology never became this mainstream and popular. i wish i had butch friends irl to pass their wisdom onto me and give me some healthy community and support.
if any nonas have advice for healing / finding community i'd be interested in hearing. sorry for the rant, thanks in advance. hope everyone's having a nice day.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Before I met my wife I was in a relationship with a bisexual libfem for about three years; though towards the end it felt like I'd lost a decade to this woman. We were very different on paper: I'm a middle eastern, working class immigrant who's semi-religious and she's a white, middle class reddit atheist. It shouldn't have worked, but we had crazy chemistry at the start. I'm butch and when we were in the friendship stage I explained to her how I'd been treated like a man in the past and how much it fucked me up. She told me how awful that was, how my dress, hobbies and mannerisms didn't take away from my womanhood and it was like, yes! Finally someone gets it! At the start we would even laugh about troons but the thing is, she's at university studying gender studies crap relating to videos games. Yes. You can get a degree in that. She's actually pursuing a PHD for it currently and I have to laugh at how devalued universities are. Anyway, I digress. Naturally this choice of study attracted libfems and troons and slowly but surely her attitude changed. We would talk politics, I would vent about how lesbians in general were treated as the enemy and there was always a "yes, but…". But hey, I figured we could agree to disagree, and for a while we did. Things were going well. My dumb ass kinda fell for her tbh; though I met her when getting out of an abusive relationship and put her on this pedestal for it. So make of that what you will. Sexually, things were starting to get repetitive though. At first we would frequently make love with no toys and no overtures of top/bottom. Toys were just an occasional thing, but she started asking for the strap-on more and more. Then she wanted me to be more dominant, then rougher, then she wanted me to choke her. She would send me het pornography telling me to fuck her like the man was fucking that woman. For a while I obliged, though I refused to choke her for obvious reasons. She called me "vanilla" for this. We were just fucking at this point, no love involved. She never called my clit a dick, thank fuck. Though that's because she rarely reciprocated. I was semi-stone then, I had some issues to work out so I can't blame her entirely for that but… well, she never cared to talk to me about it. She clearly liked the pillow princess arrangement and often sent me "funny" memes about being a pillow princess. Despite the flaws this woman meant a lot to me, she had met my friends, even met my mother briefly. I only met a handful of her friends, two of them were cringe FTM Les Mis LARPers. Wish I was making this up. I asked if I could take her parents out for dinner to meet them, after all my gf was talking marriage at this point but there was always a reason why I couldn't. When she made new friends on her course there was always a reason why I couldn't meet them too. I started hanging out with my friends more, fed up of her bullshit by this point. One of my friends ID'd as FTM at that time but decided to detransition. When I told my gf this, she looked at me with anger in her eyes and said "have you been telling him radfem stuff?". This crushed me. FTM or not, this was a dear friend and her accusation hurt me. This snowballed into an argument where I let out all my repressed rage at her. The digs at me being "low class", being stupid for dropping out at 15, for being religious, the way she hid me, it all came out and it led to us finally breaking up. Honestly, it was such a relief to get shot of her. I don't miss her at all, as bad as that sounds. I think I just clung to her for so long because she "saved" me from an abusive relationship. I also healed in radfem adjacent communities. I don't consider myself a redfem but agree with a lot of what they say and it was nice to talk freely about my opinions without being branded a TERF. It's been a long, strange odyssey since then but I'm now living my best, vanilla life with my wife. Part of what helped me heal was physical hobbies. Being with a libfem can lead to that mind/body disconnect: "I was born as X, but I identify as Y". When you're doing something physical, working with your body towards a certain goal, you realise this isn't just a meat sack you inhabit; you are this meat sack. I swim, cycle, lift weights, and do combat sports. The latter being great for venting your rage. I naturally found my community through doing these physical hobbies and through volunteer work. A lot of women who volunteer to help other women will be radfem adjacent. They'll keep it quiet of course, plenty of libfems volunteer too, but you'll naturally find each other if you spend enough time together. Another game changer for me was formally deciding to only date lesbians. I know this is a controversial topic in this thread, but if you're butch/GNC I think bisexual women can potentially be very bad for you. Hope you find your community too, nona. There's plenty of women like us out there, we just keep it on the down low in this current political climate. I wish you all the best in your future. Godspeed, nona.

IMO even as a hardcore femme I avoid most bi women in a romantic sense, because oftentimes bi women are virtually straight or tend to have this weird hang-up about taking their f/f relationships as seriously as when they're with men. Like. "I think women are really hot but I can't see myself in a marriage with one" is a common take that I've heard from them. It's rather difficult to find other lesbians but I think it's definitely worth the trouble

AYRT, can't recommend taking self-defence classes enough. In this day and age, I strongly believe all women need to learn it. Specifically, how to fight men and use their size and weight against them. Sorry to hear you're from Portland, though. My wife is a burger, she's from Noo Yawk but lived in Portland for about a year and has some war stories to tell about what it's like to be a lesbian there. It can't be easy being butch as well.

>>336326
Learn to read. Anon said she called her clit that at first because she thought calling it otherwise would make her dysphoric because in typical libfem fashion she assumed that as a butch, anon was obviously some flavour of "transmasc". You know what's also a red flag? The phrase "cuntbags".

>>336428
Yeah I've heard bi women say that a LOT and it really grinds my gears. "b-b-but men can offer more romantically!" yeah, and I'm the fucking Pope. I've heard some people excuse it by saying it's internalised homophobia, but I don't buy it. If it was they wouldn't fuck lesbians in the first place.

