[–]yousaythosethingsFind and Replace "gatekeeping" with "having boundaries"[S] 22 insightful - 4 fun22 insightful - 3 fun23 insightful - 4 fun -  (6 children)

As an actual late-bloomer, I am kind of on a mission to root out all of this gay misappropriation that I see rampant in places like r/latebloomerlesbians, r/actuallesbians, etc. Quite honestly this behavior harms actual LBLs like myself because people are going to think I'm like these self-deluded tourists and it trivializes the issues that actual gay, lesbian, and bisexual people face as a result of their same-sex attraction.

This mindset goes hand-in-hand with TQ ideology, which supports that people can identify in and out of sexual orientation and equates being gay or bisexual with being open-minded. It also mirrors TQ behavior and particularly Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) because it has these women trying to re-write their history to fit a narrative that is not theirs so that they can shoehorn themselves in based on stereotypes and turn being gay/lesbian/bisexual into an identity/feeling.

Anyway, this woman's post history is full of her questioning her sexual orientation as of less than three weeks ago based on the following:

I was on tiktok last week and my feed was full of hot women. I started thinking that I found them attractive and wondering what it meant.

I follow this girl on Instagram who recently came out as gay after having been in relationships with guys and their relationship looks so easy and happy and it made me jealous. I don't know if it made me jealous because she was with a woman or because she had found her soulmate.

She then spends apparently that whole day chattiing with women on dating apps and trying to convince herself she's so gay over the course of the next few days while talking about admitted physical attraction to men's bodies. She is clearly in a bad place, probably lonely AF during quarantine as a single mom to a young child, and wants an excuse for her failed relationships. What's missing? Uh the main thing that makes a woman a lesbian: exclusive, natural, and obvious sexual attraction to female bodies. She's worried she won't like vaginas. Like wtf.

Thank you! People are starting to realize that transtrending is a thing. But I see few people who realize gaytrending is a thing, too.

I think people noticed the 'bisexual trend'. Suddenly lots of straight women were saying they were bi lol. But now, it's changing to lesbian/gay instead of bisexual and I agree with you, I really don't think people have realised it yet.

This happened in my highschool and college years- a friend actually confided in me her "goal" for the end of the year was to "become bisexual" and plenty other women who wanted to be "not like the other girls" were suddenly bi with no bi experiences or desires lol. Meanwhile I came out as bi and was socially outcast at my small cornfield college then fetishized by men to the point I never told anyone again (currently dating a man).

It's nothing new, except along with the teens trying to redefine themselves and redefine sex as they have since the beginning of time we have lots of emotionally stunted adults doing it to.

Whoa, holy shit. I did not realize it was that bad. I thought people were just being hurtful by saying stuff like that.

I'm sorry you had so little support! Hope you're doing okay now.

Thank you! Its been cool over the years to realize I had no reason to feel shame or feel isolated being bi. Though in this new TRA environment I don’t feel comfortable being openly bi either. I just keep to myself outside my closest loved ones about it.

I think it is because lesbian and gay words are redefined by gender ideologists as bisexuals, to a point when they are synonymous for outside-people who are checking UK/Canada news time to time.
