i know that finding girls pretty isn& #39;t the same as being attracted to them, but a lot of wlw struggle imagining being in a relationship with a girl due to internalized biphobia or lesbophobia, especially if they& #39;re new to their wlw identity
all our lives we internalize the societal pressure to be in relationships with men, the notion that the only relationships that are valid are those between between a man and a woman, the notion that liking women is temporary and that relationships between women will never last
that doesn& #39;t magically all go away once we realize we& #39;re attracted to women, it often takes a lot of work
i remember when i first realized i like women, my general attitude in the beginning was "i& #39;m only going to come out if it ~becomes an issue~" (meaning, if i start dating a woman) and also "whatever, i& #39;ll just date men"
and it wasn& #39;t until i started opening up to the possibility of maybe dating a woman one day and maybe even settling down with her, that i realized i& #39;m not actually attracted to men at all
for me, it was a case of internalized lesbophobia and comphet, but being unable to picture yourself in a relationship with a woman can happen to all wlw, not just lesbians
i don& #39;t know how to end this thread so here, have a sleepy baby
