Late-blooming lesbians: women can switch sexualities as they mature

[sarkozywasthere]

Women are embracing lesbianism in their thirties, according to research indicating that shifts in sexual orientation may be more widespread than previously thought

i don't think v. woolf's affair with vita should be used to argue that she was a ~heterosexual who became a ~homosexual later in life, as i don't think it appropriate to call women who are married to men but have feelings for women "married lesbians" unless they identify themselves as lesbians. why would divorcing a man and then getting into a relationship with a woman necessarily constitute "[leaving] a heterosexual marriage in favour of a lesbian identity"?

female sexual orientation is less concrete than men’s
FFFFFUUUUUUUUU

exactly. this article seems to really ignore the possibility of women being bisexual, with the exception of the last full paragraph. and even then it came down to "bisexuals deciding to redefine themselves as lesbians" which reads as "bisexuals are just confused about which side they're on" to me...

i had the same reaction. and now i'm on a tirade of "why the hell didn't they do all this research on men? why focus so much on women? jfc."

Because, don't you know? It's hot when chicks make out, duuuurr! But only if they like dick, too.

hahahaha, what the fuck? i love it when articles are written about women like we're some rare, flighty birds or some shit.

the wild lesbian, in her natural habitat, has no internal way cooling her body temperature, due to all the flannel she wears.

true story, my friends and i joked about making fake documentary like that as a way to vent our anger at straight people who analyze the fuck out of LGBT people.

For real. I really hate when people argue for gay rights/marriage because homosexuality is genetic, it's always seems like a way of saying ~they just can't help the way they are, those poor things~.

mte @ the first bit

I know, I think the same things. Whenever people argue against homosexuality saying "IT'S A CHOICE" I just think "does it really matter if it is?"