Nonnies I unironically want to neck myself after seeing the amount of extremely aggressive homophobia that explodes all over the place during pride month. I genuinely don't give one shit about "reeee all these alphabet kweer kinkster people making us look bad" gaslighting, it's all straight people weaponizing it against us when 99.99% of pride are completely normal, well-adjusted people who just want to live their lives out in peace. I don't even care about the trans question anymore, I'm exhausted by people using it as a sneaky way to pass homophobia into the conversation and faking concern for trannies taking away lesbian rights and spaces when in reality they don't care. I'm tired of caping for straight women when they would never do the same for me and instead brand me a potential predator as if I wanted to ever touch a fucking Nigel wrangler.

Things were getting better with how society treats homosexuals in recent years, but then trannies ruined everything by bringing too much attention to the "community". Some straight people I know are catching on and separating the TQ+, which really gives me hope. But it's not enough, like you said, more and more straight people have now learned how to be sneakily homophobic and get away with it. For the first time in years I've started carrying a boot knife again. As a butch I feel way too visible and it's making me anxious.

I had to stop hanging around internet radfems because this is how everyone feels about it, they honestly think we should burn pride flags and go back in the closet forever as penance for childhood transition laws. I'm getting sick of shitting on misguided leftists when the alternative is insane right wing religious groups. It's actually a lot easier to find common ground with a confused 19-year old catgender than a hardcore Catholic.

Seriously. When the pandemic calmed down and I started socializing again I realized how much better I got along with those dreaded ~ libfems ~, i.e. normal feminists who just don't wish death on trannies than terminally online "radfems" who lick right wing boots because their podcast host said troon bad since after all most of them are addicted to male validation and willing to sacrifice lesbians as collateral damage for a platform. I'm GNC and mainstream feminists seem to be relieved and even inspired when they realize I still identify as a woman, they just go by the "live and let live" idea when it comes to trans people. I feel nice inside when I see people carrying rainbow pins or bags during June because even though we have equal rights legally we're still largely seen as degenerates to be fixed, and our rights can be drastically reduced in one fell swoop if we're not vigilant enough. That's why we need pride.

NTA but this is how things have been for me at work. At first a lot of the older women (40-60 age range) approached me with kiddy gloves as they thought a woman as masculine as me must surely identify as some sort of troon. At first I was like "fucking hell, here we go again" with the questions about my identity but once I made it clear that the only thing that matters to me is my biological sex, they were fine. A couple of the older women had never met a lesbian before, and had a few questions for me, but they were very respectful about it. They mainly wanted to know if I was born this way and why I bodybuild and dress the way I do. That was it. Whippersnappers these days will tell you "nooo, don't let people ask questions about your sexuality!!!" and not realise that that's how you alienate people. Sure, some people (mostly moids) will push boundaries and ask about your sex life, but most people are just curious. It is human nature to be nosy, after all. Particularly older people who previously led a somewhat sheltered life. It's better they ask people questions and try to learn, rather than purposefully staying ignorant. These women are now great work friends, and as I met my wife at work they even came to our wedding. One of them knitted a gay pride flag to put up at work and it's such a cute gesture. I think lesbians are safer with the liberal "live and let live" types rather than the radfem "say one thing I disagree with and I'll call you a dyke" types.

99% of TEHMs piss me off because they only started caring about the cotton ceiling/trans issue when it started affecting them. Even though gay male clubs still exist, Grindr is still used for gay male hookups, I do see gay men smeared on social media for not liking pussy, but the power imbalance between a TIF and a man is the opposite of a TIM with a woman. Gay men can still openly talk about liking dick and gay sex and a whiny TIFcel won't affect his life, but it's the opposite for lesbians. I can respect the ones who at least agree with basic 101 feminist concepts (ex. anti-porn/anti-prostitution/critical of hookup culture), but I've seen so many just post porn constantly on their blogs.

Not even that. If you look at gay communities online, like reddit, you will see gay men pay A LOT less attention to trans stuff in general. Yeah, a lot of them are gc and “terfs”, but they don’t really talk about it much and sure as hell don’t bring feminist talking points in. All of the “discourse” - if it can be even named that way - is extremely primitive (at least from what I’ve seen). I think TEHMs just like to hang out in radfem circles because they know they can get easy asspats and attention for something they would get laughed at in their communities. Idk how to say it, but all of their le epic meme dunks on trannies are so disingenious cause I know they would all be quiet if there were any gay men around and not just fawning fag hags

Brilliant point nona. I honestly find most of us are just moderates who just want to be left alone. I hate how my sexuality is used as a shield and a costume by people who will never experience lesbianism. It's so tiring to hear men who don't take me seriously or think that this is a phase pretend to 'defend' me. All of these people are dishonest and tiring.

I want to be able to date women without being told I'm not inclusive enough.

I want to be able to talk about women without being chastised for having a type.

I want to be able to date without having to tip-toe over egg shells so that people don't flip out. My hobbies aren't 'lesbian enough' or apparently liking a male character 'basically makes me straight'. I can't even like things or do things without judgement.

I'm so tired of it all. Why is it that women can't just be without men coming in and telling us how to live? Why can't some women be open to letting go of their need for male validation? What do you get by bullying me into being something I'm not?

Sorry for the long rant nonnies but I'm just so frustrated with the whole radfem/tra shit online. I hate how it filters into real life. Being asked if being a lesbian is bigotted was the last straw. Thinking of just abandoning twitter so I can avoid it.

