@yuritrayd@mamamillipede@lulusavie Sorry, are you saying they should be worried about lesbians not liking penis? Does that definitely sound sane to you when you read it back and think it through? We should worry about lesbians not being attracted to male genitalia?
@mamamillipede@BurgerLesbian67 No lesbians like that. Absolutely none. What you are saying is incredibly homophobic and I struggle to comprehend how you can’t understand that.
@RandomI33534390@pinkkittycakes The word lesbian is for the population of women who only feel attraction to other women. It doesn’t include anyone else.
@gajifan1@iheartxutie@4kaliuchis Your framing leaves lesbians in a trap. We have no capacity to feel attraction to anyone with a male body. If we express that fundamental reality of our sexual orientation though, we are transphobes. I have to hope more lesbians will wake up and push back to such rank homophobia
@laurobert_@LESGABZ Calling a lesbian’s sexuality fluid is invalidating, homophobic and betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what lesbianism means.
@pinkkittycakes Lesbians are women who experience exclusive attraction to other women. If you think that’s a ‘watered down’ concept it’s because you are not a lesbian.
@CeaselessWatchr@hopsiestbunny The gold star term is an acknowledgment of exactly that. In everyday life it is used in a tongue-in-cheek way and does not imply superiority over other lesbians. Some of us have been with men, some of us haven’t. The thing that unites us is that we don’t feel attraction to men.
@hopsiestbunny@CeaselessWatchr Lesbians live in a world that expects them to want men. That is incredibly difficult. Succeeding in refusing to bow to the pressure and shame that comes with being a lesbian in a world that wants you to want men is something we deserve to be able to speak openly about.
