ill love who i love.

This is a carry on post from my last post. 

I'll love who I love. 

So recently I've been experiencing this jarring phenomenon in which I'll express interest in sombody and my straight friends will jump to question my identity. There is no room for them to accept; instant criticism is thrown my way. 

My straight friends know me as a lesbian. I know me as a dyke. As I said in the last post, my dyke identity is just so complex. I couldn't possibly explain it to my straight friends, they wouldn't understand. 

Now, to my point, recently we were talking about actors and youtubers ect. when a trans man came up in conversation. He's well fit by the way. And just through expressing that , I get a bombardment of confusion. 

"Oh so your not a REAL lesbian then?" "Hang on aren't you invalidating his Identity if you call yourself a lesbian?" 

Whatever I could say in that moment would only produce further questions. I know loads of trans mascs and trans men who call themselves dykes, who are still assets in the lesbian/dyke community. But oh my god am I absolutely knackered. I just physically can't be bothered to explain it anymore.
