Default I feel like I'm "not gay enough"

i'm a lesbian and my cousin in bisexual, and oftentimes she makes comments about how attractive women are and i'm just sort of like "mhmm yeah" without much feeling behind it. i've never really been vocal about what i think is attractive (with anyone at all), and every time this happens she gives me this look like "wow you're definitely not a lesbian" and i dunno it just bothers me a lot but i've always been that way and aah
i just like to keep romance things private and i feel like it cheapens my identity to some
i'm just uncomfortable talking about that stuff
anyone else have that problem? how do handle it?

i'm not vocal about things like that, either. don't let it bother you and there's really no way to handle it other than just let it go. so she gives you a look, that doesn't change anything about you. no one wins a "world's most lesbianic lesbian" award.

I tend not to pant after guys, either. But I'm plenty gay.
