6/12/2021 I feel like the niche online beliefs they've internalized are actively making them accept themselves lessRead Now The only other lesbian I know has recently changed their name to a gender-neutral one and switched to they/them pronouns. They also bought a binder because they said they don't like others to see their breasts through their clothes, but they have no issue looking at their breasts naked. They talk at length about how much they hate being perceived as female or a woman, and those feelings are seen by others as proof of their innate nonbinary identity, and as something to be validated and encouraged.
They also expressed significant discomfort with 'genital preference' rhetoric many times before, as they're only into vagina, but they also believe lesbians can enjoy sex with men 'just because they feel like it' just like they believe that 'asexuals can have sex even though they don't experience sexual attraction'. I feel like the niche online beliefs they've internalized are actively making them accept themselves less, and I'm worried that they're going to go down the road of an unneeded medical transition in a few years. I'm not 'terfy' at all and I wholeheartedly support genuine transgender people, but encouraging insecurity and self-loathing, as well as trying to redefine lesbians out of existence does not help trans people. I feel really bad for my friend and how their self-hatred and dissociation is being encouraged. I care about them a lot and I wish I could have a honest conversation with them, but I know I would lose their friendship if I did so, and I'd get branded a 'TERF' and shunned by all my LGBT acquaintances.