Though it's not as if gay men are completely free of any kind of danger, while we have to deal with rapey trannies gay men get beat up and killed by insecure bihet men who suddenly have a gay panic moment and maul them to death driven by their own internalized homophobia. That's how hatecrime'd HSTSs die. I'm bringing this up because we shouldn't forget that the society is still very homophobic overall and causes minority stress for all of us and not understanding the struggles each of us have is a part of the divide and conquer strategy, in the end the biggest threat all of us (lesbian, bi and straight women and gay men) have are the opposite sex attracted men. One of the reasons why I gave up on radfem circles was because I grew tired of "who has it worse" circlejerking opening doors to right wing tradtards who love to use it against us. While we were busy arguing over troons they passed medieval laws in Florida so that now you literally can't mention homosexuality in a public school or you'll be fired, yet straight radfems are still acting like some autistic tranny overdosing on social media is the biggest threat to lesbians and that's why we need to rub shoulders with homophobic right wingers who actually want us gone, married to a man and preferably impregnated with no bodily autonomy or birth control.

That said, I don't know that many GC gay men but then again all of my other lesbian friends (including my girlfriend) are anti-GC too and believe in TWAW (even if they wouldn't date them themselves) but remain reasonably sensible about it. The only people who I know to be aggressively antitrans are straight or polilez and the way they fawn over men (either the gay male they faghag for or their own Nigel who's totally not like other Nigels) and are quick to turn against any lesbian makes me really question how much of their concern for our safety is real.

NTA. I 100% agree with you, but my issue is how performative a lot of GC gay men/TEHMs are about the cotton ceiling issue, because the power imbalance of heterosexual TIFs with men is the opposite of heterosexual/bisexual TIMs and women. HSTS TIMs also tend to only hurt other men (ex. the trope of the gay TIM who chases after straight men to "feel like a real woman" - a lot of HSTS skinwalk women in a way similar to AGPs, but it's for the sake of trying to attract these straight men), while AGP men tend to affect everyone. It's hard to really jump on the "LG solidarity" train when a lot of gay men support TRA shit since most don't face consequences for saying no to TIFs and the screaming over "cis gay men" being the devil tends to stay on social media. That said, it does annoy me when lesbians go hard about hating gay men and whatnot. They're still male and have male privilege, but gay men aren't the ones out trying to rape us.

Yes for sure, I do lose my mind when gay men act all holier than thou at lesbians not wanting to suck a dick because they know a trans man would never have the social privilege to force them into sex and they can talk all about not wanting to fuck vaginas with absolutely no consequences. But I also see a lot of them not being straight out TEHMs but just being fed up with gender bullshit and for example quitting Pride festivals in protest. They just get away with it much more easily than lesbian women do due to being men and would rather isolate than get involved in the discourse. And even when they do stand up for us, they get drowned out super fast because people would rather block their ears to demonize evil vagina fetishists and TIFs themselves are considered to somehow (though we all know why) have the same social privilege as cis males anyway.

>That said, it does annoy me when lesbians go hard about hating gay men and whatnot. They're still male and have male privilege, but gay men aren't the ones out trying to rape us.

Yeah, like said many times I see straight radfems doing it and that really raises an eyebrow for me as them having a problem with gay men specifically (i.e. not OSA men) is telling enough. I think lesbians letting out their anger at gay men is more than understandable due to the bitterness of always getting the shit end of the stick as arguably the least popular group of LGB and never getting a piece of the solidarity cake because I sure have bouts of anger regarding it, but we should be careful about misdirecting it since in the end we all share a common enemy who's more than happy to witness the infighting.

What do you guys think about lesbians who come out after only having relationships with men?

For me it kinda depends. If they’re older women who’ve been trapped in unhappy marriages due to homophobia and only just learned that they can be open about liking women, I’m a lot more lenient. But girls my age and zoomer girls who say they’re lesbian after only dating men, I raise my brow at a little

No. 337606

It depends. I feel for the girls who had a female teenage sweetheart but then felt like conforming to straight expectations and suffered through miserable straight relationships before admitting to themselves that they're a lesbian and don't think any less of them, but the girls who have had multiple boyfriends with a good sex life getting off on them being men fucking them then no, I don't consider them lesbians even if they now fully commit to women. I feel like those kinds of "late bloomers" are just looking for the emotional support they can only get from other women after dating troglodytes attached to a penis and after healing they bail out and date a man again. But it's a very case-by-case basis for me.

No. 337609

Like >>337606 said it's a case by case basis; but overall I'm a little suspicious of them. I've said it before, but I hate how we seemingly just dropped the "questioning" label and now everyone is rushing to find the right identity rather than taking their time to work things out. When it comes to zoomers I'll be honest, I do not believe them at all. They're too goddamn young to pivot from being only into men to being only into women. Bisexual I could buy, but lesbian? Nah. Even with older women I struggle to understand it, but I cut them more slack as it's easy to be swayed into conforming when growing up in previous generations. Another factor is race and religion. If they're religious and from a place with not-so-great opinions on gay people then I completely get why they'd try being straight.

This is how I see it too basically. If they were able to have sex and not wanna an hero then they're not lesbians. Unfortunately you can't know if it were the case or not because people lie but I think it's pretty easy to tell IRL if someone is a larping bisexual or not. I've always had a good sense of that at least.

