Do you say LGB or Same-Sex?

posted by Roseelesbian in LovingWomen

When I look at LGB Alliance's Twitter feed, I often see people accusing them of biphobia when they only say lesbian and gay. I find that silly. All LGB people experience same-sex attraction and bisexuals are technically homosexual as well, just not exclusively homosexual. So I guess I'm just going to say homosexuals or same-sex attracted from now on. For me personally, I think it's the most clear and concise way to speak the truth in this sea of trans foolery. Plus I also had a TRA srtaight up proudly admit that same-sex rights are transphobic so it'll piss off the TRAs. What language do you like to use?

Really upsetting how the trans cult has poisoned no many words. I groan whenever I see the word LGBT anymore now. I know plenty of people use LGB, but I've honestly grown to hate the whole acronym thing because of all this. I guess when it comes down to it, LGB is united by homosexuality/ same-sex attraction.

It depends on the context of the conversation. If I'm talking about a specific group, I try to use accurate terms. "Gay" for homosexual men, "Lesbian" for homosexual women, and "Bisexual" for bisexual people. Now, if I'm talking in a conversation and want to talk about everyone who experiences SSA, I will use the phrase "same-sex attracted". I may use LGB in order to cut down on the word count, but I'm not particular about it. I just want to mean what I say and say what I mean with as little room for misinterpretation as possible.

o/LovingWomen is a space for women who love, are attracted to, and engage in relationships with other women to connect, thrive, and build genuine community in solidarity with one another.

Along with our rules, you must follow Ovarit’s sitewide rules and guidelines. Circle rules, sitewide rules, and sitewide guidelines will all be enforced by the moderators.

The purpose of this circle is solidarity with one another on the basis of our shared same-sex attraction. It is meant to be a place of unity, understanding, compassion, learning, and, most of all, solidarity. Overgeneralizations about women of another sexuality do not promote solidarity. Generalized statements such as ‘lesbians always do x’ or ‘all bisexuals think y’ are not acceptable. Please refrain from treating groups of women as monoliths or otherwise employing divisive rhetoric.
No participation by people who are not both female and same sex attracted (biological woman attracted to biological women). Users in violation will be banned. This includes posting, commenting, and voting.
This circle is a female-focused space. As such, there is to be no discussion of attraction to men. I know that we currently have no o/BisexualWomen, but this circle is NOT a catchall for bisexual posts until that happens. Those posts belong in o/Women. This is still a circle for same-sex attracted women to talk about their same-sex attraction, and will remain so.
Assume good faith. Please refrain from being preemptively belligerent or defensive.
No criticism of sexual boundaries.
No slurs or pejoratives. Insults, name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other language used specifically to target another user will not be tolerated. Do not use the words 'cis' or 'cisgender' to refer to other women.
No brigading or vote manipulation.
No pornography. NSFW content can be posted, but posts must be marked NSFW.
Gender-critical or trans-critical content must be focused on relationships with women/attraction to women.
No derailing or hijacking. This refers to posting a comment that is unrelated to the topic of the post, which often kills the original discussion.
No attacks, insults, or reciprocation. If you are attacked by another user, use the report button instead of reciprocating. If you reciprocate, you will also be in violation of this rule.
No selfies, spam, or self promotion.
