Okay so this is kind of a two part topic.
1.) What do you think about stereotypes?

2.)What lesbian/gay stereotypes are true for you personally? Which ones do you think are total crap?

I'll go first, yay me biggrin

True:
- Chucks are my favorite shoes, always have been.
-I don't wear make-up unless I'm going somewhere important.
- I love flannel/plaid
-I LOVE Ellen DeGeneres and The L Word
-I adore cats.
-I was a huge tomboy when I was younger
-My hair is indeed short razz
-I'm feminist

Crap:
-I always wear a bra, and I DO shave -_-
- I was never abused as a child
- I do not hate men.
-I dont have "p***s envy"
-I dont listen to KD Lang, The Indigo Girls, or Tegan and Sara (although I do like Melissa Etheridge...)
-I don't like trucks
-I can't put things together or fix things very well
-I don't like Birkenstocks >.<

Thats all I got. Your turnnn biggrin

Honestly, I think stereotypes are complete bullpoopie. It's so rude and crude how people automatically assume certain things of certain people. As for myself...


True
I am a very big tomboy.
I don't like wearing make up. I feel like a dressed up doll.
I have been molested by a male.
I didn't really like playing with Barbies as a kid.
I do fantasize about females.

False
I am NOT p***s-envy.
I do NOT hate men to the point where I can't even touch them. On the contrary, I'm verious curious about why they are how they are,
Being molested has not changed how I view men.


Can't think of much else, lol. razz

Stereotypes are just one's idea of what the supposed majority of a certain group are like. They can be good or bad or non-effectual, but I think that everyone at least partially believes in a few stereotypes.
Stereotypical:
I have an awesome fashion sense
I love Ellen, Kathy Griffin, Lady GaGa, and other public LBGT supporters
I like flowers, nature in general, and animals
^ On that note, I think puppies and kitties are adorable
I don't like sports
I have a ton of girl friends

Non-stereotypical:
Although I have fashion sense, I don't dress very fashionably
I don't have a lisp or especially high-pitched voice
I hate the color pink
I wasn't heavily influenced by homosexuality or sexuality in general as a child
I could kick a** in a fight
I personally dislike the idea of being in a poly-amorous or open relationship
I do not own a skirt, dress, or make-up

False:

I'm NOT a sex addict.
I'm NOT a drug addict.
I'm NOT a smoker.
I'm NOT a drinker.
I do NOT have HIV/AIDS.
I do NOT want to be a hairstylist.
I do NOT have a knack for fashion.
I'm NOT interested in picking your outfit.
I do NOT dress like a woman.
I do NOT have a high-pitched voice.
I'm NOT just "your gay friend."
I do NOT know your gay friend in California, Iowa, or New York.
I do NOT know every single musical.
I do NOT watch Queer as Folk, The L Word, or Rupaul's Drag Race.
I'm NOT in love with Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Cher, or Ellen Degeneres.
I do NOT hate all sports.
I do NOT find muscles 100% attractive.
I do NOT get erections 24/7.
I'm NOT addicted to working out every day.
I'm NOT. ATTRACTED. TO. EVERY. GUY. ON. THIS. EARTH.

Lastly, I do NOT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU, OKAY?