Shit. It could be a sign she’s not interested or maybe she’s just asking you for a romantic gesture. You like her I assume so do some private romantic thing that’s a little special. Couples jewelry or personal artwork just for her? I don’t know, I would try that if I were you. Use your words and tie it to a physical thing.
In my imagination you’re going on closeted mall dates and can’t act special towards her, so she can’t see the difference between how you treat her and how you treat anyone else. That could be painful.

>>337662 Keep in mind too that your relationship is quite short. If you are truly trying your best, and you can’t figure out together what you could do to make her feel loved, and you guys get into an infinite loop of her asking for reassurance and you trying and failing to reassure her, sometimes that can be a personality incompatibility rather than some specific action you need to do to “fix it”. Im curious about your phasing “I have even had sex with her” though, that sounds a bit like you don’t have an ongoing active sexual life but have maybe hooked up once or twice, which of course can happen if you are closeted and can’t find time and space. Is there a possibility she wants to have more sex and feels like you would be initiating more often or making more effort to find ways to have sex if you were “really” attracted to her, but she is too ashamed to express it specifically as a desire for sex?

I know I am a lesbian but I don’t want to be because it will tear at the social fabric I have established in my life due to my involvement in church life. I have to accept my fate though. Please help me.

I just realized I have been completely neurotic about sex (with males) and extremely avoidant of it, as well as being involved in a religious community in real life that’s veering on fundie… I always thought it was great that it was so easy for me to stay celibate and “take up my cross” that way, live for Jesus through not pursuing relationships or intimacy with men etc. but now I realize it’s because I have been attracted to women this entire time, for my entire life, and want to pursue serious relationships with them.

After so much time denying myself of any sexual pleasure at all because of my religious convictions I entertained one thought about women and then everything just clicked and made sense. I realized it was so easy to entertain passionate thoughts about women as well as daydream about romantic moments with other women. I’ve been into women this entire time.

I am freaking out because it will be very difficult to navigate this within my social climate in real life since I’m involved in religious life and because I will have much less experience than other lesbians coming out later in life. Please help me nonnies.

You know I went through something very similar to you, so I empathize. I awoke really early to lesbian thoughts and it was really hard to be in the closet back then. I relied on celibacy and mysteriously having no male partner because I was such a "good virgin", too.

What helped me is realizing I just don't have to tell my family everything. I know straight people take advantage they can introduce partners to their family members, but honestly, sometimes family members make even straight relationships hellish.
If you've built up a delicate family life, especially around church, I know how hard that can be. You can kind of end up living two lives. If it's easier for you to entertain two lives, then do that. Churchgoers don't need to know every detail even about a straight persons life anymore than they need to know every detail about your life, so think of it that way. It's also easy to get away with a lesbian partner as being a roommate, since people don't tend to expect women to ever be gay for some reason.

No. 337967

First of all I'm happy you've had an epiphany. It's indeed hard to get started on your new path but it will pay off, I can promise you that. If you get too much friction from your current church, you can always find another that will take you, there are certainly many churches that are more accepting of us. If your interest in church stuff is more about the community and not about the actual faith part, then you can find a different chosen family as well. I find social causes are often a great way to connect to people on a level that is similar to religious communities, it's gotta be something you care about deeply so you can be on the same wavelength on that thing.

Regarding experience, believe it or not there are many late bloomers like you. I was one myself, I was open about my lack of experience and I easily found mature women who were willing to understand my perspective. Take it slow and let things build. You don't need to live your life according to anyone else's timeline.

As far as telling family goes, I highly recommend either partnering with someone who is also semi-closeted (so won't mind being hidden) or just coming out to family before you bring another person into the fold. Putting it off until you have a partner "worth" rocking the boat for is such an undue burden on the woman you'll be doing that to. Lesbians are so used to compromising on everything, maybe she'd let you drag her along as you hide her but if she's out and proud, please don't shove her back in the closet because she will probably endure it to her detriment.

Following this thread too. Honestly my experience with dating apps has been painfully unnotable. I've had 2 gfs off them (one from Hinge another from taimi). Both were pretty chill people and were open about what they wanted.

Also a question to all nonas here:

How do you feel about cosmetic surgery?

I personally want to get some but I fear this might put women off me. I already have piercings (and will have tattoos) but I'm not trying to make my dating pool even smaller than it already is. I might be overreacting or overthinking though.

No. 338366

Personally, I don't like cosmetic surgery. It's a personal preference in terms of looks, but also something that I strongly feel people shouldn't do; not unless it's for something serious like burns. Not lecturing you, just saying that some women will feel this way. Honestly though, I'm probably in the minority. I think most women won't have an issue with it. Unless it's something like ridiculous Z cup boobs, I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm an unconventional looking woman myself; I'm over 6'0, I'm a bodybuilder, my nose is messed up from being broke multiple times during my boxing days and I also have extensive Irezumi tattoos. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, but I've still found plenty of women who were into me and I'm now happily married. I think you're overthinking things, nona. I can't see any of these details giving you that much trouble dating. I know this sounds soppy and overly optimistic, but your personality really is the most important thing.

I think cosmetic surgery is fine if it's to correct a small thing you're really insecure about and don't go overboard with it. Like fixing a crooked nose or getting a breast lift. I feel like it's really easy to get hooked on PS so I generally wouldn't be into it, but as long as the results look natural I don't see a problem with them. Wouldn't tolerate the freakish kind of stuff though, like fillers are pretty iffy because they often make people look very plastic-like.

