As for their reputation... well, it takes time to build a reputation, whether is a bad or good reputation. If you have a reputation, especially one that outlive time and oceans, you may deserve it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Reputations do not born out of nowhere, that I know.

Would this be equally true of any reputation that lesbians have? In that, as long as it's prevalent... you may deserve it? However negative, insulting, harmful, and homophobic it might be?

Which harmful/homophobic stereotypes that exist about lesbian?

That we’re are just lesbian because we hate men? Political lesbians are bisexuals.

That we’re are just lesbians because we’ve been raped? The women that use lesbian as a trauma cope are bisexual.

That we’re just lesbian to get male attention? Bisexuals are the women using “lesbian” to look fuckble for males

That is just a phase we’ll grow out of it when we find the right man? Who are the type of women that larp as lesbian and then get boyfriends when they grow out of their “lesbian phase”? I’ll let you guess this one :D

I would say all these stereotypes exist because they are real, I have met bisexuals performing every single one of them both online and irl, they exist for a reason, they don’t come out of nowhere, they reflect reality, they just don’t reflect lesbians.

Now that lesbians are toxic; hmm I’m biased to judge but it’s probably true. Everyone is toxic by snowflakes standards. We move on too fast? true. Domestic violence? Probably true. Serial monogamists? Although I don’t fit on this one it’s true for most lesbians. I could go on and on but my time is finite.

Well, I wouldn't say that the ones you cite (and dismiss as being applicable only to bi women) are the fundamental ones. THOSE would be the following (disclaimer: I've never actually believed any of this-- just playing reporter here):

  • Being exclusively same-sex attracted means that you can't reproduce, therefore lesbians are unnatural and unhealthy: pointless at best, harmful to society at worst.
  • Being attracted to men is fundamental to being a woman; therefore, lesbians are not really women. This means that they are either neuter (essentially sexless creatures) or pseudo-men. Either way, they are ugly failures.
  • Due to both of the above, lesbians are psychologically "sick"-- neurotic/immature/mentally-unbalanced-- and often predatory towards straight women. (Well, they CAN'T be attracted to each other-- they're all ugly, duh!)
  • Since sexual activity isn't "real" without the presence of a penis, lesbian sex doesn't count as sex. Therefore, lesbians are delusional and pathetic for thinking that it does. Theirs is less a sexual orientation than a failure to develop any kind of sexuality. They're backward and childish and generally incapable of dealing with adult life.

Now, how does any of THAT apply to bisexual women? But you can see lesbians being viewed through this lens, all right-- especially given the current lesbian-to-transman pipeline.

So: do you agree that these stereotypes exist because they are "real"? And if they AREN'T "real", then how, according to your own argument, did they ever get to be stereotypes in the first place?

A) None of these are stereotypes, they are beliefs.

B) Neither of these beliefs are specifically about lesbians, they are beliefs about women. They naturally extend itself to lesbians because lesbians are women, not the other way around. There are bihet women that don’t get married and don’t have children and they are shamed and bullied for not marrying or having children.

The ‘lesbians sex is not real sex’ is also not stereotype, it’s a belief. One may think is dumb, fucked up, or homophobic but I don’t see how it’s harmful. It has no actual negative impact on lesbians lives if bihets think lesbian sex isn’t real sex besides may be insulting. And it doesn’t reflect reality it reflects an opinion.

Your whole ‘argument’ is like saying going to hell is a homosexual stereotype. It’s not. Homosexuals aren’t known for going to hell, this isn’t something that was done over and over again by homosexuals. It’s not a homosexual trait to go to hell. No one can prove homosexuals go to hell or that hell exist. ‘Homosexuals go to hell’ is a belief.
