LGBTQIA+ on Yik Yak | Being a lesbian is so isolating sometimes. Theres a weird trend ive noticed to over generalize lesbians and say we “all hate bi women” or “we are terfs”. And ive gotten tired of arguing. Im neither. But i struggle to connect with this community bc of it.

Like i think this community struggles with nuance alot because biphobia and lesbophobia can and do exist in tandem. It is not one or the other and im tired of sweeping statements made by both sides. All it does is isolate us from each other further.

lowkey i think it’s just misogyny. gay men as a group are much worse about this than lesbians are but they get a pass for some fucking reason and lesbians get vilified

Only tangentially related but the argument that lesbians are transphobic cause they wouldn’t sleep with a trans woman or that being bi means you only sleep with cis people are also in themselves deeply transphobic. Like… hey… are you truly out loud admitting that you think attraction and gender is based on genitals… and that trans people are their own gender entirely… and your saying that IM transphobic for a reason you made up… ok……….

I will never forget the bi woman that told me that me having sex with a trans woman wasn’t any different than the sex she was having with her cis boyfriend. She told me that I was actually bi bc I would sleep with someone who had a penis and I was just another bi woman pretending to be lesbian so I could oppress the bi women who are confident in their sexualities

Its not the lesbians: its the wider community at large that demonizes lesbians. I saw a post where someone rightfully called out some incel-y rhetoric some lesbians have and the comments were all bi women saying we hate them and we have DV problems and we suck. I just get so frustrated

My girlfriend, who is a trans woman, told me when she was on dating apps that her experience with bi women was fairly negative. She told me she made it very clear she would never be able to fulfill “manly roles” and wanted to be womanly. They tried to make her be the “man” in the relationship, despite her telling them no, so shes les4les now. Lots of transphobia exists outside the lesbian community. She said lesbians made her feel way more comfortable in her transition. Idk.

i understand, but you could personally stop being frustrated and isolating yourself and just like, chill with ur local community instead of worrying what the online lesbians are getting into
