[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know, I understand OPs point.  Identifying as gay/bi seems to be pretty common for girls in middle school.  They pressure each other to declare how they identify.  You must pick. I remember having girl crushes in upper el and early middle school.  I’m not bi. In middle school, girls start taking care of their appearance and hygiene, care about their clothes, and are just further through puberty.  Middle school boys on the other hand, often smell like BO, are short and prepubescent, and socially immature.  It’s a no brainer that these boys are not especially appealing to their same age girl classmates.  But that didn’t used to mean you were bi/gay if you are into boys at 11. Now girls are made to think they are unless they feel very strongly otherwise.

I don’t think this is benign either (declaring very young).  It can leave girls in uncomfortable situations during sleepovers or even when hanging out in bedrooms he such.  Sexual exploration when you are too young and/or with the same gender if that ultimately isn’t where you identify can be confusing and emotionally damaging. [/quote]

Straight girls/women do not have crushes on other girls/women[/quote]

I guess you don’t believe in fluidity. [/quote]

If you are sexually fluid, you are not straight. That's not the way that works. Everyone always thinks everyone is just like them but no. Straight people never fall in love or get crushes on people of the same gender. That's why they're straight. They're only attracted to the opposite. You can define it as fluid or bisexual or whatever. Even call yourself straight if you want but you're not like the other straight people. [/quote]

Huh? Same-gender crushes are extremely common for people who call themselves straight. [/quote]

So is "straight men" giving blowjobs. You're welcome to call yourself heteroflexible or straight or whatever you want. But actual straight people don't do these things. They're all just variations of bisexuality. [/quote]

Oh ffs stop policing people’s gender identity.  If people say they’re straight, they’re straight.  Regardless of if someone else with similar preferences and experience might call themselves bi or pan or queer or whatever.[/quote]

Honestly it’s getting to the point where all these words are meaningless. [/quote]

People complain that it's too granulated. Too many micro-identities. Then we have people claiming that "words are meaningless". Words aren't meaningless. People have microlabels and identities because they help people pinpoint what they identify as. Again, you can claim you're a straight woman that gets crushes or has sexual attraction towards other women if you'd like but ACTUAL straight women don't experience that. Words do have meanings and you're trying to redefine straight to be a meaningless word, not me. This sounds like internalized biphobia.[/quote]