No. 338486

It depends on plastic surgery. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable being with someone who had a lot of hang-ups about their appearance to the point where they got a lot of it. But for smaller things or just like, a one time thing they did, that wouldn’t put me off so much. I just kind of like women who look natural, flaws and all. Most of the women I’ve been into or with have been “average” by probably most people’s standards, but I found each of them beautiful despite or maybe even because of their imperfections tbh. When I see someone who tries too hard or looks plastic, it’s honestly a turn off because it makes me wonder about their self-esteem. All that being said, you should do what you want because some women wouldn’t mind or may like the look, idk. I often just feel like so many procedures are geared towards beauty standards that are more appealing to men rather than women.

No. 338498

>>338362
It would put me off mostly because I have insecurities about my own face and knowing that a woman got plastic surgery would make me start feeling some obligation to fix my own ugly features, especially if the thing she got surgery for was a trait I shared. I know it's not rational but that's probably how I'd feel - I'm really trying to deal with my own insecurities through acceptance/improving self-esteem instead of resorting to surgery so I'd like to be with a woman who had similar principles. But I think I'm probably an outlier in that respect, in general I doubt the majority of women would care much at all.

>>338366 how was getting irezumi tattoos? I've heard they're pretty painful.

>>338374 subtle is what I'm aiming for! Something that looks natural or at least not too out of place.

>>338391 Fillers are rarely ever done well. I don't know what it is about them but once they migrate people get this pillowy look to their faces. It ages people too.

>>338486 I can see that. A lot of the most popular surgeries are tailored to make women look more exaggerated. Most women I've fallen for have always been considered average to many of my friends. I think ironing out features like a slightly crooked nose or dimples is a bit of a shame. They make people feel more unique.

>>338498 so for you is it more knowing that would bother you? If you didn't know you wouldn't think anything of it? I can understand feeling down about your own features if your gf had those changed.

Thank you all! Honestly I probably am overthinking it since it all comes down to preferences at the end of the day. Hearing all of your responses has given new perspectives I haven't heard as much. It's usually a hard no or a yes from most.

I want to get my breasts done because I think I might have tubular deformity. They make me feel unconfident and a little ugly tbh. I'm not a fan of the obvious plastic look myself but I always worry about ending up like that if I do go under the knife.

I've only ever had tebori tattoos, so I can't compare to a machine, but honestly it's not that bad. At first it's very painful, kinda like bee stings, but after a while you normally settle into it and the pain dulls a bit. My sleeves were pretty easy, it was when I got my back piece that things got worse. The flanks of my back, my spine, my ass, my thighs, it was all pretty painful. The first day was brutal, but oddly enough by the third day of work I was falling asleep during sessions. Hearing the rhythmic noise of the needles being hammered into you is strangely relaxing, and I found that focusing on that took my mind off the pain.

i really hope this doesn’t come off as humble-bragging but seeing happy lesbian couples make me feel so confused and hopeless because I’ve been on various dating apps and literally not a single woman in a 60 mile radius seems like someone i would be compatible with. I don’t know if it’s just because I’m in a rural area but the majority are bi or even straight women looking for a 3rd or ‘experiment’ or they have some obvious baggage like drug issues or children (nothing against them, I’m 22 year olds and not ready to be someone’s step-mom kek) or are super obnoxious TiFs.

It's not humblebragging imo. It's just that you got lucky in some ways, this is a neutral statement about your current situation. Not saying you did not work hard to get there or that you had an easy start in life however you are currently privileged compared to some of us. The mental illness and general instability rates are higher in same sex attracted women than other demographics, so you're seeing the real world impact of that especially in a rural area where even het people are more likely to struggle in those ways. I am empathetic to your situation as even in cities it's a minefield as the other anon said. Just bear in mind that finding a partner is often a long process and we can't expect things to fall into our laps just because we have our intentions set. Most people have to put in a lot of work to get with someone they're truly compatible with, including non-lesbians. The good ones are often taken, it's true. There is a sort of waitlist to get with someone appealing and compatible tbh.In the meantime you can make some solid lesbian friends instead, it will widen your reach and be emotionally fulfilling as well, although it is not as fulfilling as a romantic relationship.

I don't want to resurrect the debate from a while ago but in a rural area the numbers are obviously against you way more so than in a city, I'm sure you grasp that as an educated person. While the same types of nutjobs you see in a rural area are also in cities, there are simply way more lesbians too. If you put yourself out there in a city and are truly as well-adjusted as you say then there are plenty of people to date and be happy with. Who you can land does say something about you, you'll see that throughout your life I bet.

Do they know that I'm trying too hard?? What is with those half-assed responses why did you swipe if you weren't interested-
I just need a hug. I'm so alone. Being a lesbian sucks.

I understand why lack of experience is a red flag but it sucks. Wasted my early 20s in a shitty borderline abusive relationship, spent the rest of my 20s working on myself, and now I'm undateable and weird because I've only slept with one woman and have been single for 5+ years. Sorry I didn't rush from a toxic relationship into serial monogamy! I definitely should have fucked a ton of randoms instead of choosing celibacy until I got my shit together. Keeping my heart open in case I randomly meet some late bloomer woman or something who doesn't mind the inexperience but deleting the apps because it's too depressing.

How do you all deal with the self-proclaimed girly girls? I might sound selfish but my last relationship ended because my ex had a whole "Omg I'm such a femme girly girl who loves sewing and dresses and makeup and pink and Sanrio and magical girl anime" shtick and I just couldn't force myself to care about/indulge in that. I'm pretty feminine myself body and style wise but it was too much.

i think it depends on what kind of relationship dynamic you’re looking for, ‘traditional’ butch/femme dynamics aren’t for everyone, one of the great things about being a lesbian is you’re more likely to find a partner with more similar interests and goals to you. You’re basically describing me to a T and it’s a completely different dynamic/relationship with I’m dating another feminine woman or a butch.

