lesbo teevee rating scale by @a_ex for The Winter of Our Lesbian Content
Six weeks on HRT(estrogen/t-blockers)! Just wanted to tell u/somebody/the world. P.S. Do u think cis-lesbians would be willing to date a pre-op transgirl? There’s this girl, she knows I’m trans, but I don’t think she notices me much. LUV U and the site.
yay!
i do think that many many cis-lesbians would be more than willing to date a pre-op transgirl, abso-fucking-lutely. i mean there are SOOOOO many other, much more important factors that go into whether you’re compatible with / attracted to a person. like how for a lot of lesbians whether you’re ‘butch’ or 'femme’ is all that matters but then a lot of lesbians hate those words. we’re all special snowflakes. so i can’t speak for all lesbians, but i think when it works with someone, it works. and that’s that. at the end of the day lesbians are girls who like girls and you are a girl, so go forth and conquer the cis lesbians, my friend!
also – does the girl you’re talking about know that you like girls? everyone is always asking us 'how can i tell if this girl is gay’ etc etc so apparently most lesbians are in a constant hot panic around whether or not the girl they like also likes girls. so maybe drop some hints, like 'omg, do you read autostraddle, i LUV it’

i was going to say something that was bothering me, then i realized maybe i should write in my journal, i can express myself more than 255 words. then look back on it when i wish too. maybe everyone should have a journal? EVERYONE BUY A JOURNAL! THEY HELP
yes this! i feel like people will find this more palatable than my usual “everyone just needs therapy” stance. i did this, i decided to make 2011 ‘the year of the notebook’ and so far it is really good for me, i put my feelings in this little book and there is literally no way anyone can find or judge them or tell me they’re wrong. unless i guess they go through my stuff. MOM. jk. seriously it’s great.
If you were wondering what Obama’s decision to stop defending DOMA in court actually means, it’s this.
I am talking to a potential new roommate, and I’m not sure how to tell her I’m gay. Any tips?
my strategy was always to feel really uncomfortable but never say anything because i couldn’t figure out what to say and instead just stare at the wall/floor/book whenever she even, like, took her jacket off even though i wasn’t attracted to her AT ALL. but probably a better thing to do is make it offhand, like “oh and you don’t have to worry about kitchen stuff because i have all these pots and pans that used to be my ex girlfriend’s.” make it up if you have to. let me know how that goes.
i like this girl but think i fucked up, felt she was getting to close so i freaked out. i didn’t want to get hurt if i fell for her, but i guess that’s the way she shows affection.now i want what we had back. whatever we were doing, fucking. what to do?
i think i need to get a stamp that says TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS to use on formspring questions. what i’m saying is you need to talk about your feelings. but to her. that’s the key.
rachel can i wear a black kimono with a red dragon to the white party? i mean, as long as there are thigh-high boots involved, it’s good, right?
yeah def that’s good. if the dragon wasn’t red then it wouldn’t be good but it is so it is. i was going to wear black sweatpants and this black shirt from h&m and headphones so i can listen to the mountain goats instead of kesha and cover my face with my hands all night so no one will notice i’m not wearing makeup. that’s good, right?
Here’s the thing about the Founders: They lived, and were products, of an era with some very specific values. I hear people saying we want to bring those values back, and I really, really don’t. Those values primarily centred around keeping power in the hands of a limited few, in a highly paternalistic society where people genuinely believed that many people lacked the capacity to make decisions, and thus needed to have their lives ordered for them. By white, property-owning men. Whether forcing Christianity on slaves or marrying off sisters without their consent, people were very invested in making decisions for other people, and in making sure that those decisions were never challenged.
