All you need to know for future reference so you don't go bitching about us.

1. We turn the straight females into bisexuals/lesbians.

What a load of shit, first off, if we could do that, all the good looking women would be lesbians! and that's a fact. Obviously there are women out there who've always believed they were straight, until they met the right woman, and then those hidden feelings are brought to the surface.

2. We hate men

Firstly, I have to laugh at some of this shit, I mean come on, if anything, men hate us for stealing their women, which technically we can't steal gay women from them because they never were theirs. =D Anyway, I personally happen to get on well with men, I have no problem with most of them, though admittedly some of them are just assholes. I'm only speaking for myself, not for every lesbian on the planet, although I'm sure the ones who do hate men have their reasons.
Just because we don't want relationships or want to be sexually involved with men doesn't mean we hate them, it just means we don't have those inner feelings to be able to do that as we do with other women. Guys, don't take offense.
I've also heard my STRAIGHT friends more often than any lesbian I know complain about hating men, so please, spare us all the hate you think we have for you guys.

3. We want to be men.

Oh please, where the fuck did that ever come from?! Ok, so it's true some lesbians may want a sex change, so do others who are straight, it's just how the feel they'd be more comfortable. 
I have never once wanted to be a man, the fact is I'm a lesbian because I love other women (well, only Kate), not beause I wish I was a man or because the fact I'm jealous I don't have a cock, which I know now what I say will be offensive to men, but cocks are UGLY. *shudders* and I'm not just saying that because I'm a lesbian, because before I realised my sexual orientation, I had boyfriends and so forth. If I had a dick I would be scared, i mean it's the weakest spot of a man and it just hangs around all day. Hmmm... 

4. All lesbians have short hair, or are butch.

Yeah... of course we are, not. Take a look at me. That's all I'm saying, I'm a girly girl, I've got long hair and I have feminine features. Yes, there are some of the lesbian population that look butch, lesbians of this physique are often called "dykes", but most of us look like any other female. It's the same way as some women choose to wear make up, some choose not to.

5. You can tell lesbians from straight women.

My fucking ass you can seperate us! Well, ok, you can tell when some lesbians are lesbians, only because they're so open about it though. But I mean seriously, what about the gay women out there who are still in the closet? Or the women who haven't even realised their sexual orientation? If they can't tell how are we supposed to know?
Even us gay people can't identify other gay people, it's just the way it is, if we were all treated as equals then yes, maybe we would be able to identify the straight people from the gay people, because we'd all be accepted no matter what. 
It would be so much easier if we could tell, that way there wouldn't be any embarassing moments when you try to kiss a straight girl, or a guy coming onto you.

6. Lesbians are women who are too ugly to attract other men.

Oh please! Not all lesbians are ugly, there are plenty of beautiful women out there who are lesbians. Take Anne Heche for example, a famous lesbian, and proud of her sexual orientation, possibly not everyone's type, but she is undeniably good looking. Need I say more?

7. We could become straight if we wanted to.

What a load of bollocks! Seriously, if we could be straight then all the closet lesbians would be straight right? I mean fair enough some people who think it's wrong to have feelings and sexual desires and a deep, meaningful love towards the same sex can ACT straight, but they aren't. So this shows me we CAN'T become straight, because it isn't something we can do. I myself am proud to be a lesbian and proud to be me, I wouldn't change for anyone, no matter what. It's happiness that counts, and I seriously don't think you can decide what sexuality you are, the feelings are either there or they aren't. Nothing can stop it.
