Maybe it is for your country but its not for mine.

I am from a really conservative homophobic country in Asia but we don't really have much of this goldstar vs non-goldstar issue here. Because goldstars here are pretty much the nor among lesbians, due to the taboo and stigma against premarital sex, dating and relationship while virginity here is still highly expected for women. Not really, even being from countries like US, doesn't guarantee that lesbians can easily be goldstar there. There are still a lot religious homophobic people there and there is still a lot of pressure for women to date and fuck dudes from the society. In fact, almost all the non-goldstars I met were from "liberal progressive" Western countries. And I think it has to do with the very sex-obsessed culture in USA and other Western nations where premarital sex is rampant, people are expected to be sexually active since early age and sex-positive as in sleeping with anyone, while being a virgin is a sign of failure in life and seen as "loser or prude".

I learnt from another lesbian who is originally from Morocco that gold/platinum stars are pretty much the norm in her country as well due to the taboo against premarital sex which makes it even difficult for women who like men and wanted to date and fuck them to get laid and that she only ever met non-goldstars in Western countries.

Also I heard from another lesbian who is also from North Africa as well (not sure the country) who told me in her nation, there isn't an issue of goldstar vs non-goldstar there as goldstars are pretty much the norm among lesbians there, due to the conservative culture and attitude towards premarital sex and dating.

Also from another lesbian is originally from China that almost every lesbian she knows from there is a platinum star, because the Chinese attitude regarding sex and desire is very different from Westerners. They see being promiscuous/sexually active as "loose" or "bringing shame to the family". In fact, many Chinese wanted to be virgins until marriage.

Well I am in the middle between West and East, so we took the worst from both, lol. Here lesbians were often forced into marriage, at first by law, and later by society. Now I think everything is much better.

And yeah, as I've said, golden star as phrase is new here as well, and mostly used by elitists (not always even lesbians, but bisexual women who never slept with men) to bully the rest. It is slowly going away as well, with raise of gay and lesbian acceptance.

Isn't platinum star is being born through IVF?

That's horrible. So there is much less forced marriage on lesbians in where you live now?

There are bisexual women who never been with males? How common is that phenomenon? I think its pretty rare. So you mean bisexual women are using that term to bully even lesbians? That's so strange to me.

No it means a lesbian who never interacted with a dude in any way whether kissing, dating or fucking him. It was coined to be different from goldstars who have may have kiss or date a guy, but never sleep with or do anything sexual with him.

Yeah, and mostly happening in small villages, or when bullied by surroundings. In bigger cities it is almost never happening, and nowadays our country is the least homophobic from post-USSR countries.

Well, there are febfems. And there are "Virgin until marriage" - I knew at least one such bisexual, so they are sleeping with women only, because to them "sex without penis is not real sex, so they are still virgins". She was claiming to be "gold star lesbian" and was bullying lesbians around, but then jumped into marriage at around age of 25 and said like "I was always waiting for a good man, and wanted to be a virgin for him".

Great to hear that it is much less common now. Is this Ukraine? How common are goldstars among younger lesbians that you met?

What? That's crazy. I never heard of bisexuals claiming to be "goldstar lesbian". Although I do heard of reddit stories, where a supposed "goldstar lesbian" just suddenly wake up one day feeling attracted to a guy and wanted to date or be with him. But I don't know do those ones intentionally lied about being "goldstar" or just didn't know that they are latebloomer bisexuals.

And that's really lesbophobic: the sex without dick is not real sex and make them virgins part.

I think majority. I would be one myself too, if not tried to make conversion therapy on myself, lol.

I actually see such attitude from almost everywhere in the world, mostly from men, but often from straight and bi women too.

Even among those your age range? (sorry I don't know how old you are). Do you think goldstars are more common in where you live (Ukraine?) than in Western countries?

Yes and it seems men are very disgusting and obnoxious with this attitude. Straight women also? Believe it or not, but I also have heard it from so-called "lesbians" as well especially from Tumblr, with this mentality, "goldstars are virgins forever until they die because sex without dick is not actual sex" but I feel they are just self-hating bisexuals ashamed of their sexuality or straight "political lesbians".

Depends on region I'd say. My age should be maybe 50/50, nowadays I don't know, but maybe 90/10. We still have homophobia, but not invasive one, people can joke rude or dont respect you, but most would not touch you or your life. It is a bit worse in small religious villages, tho.

Do you think goldstars are more common in where you live (Ukraine?) than in Western countries?

I have no idea. Depends on country, I guess? I often see posts about USA and that society pressures to lose virginity as fast as possible, but most lesbians who are writing it are gold stars, so I can't really say, lol.

Well, tag "lesbians" is #1 or #2 in the world among men. So seems a lot of men believing that lesbians exist to please them.

Maybe they just too caught in kool-aid and heteronormativity. Especially if they still believe into "virginity is not lost if hymen is there". This is disgusting thing, tho, as it leads with its roots into FGM that is still practiced in some parts of the world, mostly muslim countries, when young girl vulva is sewn up so "no one can rape her" (why not cut penises to rapists instead?!) and then cut during first wedding night, and then men celebrating, while wife is recovering few weeks. It is so disgusting, and it is still staying there with "hymen" virginity and "first wedding night" traditions. Sorry, I think I went somewere too off the topic, lol.
