This is an article explaining (graphically!) how a lesbian should have sex with a person with a penis. So a man.

www.autostraddle.com/how-to-have-trans-woman-lesbian-sex-with-a-penis-414839/amp/

This is part of a series called Lesbian Sex 101: "Employment of the term “lesbian sex” in this post uses “lesbian” as an adjective to describe sex between two women or people who identify with that experience, regardless of the sexual orientation of the two people involved."

So basically, emphatically not lesbian sex, given that lesbian sex is sex between two biological women who don't have penises.

To my mind this is so revealing.

There are so few lesbians out there. Being female and homosexual is so rare. So why do they present such a problem to men? It makes them look lilke a bunch of passive aggressive incels who take it as a personal affront that a tiny number of women absolutely definitely don't want to sleep with them.

That’s just straight up homophobia, isn’t it?

I’m bi, I like sex with penises and vulvas. Maybe even both at the same time. The sex described in this article sounds joyless, narcissistic and without any consideration for the female participant. Don’t fancy any of that. They need to leave lesbians alone. Lesbian sex works fine without penis involvement.

Lets name this for what it is; homophobic conversion therapy.

I read this article yesterday and I found it very triggering, mainly of my gag reflex.
The thing about lesbian sex for a start is, it doesn’t involve a penis, or a person who has a penis. Why do people with penises find this so hard to understand?
Lesbian erasing trans-activist coercing homophobes, or LETCH maybe? Just off the top of my head like.

The whole website seems a bit bonkers. I'm filing it under the "men tell women how they ought to like having sex..." heading, because the whole thing smacks of a male fantasist so wrapped up in his own view of what sex ought to be like that he can't see other people might do it differently. So there's articles on ass-licking, and articles on how to suck your girlfriend's strap-on (in the literal sense of a dildo in a harness, not some weird euphemistic reference to a trans-identifying male's penis) because after all, why wouldn't you want to make lesbian sex look exactly like heterosexual sex or male homosexual sex? Especially if you were actually a man who thought lesbian sex was really about women putting on a performance in order to be watched by men.

Bonkers.

It isn't a misunderstanding. It is a deliberate attempt to shag lesbians. And to guilt them into sleeping with these penis bearers (previously called men). Nothing new there! Men have been trying to shag lesbians since the dawn of time as they do not like being told no.

I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding, I think it’s a wilful colonisation and erasure of the meaning of the word.

Trans lesbians and their partners can have sex in so many fun ways that do involve their penis and testicles, but don’t necessarily trigger dysphoria.

Well, I'm sure that is a positively thrilling prospect for a lesbian.

Hands up who thinks the author misunderstands what the word lesbian means?

Potplant2 · 11/05/2018 10:30

I read that article yesterday vomit

Apart from it being ALL ABOUT THE MALE it concentrates on how to avoid triggering his dysphoria, the poor thing, while totally ignoring the fact that for many lesbians and other women having to cup a penis and balls IS GOING TO BE TRIGGERING in itself. Cos women don’t matter, of course.

Many of us lesbians have had sexual contact with men and know full well how to give a man pleasure with our hands or mouths. We. Just. Don’t. Want. To.

For some of us that’s because dealing with a penis is triggering and for some of us it’s because we prefer not to. Personally it’s somewhere between the two for me.

Plenty of women do want sex involving penises, so good luck to them. Just stop picking on the tiny minority of us who don’t.

Employment of the term “lesbian sex” in this post uses “lesbian” as an adjective to describe sex between two women or people who identify with that experience, regardless of the sexual orientation of the two people involved."

I bet the men that are so quick to say 'live and let live' will start paying attention when the 'Lesbian' porn they search for features two penises, some five o'clock shadow and precisely zero vaginas. Hmm

Could there be a more mansplainy title than 'how to have lesbian sex with a transwoman'?

Also...
Trans women who haven’t had surgery have a chance of getting their partners pregnant, so keep that in mind.

Hang on, I thought transwomen were actual women, like every other woman. When, in this entire history of womanhood, has one woman got another woman pregnant?
