'Been recently reading in this sub about how many have been sexually abused got me wondering how it must have very few actual lesbians, meaning actual homosexual women instead of ‘I have a problem with men’ women, in a already very small lesbian forum'.

To clarify further, I was responding to the above point you made in the original post. From my understanding, you read about many people here talking about being sexually abused and are doubting whether these women are actual lesbians?

Like I already said, I agree with the points you were making before this and that being a lesbian is only about being a female homosexual and not a political statement or hating the opposite sex. My point was that women being victim to sexual abuse is so common that its not hard to believe there are many genuine lesbians posting here about their trauma. Its the internet, it gives them sense of anonymity and there aren't many lesbian spaces to begin with. Sexual abuse victims or any other non lesbians that larp as lesbians is ofcourse never justifiable

It is frustrating due to the fakebians there is an environment of constant mistrust and doubt about who is or isn't a lesbian in so called lesbian spaces/real life.

But it works both ways because it's also not hard to believe that many of these victims aren't lesbians given how prevalent sexual assault is too. Given how rare lesbianism seems to be due to how there seems to be many more liars than actual homosexual women I get it. If we were in just small number then people would have a harder time denying lesbianism is real in and of itself but because so many are lying (or lesbophobes) then they have a leg to stand on. That's how bad it is. Hell, if these hurt women whom are just co-opters were so small in number they wouldn't have been able to make it an political movement out of it and paint it as a morally correct choice for women's liberation - as a means to our literal freedom. When I revealed myself to be a misandrist, lesbians here made it seem like I was actually bisexual for the same sentiment. They said lesbians don't hate men, they're just indifferent and to hate men is sus af. So, I'm surprised so many here are pretending not to get it.

You can be a misandrist. But if you talk about nothing but men men men 24/7 you can't blame other lesbians for thinking you are just a political lesbian.

The reason why I tend to be skitty around misandrist lesbians is because hatred is such a strong emotion, it gives men way too much emotional and mental real estate. I'd rather be with a woman who's completely apathetic towards men because discussion of men in almost any context bores me. I don't care if it's talking about how much they suck, they're irrelevant in a lesbian relationship and I'd like to bask in that freedom

I respect this but it'd make more sense if we lived on a planet away from men and their power and violence and the adverse living conditions so many are forced into living, including our friends and families but we don't. If you have the privilege for that to be a non-factor than good for you but I wish this was recognized as a privilege.
