i’m okay with change and i’m fine if things are no longer the same i embrace change

I do feel like there's a way in which some people who, for whatever reason, cannot understand lesbians will attempt to understand us by projecting themselves and their experiences onto us, and then get upset because they are not lesbians and would not want to live our lives. like instead of being able to imagine a life in which they do not desire relationships with men in any way (romantically, sexually, or even necessarily platonically-- not that we don't have men as friends but that friendship with men is not something that we specifically need to feel happy or complete, like it's whatever, cool if we meet someone chill but not something we necessarily go out of our way to find) they imagine desiring relationships with men but then forsaking these relationships or abstaining from them due to trying to conform to a politic or identity label (<- not what being a lesbian is) and then imagine lesbianism to be a restrictive and harmful identity that limits behavior. it seems like to some there's just this psychological barrier to understanding it as authentic instead of a performative set of rules, and it leads to a lot of weird takes where people think lesbians need to be "reassured" that "it's okay to like men" and it's like.. we know it is, we just don't. like it's not a rulebook, we're not denying ourselves anything, it's just an honest description of our experience. I'm not like constantly suppressing any part of myself or denying myself anything, I'm just vibing.
