Being a lesbian is a disorder?

Post Reply New Topic

It's just most people like boys to be honest. It's just boys, boys and more boys. There are no lesbians in school, I know I'm the only one. I can see it in people, it's just hormonal girls. I know bi guys in my school exists, but I really don't believe any lesbians do ._.

I wish I could fix my problem of being a lesbian. It is a problem, a weird thing. Most people are not lesbians

I'm a lesbian myself so I think theres something wrong with me. Honestly, I don't think it's normal.

I used to think like you because I went to Catholic school so I was taught that my feelings were 'wrong' or would 'send me to hell'. I broke free of the Catholic church eventually and now, nearly 10 years later, I am comfortable with who I am. I love girls and I am a girl. This is a fact. I haven't chosen to like girls instead of boys. I can understand how you are feeling though because I have been there done it and got the t-shirt! I also didn't know any lesbians at school... or so I thought. One of my closest friends came out recently as well! Like me, the Catholic upbringing was frightening her into hiding. I feel SO MUCH better now that I am being honest with myself.

Kinda funny when you think about it. Catholic schools preaching against homosexuality yet their priests are busy molesting young boys. Oh the irony!

Others said it before me, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a lesbian, it's not something you choose to be.
Being the only lesbian in your school doesn't mean that it's a problem, be yourself and be proud.

You're probably not the only lesbian at your school.

I don't think it's a disorder and I never grasped why homosexuality is a bad thing. Weird? Yes but something wrong with it? No. I don't think it's weird anymore because I got used to it. But my mind still finds it weird. But I guess that is just the heterosexual part of me. I used to think I was bisexual but since I will never have sex with a woman, I'm straight.

Well, one definition of "disorder" is that a disorder is a condition which makes your life worse. So in that sense, your lesbianism is a disorder. But it's only a disorder because of other people's reactions to it.

In a perfect world, it wouldn't be a disorder, but in this world, it is. And because it is a disadvantage for you, it must be "real". Why would you fake something which would make your life worse? So don't ever fall into the trap of thinking that you can be "fixed".

It sounds like you should find an internet forum for lesbians or something. Talk it through with them.

if you push it, even just a little, some lesbians will come out of the woodwork, but most people will not be too happy with it. They don't like to have, what is in their minds, their intact sexuality questioned.

Look, there is nothing wrong with you. You are born the way you are and there is a reason for it. Life has a lesson every day, if you look for it.
The bible is really outdated and the world changes. They are afraid of that change. You can still keep your lifestyle and walk with your higher power.
The lessons taught by the bible, I do not deny it's good intentions and lessons, but you gotta realize you are being oppressed.
The word Catholic means all-accepting, embracing, universal. Are they really living up to their name? Nah.
You can't keep thinking you're weird or have a mental condition. It's just who you are. You can be a good person.
You are not weird. Yes, less common, but that's cause there are people who go years denying who they are and live like society tells them to.
You will never be happy that way.
There are way more lesbians and gays in your school than you think. They are afraid to say anything because of fear of rejection. You know what?
If just one person speaks out, it'll open a pathway for others to walk. Think up those controversial celebrities that have come out. Look how it gave others
the courage to speak up. You should not be ashamed of what you are. I understand your difficult situation, as I am transgender (unaltered) bi-sexual myself.
It's never easy. Is there a way you can leave the school if need be? Religious schools like that don't do anyone any good.
God or whatever you wanna call it will love you as you are as long as you are walking the path of light. Take the lessons that are taught and
bring them with you in your heart. Do not hate them, pity them for their closed-minded ways and fear of what they don't understand.

Not a disorder.

I went to a Catholic school as well (for a while), but I didn't realise how much I liked women until I was older. I repressed it and tried to like men more. It caused more pain than it was worth. I just wanted to be 'normal'. Now I really don't.