Is it really a red flag to be inexperienced as a lesbian? I understand it would be eyebrow-raising for straight/bi women to be terminally single past 25 since they tend to have options, but it's often slim pickings to find other lesbians, let alone ones you feel compatible with and have a mutual attraction to. Personally I came out as a teenager, I'm past my 20s, have no experience because I never had opportunities to meet other lesbians IRL even when I looked. I bought into the "lack of experience after a certain age is a red flag" claim and even tried going on apps to find hookups and I noticed most lesbians my age aren't into that stuff. I'm not the only lesbian I know with this experience, I understand why it would be a turn-off for some individual women, but I have a hard time believing this is the majority. What I want in a relationship is mutual attraction and companionship, not body count or being "good at sex" when having sex isn't a game.

NTA but I was shamed by my first and second girlfriends for being inexperienced. I didn't come out and start dating until I was 22. One of them told me to my face that she was breaking up with me because I was terrible in bed, and the other told a mutual friend of ours (at the time) which was extremely embarrassing to hear from another person. I didn't know women would emphasize sex so much but they certainly did.

Don't be so harsh. I don't think that comment was meant in the naive cottagecore "omg I wanna braid her hair!" manner. Typically women are more understanding about sexual issues and less likely to shame another woman for lacking experience. Yes, sex is important, but I'd be shocked too if another lesbian acted in that manner. I'd expect them to acknowledge how small our dating pools can be and how hard it can be to get out there and get some experience under your belt.

The idea that sex is a game and people need to bag a minimum amount of partners per year to gain exp and level up their SMV is scrote logic. Every sexual relationship should start with a clean slate, previous partners might build confidence but you can't just recycle all your old moves and assume they'll work. Maybe I'm weird but even if my partner had 100 partners before me I'd want to walk them through what I like the first time.

I don't think it's weird to find sex important. I think it's weird to find number of past sexual partners important, as if 1 previous partner = lvl 1 sex skill and 5 partners = lvl 5 sex skill. A virgin might be a fast learner, and a woman with dozens of previous hookups might be selfish and lazy in bed, there's really no way to tell just from body count. Seems like a weird thing to get judgmental about, especially since the lesbian dating pool is tiny so it's objectively difficult to find partners.

Completely anecdotal but I used to hang around with random les/bi women off the internet in local meetups and one of them was notorious for having a really high body count but also simultaneously being bad in bed, the latter part being hush hush to everyone else but an open secret to people in the inner group of that specific crowd.

I think generational differences come into play in what's perceived as a high bodycount tbh. I'm 32 and I was out on the gay scene pretty young before it got completely destroyed by politics and before dating apps got super popular. I've slept with 30+ women which is seen as slightly higher than average for the bi and lesbian women in my age range that I know. I feel bad for zoomers because the scene is now over politicised, lesbians are vilified for simply existing and dating apps are pretty much a requirement, making it a lot harder to form connections. IMO you have to be face to face with someone to see if you have chemistry, chemistry is something beyond words. To the zoomers I know my bodycount is very high. But on the other hand, I know a couple of boomer dykes who make me look like a nun by comparison because they were around to enjoy the lesbian bars before they all closed. So yeah, it's all relative.

Right now I keep fantasizing about going to a lesbian bar and getting hit on. Not even much more than that, just a lesbian bar experience. Get dolled up, buy a drink, have women hit on me, go dancing, kiss a stranger. Just really let loose and have fun. I’m in an area that has a lesbian bar but I feel like I can’t go because I’m in a relationship right now and it doesn’t feel right to want to do that while I’m dating someone.

My friend who is so guarded about anything personal life and I suspect has been part of a fundie Christian cult (and maybe still is) drunkenly confessed to being straight her whole life then falling in love with her female “best mate”. She asked to catch up and hinted at wanting to talk about it.

Of course a lot of women go there to get laid, but there's still plenty of women who go there to befriend other lesbians and just have a nice, safe environment to be in. Dancing with my wife in a lesbian bar made me realise how much I hold back when dancing with her anywhere else. Even when we're just sat down chatting, we can be tactile and openly flirt.

i feel like such a hopeless romantic because all i want is to get married and have a wife and be completely devoted to one person who's also completely devoted to me. however, most lesbians/bi women i've dated before have ridiculed me for having this desire and say marriage is patriarchal, heteronormative etc. and while i do agree that yes the root of marriage is patriarchal, that doesn't mean i'm conforming if i simply wanna marry someone i love. it's more like a show of commitment and devotion, which is something so beautiful and sacred imo. why wouldn't anyone want that?
a lot of lesbians seem to only date casually and have multiple partners on the side while being in a "committed" main relationship (polyamory basically). i've been a "main" in relationships like this before, and it makes me sick to my stomach. i don't see the appeal / romance in having to share sexual partners. being cheated on hurts so much, and being poly is a waste of time. what's the point of dating someone if it's going nowhere / not serious?
is monogamy not a thing anymore or something? it's not like i'm old either, i'm only 24. and let me clarify that i'm totally fine with not getting married in my 20s– i just wish for a stable relationship where both parties are dating to marry eventually.

