Okay so comphet has been on my mind a lot so time for a thread.
Just in case any of you are feeling uncertain about it, experiencing comphet doesn't make you less of a lesbian.
It doesn't. Even if you are struggling you are still a lesbian and you deserve to feel welcomed and loved as you are.
It's been a journey for me because I dont really know how to process comphet in a healthy way.
"Coping" has usually consisted of me thinking "welp guess I have no choice but to be into men" and then gaslighting myself until I feel disgusting and I realise I didnt have to do that to myself.
Its OKAY NOT TO LIKE MEN. It's FINE AND HEALTHY not to like men.
Comphet affects us in different ways. I'm not going to judge how you process it as long as it doesn't hurt others.
I may not be able to support you through that journey, but I WILL be there on the other side. I dont want anyone to feel alone.
I am posting this thread as much for myself as for others because I'm realizing it needs to BE part of my process.
How I learn best and grow best is through supporting others. It's just how I am. So if you are a lesbian experiencing comphet — or even if you THINK you might be — don't hesitate to reach out.
My tendency is to use twitter as a diary which, like it or not, tends to show all the shitty parts of my process as well as the good ones.
I realise that not everyone is okay with that and for some that is reason enough to leave.
What I'm realizing is that as much as possible, that is not how I operate. I want to be there as much as possible for y'all through it all
And asserting that is part of my process.
I do NOT want anyone to feel completely alone. I do NOT want anyone to feel they cant access kinship.
I do NOT want anyone to feel completely alone. I do NOT want anyone to feel they cant access kinship.
