Comment on I realized why I like friendships with lesbians

I hate to say it, but I think you’re massively overgeneralizing, if not actually stereotyping lesbians. Of course some gay women are going to treat you differently based on their sexual orientation (just like some straight women), but I have a hard time believing most people do this. Myself and the vast majority of the people I know don’t.

It’s because they don’t act and treat me like a man, like a male person, like a sexuality - but that for them I’m 100% a person.

So… What about asexual women? The elderly? Prepubescent? trans women? I bet cis, gay, adult women aren’t the only ones treating you differently. Obviously I don’t know you, but I bet you’re treating women you have no chance of having sex with differently—perhaps subconsciously. I genuinely believe if you woke up tomorrow and forgot that sexual orientation was a thing, you’d treat everyone the same and this difference would disappear. But that’s just my 2 cents…
