    Once my mama asked me "Are you 'choosing to be gay' because you don't think girls will like you?!?!?!!!..."


    Has anyone ever asked you a dumb question about your gender or/and sexuality??


    This is one of the many silly foolish questions that I have been asked about my gender and sexuality, this one just stands out to me because my own mother asked me this.......




    I can't be alone in this.

    No but I've been told I didn't try hard enough to like guys and I should try harder . I've also been called confused .
    But I have heard my parents and other people say lesbians are women that can't get a man .

    Not precisely that, but yeah, plenty of times. People do tend to be stupid.

    "Why do you want to dress like a man? Because you are gay?"

    Plenty.

    I like the "chop chop" motion people do when they want to ask about surgery but don't know how to say it respectfully.

    The second friend i came out to asked 'so does that mean you would suck my dick?' I almost slapped him XD

    But why do people think gay people would sleep with any of same sex?? Like we still have people we find attractive and peple we dont

    Oh wait I just remembered I did get one how could I have forgotten Yes it was from my two friends one bi and the other straight
    "Have you ever had sex with a guy ? "
    my answer " No "
    "Then how do you know your a lesbian ?"
    Me " I only like and get crushes on girls and don't notice guys at all "
    " that doesn't count you need to have sex with a couple of guys then I'll think Your a lesbian " from straight friend .
    So I guess for my straight friend to believe me I have to whore myself out to a bunch of guys

    bi friend " I can see that , but like how can you be sure and you hadn't had a penis in you ? " Guess I have to whore myself out for my bi friend to believe me too but she's starting to believe me so it's ok .

    For the few people I'm out to, I can't remember any stupid questions. Just from-the-hip judgments that were completely groundless.

    I've been told that I can't be a lesbian because I'm "pretty."
    I've also been told that I can't be a lesbian because lesbians are women who "can't find a man", and I've been hit on by so many men, I've lost count. If I wasn't homeschooled, I might have gotten a few stalkers... :eek:

    I'm very shy and soft spoken, but I get really moody at times too, like Fluttershy from MLP FiM. I guess straight dudes dig that. :lol:

    My dad asked me if I was a lesbian before I even got the chance to tell him, he said, "You don't have a boyfriend even though you're so pretty, are you gay?" I didn't want to come out to him until I got a girlfriend (which won't be until my 20's), but he kept asking me until I admited it.

    I heard if a straight men tells you you can't be a lesbian because you've never had sex with a guy, you can say, "Well, how do you know you're straight if you've never sleept with a man?"
    I'm pretty sure that'll make them shut up. :grin:

    Oh oh oh, I have a HUGE list for you.

    "So who's the man and the woman in your relationship?"
    "How do you know if you're gay if you've never been with a guy?"
    "Can I watch?"
    "Will you sleep with my girlfriend?" (NO)
    More of a statement: "I'm pretty sure my dick can turn you straight."
    "If you're a lesbian does that mean you'll experiment with me?" (No, fuck off)
    "How do you have sex?"
    "You know it doesn't count as real sex, right?" (Don't be jealous because I can have more orgasms than you, straight lady)
    "If you were to get married, who would wear the suit?"
    "Do lesbians scissor?"
    "If you're a lesbian does that mean you wear men's underwear?" (....What)
    "Does that mean you hate men?" (Nope)
    "Were you abused as a child?"

    When one of my aunts found out i was trans she said "but you like guys so why don't you just stay a girl, wouldn't that be easier? Or trying to explain trans stuff to my sister and showing her pictures of transguys after hormone treatment to show her the changes and she says "wow hes hot! ..wait does that make me gay!? Or telling my grandad im trans, after explaining everything he says "does this mean you are one of those girls that likes girls? sometimes you just have to laugh at these things :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I felt so hurt when my friends said that to me you know I was thinking why can't anyone believe me when I say I'm a lesbian just because I'm femme doesn't mean I can't be gay .
