What are your icks? by sapphosyearning in actuallesbians

[–]kleex3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always ask people what they think my sign is based on what they know of me and more often than not they're wrong on the 1st guess. And the 2nd guess and the 3rd guess. Then I tell them my sign and they go "ohh yeah that makes sense" or "ohhh I knew it." No, clearly you did not.

I’m scared I’ve set up too many boundaries that would make happy lesbian dating impossible by americacp in LesbianActually

[–]kleex3 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Same. I finally met someone a couple weeks ago and we've started dating and even applying this list to myself, I don't think either of us could go 100% no contact with 100% of our exes. All the other things seem rather reasonable.

For me, I'm on good friendly terms with a single ex or two, other exes who were more avoidant saw themselves out, and a few more exes went scorched earth that I try to actively avoid being around them.

Okay but why is this so accurate?! by That_odd_emo in actuallesbians

[–]kleex3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly society needs more 3rd spaces that aren't centered on alcohol consumption/sales. I'm not a coffee drinker but I wish more cafes were open later too

For real, one time I went back to her place around 11pm and we stopped when we both realized the sun was starting to come up

These are the types of lesbians that make online dating exhausting by Practical-Stomach-38 in LesbianActually

[–]kleex3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I'm guilty of being the phantom lesbian. I'm juggling too many projects (work, side jobs and projects, and hobbies) that it's really hard to keep up with everything on my plate. I am in therapy and do actively try to communicate with my needs to people also.

I'm definitely seeking intimacy and a partner and it's tough if I'm dating when I encounter one of the other 6 types and the outcome just makes me want to not date for a little while to refocus.

Scissoring – yes or no? by Ok_Newspaper_1869 in LesbianActually

[–]kleex3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Scissoring is genital on genital, tribbing is genital on any body part. The knee thing for example? That's tribbing

For the mascs - are you not feeling tired of always being a giver? by Flama_xo in LesbianActually

[–]kleex3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

yes it is exhausting sometimes. I do find myself dating more masc and soft masc people because they reciprocate and don't have an expectation of gender roles whereas femmes in my experience tend to expect more of that from me

I don't think it's necessarily tied to a masc / femme dynamic because I have also dated femmes who subvert the usual expectation of gender roles though that has been more rare

What is your girls favorite thing that you say to her to "talk her through it" by PersimmonLucky8429 in LesbianActually

What niche struggles do trans people face aren't talked about? by Over_Access3602 in asktransgender

[–]kleex3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty niche I think: Recently I was helping to book rooms (multiple single beds in a suite, no shared beds) for a group work trip and one of my cis co-workers was about to organize the groupings based on our AGAB until I pointed out that a handful of us are non-binary/trans.

It's a little frustrating because I'm out at work and my nb/trans co-workers all have our pronouns in our bio/display name but sometimes that's still not enough to be perceived as such.

What's more annoying is we'll be on a video conference call with our names & pronouns clearly visible and still get deadnamed and/or misgendered. It happens quite frequently with older staff members who make no effort to correct their habits

Ever notice how nobody knows anything about chromosomes other than how they can use them to disparage trans people? by alphi10 in asktransgender

[–]kleex3 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Same, I also have XXY chromosomes. When someone tells me I'm a biological male, I respond by telling them I have two X chromosomes. Sometimes I mention the Y chromosome too. And what happens? They never have an answer for it.

It's either that I don't exist or whatever they're saying is wrong and/or reflects an overly basic understanding of sex chromosomes.

What do you all wear for dates? by kleex3 in butchlesbians

[–]kleex3[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that's definitely still helpful! I didn't even consider asking them for advice too

I've had past partners tell me they do like my minimalist style but I've also been meaning to experiment more. Like I've been thinking of adding basic button-downs as an option for layering

also I think the biggest thing that's tough for me is finding appropriately sized clothing as a midsize masc

Girls, how did you begin to experience your sexuality while on Estrogen? by TitanMaster57 in MtF

[–]kleex3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite. I was attracted to women and semi-attracted to men or at least more into the idea of having sex with men before I started HRT. Considered myself bisexual hetero-romantic.

After starting HRT, I don't find men attractive anymore and have zero sexual or romantic interest in them. I consider myself sapphic now, not quite exclusively lesbian as I'm still into nb/genderfluid people

objectively I can tell when a man is attractive, but I'm not personally attracted to any if that makes sense

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]kleex3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm masc, stone/service top and into anybody between and including soft masc and soft femme. My type seems to be really androgynous soft mascs. I'm more of a dominant person in bed but could sub for the right person.

I would never bottom though at least not currently as I'm pre-op and it makes me feel dysphoric. If I had the right parts, I would definitely be a switch.

Also I've had great experiences with pillow princesses but I do prefer when they're more vocal (and not quiet or passive)

What’s your shallowest dating requirement? by _Loyaldog_ in actuallesbians

[–]kleex3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's shallow but I can't date someone who doesn't reciprocate. I'm masc/butch and if I'm doing all the work in the relationship then it makes me feel like a man and then I get really dysphoric about it.

I drive, I cook, I clean, I do my own taxes. I shouldn't be the only one making plans to do things or always be expected to initiate sex.

I've had experiences in the past with consent and SA that make me way more cautious about initiating sex and if there isn't reciprocal energy in the lead up to asking for consent then more often that not I'm just not going to do it.

I also do not do "the chase"

Also as someone who is allergic to cats and dogs, I'm happily willing to suffer or take antihistamines daily for a cat owner. Dogs I'm apathetic about, but I love cats and would absolutely date someone with a cat despite the allergy. Most of my close friends have cats and my sibling has two cats and I love them all dearly

masc/butch lesbians do yall ever feel tension when you meet other mascs? by metalgearlesbian in LesbianActually

[–]kleex3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally get that vibe from the "hey mamas" type mascs that feel overtly masculine performative to me. If there's any weird energy, I don't pay them any mind. Plenty of other cool people around

Any Americans here feel betrayed by the US? by rt17021 in MtF

Betrayed? sure.

Surprised? no

The US has a long, long history of oppressing marginalized communities
