More reasons Labrys flag is good by HelloMomo in Lesbians

I love the labrys flag.I find it represents our strength and that no matter how we're treated out there,we'll always keep on fighting. Yeah the regular flag is really pretty but this one seems more meaningful.

What's the most lesbian thing you did as a kid? by onetwothree123 in Lesbians

[–]optimistic_dyke 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm very late to the party but here it is ... I used to spend the whole day before and after school at my grand aunties and grandma's house and my favorite time of the day when they would dress up or take a shower, I just followed them until they entered and after (my family is all women, they invaded my showers every day) watched they get dolled up for the afternoon onwards. To not make it weird I would imagine my schoolmates, teachers, and pretty celebrities. Especially teachers, I tried so hard to be every female teacher's pet (some were awful and fucked me over but my crushes were usually pretty and nice)

Also, when I was 10/11 I almost got in real trouble in my English school after me and an older friend started showing up in (tiny,but still) heels and short skirts to class. I did it to make the teacher notice me and compliment me more (she still gave me tons of compliments since day 1, but young me wanted to have her all to myself lol) and when I pretty much flashed her unintentionally she held me after class to talk and was so caring and amazing that I stopped doing that and started to ask "complex" (lol) questions non stop every single class.

Are you child-free? by RedditHatesLesbians in Lesbians

[–]optimistic_dyke 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I have no idea what the future holds since I'm pretty young, but since I have some health issues(EDS) I think it wouldn't be very wise and would put a lot of burden onto my future wife/gf's back. So yep, child-free.

All these "queer" sources are predominantly for trans people by Agodachi in GenderCritical

agree, it's only doing us LGB a disservice

That's why we should either drop the TQ etc crowd from the community or at least get the L (maybe the G too unless they're don't care/help the TRAs) out ourselves.

Were you the weird kid? by RedditHatesLesbians in Lesbians

[–]optimistic_dyke 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah, I relate to that a lot. Since I was a small kid,no matter how much I tried to fit in with so many different groups I never truly belong, and it's an awful feeling since I'm stupidly extroverted by nature.

I still haven't found somewhere I fit in because of my circumstances (spent pretty much all my teenage years with undiagnosed EDS and in isolation, now am 18 trying to be a normal human again so never could get close with other LGB ppl)

Any advice you'll be very appreciated

I feel like our community has gotten right back on its feet. by 11mile_house in Lesbians

[–]optimistic_dyke 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

yeah it does feel like so and damn I'm happy about it. We need to speak up and show we exist both for the baby lesbians and the ones wanting to bring us down.

Stop abbreviating Truelesbians by Anniesworld in Lesbians

agree, I had some trouble finding this so let's make it easier for others. Also,do we use the name True Lesbians by itself, r/truelesbians or both?

r/actuallesbians are super paranoid right now about making sure "No terfs get in here." It's kind of funny by [deleted] in GenderCritical

[–]optimistic_dyke 10 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It is pretty funny, they're so disconnected from reality and what " evil TERFs" think that I don't doubt they're accusing other TIMs of being one of us and harassing them, I don't think anyone there caught up with the fact there's pretty much no real lesbians going there seriously lol Also, imagine having such a peachy life that shit like this is super worrying, dude get a fucking life or an actual hobby

I'm sick of being the only one with these views and feel insane by RedditHatesLesbians in GenderCritical

As an 18 year old in pretty much the same situation, I can't help you out either since I barely can help myself but just hang in there and we will figure this out, hopefully in college stuff will get better and more lesbians have peaked by then.

Oh my, I got so mad at this dude when it showed up on my fyp, like who tf are you to police us. The unfortunate part was the big amount of baby lesbians thanking and supporting him. Surely som of them will make their way here soon.

And they don't even care to hide it... to them we're either bi, awful T*RFs that should be massacred or the all-encompassing queer (that doesn't even mean any actual shit) and I'm pretty done with it. Hopefully someday, with or without a fight, we'll get our rightful places back/ go even further.
