Being bi during these times has me in an identity crisis ngl. I really want to be done with men and try dating girls again but I’m so scared of the repercussions of being publicly gay in this era of hate

And I also recognize I’m very privileged to be able to hide it and conform because I know a lot of people in the community don’t have that option and have to face oppression on a regular basis because of their identity

i’m in a lesbian relationship and honestly it’s not as bad irl as the internet makes it out to be. there are moments where it sucks and people can be shitty for sure, but i’ve been dating women publicly since 2016 and tbh the real life interactions haven’t changed all too much. there are definitely more hateful people out there, but most of them are cowards

not to say hate crimes don’t exist or anything obviously they do and it’s still so important to be aware of your surroundings and keep yourself safe. i’ve experienced a few instances that were rather scary. but my main point is just that it hasn’t actually gotten that much worse irl, people talk a lot of talk now but not as many walk the walk.

they weren’t claiming it was, they actually directly acknowledged that they know other people who can’t be as covert have a different experience than them. it’s valid for someone to be nervous about being openly in a wlw relationship if they’ve never experienced that before and have been seeing what people are saying online. that doesn’t at all diminish your struggle and making it a competition will harm everyone involved
