    I feel like a failed woman. I have no sisterhood-the femininity that came naturally for my peers was something I had to perform. Eventually I realized that most women actually enjoy being women. And I don’t. So I decided to leave expectations behind and be who I want to be. I resent being a woman, and I feel terribly estranged from womanhood. These wounds are still very fresh, but I know they will heal with time. My female socialization, although painful, is a part of who I am, and no one can take it away from me. I love women, and I can relate to 70’s lesbians rejection of the gender binary. Therefore, I identify as a (butch) lesbian. I also identify as nonbinary. Maybe that will change, I don’t know. I’m still young. But I know who I am right now, and I finally love myself for the first time.

    I always growing up understood that there were Gay Men and Gay Women.. meaning to me that they were attracted to the same sex ONLY... then non binary was men attracted to both sexes and women attracted to both sexes. We called it 'swinging both ways" How wrong I was its seems in todays world - its all very confusing now. I saw Lesbian as a term that homosexual MEN - Gay men forced onto women to exclude them from the term Gay as it was more pleasant a word than homosexual and they wanted the 'happy positive GAY word terminology for themselves". Also a word for them that excluded women because they really did not like women or being associated under the same 'banner' of Gay with women who liked women. Meaning they wished to own Gay almost a misogyny ownership of the word Gay and women must have Lesbian. I prefer my ignorance version because its simple to me .. men who like only men, women who like only women and gay swingers who go both ways.... all Gay and happy with whom they find attraction to and they only seeking relations with those that feel the same and not forcing themselves on those that do not.... forced understanding or acceptance is impossible and leads to no understanding, adversarial views and aggression.

      Hi Shanti. I was an active lesbian feminist in the 1970s and a reporter for the gay and lesbian press from the 1970s-2018. The addition of "lesbian" was actually insisted on by lesbians in the 70s and 80s. This was due less to gay men excluding them (though there was misogyny) than it was to lesbian pride. This played out in the U.S. in the gay press, pride events and the marches on Washington. The first national march took place in October 1979 and at the insistence of lesbian committee members was titled the March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. It was lesbians who insisted that their distinct identity be recognized through these institutions and events. There was some resentment of this lesbian assertiveness. There was a grudging resistance on the part of gay publishers, for example, who had to rebrand and redesign mastheads, first adding lesbian, then bisexual, then transgender to be inclusive. So here we are 50 years later with our alphabet soup of queer identities. You could blame it on those *#@* lesbians! ;-)

    I don't think it's just that generation being empowered by the word. I respect them greatly for what they fought for and went through. I found myself to have somewhat mirror them in my own experience as a same sex attracted women. I had alot of self hatred and disgust towards the word lesbian and not only that but internalized misogyny I had been carrying with me and it took me years to accept who I am and then even more time to accept the word lesbian to define me. When I accepted lesbian as a label for myself it was in itself a liberation. I accepted who I was fully and rejected the negative connotations and idea surrounding the word. I find myself being very defensive over the word because it directly tied to my identity/experience as a women. I rejected my feminity because of the projection society gave me just like I rejected the word lesbian. I always felt boyish and never fit in with girls which made me push feminity away further but I am proud to be a women despite most of my life hating who I was. I believed the only way to be a "decent" lesbian was to be the lesbian that society said was pretty and acceptable. So much of my life and identity has been shrouded in misogyny and a unpleasant projection of feminity which is barely tolerated. I'm finally proud to be a women and a lesbian. I can't help but feel so many other girls my age fail to self reflect and dig deeper into themselves and use other labels to identify out of something instead of accepting it/themselves in the process.

    LGB and T are totally different. LGB is a sex-based sexual orientation based on material reality but T is an ideological construct based on the incoherent 'gender identity' (no material reality) and reifies old stereotypes. The T was force-teamed onto the LGB in order to gain greater acceptance but LGB has nothing in common w/ T or any of the other alphabet soup.

  • @lennymclean.
    @lennymclean. 2 года назад

    This was so interesting, thank you. The ideas that gay people came up with that they had the opposite sexed soul inside them is pretty chilling, because the modern idea of a gender identity is also like a sexed soul - or gendered soul, as you know the two terms were conversationally used interchangeably until very recently in history... I say chilling, because the implications of this are that transgenderism is frequently criticised for being the new form of gay conversion therapy - in some countries where it's illegal to be gay, you can get a free sex-change quicker than a boob job... Also, you must have seen the recent progression of events with Stonewall, especially that concerning female lesbian women and the assertions that male bodied trans women could now be lesbians and that if a female bodied lesbian woman refused to have these people in her dating pool, she would be transphobic... And then there was the formation of the LGB alliance out of concern for LGB people since certainly the L and and the female B portions of this group of people felt that their interests were not being served by Stonewall any more, because of their serving the wants of the male-bodied T people above and beyond all others... I have heard further testimony to this from a great number of female lesbians now and also a new group of people known as detransitioners, many of whom are lesbian women and who are ex-transmen, who tell very similar tales of being told by trans women to shut up because of their supposed "male privilege" and it all sounded a bit like straight men bullying the women who refused to consider having sex with them, namely lesbian women, which is totally outrageous and a sure sign that there is a deeply unhealthy set of individuals who would fall under the identity of trans-women who are essentially male bodied, heterosexuals - who Blanchard would consider Autogynephiles. So that means you have gays and lesbians presenting as the opposite sex and having hormones and surgeries to further this process who are then announcing they are straight (trans'd the gay away) and a group of women-hating, woman-parodying straight men with paraphilic fetishes who are announcing they are lesbians and then trying to order actual lesbians to sleep with them!! Chilling indeed, dont you think?

