Notice the preoccupation with being seen as a lesbian couple and, somehow for some reason, being concerned that people won’t take them seriously as “lesbians.”

Self-Aware Wolves: Gaytrender and Transtrender edition. These people are holding themselves out to the general public as representatives of our demographic. Lord help us all.

Looking into the person's comment history, she also made another thread where she's scolding bisexual women for saying "I am so gay!"

While I agree with the sentiment, her preoccupation with these labels is sketchy.

Edit: Totally unrelated, but I couldn't help but laugh at the top comment by a trans-identified male randomly mentioning anime. Because of course.

Yeah, and that thread was closed and removed for

violating the following rule and/or policy: Labels and Sexual Orientation Policy

Typical AL.

Good lord. Put them all in a group and they'll be at each other's throats forever.

Loooooool bisexual women must be like “oh hell no, we take this shit from lesbians but at least it’s a time-honoured tradition, straidies can sit down...”

When JKR initially caused the ruckus this year, one of the top replies was a transman asking if JKR wouldn’t consider her relationship gay. Almost all of the replies were very befuddled straight people going, “uh no; that’s the the least gay thing.”

It gives me hope that most straight people get what being LGB is and that almost none of them will see whatever clown show this is as a lesbian relationship.

They know deep down it's all bullshit. That's why they freak out if anything ever so slightly pokes a hole in the bubble of delusion. Normal people don't need "validation" to know who they are or to like themselves.

Honestly everyone would understand this a lot better if people knew about Cluster B personality disorders and mental health conditions that give people an extraordinarily weak sense of self. Then we wouldn’t be rushing to validate all of this nonsense. Mental health professionals should know better than anyone exactly what they’re dealing with here and instead they hand over the keys and let the inmates run the asylum.

It's no wonder that lgbt acceptance rates are plummeting.

She’s mad her gentleman friend won’t look porno enough to make her look hot when they publicly make out. Because that’s lesbian culture (porn culture)
