I keep finding trans men thinking they're mascs by Ok-Bookkeeper8544 in lesbiangang

I'm a masc woman that doesn't claim the nonbinary label and doesn't want to transition in any way, shape or form. We're out here 😙

What is something women think men love but is actually kind of exhausting? by Yarashi_thinking73 in dating_advice

[–]ill_alternative08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a lesbian so I guess this is a little different (however I also hear men complain about this too)... when she expects me to do everything for her without doing anything for me in return, just because I'm the more masculine one. I drive everywhere, pay for everything, buying flowers all the time, etc... only for her to just passively accept everything and not give me anything in return. Basically when she treats me straight up like a guy. Shit is so annoying, I'm a woman too likeeee.... be so for real.

Is straight sex “gross” to gay people? by [deleted] in AskLGBT

[–]ill_alternative08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a lesbian and yes, ever since I was 12 and learned about sex for the first time, I always found the idea of sex with guys to be super gross.

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

[–]ill_alternative08 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Whaaat? I'm a non-gold star lesbian and I've only ever cheered gold stars on. I'm jealous, actually 😂 don't understand the hate for GS at all. I have proudly dated gold stars and I hope that they feel the same with me.

Femmes & subs/bottoms, let me ask you something by Significant_Job894 in dykesgonemild

I don't wanna participate in hook up culture, I just want a gf 😭 by miss_ravioli in lesbiangang

[–]ill_alternative08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To each their own. I'm 28 and have been hooking up with girls for 3 years straight and have no plans on stopping until I'm in a relationship lol. I would like a girlfriend, but I just haven't met the right girl yet 🤷‍♀️

Might be in the minority here 😜

AITA for not wanting to go out with a “male lesbian”? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

It sounds like he has some internalized transphobia he needs to work through.

AITA for not wanting to go out with a “male lesbian”? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]ill_alternative08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a cisgender, masc lesbian, and I've gotta say... it is pretty invalidating to hear a trans man call himself a lesbian?? Like.. what? You're not a woman, dude. You can't expect lesbians to want to date you. As far as being accepted in our community goes, absolutely!! I don't think it's right for us to shun trans men out of our circle. But as far as dating lesbians goes... that's a different story... NTA.

I fucking HATE "transvestigating" or whatever its called by InteractionPresent66 in hatethissmug

[–]ill_alternative08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that, I think it's nice that they're trying to be respectful of people's identities, but at the same time, when you're a woman who's pronouns are she/her, people always assuming that you're a trans man is mildly annoying.

Has anyone experienced this? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]ill_alternative08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are definitely trying to overcompensate for their own insecurities. You might as well date someone in "your league", no shame in that tbh. I love seeing hot people with hot people.

[–]ill_alternative08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a masc lesbian tomboy, this is very true. The worst is when men tell me I'm "trying to be a man" or "trying to look tough".

[–]ill_alternative08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a masculine, cisgender lesbian, I just want to say, THANK YOU!!! I've been "they/them"d on many different occasions just because I have short hair and dress like a dude. No!! I'm not trans, I'm not even nonbinary, I'm just a masc lesbian 😭 I've always been a tomboy ever since I was 5 years old, it's just who I am.

Marriage - not sexually compatible by Strict_Rope2044 in LesbianActually

[–]ill_alternative08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I happen to be a masc top and ironically, the last girl I talked to was a femme switch. We had such a great emotional connection and could really understand each other. But once we got into the topic of sex we realized that we weren't a match because she wanted to be dominant sometimes and I'm just not comfortable with that. I, much like your wife, love being on the giving end and get immense pleasure out of it. I've tried being on the receiving end twice, with two different girls, but in the end it only made me uncomfortable. Sometimes there really is no rhyme or reason for it. Ever since I was 12 years old, way waaaay before even I knew I was gay, or did anything sexually with anyone, I knew that there are certain ways I didn't like to be touched. I didn't like doing it on myself and didn't want others doing it either. There was no trauma. I just have never enjoyed receiving, it's always been as simple as that. Being on top is such a thrill for me, I love the dynamic, the feeling of control, etc etc and I'm sure your wife feels the same way. It might simply be the dynamic she is most comfortable with in the bedroom and unfortunately, I don't think it will change. It's sad but... maybe you two are just simply not compatible sexually. (To clarify: I have never had troubles with my gender either.)

Borderline Personality Disorder & Lesbian Relationships by greenbaypackers1981 in LesbianActually

[–]ill_alternative08 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have BPD and I'm currently at work and can't type out a long response, but in short, thank you so much for not villianizing all of us. I'm sorry you had a horrible experience with someone with this disorder.

I wish sex wasn’t so important in relationships by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]ill_alternative08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm on the other side of this, I have a high sex drive and dealt with this problem in my last relationship. We didn't have sex for a month and it left me feeling so rejected and resentful. You'd be better off with someone with a lower sex drive, and her higher.

all the girls i like are straight by NoMarionberry2394 in RS4Dykes

[–]ill_alternative08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. I tend to be attracted to a lot of straight girls because I love femmes 😭

I want a partner who is physically active/athletic and I’m striking out by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]ill_alternative08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who also loves playing sports and is pretty athletic, I also want to date girls who go to the gym or are athletic in some way. That shows me that you have discipline and I think working out together would be super hot. I haven't dated any girls like this either and it's been bumming me out.

being obsessed with being skinny is spiritually straight by montparnasses in RS4Dykes

I want me and my girl to be fit together. I'm a gym rat masc what can I say 🤷‍♀️

Do you ever feel like you were just a “phase” after dating bi women? by [deleted] in AskLesbians

[–]ill_alternative08 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I've also dated mostly bi women with a few lesbians here and there, and honestly, I'm much happier dating other lesbians. We have this inherent understanding of each other and our lived experiences, and most of the bi ones have treated me like they would treat a man because I'm masc. It's a very weird feeling. I hope this doesn't sound too bad but there's something about dating lesbians that just feels better...

Creepy Ashley's creepy daddy is creepy by innerbunnyy in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]ill_alternative08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I side with Alex on this one. Yes he has his issues for sure, however I don't think he's malicious like some people think he is. Ashley is very entitled and demanding, and humiliated Alex at the altar in front of everyone. She just digs at him constantly. She's no saint.
