Your hang-up with penises is honestly ridiculous. As a lesbian, a woman who likes women, you will like and date and sleep with trans women just as you will with cis women. Lots of trans women get vaginas, and not all sex involves genitals. Not to mention, you can have a satisfying healthy relationship without all this focus on sex. You need to do a little soul searching here, sweetheart.
My sexuality is innate, natural, and worthy of respect. As a lesbian, I am attracted to other female people, and i will date and sleep with only those with whom I wish to do so. I actively desire the entire female form, and feel no obligation to force myself to sexually tolerate the male one, regardless of surgery. I would like further information on sex that has nothing to do with genitals. Not to mention, I should not have to forgo relationships that I find fulfilling with people I desire simply to please you. I’ve had years of internal struggle that went into coming to terms with my sexuality, and I’ve found peace in the answer I found.
I just need all my followers to see that this is the current reality that lesbians are facing right now in countries that are considered “progressives” when it comes to gay rights. This absolutely disgusting anon wrote this to a 15 years old lesbian, 15 years old !
Tell me that this isn’t a new form of conversion therapy, of - simply - lesbophobia. This person is saying “you will like and date and sleep with trans women just as you will with cis women” to a teenager. First red flag. Second red flag is that they’re saying it to someone who absolutely cannot be attracted to males, whether they identify as men or as trans women, because she’s a lesbian !! She’s exclusively same-sex attracted !! Third red flag is the injonction “you will”. No she won’t, creep, you are pushing straight relationships on ppl who have been told since day one already that they must be “open” to date the opposite sex.
Do ppl forget that now the technic used more and more in conversion “therapy” camps/sessions is one that acknowledge same-sex attraction but that tells homosexuals “but you can ignore that and open yourself to the opposite sex (pushing a fake “bisexuality”) and focus on that potential you have with the opposite sex ? So there is no difference between that technic and what this anon and so many others are doing in the name of inclusivity. Sexual orientations are by nature exclusionary, there is nothing wrong with that. ✨
To all lesbian teens receiving this homophobic crap in their messages (I’ve seen it happen over and over again, to the point where certain young lesbians felt distressed, felt like they’re wrong for being lesbians (only attracted to biological girls/women) and erasing their blog because they were harassed by these so called “activists”) know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Stay strong, you have a whole community with you and we’re not going anywhere. 🌈
I want to reblog this amazing response but I also wanted the post to include this other comment from the notes (courtesy of @demonists) because literally this was my thought too:
