Hello all
heart If anyone cared to share, i am curious peoples opinion on those who say they 'chose' to be lesbian. Is that offensive to say or chose?

That makes alot of sense Flickering Hope. In can see why you would say non-supporters would use that to justify there claims. I know female sexuallity is often invalidated and that there is still lack of understanding of womens desires, including lesbian desire.
In the cases of women who have experienced trauma with men and find themselves feeling a longing to become protective toward women and to even imagine what its like to think of a woman romantically or even sexually, what do you feel about that? Is it perhaps a gender or sexual trauma reaction or perhaps a shifting sexuality?
For me personally a counselor I spoke with said I may have developed something of a gender identity disorder because of my trauma. But I dont think only my gender identity was affected as I do find myself desiring closer interactions with women. In my creative writing there have been some bi sexuality that has shown up. But as i write this, maybe it is a part of a gender identity disorder I may have developed because I have other issues with feeling I cant be feminine in this world and in my mind I think id make a nice guy.
Ive become very protective over women and sometimes I forget im a woman too.
