I believe in that thread some people may be confusing crushes for admiration. I also believe some of the comments the users may be in denial of their bisexuality. There are also a few comments I disagree with such as kids not having libido or sexual desire.

Are Lesbians capable of attraction to males up until a certain point in their lives? 

I said it before and I'll say it again. Not only is the word lesbian a stolen word from a small culture east of Greece, but it was never historically used nor meant to mean exclusive to women.

Historically no one believed that woman can love only women and not love men at all, until women's liberations in the last century and LGB achievements. And even nowadays, in majority places of the world people still not believing.

Ayo, Violet! I agree with you. What my comment is saying is, the word lesbian was never a word meant for us, homosexual females. As radical as this sounds, I think it's a word we should give back.

The word lesbian to me is like the word Christian. There are so many demoninations, still, a Christian is someone who believes Jesus is the Messiah. Lesbian has all these demoninations, still, it is a woman who fancies women.

Homosexual, the word is like homo sapian. It can't be assumed, or mixed, or twisted. It is exclusive by definition.

Word lesbian does not have any of those denotiations, same as word gay. They are appearing only now, mostly from side of transwomen and transmen, who are calling themselves "transbians". And they already twisted word homosexual as well :)

I disagree with the word 'gay' since the word is a slang word which originally meant 'happy' and 'flamborant'.

I agree with you saying those trans are twisting words and meanings with delusion.

I was about to agree you to be on your comment about the womens' liberation and the order lesbian bring made exclusive. This is because I couldn't think of any historical books after 1940's regarding female homosexuality as well as womens' sexual liberation that I have read. That is until I remembered just several months ago I read two books: We Walk Alone and We Too Must Love by Ann Aldrich. The books were written in and about that era of 1960's-1980's, I believe. Even during this era among these newly found women, the word lesbian still had a connotation that included both homosexual and bisexual women, that lesbian means to prefer and not exclude.

Edit: grammar

English is not my first nor second language so I won't make judgements for you completely not understanding my comments to Violet.

I am explaining to Violet the history of the word Lesbian. Just in case you do not know the history of the word.

It is a word that means those who are from the island of Lesbos, a small country the east of Greek. The word in its usage now is not the original meaning of the word. It was stolen due to Sappho herself being from the island of Lesbos.

I was explaining to Violet why I do not like the word. I told her I do not like the word lesbian because

1.) It's a stolen word from a culture not of America

2.) It's a word that historically never meant to be exclusive. Therefore, it's easy to manipulate and twist as Violent has mentioned in her comments.

I, myself, prefer homosexual female because it is a scientific term that explains exactly what I am. The term was also not stolen from a whole other country and culture. And by definition it can not be twisted.

Yes, you can block me.
