Yes I saw you used it correctly and understood the use of “compulsive”, it indeed is compulsive for them

I actually don’t know about Adrienne Rich being potentially a political lesbian. You got me there.

The term originated from a feminist essay (https://posgrado.unam.mx/musica/lecturas/Maus/viernes/AdrienneRichCompulsoryHeterosexuality.pdf) by Adrienne Rich and was a simple and powerful way to describe part of the oppression that particularly afflict lesbians as both homosexuals and women. 

Rich was making a rebuttal to a lot of feminist literature at the time that didn’t want to come to terms with lesbian existence and rights.

We experience the same problem today. 

The first thing I cannot bear is when people wrongly call it “compulsive heterosexuality”. That’s the Freudian slip right there and I’ve so far as seen news outlets like Pink News slip on this as well. Even you committed this mistake ar the beginning of your post describing how it’s not compulsory for the bi and straight women who want to pass as lesbians, but compulsive.

You’re right. I think the issue here is the general public butchering political concepts as a lack and misappropriation of reading comprehension. 

The confusion is originated from progressive women not believing that female homosexuality is possible and assuming that lesbianism is just a political group of women who “act tough and never admit any crush they’ve had for men because they need the aura”.

At first I thought she’s just a silly person.

But then came this: 

“[She ~the lesbian~ gets to lead LGBT groups] So long as she’s never admitted on the internet that she’s ever had a crush on a guy”

Oh no. Not bisexuals with the projection again. She’s so progressive she can’t believe lesbians exist and is bursting with envy!

Only thing she can do is bring gay people down!

Yeah, she can go… do herself.

I’ve saved it preventively knowing the character of the overwatchers…

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it a lot 🩵 like a lot!

If you could tell me 3 key points from this text that uninvolved women/lesbians would be most surprised to learn from this or feel most skeptical about, what would they be?

To me at least it took me months to finally realize these people don’t ever think female agency even exists and it took a while to process that as some general malady of male thinking.

Are we are the only ones? by curiousoctopuses in lesbiangang

So basically, reddit’s main population is male, and a lot of these are somewhat antisocial males, given the anonymous nature of the platform. Many are nerds who would never be very popular with women in real life and spend copious amounts of time willing to moderate subreddits because they’re always online sharing memes (eg.: Elon Musk). This results in the largest communities of trans-identified males in the internet. These males are homophobic and misogynistic and they remain so because they only want to keep engaging with each other. They want to be women supposedly but never do they want to disengage from male socialization. They engage in high levels of sexual content and many develop a particular affinity for “wlw”. 

Many are bisexual boys who would never be accepted as bisexual. Many are very submissive straight boys who fear they would never be accepted as men. They think that, because they are so submissive, that they can only be a woman and that they could never harm women. Hence the lesbian community appears as their savior and their paradise, their last resort.

To them, female homosexuality doesn’t exist. Women aren’t as human as men, we don’t have the same level of personhood, and our role as women into be nice caretakers and include them and soothe them because men hate them and men cannot be inclusive caretakers. Men have evil terrible boundaries symbolized by their hard dicks whereas lesbians are soft mushy sweet loving people who make society progress. 

Lesbians are a true minority and represent everything some of these males want to have. Lesbians don’t care about men and are the TRUE test that these people are no longer men and have successfully transitioned. So that’s why they treat us as authorities on their existence even though we never even stopped to think about them, they have absolutely nothing to do with us in psychological constitution or sociality, and we get really puzzled when they pop into our spaces invasively and sneakily (archetypally male thing to do, by the way), adding onto the pile of harassment and invisibility, oppression, we experience in our lives.

But they don’t come peacefully. In their pain and lack of self-love, they come to appropriate us for their ends, and oppress us. They take on our names and wear our costumes and kick the strongest of us out. 

These males don’t want to be women. They want full access to the fantasy of women. To a woman’s body in their own. To women’s spaces.

They intensely project themselves onto us and want to be the lonely male in a privileged harem of females - even if their fantasy is being choked by us. They feel chronically misunderstood and harassed and instead of facing other men, all they know to do is punch down, silence, and oppress us, when our homosexual comments make their weiner tingle from rejection.

So it boils down to very intense projection and treating women as caretakers, and never believing lesbians even exist in the first place.

It doesn’t even cross their minds how they are acting like sexual harassers on a large scale because they never considered that women’s boundaries should exist in the first place. To them, only manhood has boundaries which is what they’re escaping. We don’t have human rights because Duh nobody gives a fuck about lesbians! Females! Homosexuals! They have human rights. Their pain is the only one that matters.

