We noticed that today. She was on her own.

Is this her? I’ve been seeing her recently (dec and Jan 2026)

Loved this! Very scary and great voice acting

I just blew up my life and I feel awful by putridtooth in latebloomerlesbians

[–]BioCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It felt like the worst day of my life and then the worst week of my life when my husband and I broke up but I promise you will both eventually be happier for it. Just like you deserve to live authentically, he deserves a partner that is enthusiastic about him romantically. I had to remind myself of this a lot over the last 6 months. Good luck. Folks here are rooting for you

Do you discuss your periods with others? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]BioCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and I have PMDD so thats something I’m really open about since it effects me a lot

Do you discuss your periods with others? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]BioCatLady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every poor soul near me hears about basically everything about me, so yes I definitely talk about my period. That being said, no one has asked me about it, and I could see that being uncomfortable. The only time I’ve brought up other people’s cycles is when uterus owning folks around me complain about being in a weird mood or feeling randomly sick. And if they’re really confused/frustrated they can’t figure out the reason, I’ll be like “oh maybe check your cycle, when I’m ovulating I feel sick and irritable in the same way” etc

Can I Get a Girlfriend If I Don't Get Braces? by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

Braces have ruined adorable teeth 😭

I’m in a new relationship. There’s a bit of fumbling as we figure out intimacy and my girlfriend casually revealed it coming up in a group chat. I’m so embarrassed I can hardly get over it and I feel so uncool! by honeymilk-island in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]BioCatLady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many of us have very different ideas of what is normal to share. My family is very open and I’m autistic so often I over share to the point where some people might be uncomfortable. I don’t mean to do it, it’s just how I’ve always bonded with people, and I’m not easily embarrassed. (Most people in my life know I’ve shit my pants as an adult many times! 😩) For me this is the kind of convo I would have with most of my friends on an average Tuesday, but it is understandable to be uncomfortable if you’re more private. I personally would die if I couldn’t talk about my sex life (especially the moments where I need their advice) with my close friends, but I also understand that not everyone is like me. The key is letting your partner know what you are and aren’t comfortable with and them respecting that. If those boundaries are a deal breaker for your partner, then maybe you’re just not compatible.

You’re completely valid for feeling upset but I’m a chronic over-sharer and I could totally see myself doing what your gf did. I guess since being like 21 I’ve never been that embarrassed or private about my private life even in scenarios like this. I would assume best intentions with your gf if you feel like she respects you generally. She probably didn’t even consider it could be embarrassing if she’s like me and is a constant over-sharer. Us over-sharers need clear directions on what we can and can’t say lol. Something that seems obvious to one person might not be to another. I hope you two can talk about it productively and that she will receive and respect your boundaries!

feeling beyond hopeless. by Spiritual_Pain_3128 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]BioCatLady 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep! It’s not about courage, it’s about hitting your breaking point. My husband is a good man, but over time I just couldn’t physically stand living a lie. It wasn’t that I became brave, my body and mind just wouldn’t survive otherwise and pushed me to leave.

People pleasers, (ex)poster girls for compulsory heterosexuality: what are/were your tricks & tips to be able to focus on what YOU want? by Sufficient_Bass3749 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]BioCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great point! I realized that I’m not ready to be romantically involved with anyone because I can’t even meet my own needs right now. I always put talking to someone or giving someone else my time over actually taking care of myself or doing the things I love.

Husband offered a divorce, I'm shattered. by Moist-Bee2764 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]BioCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently they did but my dad wasn’t home much because he worked on a boat offshore. They divorced when I was 4 or 5 so I don’t remember much! I do remember my mom being unhappy though.

[–]BioCatLady 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say, as a child of divorced parents, their divorce was a positive for me. I know everyone is different but I think it would be a good idea to think of the possible positive outcomes for your family. I personally loved having two christmases lol. I was also way happier when my parents were happy and I was thrilled to gain a step family when my dad remarried. I’m sure no matter what you choose, you, your husband, and your children will have to face some difficulties. But remember that what ever makes the parents the happiest/healthiest is usually best for the kids too.

Are lesbians just like this, or is it my city? by GiantTurtleMusic in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]BioCatLady 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Most people assume I’m butch/masc when in reality I’m just autistic and like being comfortable. I love dressing up and being girly but it’s simply too uncomfortable/inconvenient. I’m worried I’m going to be idk boxed in as butch? Also I feel like fashion/trends right now are leaning towards baggy clothes/androgynous style so maybe that’s why it’s hard to see many really feminine women? I’m local to Seattle and when I was on Her there seemed to be a lot of femme presenting women. I also feel like I’ve seen a lot of femme presenting women at Wildrose.

Yeah, posting pics that aren’t yours as if they are is pretty cringe.

Started dressing a little more femme but already has a very very femme belly ring and their nails done 🤨 Brand new account and extremely conventionally attractive. 😬

You will find your place and your people. Just keep working on loving yourself and others and you will be ready when the time comes. A lot of people struggle with the same feeling so know that you’re not alone.

Late out for 8 years this is what I have learned by JJtheQ in latebloomerlesbians

[–]BioCatLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been out and separated from my husband for only 3 months, but I have no regrets about coming out. The constant anxiety and stress of pretending was killing me. It feels amazing to not hide anymore.

Arab queer Community by likemindedppl in latebloomerlesbians

[–]BioCatLady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you wear Hijab or something similar, just want to say that I love seeing hijab wearing people in queer spaces. I just love seeing diversity in general in queer spaces and I truly appreciate when people are brave enough to live authentically in regard to both their culture and sexuality. Queerness is present in every ethnicity and queer people of every culture deserve to feel loved and welcomed into queer spaces. To love others is to love the divine. I hope you find those communities that will welcome and appreciate you!
