As a woman who struggled with her sexuality all her life until very recently (in terms of figuring it out, I’m still struggling because of homophobia lol), I just want questioning women to know that if you’ve been pondering on it for a long, long, long ass time, and it causes you genuine pain and distress when you tell yourself “I’m not bi/a lesbian”, I’m pretty sure you’re not straight.
A huge part of homophobic manipulation against gay women, is to convince them that their love for women is lesser than their love for men (even when we don’t genuinely have it in the case of lesbians), it’s to find every possible way as to why this or that discounts what is obvious attraction to other women.
If you feel within yourself the words “I want to be bi” or “I want to be a lesbian”; I’m pretty sure you are.
How many straight women do you know that hold enough respect for gay women’s identities that they’re willing to suffer in confusion and loneliness for years?
Which straight woman would want to be bi/a lesbian THAT badly that it causes her genuine pain to think she’s not really one? It’s not like being gay grants us any benefits that straight women would DIE for. Literally the only thing in it for any woman is the opportunity to be with women, so if you’re in pain for thinking you’re straight, you’re in pain because you think you’ll never be able to love and be with other women.
Out bi and lesbian women who’re usually sure of their identities and who live their lives as gay women do also question whether they’re “faking” it or not, and it causes us tremendous distress to feel that maybe we’re fakes! Which is clearly something you share with us.
Those aren’t straight feelings. Stop picking yourself apart so much. The only requirement to be a gay woman is to want to be with women.
Welcome home, my loves.
Out of all my posts that could’ve ended up being reblogged by TERFs…
Anyway, REGARDLESS of your gender assignment at birth, this goes for you. If you’re a trans woman, or you’re thinking you may be a trans woman. Everything I said above applies to you too.
Some girls realize that they’re girls when they realize that the way they love girls is not how men do it, and that is a beautiful, amazing thing.
Some girls have already realized and accepted that they are girls, but comp het is 100% inflicted upon trans women too. Being bi or a lesbian already makes cis women feel like Not Real Women, so it can be so hard for trans women to realize that they may not be straight, when society teaches us that, in its terms, being a woman is intrinsically tied to being exclusively attracted to men and any deviation from that puts you in, at best, a gray area.
If you’re seeing yourself in lesbian/bi women’s literature much more than you ever would in straight or bi men’s, that means something. If you project yourself on gay women characters, it means something.
If you feel heartbroken thinking that you want to be with women in the way women are with other women, but that you can’t be, that’s a sign that you actually CAN be and ARE.
None of these feelings are the feelings of a straight woman OR of a man of any sexuality. Thing like these are women’s experiences; trans lesbian/bi women’s experiences.
This is also your home in spite of what some monsters have to say about it, and the rest of us welcome and love you too.
Hey, guys, if you’re gonna reblog this post, I rather you do it with this addition, since the first one didn’t address trans gay girls the way it should have.
my favorite thing is when ur not talking to a dog and then u just look at them and their tail starts wagging but like. unsure. and then u start talking to them and it gets a little faster and then u get all excited and they get all excited its just wonderful
This post is going to rushed but I’m still shaking and it’s hard to type but I NEED people to know this
My mom just took my dog to the vet
She(my dog) was(still is?) having a seizure
Last month we took my dog to the vet and they told us she had developed diabetes, they told us it was caused by the food she was eating, purina beneful.
They told us that there have been many many many reports of Beneful has been causing diabetes, seizures, and even death in dogs.
We had no idea
We immediately switched her food and put her on a special diet plan for her diabetes, unfortunately the effects were already permeate.
Today at 11:20 my mom woke me up crying, I helped her carry my dog to the car (while she was still having a seizure) and watched her drive away red faced and still crying.
Please please PLEASE if you are feeding your pets Purina beneful PLEASE switch their food ASAP
Beneful is poising dogs and I don’t want anyone else to experience what I just did
Also if you could please help me signal boost this so everyone can know
This would explain why my dog has seizures now…fucking hell
Reblog and save lives of dogs
found out purina was the reason my dog winston had been having seizures and puking. please don’t feed your dog purina.
reblog even if you don’t own a dog or even if you’re not “a dog person” because I can’t even imagine how horribly depressed I would be if this happened to my dog
My last dog ate this for years, and started to have seizures, they got so bad and he got so sick we ended up having to put him down. PLEASE DO NOT feed your dog beneful
Purina and other mainstream dog brands are and have always been garbage. I recommend https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/ for researching dog food brands.
Anyone wanna PayPal me a few bucks to get the back door to my house fixed?
The door got kicked in and it’s letting in rain and cold air and bugs which isn’t great plus we only have a chair holding it closed which isn’t desperately safe.
I’ve been trying to save up to move to a new place but shit like this keeps coming up. It’s really hard to find work in my town as a black person let alone a black trans person and every time I can make money selling things it quickly gets eaten up by helping my family.
Anything helps!
(I also have fb pay and Venmo which I’ll give out privately if people want to send an ask)
I’ve spoken up about this before, and it might seem nitpicky, but it’s the difference that lets people claim that being antisemitic isn’t even about Jews.
Oh wow. I had no clue. If y'all see me do this, call me out please.
“It’s the difference that lets people claim that being antisemitic isn’t even about Jews.”
