The Term “useless Lesbian” May Be A Meme, But It’s Rooted In The Very Real Phenomenon Of Compulsory

The term “useless lesbian” may be a meme, but it’s rooted in the very real phenomenon of compulsory heterosexuality, which causes lesbians to confuse crushes on women with platonic feelings, and confuse platonic feelings for men with romantic interest. So when a lesbian is being “useless” and not taking the hint that her crush likes her back, it’s showing the very real effects that comp het has on women.

watching that video where the director of shazam makes fun of cinemasins is too much

Standing in line with other gay girls yesterday made me realize that, even if I’m super comfortable and open with being gay online and in my mind, I still have a lot of internalized homophobia and shame in me. Every time I heard the word gay or lesbian my brain would think “don’t say that, someone might hear you” and… it’s fucked up. Also, being mostly in the closet and not having a single gay friend doesn’t help at all. Hayley’s music helped me a lot but I will have to work on myself even harder to change that.

how do i stop questioning if i’m attracted to men. i think i’m a lesbian and i really like women and only want to be with them. but i’m constantly going “what if you do like men and you’ve brainwashed yourself into thinking you’re a lesbian.” i constantly test my attraction and i try to imagine myself with men and it makes me feel sick to my stomach. i know it’s easy to say that i’m gay if i’m repulsed by men but for some reason i just can’t accept it. i just want to feel better about myself

It really does sound like you’re a lesbian, but having some difficulty with that. It could be internalized homophobia. We’ve been raised our whole lives in a society that basically forces heterosexual ideology on us, and it can make us doubt our own feelings and comfort.It’s going to take some time. It’s going to take introspection and self-affirmation. You’re not alone; others have gone through this and are currently going through this. My advice is to just mentally and verbally affirm to yourself things like “It’s okay if I don’t like guys.” Just remember: society’s hetero-normative. It can be hard to overcome the way we’ve been conditioned, but it’s possible and you’re more than strong enough to discover who you are, one way or another.