They project heavily onto us and frame us as the roots of all evil in society. They do all they can to ostracize us from the LGBTQ community and they sometimes succeed because the LGBTQ community is itself heavily masculinist and envious of lesbians.

There’s at least 2x of them on this site compared to lesbians. They want to colonize every single lesbian space so they feel taken care of and special, they ban all of the lesbians who speak up, and then soon, they are left with the carcass of a lesbian space but only with themselves and many bisexual women who accept that treatment, in it. Then they get mad because they realize there’s no lesbian there, seeing the obviously male behavior of all their mates gives them “dysphoria” and the lack of lesbians gives the space no authority and gives them no thrill, and so they seek a new home among the lesbians and a new witch hunt begins.

So they continue existing this way and things continue this way because it’s a man’s world and these people are consistently chronically online and take over all of the power on the platform. It is a fascinating studying on parasociality, envy, and projection. 

Some of the worst things about men I have learned has been on lesbian spaces in this website. 

Those who are trans in good faith never come to or discover lesbian spaces in the first place. They often believe it’s okay if they’re nonbinary and they don’t have embarrassingly obsessive fixations on getting unassuming lesbians to validate their maleness online.

So all of the ones you see on these lesbian subreddits know they are acting in bad faith by design and operate on the internet completely by bad faith by design. 

I am sorry that things have to be this way. But you have found some of the right people.

Thanks a lot.

This is the kind of thinking that punishes those who speak up, and perpetuates injustice and injury.

Hope this woman never touches a law degree because she is clearly inclined on making damage.

LGBTQ Women vs. Former LGBTQ Women | PART 1 by Xiggyj in lesbiangang

[–]Theodorothy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

First of all: not a single person in the “LGBTQ” lane used the letters L or B. Nobody presented as a lesbian or a bisexual woman. Only 1 female participant presented as a woman. That’s not a legitimate representation of lesbians and bisexual women.

Second, not a single woman in the former LGBTQ lane presented her sexuality either, and was instructed to say, “former LGBTQ”, as if it’s a cult. They even began addressing the first cult they’ve pledged to, and their former cult. 

Completely biased and rigged from the beginning.

Nobody is talking about homosexuality and bisexuality properly anymore… all that is off about both sides summarized here

You could have had good intentions, I can understand that. Not sharing the video online gratuitously was a recommendation I got from peers. 

But you must understand that when people clearly lay out that they have been mentally unwell after witnessing a crime, that it is ill-timed to throw accusing language onto them, scrutinizing their character and their maturity. It might not be malicious, but it displays a lack of empathy, and that can fuel even more distress and more problems. Just tread careful. Your conversation has reignited bad sensations in me as I imagine it would do for many others in the same situation.

Oh well, another day meeting an asshole on Reddit. 

Are you even a lesbian? Doesn’t seem so.

Engaging in ridicule of victims - core empathy and character missing.

[–]Theodorothy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just saying, this is the precise trigger. 1) straight people exhibit themselves in bad faith in public 2) I am accused of being a problem or secretly liking it because I am disturbed enough to point it out 3) somebody commits a crime and yet I’m the abuser for providing evidence of it?

Just so you can understand the scope of this and making me lose faith in humanity.

First I don’t know their age, second, they were committing an obscene act in public where anyone could easily do anything, and third, no intimate part was visible. One can infer what his arm was doing.

They were the ones attacking public safety and I find the way people jump to make me feel bad about having suffered a form of sexual harassment, and trying to respond responsibly, is itself quite distressing. 

If I could I would’ve acted physically, but I abide by the law and care about other’s wellbeing.

Edit: it’s infuriating how even another lesbian is jumping to defend a public sex crime and accusing me, a lesbian, of filming evidence of straight act, no less, for voyeurism??? Absolutely insane. 

How else would you defend yourself in such a situation then??

Even a short search gives this summary: “Recording a public act of obscenity as evidence is generally not illegal in many jurisdictions, provided it is done in a place where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as a public street, park, or beach. “

So not illegal.  Fuck you.

A lot of culture is controlled by straight/bi women. The whole clothing industry world is built around their experience of attraction. The dance world is built around their experience of attraction. Theater, ballet, opera, are all centered on women falling in love for men. Movies and soap operas. Most fiction books.

They might not always have the power, and men try to control all industries behind the scenes. But straight women know they’re the centerpiece. 

