22 Problems Only Lesbians Can Understand

20. If You're Femme, You're Invisible

Some straight guys may not see lesbianism as a barrier to sex, but they definitely don€™t see it if you€™re femme, or even if you€™re simply not stereotypically butch. Chances are, if you don€™t have a crew cut or have ever worn a skirt, you€™ve been asked to €œprove it€ by numerous people, regardless of their gender or sexuality. Thankfully, once you come out you have to submit your gayness to a board and, when approved, you get a universally recognised Gay ID. It€™s probably a blessing that this is not the case, but it can get awkward when someone you€™ve just snogged asks, €œAre you straight?€, because apparently putting your tongue in a girl€™s mouth is not proof of lesbianism.

Fan of Taylor Swift and the Dead Kennedys (a duet I can only dream of). I like dystopias, slasher films, and video games that make me feel things.
