What's the most lesbian thing you did as a kid?

a_blue_bird

Probably building rafts and tree houses with friends.

a_blue_bird

It seems that according to that sub you measure your lesbianism by how much you love dick.

a_blue_bird

More evidence for what I've been believing for a long time - many women claim to be ''gay'' to explain their inability to have a successful relationship with men.

a_blue_bird

You have to be very firm with her. She is using you to mess with her boyfriend. By how she treats him you can judge how she'd treat you if you dated - she'd just cuddle up to some guy she finds hot right in front of you etc. And obviously she is also trying to get sex from you. Honestly, if I had a friend who acted in such a manipulative way (and with multiple people simultaneously), I would cut her off completely.

a_blue_bird

Pretty ironic when a "lesbian" sub talks about dicks more than gay subs.

a_blue_bird

nobody liked you

Lol. Except 99% of population, that thinks the same thing that we do. Not TRAs and Reddit mods obviously. The situation you're in is really quite pathetic. K, gotta go check out what your sweetheart Yaniv is up to today ;)

a_blue_bird

There's just nothing more manly than going to an all male space and begging for them to accept you. Especially because someone online wrote a mean thing to you ;_; Lol.

a_blue_bird

I don't see what is the connection between lesbianism and pussy?

(an approximate quote of what I not long ago read on r/AL)

a_blue_bird

No, it's not.

a_blue_bird

the gaslighting and invalidation will be that much more recognizable to a much wider audience

It could just as well go the opposite direction. LBG gets conflated with T all the time. Transsexuals are frequently seen as just gay. So if they call sexuality a preference, it could be seen by many as LGB admitting that homosexuality really is just a preference.

a_blue_bird

Not all gay men are obsessed with penis.

Sorry guys, but your pathetic little ''genital preference'' has gone too far and is now an ''obsession'' :) Why can't you learn from trans people, who are well known for looking past such irrelevancies as physical appearance and anatomy?

Susie Green herself explains that she initially thought she “had a very sensitive, quite effeminate little boy who was probably gay” but instead argues Jackie’s preference for dolls and dresses was evidence of transgenderism.

Fcking hell.

Susie Green herself claims “I have my daughter, whole and alive, but if I had refused to listen then it’s very likely that I would have a dead son.”

To listen to him... playing with dolls? Which is a clear indication not only of him being a girl, but also of him being on the road to suicide? Those people are completely deluded.

It's a good article tho.

I have moved a lot, therefore so far all my girlfriends have been from other countries. The US, UK, Greece, Sweden, Italy. I think that I related the most with the Swedish one (geographically we're the closest, too). It could have been a good relationship, but we both had to move to different countries at the time. Overall, I'd prefer someone from my native country. I had good experiences, but there always seemed to be some gap between us that couldn't be bridged. Now I'm dating a woman from my own country and don't feel this way about her.

a_blue_bird

Oh come on, we don't actually need to define or understand things before teaching them to kids as the ultimate truth.

a_blue_bird

I am exactly the penis averse cis lesbian of their dream argument and the conversation here has gone completely against what they say it does. There's been some gentle reminders about the language I used but that's it. Everybody in here seems to recognise my position. No witch hunts. No penises have been foisted upon me. Nobody has demanded I service them. Terfs are not seeing the overwhelming majority of trans people describing their lives and experiences. I hope they see it some day.

What even is that thread? She's so obsessed with politics, TERFs and validating MTFs in a thread that supposedly is ''just a random gal asking for personal advice'' that it looks like the ''slutalt'' was specifically created to spread more propaganda.

Also, what the hell is ''the penis averse cis lesbian of their dream''? Does she actually think that it is so extremely rare for a lesbian to dislike male anatomy that we will be falling head over heels upon finding this one very special lesbian who does not like dick? And no honey, nobody will outright force you to do anything, especially not publicly. You will be lead into it by very gentle gaslighting, making you feel like a very special, caring woman who can see past ''evil male patriarchy'' created ideas by sucking dicks. Men are not idiots and know how to talk to different types of women.

Also, I don't care any longer about this type of a woman who rolls herself out like a carpet for others to walk over (or to validate them, or to make them feel good about themselves, or to make herself look better than others and so on, and so on).

a_blue_bird

Because all encounters with the reality makes them feel immediate threat to their sand castle of ''I've been into men my whole life, but I'm a cute uwu lesbian!''

a_blue_bird

They sent a letter to the company noting that the use of “both” implied that gender is strictly binary, and they stressed that bisexual people are sometimes attracted to nonbinary individuals.

Here's a hot take - most people aren't attracted to individuals like this because they're ugly, and not because our sexual orientation isn't ''that very special type of bisexuality where you are attracted to more than 2 genders!''

a_blue_bird

You know all the online stories about someone lying about being cis, purposely hiding things from you to have (awkward) sex, harassing you and calling you a bigot for caring about anatomy instead of ''the soul'' of the person, claiming to be an enlightened bisexual themselves, despite having never shown any interest in the same sex etc.? Yeah, all of that.

a_blue_bird

There's no actual empirical research there, it's just you and those people taking some random data out of nowhere

So according to you, all those studies have been fabricated? Lol. Ok, keep consulting your crystal ball.

a_blue_bird

I don't care about politics (advancing gay rights or whatever) when it comes in conflict with actual empirical research. Also, none of the researchers mentioned in this thread are saying

"oh so a gay man is just a woman on the inside? makes sense now"

a_blue_bird

As Savic and Arver themselves emphasized, “Contrary to the primary hypothesis, no sex-atypical features with signs of ‘feminization’ were detected in the transsexual group

Later I'll try to find the relevant studies, but there are some that have found male pedophiles to have feminized brain structures. Which is a clear indication that ''feminized regions'' in a male brain is not the same thing as a woman having the same type of ''feminized'' regions in her female brain. If ''feminized'' regions in male transsexuals are found, it needs further study to determine what effects they are having, and not simply assumed that oh well, they must be women then, because 1% of their male typical brain is showing some "feminization" (which itself doesn't even mean female-typical).

Edit: I wrote this because it reminded me that AGP males were also found to have some ''feminized'' regions, but different ones than homosexual males did.

a_blue_bird

Do you guys know if there are any scientists that have debunked this "the brains of gay people are structured like the brains of straight people of the opposite sex" idea?

Why are you convinced that this needs ''debunking''? From the studies that I've seen, there are areas of the brain that are more similar to the opposite sex in homosexuals. Obviously we're not speaking of the entire brain, nor exact similarity. I'm leaning to believe that homosexuality is caused by exposure to certain hormone levels in the womb, and there is nothing extraordinary about the same hormone levels affecting the brain more generally than just the regions that determine sexuality. It would seem more extraordinary if the effect was limited to one specific part of the whole organism. I think Blanchard also labelled transsexuality in young gay males/females as ''extreme homosexuality'' or something of the sort.

a_blue_bird

But why stop at genitalia?

That's exactly what I think. Genitals are the biggest anatomical difference between the sexes. Everything else is much more similar, sometimes identical. If you can condition yourself into accepting the biggest difference between the sexes, then you can also accept the smaller ones.

a_blue_bird

when I see commenters (on other subs) make statements about others being okay to have "preferences" for not wanting to be with trans individuals, I'm thinking to myself do they know what a "preference" is & what is orientation?

They know, but they are unable to admit that trans people aren't identical to regular people. To them a transwoman=any other woman, so you not being interested in a transwoman is the same thing as you not being into blonde women (or their favorite comparison - black women, because you must be a racist, too). Which is a matter of preference, not sexual orientation, because blondes are still women.
