What the hell is lesbianism?
Well? Can someone inform me what this "lesbianism" is? -Isms are arts, politics. Not desire/sex/attraction/love. I've never heard of gayism, or straightism/heterosexualism (or homosexualism), have you? My attraction/desire for other women is not art, is not politics. It's not a fucking (haha) -ism!
-Isms are movements, trends, states... descriptives of some sort of social (political/cultural) movement/trend that can be defined by certain characteristics. An -ism is a lot of things, but it's not love/attraction/desire/sex. For while being a lesbian certainly can be caught with a descriptive "characteristic" (that of feeling attraction to other women), it's not political/cultural.
You can't feel a movement/trend for someone. There may be lesbians that are such for political reasons, and that, since they actively choose to have sex/relationships with women, but could also choose and want to have sex/relationships with men, could possibly be termed "lesbianism" since it's part of a conscious political-feminist/social choice.
But me, I didn't choose this for any political-feminist reason. This is what I feel, and my attraction/love/desire/sex is not an -ism. How can it be? I want this "lesbianism" done and over with. Stop describing my attraction/love/sex as a movement/trend/state!
Because it's not. There's no "gayism, and there's no "straightism". Why is there then a "lesbianism"? Shoot it, hang it, kill it, make away with it, for it's not mine.
For all that, use it when it comes to the lesbians that are such for political-feminist reasons, but not/never to describe my love/sex/attraction.
Fucking never.
I am a lesbian, but I don't engage in "lesbianism", for love/attraction are not -isms.
I am a lesbian, and I feel (for you cannot feel a movement/trend). My feelings aren't an -ism.
