girls who are exclusively attracted to other girls but are afriad of using the word “lesbian” to describe themselves are valid. it’s a word that has become so synonymous with being dirty or pornographic that using it can be daunting, but it’s okay to take your time before using it as an identifier. youre not dirty for your attraction to girls. you’re not fake for being uncomfortable with saying lesbian. take your time. it’s okay.
