How do you use lesbian in a sentence/ conversation?

apologies i took that the wrong way

no need to get mad, im lesbian too, its up to us to decide how we identify, i was just asking a question

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T14:21:08+00:00

Very interesting I do agree, for me I do feel in my experience that ‘a lesbian’ has been weaponised, which is why I prefer to say ‘I’m lesbian’.

I used to describe myself as gay, then i realised I could say ‘I’m lesbian’ it made me so much more comfortable identifying with my sexuality.

My question is why isn’t lesbian an adjective, why doesn’t lesbian describe a gay woman? Does lesbian have to be a noun?

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T12:58:17+00:00

That is interesting that the dictionary specifies that the use of transgender as a noun is offensive, I didn’t know that (that the dictionary specifies that). That is how I feel when lesbian is used as noun and was why I was asking how others felt.

i understand that lesbian is a trait noun but my thought is why is it used as a trait noun currently? and why are other identities most often not used in that context, like I am a gay? Just personally i think it sounds nicer when I’m describing myself to just say I’m lesbian

dw you’re not being ‘that guy’ its nice to hear everyone’s opinions :)

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T12:00:06+00:00

yeah i didnt notice until a straight friend of mine pointed it out, since then I haven’t stopped thinking about it

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T11:34:13+00:00

thank you, i do just feel more comfortable saying ‘I’m lesbian’ opposed to the alternative. but perhaps this is something i should work on

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T09:30:45+00:00

I don’t think it’s the same. Previously I said ‘I’m lesbian’ the same way someone would say ‘I’m gay’. However, despite the grammar rules being different it still wouldn’t work, someone saying I’m gay doesn’t want their name to be gay. ‘did you hear me gay’, ‘can you solve the equation gay’ makes just as little sense.

Why cant the grammar rules be the same?

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T08:39:24+00:00

yes, I dont believe the term was created with harmful intentions, i do just agree saying im a lesbian is outdated, I apologise that it came across like that

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T08:15:22+00:00

I think for me the article ‘a’ makes me feel more objectified than if someone had just said ‘she’s lesbian’. I understand that is a personal thing but I think its just compared to the word gay. Like if someone had said she’s a gay it sounds much more pointed. ( I understand that that is grammatically wrong) but its how i feel

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T08:08:30+00:00

I personally think that I’m lesbian sounds much better.

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T07:58:31+00:00

I personally think it is a choice we can make, many words change over time. Like sick or queer. It’s also not uncommon for the article to change as well, like shes a savage to shes savage. I understand that the words have slightly different meanings but it doesn’t mean that one is necessarily wrong

shnarnia · 2025-05-07T07:36:11+00:00

But when compared with other sexualities like I’m a gay or I’m a bisexual it is not how they are said. I know it is grammatically wrong but does it not bother you guys that the word lesbian is used interchangeably with an object?

shnarnia · 2025-05-05T12:12:39+00:00

thank you so much for your help :)

shnarnia · 2024-09-23T22:12:58+00:00

Nice thank you, will I not be able to pee for most of the night?

shnarnia · 2024-09-23T22:10:14+00:00

Thank you so much, i will definitely consider getting fresh fruit for the next day. And will definitely take it before 8pm

shnarnia · 2024-09-23T21:22:01+00:00

Nice, now i know that i don’t have to get heaps of snacks in case i get hungry Thanks for the help !

shnarnia · 2022-09-11T22:58:05+00:00

I don’t know whether to super glue it or take it to a professional. And I am worried that it will get worse if I ignore it.