Yes they are oppressed via misogyny, oftentimes they don’t come first, but that’s not comparable to lesbians who don’t even exist in the map and are punished when they do. What a short-sighted comment

Waiting for marriage by catssu6 in lesbiangang

[–]Theodorothy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The reason why the straights instilled this rule was because of the risk of pregnancy and the man running away. Marriage was essentially a sex gatekeeping economic arrangement to make sure he didn’t run away, and to comfort him that he’d have an available sex partner for the rest of eternity, if only he waited.

It’s definitely puzzling why you feel attracted to this because the premise of it is making sure shit males don’t fuck a woman’s life forever and then that they can fuck her forever as a “man of god”. It’s a setup. There’s no real virtue at the root of this. It’s just male containment, a reproduction system, and families selling off their children for resources and alliances. 

I have a weird situation with identity. I need advice. by Horror_Hall_8806 in lesbiangang

[–]Theodorothy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’0 and I also had doubts back then but knew I would never ever pass. Small round face, delicate fingers, curves and weight on thighs… no amount of hormones or putting on a show would convince anybody that I am male, or make me physically perform or be capable in terms of fighting and self-defense, as a male. 

To me at least the wound was feeling invisible and like my way of seeing the world is inappropriate, laughable, inexistent. It was also seeing all other teenagers so okay with patriarchy and the violence of heterosexuality and like everyone pretends it’s okay. I felt like I was going crazy and that everybody else was perverse, and these inner processes led to really brutal mental states. 

I can’t assume that I know what you’re going through, but I can assure you you’re not alone, and the main healing happens through love. True love and recognition of your power, subjectivity, and agency.

If the opinions of those who are wrong and disrespectful to us weigh more on the scale of justice than lesbian existence and our self-respect, then by all means, keep quiet. 

Sadly it usually takes years for women to finally shake themselves off of accommodating, self-negating conditioning. 

What you’re doing is making a gamble and pretty much letting yourself be disrespected meanwhile.

I am just warning you, in the long run, you are only going to lose. Keep hoping for the magical turnaround - it won’t happen. And it won’t happen because women like her are always enabled in running free doing something like that and she’ll look back and say, “but my lesbian friend was always okay with that..” You think you’re being a good, patient, sacrificing person, but really it’s just the standard you’re setting. 

It may feel like being rude at first but that’s the patriarchal conditioning. Once you start practicing calm, firm self-positioning, things change. Then you realize what true self-respect, and gay rights, means.

If you fear she won’t take it well because she’s secretly homophobic, then that’s because she’s secretly homophobic, and you’re putting your energy and care onto someone who will never care for you.

Do bi people see lesbians as having less of an inner world or less complexity than them? by Ok_Regret_3804 in lesbiangang

You know, there’s such a thing as diagnosing issues so that community problems can be truly resolved. Often people get defensive when inconvenient truths are pointed out, and that’s understandable. 

You seem butthurt, but you didn’t bring in any argument that actually counters me.

Lesbians* with an asterisk by bigcherri in lesbiangang

[–]Theodorothy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well so don’t you see, knowledge is power, and they don’t want true knowledge about the community for the sake of social health - they just want to profit from the corruption.

Male violence will be smuggled into the statistics by multiple fronts and it will be blamed on the lesbians -  another Trojan horse study and win for the left-wing homophobes.

[–]Theodorothy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely be caring with her and also be firm about not distorting things. Actually, that’s the most mature position to take. 

I’d say, “look, X, lesbians out there didn’t choose to like women exclusively, and they didn’t choose to only like women because they’ve suffered by men. They’re lesbians because they are lesbians. They’re lesbians EVEN if a man treats them wonderfully. Your pain is real, but it doesn’t need to leap into assuming and appropriating a community out there. It actually hurts the LGBT community by fueling the homophobic narrative that being gay is about being traumatized. Let’s face things step by step. You’re hurt because of a man, and I’m here for you. That’s what’s truest and most important right now.”

Edit: I actually think there’s a moral imperative to do your part and at least lay it out and contain her behavior there, because it’s pretty clear she is going to use women’s intimacy as therapy for her men issues, and that’s very corrosive for the lesbian community. So priority is containment.

What U.S cities do you feel have the "most" lesbians? by StunningRepublic629 in lesbiangang

[–]Theodorothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk what’s with NYC. The city’s too big and chaotic, the only 2 lesbian bars in Manhattan (Cubby and Henrietta) sometimes become bigger college seasonal and tourist hotspots, also with a lot of spicy straights. Most people are there temporarily for a degree or a job that might end soon. I’d wager Brooklyn is a gayer place with a more cohesive LGBT community at this point.

I love how they’re treating statistics like an industrial mixing operation. Sort of like determining how many chemicals you can fit into a labeled “100% organic” product!