      Some of the ideas you are expressing here are often called Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism, or TERF. I recommend the creator Jessie J for some thoughtful and kind videos on why these ideas are flawed and harmful- the one about JK Rowling comes to mind. I think that your concerns about how homophobia can force people into situations that harm them are valid, but fears of men "pretending to be women" are unfounded and harmful. We should also keep in mind that describing oneself as having a different gendered soul back then might not actually mean that all gay folks would have transitioned today- language and models of gender and sexuality were simply very limited. Gay folks and trans folks are not at all the same, and we are blessed to have the language and knowledge to understand and live as our authentic selves in this time. Being able to transition absolutely saves lives, and people in general would not choose to deal with transphobia unless transitioning was very important to their happiness. In order to preserve our rights, it is important people understand that trans people are not predators, confused, or lying. Despite the actions of a few morally wrong trans people, who do not represent the rest of us. Thank you for reading, and I hope you might consider learning more about trans issues and history.

    Interesting video. I was transfixed by your energy and delivery and found myself having to watch the whole video 😛 I honestly cannot figure out why it's become so awful and horrendous to acknowledge one's birth sex - one's literal, original physical anatomy. A non-binary person has a body. And that body in well over 99% of human beings is male or female. Biologists use the terms "male" and "female" to denote the small gamete and large gamete producers of all anasogamous systems. It's nothing to get riled up about. It's just life doing what it does. "Same sex attraction" is just that - being attracted to the same _sex_ . So if your body is female and you are attracted to other natal females, you can still think of yourself as lesbian even if you think of yourself as non-binary. Ultimately, non-binary is a conceptual distinction, anyway. It's there I guess to help people feel more comfortable with the way they relate to society's gender norms on a psychological level. Some people don't mind all that so much and they're just gender non-conforming, or maybe they don't think about any of it at all. I don't believe there's any _actual_ distinction beyond the concept. For example, if you think about what it means to be "transgender", originally it relates to sexual anatomy. Because gender dysphoria is initially triggered by someone feeling they're "in the wrong body" as it pertains to their sexual anatomy. As if nature gave them the "wrong parts", so to speak. Especially these days with so-called "trans kids", there is a virtual obsession with getting kids access to puberty blockers, HRT, and SRS in order to get their BODIES to look like that of the opposite sex. And those things are considered absolutely essential in order to avoid suicidality in kids and teens. So the emphasis is on aligning the sexual anatomy with the internal sense of gender. So apparently gender and sex ARE the same thing or it wouldn't be necessary to align them in this way. There would be no incongruance between the two that one needed to "fix" with all of this modern medical technology. People could just be whatever gender and whatever sex without needing to change anything. But then we come to the "non-binary" distinction. There is no physical anatomy that relates to non-binary. There is no non-binary "sex" that aligns with the non-binary gender (in the human species anyway - and people with DSDs are not "in between" sexes, that's a complete misunderstanding due to the misnomer "intersex"). Nothing to "transition" to. So a person with a female body who is same sex attracted but identifies as non-binary can still be a lesbian. I mean, I respect pronouns myself but when I see people I don't know, I instinctively read their sex because I'm an animal and animals are hardwired to reproduce. That's what life does afterall. So we are unconsciously embedded with the instinct to read the sex of other human animals. So, someone can tell me they're non-binary and I respect that but I will always _see_ a male or female standing there in front of me. I mean, there's no non-binary sex for that instinctual sex reader to read. So I can't make my unconscious brain see something that doesn't exist.

      People aren’t attracted to genetic sex, they are attracted to appearance and behavior. Genetic sex can’t be known without genetic testing, which didn’t exist for the vast majority of human history.

      @@montithered4741 That may be true but neither of those things exist separately, they are all definitely related also to genetic sex. And at the population level, most of us really match our sex, genetically speaking (chromosomes etc). A straight woman may be really attracted to muscles and short hair and someone that's tall. But if she is attracted to men, adult human males, she is not going to find these attributes attractive on a woman.... because she is not attracted to women, she is not attracted to adult human females. This goes a little bit deeper than just appearance, I believe.

      @@jassminyoung2605 People are not attracted to groups, they are attracted to individuals. Genetic sex does not determine gender identity, gender expression, orientation, sexuality, preferences, or attraction. Additionally, gender expression, orientation, sexuality, preferences, or attraction can change based on circumstances, context, time, age, location, clothing, etc. However, these are still based only on appearance and behavior, not genetic sex or gender identity because neither genetic sex nor gender identity can be known based only on appearance and behavior.
