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

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

Funny this is here, weird things going on and a lot of repetition but it’s okay

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)

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

[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

si j'avais connu ça au collège peut être que je me serais rendue compte que j'aimais les femmes jsp

Well...

[Ariel · Rating 1 out of 5]

This masterdoc made a lot of bisexual women think they were lesbians, especially due to the parts about being attracted to fictional or unattainable men. It’s a good starting point, but I’ve seen people use this as the end all be all in figuring out their sexuality. Love this in theory, but in actuality it did more harm than good and confused many queer woman, as the author tailors the definition of lesbianism to include men to suit their own attraction/feelings.

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.
