I get this is funny, but like... As a lesbian who's been told repeatedly she just hasn't met the right guy, this is kinda. Uncomfortable?

As an ace lesbian....yeah, agreed. :/

Ia. I grew up not knowing asexuality was a thing and for so long thought there was something wrong with me and I just needed to push myself, try harder to see and feel like everybody else. It's not only offensive but also hurtful to have people invalidate the identity I fought to figure out and find peace in by insisting I'll change my mind with time/for the right person (and has happened too many times for me to be able to shrug it off as an isolated incident).

I don't care whether OP actually thinks this or is trolling and just erases others' identities for fun. Either way OP is poison and I hope they have a hangnail and step on two legos a day until they become a better person.

I too am offended by this completely harmless joke on a fandom group. >:(

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm also ace, and I did have a bit of a "kay but that's not how it works" reaction to this secret, at first. But I don't think OP actually believes that is how it works, in real life.

I think this is one of those things that's just meant to be an amusing idea, and is not worth reading into or getting defensive over. Not saying you can't be defensive over it. Just, imo, it's not worth it.

I too am asexual. I fully accept the headcanon and get a huge kick out of it. I am also low key sexually attracted to bearded steve rogers. He is the exception to every rule.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Same same :-)

(Anonymous) 2019-04-15 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah no go fuck yourself. A lesbian is not going to be attracted to a guy. Take your headcanon and shove it where the sun don't shine. I'm sick of my sexuality being invalidated.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-15 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
DA
You are joking, right?

(Anonymous) 2019-04-15 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
why would anon be joking? society is so heterosexual minded that if people keep saying that lesbians can be attracted to guys then straight people will flat out dismiss lesbians' same sex attraction by saying that they should all stop move on from their ~lesbian phase~ because obviously they're attracted to guys deep down! because it's in a woman's nature to be attracted to a man! blah blah bullshitty blah

(Anonymous) 2019-04-15 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Uhh... because this entire secret is just for fun? And the anon they're responding to is completely innocent to all that's being accused of them? Because maybe they're overreacting in way that makes them seem sarcastic?
I mean, no offense, but literally nobody is saying lesbianism/any sexuality is 'just a phase' or are they trying to dismiss anything. I get why people are upset I guess, I'm asexual myself, but it seems to me that a lot of people are vying for an argument that just isn't here nor there...

(Anonymous) 2019-04-17 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Same

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
As a lesbian who is open minded to the idea of guys... it's more that Steve Rogers is a hard pass for me. Lol

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm ace and Steve is GORGEOUS, but he's not who I'd "go straight for" ("go allo for"?) if I was gonna.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough!

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
How... Does that make you lesbian... Lesbian is "attracted exclusively to girls."

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
My track record goes all women and while I've occasionally thought guys were cute, I've gotten way turned off when it comes to actual sex stuff. But I don't want to box myself with labels, who knows, maybe the right guy will come along, and I admit some men are pretty cute!

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The thing about labels and definitions is that they're inevitably going to be abstractions from a more complex reality. No label is ever really universally true for every human being who's ever lived; rather, they're things that we come up with because they're useful, because they allow us to get a handle on things and talk about them usefully. So it usually makes more sense to focus on whether a term or a label or a definition is useful and valid, rather than insisting on an abstract, formal definition, where - for example - someone who's a 5 on the Kinsey scale "isn't allowed" to call themselves a lesbian.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well-put.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-15 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Then call it fucking bi with a heavy lean towards women. I swear, people are afraid of being called bisexual.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-14 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I might consider it just for the "service to your country" puns, but 1) that joke doesn't work if you're not a Yank and 2) it's probably not a good enough reason for someone who takes these things more seriously than I do.

(Anonymous) 2019-04-15 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"international relations"?

(Anonymous) 2019-04-15 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Him?