You're not crazy, nona. I think there's plenty of hopeless romantics like us out there, but we just keep quiet now because people are so open-minded towards sex and relationships that their brains fell out. Getting married was the greatest thing I ever did, the culmination of all my life's efforts. I took a huge gamble after my first kiss with my wife, I told her if we kept on kissing that I'd fall in love with her and start planning out our white picket fence, marriage and kids future. Most lesbians would call me insane and run a mile from me for that, and fair enough if it's not for them. But you gotta wear your heart on your sleeve. Don't let these queer, "ethical" cheaters get you down. Don't try and play it "cool" either; I tried playing it cool and I wasted years of my life with women who belittled my "heteronormative" dreams. As corny as it sounds, those dreams of marriage and kids kept me going through some dark times. Now my wife and I have a little one (or maybe two) on the way, I know that everything was worth it. As for age, I didn't meet my wife 'til I was 30 so don't worry about that, you've got plenty of time. Just don't let people be dicks to you, nona. I hope one day you get everything you've wished for.

Do lesbians care about their potential partners being virgins in their late 20s-early 30s? I didn't have many options for girlfriends where I lived, and then I wasted my early 20s with a "bisexual" who could barely stand to kiss other women, much less sleep with them. I was so burned after we broke up that I stopped dating altogether. I am not a casual hookup girl, so this means I have zero experience beyond making out at 28 years old.

AYRT, how old are you? I think another issue is it's never lesbians my age that want something similar to me. I'm not even comfortable being friends with women super younger or older than me, so getting liked by them on apps when I tried to look for this made me uncomfortable. When I was told that "apps are full of people who like that" I guess they only mean the straight dating side.

>A lot of lesbians that I know have been dating since they were like 16-20 while marrying a highschool sweetheart is my ultimate nightmare.

I have traumatic experience of being used by a bi girl around that age, so it frustrates me how only bisexuals with boyfriends or with weak same-sex attraction only want to have casual dating or FWBs with me or other women in general. I don't have anything against them as long as they disclose their intentions, but what I really want is another lesbian. I understand it's a numbers game ("alternative" straight and bisexual people of either sex and even gay men can afford to have different dynamics than settling down) but it makes me feel like something's wrong with me when most lesbians my age that I meet are taken and have/want a wife and I can't even find a girlfriend or platonic friend with similar feelings on relationships as I do.

If she ever decides in the future that she's in love with a man after she told her family she was lesbian, this will really hurt the lesbian image because it will come off as just optional to her family. But if she knows for a fact that she will never enter a relationship with a man, then maybe this is the best option for her. I mean don't get me wrong, lying about being a lesbian when you're not one is bad, but if it's only lying to her family when her family is conservative or way too closed minded to understand, then I can't blame her for trying to deal with them. They still might not really believer her though even if she claims to be lesbian. A lot of conservative families consider lesbianism to just be a 'sex freak' phase that women will grow out of.

You literally don't. Being outed is an understandable fear but it doesn't seem to be this woman's issue. People may be assholes to bisexuals (ie it's not legit, gay/straight in denial and so on) but they are more accepting of bisexual women than lesbians (namely because they are seen as more 'slutty and desireable by men). Lesbians are very much expected and bullied into denying their sexuality. Some are even correctively raped, beaten and abused to change them.

This user should just date men until she's not reliant on her family if she has to date. If dating other women can put her in danger, she can just choose the 'acceptable' option. I don't want to sound unempathetic but she's still able to date and be happy.

it could've been toilet paper too. i dated a woman who had long pubic hair (which generally isn't a problem for me) but she was also into earth friendly products and the toilet paper she used was very bad. it left little balls and strings of rolled up paper all over her pussy, inside and in the hairs. i insisted that she trim ahead of time because of that, which killed the spontaneity of sex but it really kills the mood when you spend ten minutes picking tp from your lover's pussy before eating them out.

This is what gets me about most bi women. I get it sucks to deny your sexuality and stay closeted about a part of yourself, but as a result most (I know not all of them, but I've never net a Febfem in real life) bi women I know end up living lives identical to straight women, therefore accessing and experiencing a form of straight privilege even if it "erases" them. Meanwhile I've spent my teens and 20s single, which has been used as a point of suspicion against me. Even when I "erased" myself and pretended to like celebrity guys or just say I'm asexual, homophobes called bullshit. I once saw someone claim that saying bisexuals pass as straight in het relationships isn't true because lesbians pass as straight when they're single, but I've never been in a relationship and get clocked. But I knew GNC straight/bi girls in real life who dodged abuse for "looking gay" when they got a boyfriend.

I get moids suck and nearly all heterosexual relationships are miserable, but it's frustrating how even other non-libfem OSA women get so caught up in that they forget being OSA and accessing relationships with men is a privilege. It's so hard for me to have any sympathy anymore.

NTA but while you don't choose who you fall for, you do choose who to go on dates with and begin the process in the first place. If one is capable of attraction to both sexes they absolutely can deliberately go on dates with only one sex and nurture that. I may be a lesbian but as an adult I've passed on many women I clicked with simply because the relationship would not have been viable, even if I wanted her. It's not this uncontrollable crazy thing, love and partnership is something you continuously choose to pursue.

This literally what the stats that lesbophobes and MRAs love bringing up are saying. This was even explained earlier in this thread, >>328997

It's interesting how moids perpetuate 97% of rapes, murders, and domestic violence (which is why bi women's rates are high - moids see female SSA as a porn category and threesome fodder), but lesbians are roughly 1-2% of the population and somehow equally abusive as these moids. Make it make sense. I've talked to 5x more lesbians who have never been in a relationship or were abused by moids via gaybashing than abused by another lesbian. My female assaulter was a bihet who went back to her boyfriend after. That's not to say DV among lesbians never happens, a close friend of mine went through it. But it makes me sick how it's constantly exaggerated and weaponized against us by OSA women, men, and right wingers.

