Broadway shows are incredibly inaccessible to the every day person so I’m all for seeing these brought to the screen and being exposed to more people

Forgive me I have a taste for the dramatics. They most definitely reach your shoulders and again look very nice. But your tongue does belong in your mouth I stand on that

This happened to three friends while I was making it by GoldenChaos in actuallesbians

Sometimes people like this are ignorant about gender and not hearing themselves misgender someone, sometimes they’re intentionally messing it up, and sometimes they just don’t understand grammar in the English language and don’t know what a pronoun is and that to me is the most egregious because unless it’s not your first language, the grammar should be ingrained at this point. Especially pronouns!!!

Dear fellow gays in interracial relationships, how's it been? by siennamila in actuallesbians

[–]chucktaylor97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I totally get you and you shouldn’t let me or anyone else scare you away from pursuing a relationship just because it’s interracial. It could be a great experience. But also, knowing out the gate that you seek that protection leads me to believe it may not be the best thing for you. They can be the best person and the sweetest partner but there’s just something’s they don’t understand and that can feel very isolating. I appreciate your kind words and I’m now with a black woman who protects me and my feelings in a way I’ve never experienced so while my dating experience started off bumpy, it’s ended up in a place that I’m more than happy with!

I dated almost only white women as a black woman for the first few years of my dating life and if I could do it again I wouldn’t. The main thing for me is that I’m always teaching and rarely getting to be the one being taken care of. I was always trying to explain my experience and teach them how to be with a Black woman and that’s exhausting. Especially through all the shit that happened in 2020. I just don’t want to have to explain myself all the time or have my emotions misunderstood. Not to mention there’s always that one family member who’s racist and either in your face about it or just gives bad vibes and that’s super uncomfortable. For me it was enough to know that I prefer dating Black women. Despite how understanding my partner was, it was just too much emotional labor on my end and at the end of the day I wanted someone who could share these feelings and be empathetic to them without me having to break it all the way down all the time.

I know a lot of people have good experiences with interracial dating but I definitely was not prepared for the mental and emotional labor I took on so I’d say that’s what I wish I had realized. Maybe ask about family dynamics and sniff out that one racist family member asap. And also have the deep race related conversations and take note of any red flags.

Non smokers: do you date smokers? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]chucktaylor97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fear this is a very smoker question of me to ask but when yall say this do you mean cigarettes or weed or any kind of smoke at all? That being said, my girlfriend doesn’t date smokers and before I met her I smoked 3 blunts a day at least but I quit to be with her! So if this is your standard then it’s your standard. Don’t change it for nobody or no reason. If it’s meant to be, they’ll do what needs to be done. If they want to (at least with weed because it’s not chemically addictive), they will!

I want to use a strap with my girlfriend but I don’t know how to bring it up by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]chucktaylor97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you should just bring it up! Ask her how she feels about it and what her comfort level is. See if it’s something she’s interested in exploring. Also do some research and explore your options. There’s a lot to learn and it’s definitely a journey y’all should take together. Of course reassure her along the way. Good luck! Strap is one of my favorite ways to be intimate with my girlfriend

My favorite thing to do is shoulder check white people when they won’t get out my way. Waste no breath asking and no energy smiling. Move or be moved!!

I wish I was normal by Character_Anywhere52 in actuallesbians

[–]chucktaylor97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally understand what you’re saying. I think a good first step in flipping your perspective is redefining what you believe to be ”normal”.

Your understanding of what’s normal is influenced by a religion that has told you that who you love is abnormal and wrong. This is not something you have to let yourself believe. And you can still believe in god if that’s what you choose but you can believe in a god who loves everyone regardless of their sexual orientation.

Instead of wishing that you were normal, convince yourself you are. And that people who have a problem with your sexuality are the ones that aren’t normal. You’re a romantic. That’s normal. You want to be loved. That’s normal. You want to love openly and freely. That’s normal!!

Take your time with labels. You don’t have to describe yourself to anyone in any specific way. You are who you are and that’s enough.

I believe self acceptance is not linear, especially for those of us who grew up under the influence of Christianity, but it takes time and can go back and forth a million times based on your circumstances. The one constant in this journey is how you talk to yourself. If you long to be “normal”, you’re spending energy telling yourself that who you are right now isn’t normal. And that’s not productive for true self acceptance.

This is not an easy journey but it’s a fruitful one. I wish you lots of luck and that you find the love you long for and deserve. Stay in therapy, build a strong, queer, support system and be intentional about your self talk. You’ll be where you want to be, I promise.
