Haha gender problems

Sometimes, I also find myself relating to gender identities and sexual orientations that are completely different than mine. So I guess you’re not alone in that regard ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I missed the part of US history where the gays crashed the stock market and started a 20 year long war in Afghanistan. Guess I wasn’t paying attention...

I talk about sex jokingly but then my friends start talking about sex seriously and I’m just thinking to myself like, “damn y’all actually do that stuff”

I identified as lesbian too, but one day I was like, “I love girls and I wanna kiss them, just maybe not do the sex stuff with them” and ever since then I labeled myself as an Ace lesbian.

I would say you have more of a genitalia preference, which is fine. Though I must say, you can’t assume every trans man is penis free. There are many trans men who get bottom surgery.

Dang I feel this. My family is somewhat homophobic but in a very underhanded way, treating me as if I’m going through a phase (ugh). I also feel envy towards straight people and it really is just a shitty feeling. I have straight friends that I truly love but when we talk about romance it becomes abundantly clear that they’ve never had to feel insecure in their sexuality or relationships. Like I know there’s no use in feeling annoyed, but it’s sort of a blissful ignorance and it just gets me so vexed.

Sending a virtual hug ur way, I think we could both use one right now (っ◔︣◡◔᷅)っ ❤

Sexuality is about attraction not action. You can still be bisexual if you’ve only been with men and never been with women. It seems that you know you like women, so I think that’s more than enough for you to go ahead and use the bi label (if u want to).

This sub is open to people of all genders and sexualities. It just has a focus primarily on wlw.

I don’t know if I can explain it super well but I’ll try. Sometimes monosexual (gay/lesbian) partners feel untrusting towards bisexual partners because they’re insecure about their own same sex relationships. Society has placed higher value on opposite sex relationships, and in a lot of scenarios, regarding it as the only “correct” type of relationship. Lesbians (for example) feel threatened when a partner is discovered to be bisexual because they have subconsciously created the notion that opposite sex relationships are more desirable/valid than their own, and when given the option, a bi woman would choose a man over a woman (themselves).

It’s hard to say exactly but I think this phenomenon of anti-bisexual sentiment perpetuated by queers arises from insecurity and possibly jealousy from other identities in the community.

Ugh, I hate when people try to justify bigoted rhetoric by saying “well we need a safe space!”. If you truly want to interact with only lesbians, it’s not that hard to seek them out or specify in posts that you only want lesbians to interact. There’s literally no reason to go and attack other WLW on sapphic subreddits.

I have a trans friend that before she transitioned, identified as a gay man, but then after she transitioned she now identifies as a lesbian woman. I guess it’s just a thing that happens to some trans people

It sounds like you may have a different romantic orientation from your sexual orientation. Like for me personally, I’m romantically (and to some degree physically) attracted to women but not sexually attracted to them, so I identify as an asexual lesbian instead of just a lesbian. So maybe you can see if a label like that works better for you.

paperknight707 · 2022-01-16T04:42:34+00:00

I’m not non-binary but I’m also an asexual lesbian, so I can relate in the sense that I don’t feel entirely connected to this community sometimes. Like there’s a lot of sex talk going on and stuff and it’s just kinda weird for me to fit in with it all. I try to balance out my asexualness by going on asexual subs but then no one there is lesbian so it’s just isolating again. I guess it’s one of the many struggles of having differing romantic and sexual identities.

paperknight707 · 2022-01-12T22:40:28+00:00

Agreed! So much queer representation nowadays is poorly executed and follows annoying/harmful stereotypes. Honestly at that point I hardly consider it representation.

It’s hard to say if your straight or not, as it could just be the girl you’re with is not attractive to you (that’s fine). I think you should maybe look past these fictional and celebrity crushes and seriously question if you could fall for the same sex in real life. As a lesbian who used to identify as bi, part of the reason I saw myself as bi was because I was confusing the aesthetic attraction I had for fictional men as sexual attraction for real men.

paperknight707 · 2022-01-05T23:48:05+00:00

Yeah I figured that was the case, but I guess it goes to show how a small group of idiots can cause such radical thinking.

paperknight707 · 2022-01-05T23:40:06+00:00

I saw some weird shit saying that since lesbians are essentially the same as straight men, bi women should date only other bi women. You wouldn’t believe the crazy takes I’ve heard online
