● Wanting to be a lesbian but feeling like if you don’t already know you are one you can’t be

● Feeling guilty about wanting to be a lesbian, feeling like you’re just
attention-seeking or trying to be trendy

● You think, or fear, that you might be a lesbian, and you find yourself somewhat constantly/desperately trying to prove to yourself that you’re not

● Suppressing your lesbian dreams because you think exploring that desire would mean you’re a bad/homophobic person using lesbianness selfishly

● Wishing you were a lesbian to escape the discomfort of dating men

● Fantasizing about how much fun it would be to be a lesbian and just be with women/a specific woman, but thinking that can’t be for you

● Worrying that some of your past attraction to men was actually real so you can’t be a lesbian

● Worrying that bc you can’t be 100% sure you’re not attracted to men and can’t be 100% sure you won’t change your mind, you can’t be a lesbian

● Worrying that you only want to be a lesbian because of trauma and that means your lesbianness would be Fake

● Worrying that trauma-induced complications in how you experience sex (e.g., a habit of self-harming via sex w men or a fear of any sex at all) mean you’re not a Real Lesbian