Also those studies prove nothing but that lesbians are more likely to suffer emotional distress and have drinking problems which is a trend across all LGBT demographics due to being ostracized and the minority stress they are trying to cope with since both partners tend to be both perpetrators and victims, and compared to straight relationships women are also more at ease at using physical force against each other than they would against a man who could easily overpower them. In lesbian relationships physical assault is often limited to pushing and slapping while men are more likely to outright rape and brutally beat up their girlfriends, or even kill them. I don't have the exact stat based on the questionnaire that defined the forms of assault at hand right now but for example this one specifically mentions that bisexual and heterosexual women were most likely to be injured by an intimate partner. https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/cdc_nisvs_victimization_final-a.pdf

i'm interested in creating a torrent tracker for lesbian content, almost like a community archive of anything lesbian (could be a music video, movie, game but often the problem with talking about lesbian content on public forums is not being able to actually access it) with a side forum for discussion.. and you can join either the tracker or forum or both if invited by a member. there are literally so many ways to do this with the right people.. i'll probably do it eventually as a project for myself anyway

I've toyed with the idea of making a psuedo-anon board. Login info is hidden from posters but viewable on the backend to make moderation easier. Could have invite codes like Ovarit to make it harder to sockpuppet. I'd also probably restrict image posting somehow to cut back on gross image spam, maybe a large catalog of approved reaction images etc users can pick from with the ability to submit new photos to the catalog pending mod approval.

I've put an embarrassing amount of thought into it actually, lol. I used to plan it out in my head at work to pass the time. I don't think I'd ever actually do it though because I'm nervous about liability.

I'm so sick of every feminist discussion having to include men in some way, I'm so sick of how they are willing to sell other women out just to please men, I fucking despise how much they just don't seem to give a shit about other women at all. They don't have the incentive to, they can live through their life fully well with only male social contacts and remain contented, so why would they sacrifice their attractiveness to men for other women? Why defend female rights when they know it will dent their reputation in the eyes of Nigel? The way they turn awkward and fidgety when digging deep into the oppression women face will never leave me. It's heartbreaking to realize that despite always looking out for these women myself they will never return the favor and will consider me a crazy predatory feminazi sex offender if the chance ever occurs.

Even if you're a lesbian, feminism has to include ways to deal with men whether that be men harassing you in the workplace(nonsexually too),male bosses choosing to hire a less well equipped candidate just because he's a male, women getting paid less, etc.

They don't owe you anything and you don't owe them anything either. I see this with lesbians all the time, us overextending ourselves and looking out for osa women, but it is time to understand that our goals and values are completely different. You want liberation, they want their oppressors to act nice(r) to them. Sisterhood is not real. So the answer is to just learn to take it easy and prioritize yourself.

No. 341872

>>341869
>You want liberation, they want their oppressors to act nice(r) to them
NTA but I came here to post exactly this. Lesbians and OSAs are always going to be at odds because OSAs approach the world with a male reformist mindset, meanwhile lesbians genuinely care for other women and seek specifically to create spaces in which we are safe and happy. If any lesbian craves sisterhood or desires to empower other women, she should seek to only surround herself with other lesbians. Being a lesbian separatist is powerful, and I see no reason why any of us waste our time, effort, or resources on women who care not about their own liberation and health, but about their right to complain about their own choice to sleep with their oppressors.
>I am more tired by the fake misandrists who act hard online, reeeing about how bad men are and yet have a whole ass nigel sleeping in their beds
It's really aggravating, but I guess it's easier for OSAs to give a simple "I hate men" than to actually participate in critical thinking.

Talk to her! Just start out with small talk and see if there's a vibe there. If there is, try complimenting her on something that can be played off as platonic if she's straight or in a relationship. Even if this goes nowhere, consider it practice. I think one of the biggest problems for lesbians is that we overthink things and get very nervous. We need to be more bold in actually approaching women and talking to them. I wouldn't be married today if it weren't for the boring small talk I struck up with my wife, before making my "I'm gay but if you're not then no homo" compliment on her fashion sense.

This is honestly true and a wake-up call. After I read the Ses purs ongles essays (picrel, a very recommended read) I realized how much lesbians are manipulated into being handmaidens for OSA women and never demand anything just for themselves, and it's completely due to us having different goals in life and nothing will ever change that. While we both want to be seen as equals to men, they're willing to haggle and bargain just so they can have a man by their side. We're not, because we don't desire male company like they do. As a life-long feminist it's a heartache to admit, but there's no point in constantly fighting their battles and softening my words for them. They will never appreciate it and never see it from my viewpoint, and I will never understand their desire to sell their entire gender short just so that Nigel could maybe treat them a bit more respectfully.

Women my age couldn't make it more obvious that they see me as a freak weirdo for being a butch lesbian. In every interaction there's this lingering disgust in the air. They're polite, but they're cold. I'm grateful not to be single. If I were trying to date in this environment I'd lose every ounce of self confidence I have. As it is, it still gets to me. I tend to make friends with older women and whatever men don't act aggressive and weird towards me. Sometimes when I see someone shying away from me in the hall I just want to stop and say "I'm fucking normal, get it? Calm down!". All I need to do to get this affect is cut my hair, it's insane.
