The 90's were a hell of a time to be a bi/lesbian girl. We were so much freer back then and we didn't even realize it.

Man that makes me so sad. I missed the good times by being born too late

It was like a long stretch of "must hide! no one will accept me!" and then there was a short, possibly 5-10 year window where you could just be freely LGB and it was kind of safe, depending on where you were, and then homophobia came back with a vengeance, "suck my girldick" style. But being scared in the closet in the 90's was 100000% better than what's happening to lesbians/bi girls now. No one was telling us "you're actually a boy" or "you must date this trans person." Even the butchest, most masculine girl was still seen as a tomboy, not a trans boy. If you wanted to find a normal, non-weirdo girlfriend, you could. You never had to worry about "Is this a gender special? Is this a tumblrsexual? Is this a handmaid to trans? Is this a pansexual who only likes dick?"

My heart literally breaks for young les/bi girls. They are missing out on so much. Innocent first love without interference from identity politics and fetishists with agendas.

This was in the planning stages even before that. Back in the 1970s, Hollywood was pushing this before I was even born with movies such as Myra Breckinridge and TV shows such as Medical Center for which Robert Reed won an Emmy for playing a heterosexual man who gets a sex change in a guest appearance.

Your comment is so true. One of the worst things about gender ideology and TRA takeover is that it makes it so much harder for lesbians and bi women to find each other now. All the physical places are either cancelled or forced to let in autogynephilic men (which results in lesbians leaving). So all lesbian places are shut down through this malafide "inclusion". Same with dating apps, look at HER for example. My partner and I found each other through sheer luck in person. But my entire teens and early twenties, I didn't know any lesbians, at least none that called themselves lesbians.

Do you really think so? I ask because I am definitely in the younger generation and while I got some experience of more "old-school" homophobia (conservative religious homophobic family), I don't feel like I have enough experience to compare TQ+ homophobia to 90s homophobia.

Innocent first love without interference from identity politics and fetishists with agendas.

Yeahhh. At least there's this lovely pandemic making that difficult, so TRAs aren't making us miss out on as much, hahaha.

I really depends on where you lived, of course. I spent many years both on the east coast and the west coast and back then it was SSSOOOOO EASY to find a girlfriend. You just walk down a street and a girl smiles at you and that's it. You go into the Starbucks, and the barista draws a heart over the whipped cream on your latter with chocolate sauce, your fingers touch as you take the cup, instant love. Your homophobic aunt is standing next to you, completely clueless. You go in to file some paper work in the whatever office, and the girl working the copy machine grins at you. It's your first day at work at whatever company, and the older woman in charge of the whatever department smiles at you and invites you to lunch. You're walking someplace to visit your dad and a dogwalker with 8 dogs going in all directions stops in the middle of the street to chat you up.

These were all just a tiny handful of the IRL experiences I had. It was such a magical time. It felt like the whole world was filled with happy, confident, secure lesbians. And now it feels like they're all gone. I don't live in America anymore, but I see on the internet, all the lesbians are asking "Where have all the lesbians gone?" They're all hiding behind a computer, terrified!

I'm so sorry, this is not fair to any of you. It's not supposed to be like this!
