Lesbian Visibility Week

[Shizuku]

Shout out to my fellow lesbians on this important week!

I will be wearing my lesbian pride badge right next to my trans pride badge for the whole week in all public spaces.

@cakedays

I want to be a man. I mean I don't have any gender dysphoria and I'm actually quite fond of my lady garden, but that's not required nowadays. (I like all my body too, though I don't like the way people stare at it and the fact I have to pluck all the hairs off or people will disapprove, and all the clothes which fit it are uncomfortable and expensive, so on.)

But I want to be able to be paid better, to speak my mind without social censure, to walk about at night without risk of assault. I identify as someone bold, decisive and outspoken, who likes to argue and go to work, and likes male things, like earning money, science, reading the Financial Times, being the breadwinner, driving, doing the household finances, and not deferring to other people's opinions and not having to wear makeup and that kind of thing. I also wouldn't mind being referred to with he/his pronouns just to see what it's like. I'm really delighted to know that all these things make me a man! I look forward to the extra 20% of my salary arriving as soon as I make it known to HR.

@cakedays - I think I love you xxx

hoo' and 'huh'

Welcome to the pleasure dome.

(Niche 80s pop reference).

@Iluvfriends

Fact..... Lesbian = same sex attracted, biological born female.

Anyone born with a penis is male therefore cannot be a lesbian. No matter how many times you say it, it will never be true.

Love you too @Iluvfriends. Was just the point I was trying to find out. To be a Penis or not to be, that IS THE QUESTION.

@GreyhoundG1rl

Hoo hoos! I wonder why it didn't take off?

It sounds like a new family who have moved into In The Night Garden.

I'm well classy me, so I can't see "pleasure dome" without mentally reciting in Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree.

Entirely inappropriate for a lesbian visibility thread.

a bit like a kind of breathy grunt
This is killing me 🤣🤣🤣

Well that did cross my mind 👀

@theThreeofWeevils

I might as well identify as a goat and insist on goat based pronouns like baaa / brrrr / bmm

LostToucan, I fear you are misneopronouning yourself. As a goat, it's thrrrp / thrrp / thrrrps. Very farty, goats.

You’re right. I feel in retrospect that I may have misgenused goats with sheep.

I will be away to reflect on my heinous goat / sheep confusion.

Hang on, I thought no one was allowed to decide someone else's pronouns.

Off you trot to the gulag.

@Scepticaltank

Do you think the pound shop stock all the pronoun remainders?

I could ask. "Have you got any hoo hoos left? Or just/fuck/off if you have run out of hoo hoos?"

It is absolutely mindbendingly ridiculous! How did we get here? More importantly how the fuck do we get back?

Unreasonabubble aw thank you!

I found an article on the 'hu'! That takes me back. Ah to be in 2006 again

grey I am hoping that, like many things, it will go full circle and we will come back to where we started.

🤣

@cakedays - Hu.

May we all live that long 😬

I'm going to live forever, after all I can just self identify as any age I wish.

(Though in reality I am not sure I would want to live forever, but that's another debate for another day.)

Study says not even a third and many of them will only include FTM trans people, so, no.

And yet, we have been told on this thread (albeit NOT by a lesbian) that FTM trans people are not lesbians..... yet, lesbians would consider these people lesbians.

More importantly how the fuck do we get back?

Sunlight.

And lots of it.

@Helleofabore - yet, lesbians would consider these people lesbians.

No then would not!!!!! Having no penis (if that is what they have not) does not constitute a lesbian. There is a way of making love to a lesbian which only another woman can do.

'Hang on, I thought no one was allowed to decide someone else's pronouns.

Trotting, Ma'am. At the double. (Which presumably identifies as 'hell for leather')
But spare LostToucan; theirs was a genuine mistake. (Both eat gardens and are stroppy. Sheep are less agile and thus less likely to ingest the laundry also. But never rule it out)

Sorry, just got to where you can hear the funky bass properly.

Might be getting off-topic. (And we've been doing so well). Are lesbians into funky bass?

Purgatory a fellow lover of verse! I had the same thought!

"I'm well classy me, so I can't see "pleasure dome" without mentally reciting in Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree."

This is to cancel out my gratuitous reference to a male poet.
