Its not imposter syndrome if you are actually an imposter

Yk I kinda am but not for the reasons they think.

I often feel not like other lesbians. I'm not a gay disaster, or a hopeless romantic. I don't conform to any lesbian stereotypes in clothing. When I was talking to my lesbian friend about how I'm not a relationship kind of person and I'm mostly looking for fun I thought to myself "I'm just another straight girl to her" one time I joked about how I don't get the "gay people walk fast" joke bcs I'm so fucking slow and she said "maybe you're not gay" like what??

When did a requirement for being a lesbian become anything other than being attracted to (only) women?

Not to mention not buying into their bullshit gender ideology.

I realize this sounds cringey and I know probably other lesbians feel the same but it is how I often feel surrounded by media (and irl "queer" ppl) who constantly condone those harmful stereotypes. I'm just a normal fucking person who likes women. Nothing to it.

And that's all it should take. Not fashion, not personality, not walking speed, not hobbies, not anything else. Just a woman loving other women. Don't feel bad.

Are you queer enough?! What a grift and made up problem, lmao.

These people are the ultimate navel gazers: utterly self absorbed.

They are too narcissistic to not feel like the center of the universe though

Uh. My boyfriend's butt says I'm gay enough for whatever LGBT umbrella. 'Queer' is gibberish.

Nope, because I'm not "queer", I'm lesbian

Why would being queer even matter? It only matters to straight people so much for a reason.

Queer impostor syndrome ... a term made up for the spicy straights.
