Why can't they just admit that they are straight? As a lesbian I find it so fucking weird that people think it's "cool" to label themselves lesbian and continue to date men, and play make believe like he's a woman.

Because that would just make them another boring straight couple. To paraphrase Paul Mooney "Everyone wants to be queer, but nobody wants to be homosexual". These people are happy to adopt the label to make themselves interesting, knowing full well they'll never have to face any of the actual implications of being gay. They'll never have to not hold hands in certain neighbourhoods, they'll never be at risk of a gay bashing. Because to all outside observers they are very obviously a straight couple.

It annoys me a little that the original meaning of snowflake, not just weak and melting but also the most special, unique individual, got lost.

That's exactly the problem with most queer folx. They can't admit they aren't more special or important than anyone else and that contributes to their fragility.

Because they’ve either never gone to therapy, or they’ve only ever seen quack therapists who enable this, because any psychiatrist worth their salt will always emphasize 2 things: NEVER get caught up in labels, and NEVER look to drugs as a long-term solution for emotional distress.

Straight girls have always liked LARPing as lesbians. They just do it from SJW ideology now, under the guide of being non-binary or whatever.
