my taste in men as a lesbian is so predictable why didn’t i realize i was a lesbian like a year ago LMFAAAAOOSOSJXJSKF

people hate lesbians. PEOPLE HATE LESBIANS!!!

how some people can look at Zhongli and Venti's dialogue during this Lantern Rite and interpret it as beefing instead of, you know, flirting truly blows my mind? like it's not just what they're saying, but also the way they're saying it. it's flirting, they're flirting. and even if they aren't flirting, that's obviously an inside joke? look at Venti's face when Zhongli acts like they're strangers, does it look like someone who can't stand the other and isn't willing to play along with the other's dumb idea? please. I don't understand how people can still think they hate each other even tho it's established that they're friends, not only through items lore and their own character stories (I really doubt someone like Zhongli would let a guy he hates forge his sigil, let him destroy his precious vase, let him pour wine on his head, and then yearn for him for 500 years bffr), but also in the first Liyue Archon quest Zhongli talks about "a friend from Mondstadt" who used to bring him wine all the time, and Venti has a "refined gentleman friend from Liyue" he wishes he could spend more time with. a friend he still visits often, so much so that madame Ping commissioned Tubby to make a Mondstadt-inspired house for the teapot with good acoustics so he could play inside with no problem.

I know 'doll' is an old time-y american nickname meaning 'pretty girl' but to be so fr if a guy called me that i'd think he was insulting me

Know it's likely Not That Deep and everyone probably knows this already or something but increasingly troubled by the way that 'joking' in-group homophobic stereotypes feel like they're starting to spread into some people's legitimate conception of what it means to be gay / part of the 'in-group' or community...

realizing im a lesbian has genuinely been one of the most life-ruining things ive experienced so far :0(

i dont think i know any other lesbians

i am a baby dyke. who likes a baby dyke? apparently nobody. i dont seem to fit into ANY lesbian spaces because i'm green but how do i become not green without experience? apparently i need 10 years experience for an entry-level job :0(??

how... do i even find other lesbians irl? "gay bar" ok first off why would i ever go to a bar. also im pretty sure those dont exist where i live

do i love lesbians because i hate and am traumatized by men or do i love lesbians because im normal. only one answer actually makes me a lesbian

if im not lesbian what am i? :0( i dont want to Just be asexual, that doesnt Mean anything

lesbians are fucking scary. i used to follow 10 sapphic-centric blogs but.... theyre always talking about how horrible/annoying other lesbians are over discourse ive never heard of, meaning, im probably participating in it without knowing

oh yeah. that too. i know nothing about lesbians. and being a lesbian. apparently when you're a lesbian you have to know every single piece of sapphic literature and every lesbian of history or you're bad and stupid and dont deserve to be talked to

it really feels like being hetero is free and easy, like you dont have to think about it you just Love Someone, but being queer is hard and energy-consuming and you have no choice but to dedicate the rest of your life to learning and knowing every single piece of sapphic-centered discourse. it seems like being a lesbian has more to do with knowing facts about historic lesbianism than it has to do with loving another lesbian and i'm sooooo not interested in being queer for the sake of discourse i just want to kiss a lady or whatever but thats not allowed until i pass my lesbian exam that every other lesbian passed 20 years ago

idk. maybe all of this confusion means im not a lesbian. i think if i really was sapphic i'd know the answers to this stuff already, researching would be easy and enjoyable..... but the master lesbian google doc..... idk... it seems like being sapphic requires more than just "Girls Kinda Pretty" and that is awful to me. i dont want to spend 4 years in lesbian university studying lesbianism just to get my lesbian degree so i can kiss a girl. i want to just kiss a girl Now why do i need a masters degree?? why do i have to study and earn and prove my place in a society where i thought the bottom line was Kiss Girls And Chill

"community history is important" i agree but why do i need to know all of this shit First, Before i am a lesbian. why cant i kiss ladies and research at the same time. idfk. idk anymore. i just want to love my gf. why am i 22 trying to figure out my sexuality when everyone i know did it when we were 14, how is that fair to me?? im sorry for being a late bloomer i dont know what you want from me

nothing I need to hear less than a white homosexual's take on hiphop like I kind of need you people to die

people do not take psychology or neuroscience seriously and it shows!!! would u be arguing with engineers about engineering? architects about architecture? cellists about the cello? no??? then why on earth are u acting like those of us who studied psychology and/or neuroscience dont somehow have knowledge and introspection into our fields that u as someone with 0 educational background in the field lack... like ive been studying this for Years but ok im sure u spending ur free time reading research papers while lacking any of the foundational understanding and background knowledge necessary to correctly interpret psych & neuro research is the same.

I think there’s something also sadly ironic about the fact people say trans men hold up the patriarchy or are often toxic when very often those behaviors are literally encouraged as “checklists to be considered a man” —

People target young trans men often in their binder stages as “transtrenders” and mock them relentlessly on the internet for being “too soft” … So which is it? Do you want trans men to be toxic manly men or do you want them to simply just be trans men? Because it seems to me even the LGBTQ+ community encourages toxic masculinity to be considered a “real man” and not an “attack helicopter.”

I just want people to digest this.

Because you can make fun of “you’re valid 🩷🩵🤍” all you want, but this is often the only place someone young could identify as trans without having to be bullied for their love of those around them who may not fit in. Some of ya’ll wanna say trans men are toxic but don’t even realize that’s exactly what you expect them to be, because otherwise, they’re “fakers” right? They’re trying to “ruin the community” right? Literally using the same tactics our parents did on us and those we even know and date through our lives…

Like c’mon ya’ll. Give me a break. You cannot tell me that the mean-spirited nature of the internet has not perpetuated these harmful stereotypes against a very specific group of young trans people for often very obvious reasons no ones willing to admit.

If you want trans men to have healthier relationships with themselves and others, maybe start breaking down why all your expectations of them fall under the very things you use to act like they don’t belong in the community.

Men over 40 please stop trying to be my friend.

Can you imagine Cory, Ovi and Turner on a season of Big Brother together? They would just be going around shutting down all the bulling and bigotry the whole season, it'd be great

If I have to see one more post with 5000 comments going "aaah I LOVE chubby/fat [character name] 😍😍😍" and it's just another picture of a skinny man w/o visible abs or a woman with giant tits I'm gonna become the fucking Joker

Fandom be normal about bi women challenge (impossible. apparently.)

tbh the way some of yall talk about tomgreg makes it seem like yall don't have any clue what gay male attraction is
