I Am Not A Lesbian!


Guest Matt24

Recommended Posts

well, i told some of my friends, they took it well enough, but they're convinced that i'm a lesbian. i tried telling them[harshly and at a loud volume] that in fact i'm not a lesbian but they refuse to believe me.

they think that since i have "girl parts" i will never be a straight male, i will always be a lesbian in their eyes :banghead: . did anybody have the same problem, or know how i could convince them that i'm straight?

I came out as a lesbian first to my parents and then as trans. They all think I want to be a boy because I am a lesbian. I try to tell them that even if I liked boys I would still feel like a boy :banghead: I hate how gender and orientation are confused. I'm sure they'll understand some day

my SO came out first as lesbian too, than he came out as andro and recently as str8 man. when he was telling that he was lesbian and than andro in our LGBT comunity that was excepted quite ok, i mean no problems... but now when he came out as a man, boy, ftm - now lots of them who were ok before started complicating. they are confused cos they knew him as a girl, with girl name and us as lesbian couple... i also think that for some we are just crazy or wanting to have atention or to be different... <_< but there are some who see him that only now he is in his right place (in his right clothes, role, gender...).

our very good friend who is also ftm (but he is not aware of it yet :) ) is bisexual. and almost all bi or lez girls from our company, don't believe him that he is having a boyfriend or mostly they believe that he is having him cos he is a lesbian and he wants to hide it with dating him... but i'm sure that guy can only be gay ;) . when he is dating girls only this is the real thing for them.

I face the same problem with my father and other family members, I can be gay but I cant be male, or they think that all the behaviors that they have seen me do are the equivalant of that of a gay girl, its hard to get them to tell the differnce esp since they are unwilling to feed in to what they call my dilusion :banghead:

Kia ora Marco, I posted this a while back when another person had struck a similar problem with her friends I have just copied my original reply to her question plus slight alterations...

The term Homosexual when applied to transssexual people can be quite confusing considering the fact

we identity mentally [and in many cases surgically] with what was our opposite sex. If you look at the origin of the word 'homosexual' homos=same-in Greek and 'sexus'-in Latin for sex-one private parts...that's where the confusion sets in surrounding a trans-person's sexual orientation

Some transsexual people are using the terms ANDROPHILIC OR GYNEPHILIC to describe their sexual attraction to others. Andro=man/male philic=love/like one is attracted to men gyne=woman/female philic=love/like one is attracted to women. You could say to your friends "I'm gynephilic it means I am attracted to women the same as an heterosexual man is...I'm not attracted to them because they have the same private parts as me!!

This should impress and educate your somewhat confused friends and give them something to think/talk about !

I really hate it when people call me butch. It drives me crazy. I'm not a butch girl. I'm just a guy. I'v never had any luck with people who knew me as girl really fully acepting me as a guy. I mean I get it, its hard for them, but I really cant stand to be called butch... thats just rude to me....

I know I hate being called a a small levee. I'm not a a small levee I'm a boy. :mad: My paretns and brother think I'm like this because I'm a lesbian. I never really acted like this my whole life and now a year after saying I'm a gay I'm saying I'm a boy. Why would I make something up that causes me so much distress and depression. I hate it. I sometimes wish I liked guys just so people wouldn't think I was making up that I am trans :banghead:

I have this problem as well. Its so annoying because i have all thee people at school call me a a small levee, and i'm just like i'm going out with a boy moron! A lot of people find it really confusing that i'm a guy who likes guys now.

Also, wha does small levee mean when its at home!?

That censor is really annoying. "Small levee"?

My therapist keeps annoying me with references to me being a "girl before". It really bothers me. I'm NOT a girl... hence I can't be a lesbian.

I came out first as bisexual, then as a lesbian, then finally got it all over and done with and explained that I'm a straight male! I was a mixed up kid. Now I kind of disbelieve in sexuality in so far as I think anyone can fall in love with someone regardless of gender and that sexuality is merely determined by hormones and lust. Obviously that doesn't change the fact that you'd have to be female to be lesbian, but still. I think it's something they will get used to over time, to be honest, once they see in you in a heterosexual relationship for example. I found it really uncomfortable with my ex (who had issues with her sexuality) as I knew she was attracted to girls a fair bit, and thought she might view me as female which was why she was with me etc. Now I'm in a more stable relationship but if I'm honest being with someone a fair bit older than me, that has only ever been with men is a lot more of a comfort. In a nutshell, your friends will only come round based on your behaviour with women. Good luck though,

J.

My mate keeps calling me a lesbian...

I have a boyfriend...im not sure about women now cause when i get asked 'you think she's fit?' alls i can think of is 'ew, boobies!-runs away-' lol.

I know how you feel and it's so annoying to me because of my job. I don't try to look female, but I know that there is a fine line on how far I can take my apperence. Of course because I don't wear makeup or wear girly things or talk about relationships...its assumed I must be a lesbian. So then I run across a person every so often with the now famous "gay-dar" and will eventually ask if I am family. I instantly say no, but of course nobody believes me because I just don't fit in unless I am a 30+ tomboy which really does not exsist in the 30s. So IF I trust them, and that can take forever, I will tell them and so far people have been cool about it. I generally pass except for my voice, even when I am not putting an effort in to pass. The biggest problem I have is vacations... I would love to take one and be free to spend time with my girl, but it really gets annoying because I don't have that 100% pass rate and I don't want her labeled as lesbian because she 100% isn't. I won't even go to clubs because of that label. I don't want it or be associated with it. I can't wait for the T so I can have a social life. Having 3-4 firends really sucks when none live near me anymore.

If they call you a lesbian, punch them in the face. If they call you it again, kick them between the legs. It hurts both boys and girls.

Bloody tarts who think they know more about a person than that person knows about themselves. Oyyy!

Guest Mr. Fox

I like your advice, Darrel.

I myself can be of no help Marco. I am not out as trans, and I'm AC/DC anyways. In fact the opposite has happened to me. "I'm a lesbian." "No, you like guys too. You're bi." And I don't protest because they're right. I don't say I'm a lesbian anymore anyway. I am done running away from the stereotype of the bi girl who comes out to attract men (oh, they are abundant at my school), so it doesn't matter anyway. This was a pointless post, but a moment typing is a moment not working on my English paper.

I know a lot of asexuals have this problem, too, because there's no possible way a person wouldn't want sex- clearly it's just trying to hide their true sexuality. And, in this case, there's no way you're really a girl- you just know that you'll never get a girlfriend as a girl. Of course, it's slightly easier to hide asexuality than the fact you're gender doesn't match your body. 'I'm just waiting for marriage before being a girl' doesn't really work here.

Mostly, be patient with them. It's hard to accept something so odd. They look at you, they see a girl's face, a girl's chest, a girl's body, and they can't get "this is a boy" around that. If you get used to someone in one way, finding out something really shocking about them is hard to deal with- even if it's just something otherwise normal- finding out something that to a lot of people isn't normal is worse. You can try to explain it to them if you want them to understand, and they might accept it, but some people just won't.

Aww yes all the titles been said that I can not stand...Butch, Lesbian, a small levee etc...I found my family and friends do not and will not understand. So I just left it alone, though I could not ignore my family...I walked away from my friends. I can not and will not be around anyone that does not accept me for who I am and that is a man!

If they don't like it...well...walk on...if they do not understand it...I will explain it to them...if they still do not understand....walk on...

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
