honestly, you guys obviously see all of the screenshots I post on here of the crazy shit I see on various social media platforms, debating the definition of lesbian, insisting that lesbians can like males and like dick, rewriting lesbian history, calling lesbians queer, then saying if we don't think men can be women, we're just gay and not culturally queer. and I know that all of the lgbt people in my local area think the same way. I genuinely feel like I'm in the twilight zone or it must be opposite day or something. it's depressing. not only does being a female homosexual make you feel isolated from nearly all of popular culture and media, it also makes you feel like you'll be fucking hung drawn and quartered by your own alleged "community" if you shared even a fraction of your real opinions out loud. and it's weird because with my best friend who's a very normal typical straight girl I can sort of hint at some of my beliefs, and she gets it an understands, but even then I can't fully admit that I think trans women are men, and I feel like no matter how much she understands and accepts me, I sometimes get reminded through little throwaway comments that lesbians are still highly misunderstood by straight people, and that she can never fully "get" me. and my other best friend who I've known since childhood understands my same-sex-attraction and was a weird gay tumblr kid with me in middle school, but is now going by they/them pronouns after living in portland oregon for a few years, and would actually stop being my friend if I told her I think trans women are men. and don't get me started on dating. trying to find someone who is a lesbian, lives in my area, is in the right age range, single, physically attractive, has a compatible personality with mine, identifies as a woman and uses she/her, AND agrees with radical feminism? forget about it. and trying to form a friend group of people that actually get you is impossible, too lesbian for straight girls, and ironically too lesbian for other lesbians and lgb people. ugghhhhh. it's just so depressing. maybe this is a priviliged gen-z take, but I think the best time to be a young lesbian in her 20s was probably between the years of 1995-2010. even then, ofc normal homophobia was more prevelent, but now, we have to deal with all the woke homophobia and neverending discourse I mentioned, AND the tqia+ lumping themselves together with us has actually decreased acceptance among the general straight population. and there's no escape. lesbian events in person and online always contain a footnote, it's like "join us for lesbian* night at this local bar! *this local bar supports all queer people regardless of gender, expression, pronouns, sexuality, or identity, all are welcome here for lesbian night".
I feel like I'm in the closet even when I'm out. to my parents, it's an open secret that we don't talk about, and my dad seems to think I've decided to become a lesbian because I hate men. with my friends, I can be out as a lesbian, but not out as a female homosexual who isn't attracted to ANY males, regardless of identity, or out as someone who thinks men can't be women. and not to be depressing and hopeless, but it seems like the lesbian situation is just getting worse day by day. to the general public, like random people I happen to meet at work or whatever, I'm not out, and I don't talk about it, and most of my family is some degree of homophobic ranging from slight transgression to outright christian "going to hell" homophobia. so where is the escape from homophobia? it's certainly not in "queer" spaces, and even most other lesbians, even if they are actual female homosexuals have fully adopted trans ideology, so it's not with them. anyway, just know that all these screenshots I post make me deeply depressed and hit me the same way good old fashioned southern christian homophobia hits me, and I'm mainly posting because I just feel like I have to share it with SOMEONE, anyone who can see through the twilight zone opposite day crazy land shit too. and most of this shit, I don't even search it out, it just finds me while I'm casually scrolling social media trying to escape the stress of normal life! I can't imagine being an even younger lesbian and trying to figure this shit out in this cultural landscape. anyway rant over look at the screenshots aren't they fucking crazy
