Insert bad joke here.
“I am more than just a label. Why are people so driven to labeling where we fall on the sexual spectrum? “
Maybe it was the “I am a lesbian” part?
“The Well Of Lonliness”, Radclyffe Hall. She called it “inversion”.
I'd like to find an older one to read it for myself, but I'm growing more convinced the earlier version was likely closer to the truth than where we are now.
To be honest, I don't know, but what I see looks more like adaptations to meeting mental/emotional/physical wants and needs where no acceptable/normal solutions exist, along with the rationalizations necessary to make the adaptations fit acceptably with the rest of one's metal emotional programming and the world.
Our current world seems to now aggressively push these adaptations to us and to children as being acceptably normal, yet "normal" is probably not accurate, as the earlier DSM editions likely described.
Where truth and agenda disagree, truth needs far better lobbyists. Agenda wins every time. "If it feels good, do it."
Now they are told that they must be attracted to the same sex. Once again they believe it.
Politics aside, this woman is doing a service to the growing number of (intentionally) sexually confused young people by speaking out. She’s a walking, talking implosion of quite a few leftist stereotypes. You know she got a lot of flak for it and continues to get a lot of flak. I’d imagine she and Camille Paglia would get on rather well. I wish her every success in her marriage. She chose the right path.
Many women, who are lesbians, were sexually abused as children. It appears that sexual abuse of children plays a large part in their future sexual identity and mental health issues if they don’t get help. And we know that many children who are abused do not tell anyone until they are much older.
You’re correct and it’s odd to see so many conservatives making fun of her because she decided to change her life for the better, no matter what her politics are. We need more testimonies like this in the mainstream so that young people know that the media message isn’t always the right message.
Agreed. We can be our own worst enemies at times.
Ugh!
putting aside the assumptions I had about the form and package my love would come in.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Wel Chirlane finally figured out what a proper package was.
Its OK Chirline, it took you a while but you finally got the right peg in the hole.
