It bothers me when characters say they're lesbians and start falling in love with guys. In fact, it annoys me when "lesbians" irl do this too. Why can't they just say they're bi with a preference for women?

[(Anonymous)]

It's one thing if there's a guy or two in their post coming out history, or if they happen to fall for a guy after being only into women post coming out, and they don't want to change their label right away until they see where it goes. It gets confusing if they then marry that guy, or actively pursue and crush on guys all the time. Yeah, no one can define anyone's sexuality but their own, but mixing lesbian and bisexual like that is making those labels totally non functional. Maybe that's the point? IDK.

someone switched my bisexual label with campbells tomato soup and now i sit in the microwave, waiting in vain for love


:(

[mutantjules.livejournal.com]

man, I'd SO love it if more people were comfortable with a bisexual label, but studies as far back as the 40's put a scale on it, where there are varying degrees even for people who comfortably call themselves gay or straight.

[(Anonymous)]

The Kinsey scale? I think that scale was looking at encounters, not necessarily preferences. Everyone's going to be having more het sex back then, just through social pressure and many not even knowing that homo sex was a thing.


If you use the scale to talk about preferences, it still makes sense for those next to the ends to call themselves gay or straight. Why define yourself by that one het or homo experience in college? Or having a crush on a celebrity? But yeah, on a scale of 0 - 6, 2,3,4 are all very much bi, even if 2 and 4 lean.

Why can't they just say they're bi with a preference for women?

IDK, couldn't possibly have anything to do with not having to defend your existence at length to biphobic identity-policing shitstains. Or with not getting sexually harassed/assaulted by douchebags who think that if you've ever looked upon a cock without revulsion you're obligated to give their cock a chance, preferably after providing some Hawt Girl-On-Girl Action.

In a reasonably comfortable environment, yeah, I default to "queer" as a catchall and will happily specify "into ladies overall, will occasionally kiss pretty boys." But if my safety's at stake or it's really not the moment for elaborate heart-to-heart explanations and "lesbian" is the concept that will penetrate someone's thick skull, gosh, I'm so sorry for not worrying about whether 90% precision is enough to satisfy the Gay Police.
