While I think the trans stuff has lowered the lesbian happiness level severely indeed, I think it's also mixed with the fact that, regardless, it always was and still is very hard to be a lesbian, mixed with it's the internet and people who are online all the time tend to be online all the time because...they've got the time..read into that what you will 😆 . A lot of extreme personalities are the ones who use the internet the most often, or so I find, so you're apt to find the "really really sad" and "everything's fantastic!" and generally very unstable personalities online, and I'm not talking about lesbians only at this point. But I know, in terms of lesbianism, that I have had a very rough go at it being gay, and I am young and from a relatively liberal background and was a teen just before trans was a thing, so the archetype of the lonely lesbian I find is not trans-dependent in the real world. Regardless of the current cult, lesbians are at the cross-roads of misogyny and homophobia, and the fact that life is tough regardless of who you are anyway, and then married to the fact that we've got like the smallest dating pool besides trans and the...highly unlikeable people out there.... add it all together, and I find life in this domain (minority sexual orientation) to not be particularly easy. I don't judge the number of lonely lesbians here and elsewhere, because I get it. It's good to have a place to let it out and to be real and not in denial about how life really is sometimes, and occasionally I find the internet to be a good, albeit temporary option.
