Totally. But when I fancy a woman, I fancy her 🤣 so if a woman tells me she has a crush on another woman, I assume she, like me, is gay/bi. I have zero issue with women admiring women, OR with women fancying women, obviously. But I do find it odd to call it a crush if that’s not what is meant.
When I was a teenager and in my 20s, my friends would often talk about women being hot, about their ‘girl crushes’ etc. So I (somewhere deep inside) rationalised to myself, OK, straight women can fancy women, so my feeling attracted to women doesn’t mean anything... It genuinely kept me closeted to myself. Obviously eventually I figured out that they didn’t actually mean they were sexually attracted to the women they said they had a ‘crush’ on. So it doesn’t really matter that much, but a little part of me wishes people would be precise about what they mean! I admire lots of men, but as a lesbian, I wouldn’t say I had crushes on them, because it would imply I was bi, which I’m not. Anyway, just a little brain dump from a once very confused gay teenager, as you were, we all agree that women are awesome ❤️
