Honestly I feel worse for gay men in this! At least there's a very slight inclination here to keep "lesbian" exclusive to women rather than letting it serve as an umbrella term for anybody who thinks they're too special and interesting to be a straightie lmao

Even though that’s happening, people take gay men a lot more seriously than lesbians in general. So even though “gay” is used as whatever in the community, people still generally respect and believe men who say they’re gay. Lesbians were already not taken seriously so we tend to suffer more from this specific problem.
