I am trying so incredible hard not to respond to this, but I am going to...

You struggle every day trying to be a good lesbian? What is a " good lesbian"? Would it not be more rewarding to strive to be a good person? Is sexuality not merely a part of who you are? Obviously an important part, but does it define you?

I love women too, and I identify as lesbian, yet, I am struggeling with understanding what you are trying to convey by your posts...

Am I missing the point?
 
yes there are!

Hi I am new here and found this thread! Count me in as one of the outed! Anne
 
I surrendered my lesbian card a long time ago....I fell in love with a boy...who likes both boys and girls....and now, I'm crazy about him. Hell, I even gave up the booty, which is something I once swore I'd never do.
Isn't love grand ?
 
When labels are used as shorthand, without having to think, then they are bad.

However, when they are used as a badge of pride, or courage...that is something good.
 
whOOHOoohoo ~

i also think of myself as queer.

I have been lurking here for awhile, i am a lesbian, have always been, always will. Am i correct in my assumption that everyone is bisexual. And what is the deal with this Chun-gong character, is she role-playing? What about the womon she was supposedly involved with ? I am getting a little confuse here.------Irene

I think everyone is in truth bi-natured, what is your definition of a "true" lesbian, TW? Can we go from there in this discussion?

I disagree. While many feel, and sometimes act, on attractions to same/other genders, quite a few of us don't. Call it biological, chemical, or psychological -- the idea just doesn't entertain.

Now, if you're talking about being attracted to the masculine or feminine aspects of a person non specific to gender, there might be some truth to that. But attitude and physicality are only separable to a certain degree.

I am sorry i was honest, i forgot i was in la-la land. I really don't belong on this site.This is cyberworld not reality, nothing is real here. I am just a black lesbian femme who believes in wimminspirit and wimmin only space. I am very ashamed for lurking on this site, for wasting my time. There is nothing i can learn here. And i will continue to spell womon the feminist way!------Irene


This is not "wimmin" space, so if that is what you are seeking, perhaps you are correct that you don't belong here.

This forum is open to anyone.
 
Labels can suck sometimes. I ain't striaght. I've jumped men. Now I'm quite fond of women and have no desire for cock. So, someone else try and figure out what that makes me, if they want to. I just know I'm happy, and that's all that matters to me. *shrugs*

Well, at least you realize you were being a bitch. It was directed to ALL the women on this board, though, not just chun-gong. Everybody here knows I am usually unfailingly nice, but I also don't mind calling people out. A lot of the implications you made were downright bullshit - I don't even know where to begin. This thread ticks me off in a lot of ways, let's just leave it at that. http://www.amanita.net/images/smilies/arg.gif
 
What is a “true” lesbian?

I think of myself as a lesbian. But I was married to a male. I think I was trying to be straight, or at least thinking I was bi. The marriage didn’t work for reasons beyond sex. Since my divorce I have felt like a lesbian. I think during my marriage I would have called myself bi.
I have no interest in having sex with males, except maybe with Paul Newman…lol
I had several sexual relationships with women when in college. Was I a lesbian then?

I wonder if being a lesbian, or bi, or straight, is just a state of mind. If you feel like a lesbian call yourself a lesbian, does that make you a lesbian. I currently have a girlfriend, that we started a relationship with a short time ago. I wonder was I a lesbian before I was with her?

Labels tend to be pretty tricky. I am not concerned too much with what people call me. I suppose to some I am bi, others just promiscuous, oh well..
 
Please enough

Let it die i said i was sorry......................So i am a bitch so what , let it DIE

This is a discussion board. People come here to discuss things. One of those things is "what is a 'true' lesbian?" If this thread keeps going, it isn't necessarily directed at you - we're just chatting about it. So don't worry so much. :)

Yep yep! Very well said.

I think some good come out of this. It made me think. What is a lesbian? That was not a rhetorical question. I would love to see a thread that would give us pause for thought.

What makes a lesbian? I have a young friend that has yet to have a sexual relationship with a woman, or a man, she is a virgin. She believe she is a lesbian. Her sexual yearnings are for women. Yet she has been told that she can't be a lesbian until she has sex with a woman. Pretty silly huh.

I guess I think about this more than I should, but what makes a lesbian? I think it is a state of mind. But I would welcome an open discussion.
