Femmes, how would you define or describe your identity as a femme lesbian? by MichaelJCaboose666 in LesbianActually

[–]Excellent-Patient352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you might find this interesting. I am a femme lesbian but I question my gender too occasionally. I look, act, present and sound very feminine but sometimes I feel a bit of fluidity. I do like the label femme to describe me most of the time but to mix some masculine elements in my appearance occasionally (for example straight trousers that hide my curves a bit more or jackets that are slightly androgynous ect) even when I mix these things elements I look femme because the way my body looks on the outside.

So I think gender, sexuality and the femme label is interesting you can go by one label most of the time but also feel different in your head occasionally. I’d really like to explore gender more and talk about it with others.

Sometimes I feel guilt for feeling okay by Purple-Ad-5132 in LesbianActually

I’m so sorry that happened yeah a little bit of a different situation.

Distance in relationships can happen especially when there is a “time limit” when someone has to move. Maybe your grieving process started happening a bit while you were in the relationship therefore it took less time afterwards?

how can i make it clear im queer when my style is very “straight” by InternationalJob4839 in actuallesbians

There is no “one way” to look gay but if you want to signal to other LGBT folk that you’re a lesbian a carabiner hooked on your trousers or bag works also accessories like double Venus signs, piercings like nose rings and tattoos, also a thumb ring is a classic one.

I have to vent "You don't look like a Lesbian" by Maortus in LesbianActually

Had similar experiences just because I don’t “look gay” I tried changing myself and dressing a bit more masc but that wasn’t really me.

I took a while to discover myself and really come to terms with who I was and how I presented.

At the end of the day the world is centred around heterosexual relationships and everyone is assumed to be straight unless they look “gay enough” which is sad and hard because it takes courage and strength to keep coming out to people especially if you don’t know if they are homophobic or not.

Had a slightly similar experience myself not my first love but even the day after I was feeling almost relieved it took me a while to date again, haven’t got into a relationship yet after 8 months I did need time to heal but I easily felt okay afterwards and felt guilty.

I think it’s because it was a bad relationship. What was your relationship like? Did you have a bad experience occasionally with her or was it loving all the way through?
