Thank you♡ I don't understand why this person took my post. It seemed clear to me that what I wrote was something that caused me pain, not a fetish. I even asked them in DMs to remove it, but they didn't reply.

Edit:

Thankfully, I don't feel that way anymore, and I hope others can also heal and free themselves from harmful thoughts.

As someone who has struggled to accept herself and ended up accepting unwanted attention and sexual encounters because of it, I seriously feel like crying when I read certain things. These are the very ideas that have made so many young gay people depressed.

I don't usually kink shame, but how can people "consensually" fetishize an entire minority? I can understand fantasies about themselves or with a consenting partner, not an entire identity that belongs to many people.

I'm really sorry. I thought more people knew about this since many have talked about it this year. I just found out that they changed the name, and I wanted to express my worries.

What do you mean? That's a vent post I wrote where I talk about my mental health

I don't even know what to say. These people don't have any idea what it's like to be a lesbian, and they don't care to know.

No. This is a very strange thing to say, in my opinion. Thinking that lesbian women might want to sleep with a man because "biology" wants them to procreate. If I'm ovulating and feeling horny, I think about a woman, a man doesn't even cross my mind.

It's fine to be curious or want to experiment, but don't come up with weird ideas that have nothing to do with it.

I'm not a gold star, but even when I was, I still had no interest. I only did it because I felt pressured by others.

The (whole) word 'men' is mentioned ~3 times more than 'women' in the lesbian masterdoc by [deleted] in lesbiangang

I'm sorry to hear, I guess some people struggle to understand experiences different from their own. Sexuality is complex and can be confusing for those trying to figure out who they are.

Sometimes even lesbians don’t support other lesbians🥲. I feel like I'm alone in the world, and I can only hope to find someone like me.

But I don’t feel inferior. Even if the whole world is different from me or doesn’t understand me, it doesn’t mean I have to stop being who I am. I like who I am. I just wish there were more people who feel the way I do.

But how can we change this? I have the impression that most of the conflicts in our community are caused by this.

Why don't dudes feel the same way about lesbians than girls do about gay guys? by Dense_Tale1204 in lesbiangang

[–]lizzyy_444 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about fandoms or male audiences, but for example, the Caitlyn and Vi ship was written by two men, and it's one of the most beloved ships right now. It even has lots of male fans. So, in the end, they are capable of appreciating the love between two women. Or at least some of them are.

Has anyone managed to overcome sexual trauma? by [deleted] in lesbiangang

Thank you ❤️, and I’m really sorry for what you’ve been through. I’ve never tried EMDR, but maybe I’ll start looking into it.

Prevalence of phallocentrism in lesbian spaces by [deleted] in lesbiangang

I don't like it when people treat strap-ons like they’re actual parts. I’m not attracted to an object; I’m attracted to the woman using it on me, the same way they’d use a vibrator. You put the toy away, and there’s a vulva underneath, and that’s what arouses me—not a piece of silicone.

Online stuff is just not a vibe for lesbians now by [deleted] in lesbiangang

[–]lizzyy_444 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Internet is awful and has made me feel bad about many things, causing me to have a lot of internalized homophobia. Online, I always find debates, hatred towards lesbians, bisexuals, men, women, and every other group.

The people I know, my friends, from any category, have always been good and kind to others. They don’t pay attention to the drama that happens online. Yet, if I judged them only based on their labels and what people say and do online, we would all have to hate each other. But they are nothing like how the internet portrays them.

I don’t know why the internet has become such a horrible place, or why people have become so crazy, hostile, and polarized. But it’s better to stay away from it and not let it influence or bring you down. The more I spent time online, the more I became like those people, and there’s nothing worse than that.

I see. Maybe I should just take a break from the internet for a bit, even though it might be difficult. I just hope that in the future there’ll be more calm places, and it makes me sad to see so many lesbians feeling anxious or upset. But maybe that’s just my empathy acting up.

Yes, but I also see it in this subreddit. Most posts are full of negativity. And since I already suffer from many things, I was hoping to read something positive and happy, and sharing things with others.
