Arriba las lesbianas, abajo la comphet

[michelle (travelingbooknerds) · Rating 4 out of 5]

while some of the text was a little repetitive and there was a portion about how you can choose to become a lesbian out of nurture born from trauma that i feel a little iffy about, considering the sources listed are all exclusively tumblr links, so is this master doc peer reviewed primary source research? maybe not but wow did it just blow my mind? and really made me rethink where i stand in my journey in queerness. i love the space this masterdoc is able to create and hold within its 31 pages to allow its reader to fully grasp what is being deconstructed before them: comphet or compulsory heterosexuality. reading this was like simultaneously experiencing a flashing projector reel of memories from your life and having your mind’s eye cracked open and pulled ajar. i understand why some points and statements were repeated multiple times because your brain is going a mile a minute while reading ahead that at some points you might find your mind drifting off, lost in thought. i’m so glad this exists because i finally feel a sense of peace i haven’t felt ever before. wild how writing and community can do that. read this if you’re feeling unmoored, full of questions, and curious about the answer to the question posed in the title. even if the answer turns out to be “no,” learning about comphet is a valuable lesson, and this is a wonderful jumping off point to get started on that journey. 4.5 stars <3

mama, im a lesbian

vorab: an sich kann der text eine hilfe darstellen für jene, die ihre sexualität hinterfragen.

finde es aber kritisch, dass die autorin an einigen stellen bisexualität als übergangsphase darstellt. es gibt menschen, die sich zu frauen & männern hingezogen fühlen und das ist keine zwischenstufe.

Reading this a second time after a couple years of identifying as a lesbian, it turns out that i am not a lesbian, just an aroace person with a general dislike for men

Okay the lesbian masterdoc is really sweet and has the validation I needed to hear (or read, whatever).

[rowan · Rating 5 out of 5]

she ra kickstarted my realization that im a lesbian and reading this finished it. life changing would recommend for all sapphics questioning if they're lesbians

[nasti]

so funny that this is a book on goodreads. took me back to 16 year old me! fun
(also i think this should be read critically because in retrospect, i feel like a lot of this can just be applied to being a woman and dating in the patriarchal world regardless of sexuality)

[Marte]

yes..... yes i am

[lillian · Rating 2 out of 5]

[Hannah Ritvo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I didnt know this was on goodreads lol, im not going to rate it cause idk, dont feel like it.

[Becca · Rating 5 out of 5]

yes

[emi · Rating 3 out of 5]

i feel like it is a very superficial/initiating document on compulsive heterosexuality. it isn’t a scientific paper or anything. still, it is a good starting point for a reflective journey of (sexual) identity which with other more insightful literature can be very helpful

[Raquel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hi ha certa crítica al terme lesbiana prq hi ha qui el considera poc inclusiu però em sembla tot el contrari i aquest document, que gairebé tota lesbiana arreu del mon hem llegit) n' és una prova

Well...

[cristal ventura · Rating 5 out of 5]

esta súper bien explicado, entendí a la perfección, me hizo cuestionarme mis relaciones con los hombres muy bien. estos últimos días estuve pensando muchísimo sobre si soy o no lesbiana, y gracias a este documento me di cuenta que estoy más cerca a serlo, no quiero encasillarme pero definitivamente me gustan las mujeres y los hombres no tanto.

3.5
this was a solid read, really thorough and helpful if you're trying to figure out if you're a lesbian. however, i had an issue with a part of the masterdoc that said that not all people are born as their sexuality, and you can just "become" a lesbian through a traumatic experience??? i didn't understand that part and don't believe it to be true. other than that, i didn't have any problems.

It took me a long time to read this document because for some reason I thought it would not apply to me and would make me feel worse about being a "late bloomer" but THIS...


It's very affirming and eye opening and I would recommend it to any woman because I think we can all learn a little something about ehe way we see other women, and why that is.
