-Demonisation of us by other LGBT people and their hyper woque allies. -Increasing pressure by others into loosening our boundaries or "working through" our homosexuality (aka another form of conversion therapy). -Increasing pressure by others to identify as something else (i.e being told lesbianism is exclusionary/too restrictive (no fucking shit), it's uncool, outdated, etc) -The gradual erosion of the meaning of lesbianism which results in many people not actually understanding us, and results in non-lesbians "identifying" as lesbians. There are more but others have mentioned them. Personally, it is becoming harder to exist as a lesbian. When I first came out I felt secure in my community, that I could tell people "I'm gay/a lesbian" and people would respect that. Times have really changed…

Well that was a good comment, I wonder how long before it was deleted and the woman was banned for it...
