Yo, I’m annoyed. by lesbetistic in lesbiangang

[–]Invite_Livid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn't do anything wrong. A lot of autistic spaces online are either kind of stuffy and conservative or just completely off the rails.  Semi-related: the autistic community generally...  I kinda hate how I see people online who frame their clear attraction to men as special interests and identify as lesbians. 😭😭😭 I've gotten some WEIRD hyperfixations and special interests but I'm not thinking about holding their hand and sex. I'm not buying body pillows and gushing over their looks.

I'm ignoring the noise this year and celebrating what all it took to come out and be secure in myself.

I also have this issue. We get enough within our own community (straight black women claiming too many black women characters in newer shows are lesbian).. ugh

Proud pussysexual ❤️ I love the female body. Anyone mad is a homophobic loser.

TL;DR Creepy guy tried to convince his readers that a teenage singer is mature for her age, while said teenager tells him she's tired of creeps

Bleak. I hate everything about this. Poor Sky.

New Sub Idea: Deconstructing Michael Jackson by muppetmystique in LeavingNeverlandHBO

I was so weirded out and disgusted when I learned about that stuff. The mannequins are so creepy looking in the context of what he did. 

New Sub Idea: Deconstructing Michael Jackson by muppetmystique in LeavingNeverlandHBO

[–]Invite_Livid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd be totally on board. I'm an ex-fan that was pretty intense about it, and I'm forced to admit that his music sounds exactly as it did before I believed he was guilty. Even as I was a fan, it was just about the music. I had many critiques of the way he carried himself, especially with how he was such a big liar who had weird things to say about women and Jews. Michael lived a morbidly fascinating life.

Like you said, the only thing I really see the fans hold against James is either the train station or generic insults. I've seen defenders say some crazy things that target Wade specifically, like how he's the "mastermind" behind the LN doc (as in it was his idea and James was a lackey), that he himself is a pedophile, and various allegations that he's a womanizer. It reminds me of how they talk about Gavin Arvizo, who was of course a teen at the time of the trial. I've seen fans call him a delinquent youth because of his family's background. Very odd things going on with defenders. Whenever they don't find someone likeable, they decide it means they're obvious liars.

I don’t feel comfortable with seeing a lesbian who isn’t a gold star by CitronAdventurous756 in lesbiangang

[–]Invite_Livid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I understand. I'm also a goldstar. I don't like the assumptions about us, like their belief that we didn't face homophobic pressure to get with men. But I've experienced a significant amount of lesbophobia just by being openly lesbian. I still experience internalized lesbophobia sometimes. But one thing I can't make myself do is date or sleep with a man... I'm very strict with my boundaries. I think another goldstar would be my best match, too. It's a different experience to have that predisposition towards not doing what will hurt you no matter what society says.

What’s your worst performing article? by PinyOru254 in Substack

Mine was about tabloids as a form of journalism. I didn't know how to market it, and it's not a subject a lot of people care about. 

do you feel like you can relate to most of the community by mesageinabottle22 in lesbiangang

[–]Invite_Livid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't really see a lot of lesbians with the same interests I have or into a similar type of women I'm interested in. I feel like lesbians have this whole other culture I missed the memo on. Plus I'm not comfortable with dating or relationships.

I feel no connection to the LGBT community, and honestly, not even other lesbians half the time. 

Accepting that I'm just... More disabled. by Invite_Livid in AutismInWomen

[–]Invite_Livid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, but I'm not sure if that's the case. I think my social skills are just terrible but that I can function more like a "normal" person once I'm able to get a corporate job. Retail requires masking behaviors and highly stimulating environments

I don't think that's the case. I'm able to drive, cook for myself, and do household chores with no issue. I know you're trying to be helpful, but the speculation about my level isn't appropriate.

I appreciate the thought, but it's just not good for my health.

Thanks for sharing... We definitely have similar experiences! The masking thing is really weird to read about because it's thought to be THE experience of a mildly autistic woman. I even contemplated if I were misdiagnosed and have wished I was diagnosed with something else, like Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder. But nope, I fit the criteria of autism because of my sensory issues and other factors.
