@i.am.waffl3z: The signs of compulsory heterosexuality are so specific yet so many women experience them identically. These aren't abstract concepts. They're lived experiences that shaped decades of confusion before women found the language to understand what was happening. The performative attraction piece is huge. Picking the "safe" male celebrities your friends liked and hoping the feelings would follow, while being unconsciously drawn to female celebrities for reasons you couldn't name. Physical intimacy avoidance with men is probably the most telling sign of comphet. Thinking this was normal female experience and that other women were just better at enjoying something that felt like a chore to you. The intense female friendships hit differently when you realize they were romantic feelings. Wanting to spend all your time with certain women, feeling possessive when they dated other people, but calling it friendship because sapphic attraction wasn't presented as an option. These relationships felt electric in ways that partnerships with men never did. Late in life lesbians often describe relief when relationships with men ended, even when they convinced themselves they were in love. Coming out at any age means processing not just who you are, but understanding who you were trying to be. Your timeline doesn't determine your validity. These signs exist because society designed them to make your natural feelings invisible, even to yourself. Recognition is the first step toward trusting what you've always known deep down. #comphet #comingout #lateinlifelesbian #wlwtiktok #lesbiansoftiktokover30

Stayed with him for 21 years and made up soooo many excuses to not be intimate- including saying I was sore from the time before and needed to rest. 🤦🏻♀️

Yes! However, I had multiple male partners in hopes that it would be different.

My experiance was different because, being trans, I spent that time pretending I *was* the man. I did spend 23 years in a relationship with a straight girl because I "knew" she'd leave if she found out the truth about who I was... she tried, but ultimately it was too much. I can't even fully see how I was affected, even now as a late in life lesbian because the trans aspect confuses things. it was ok when I was wearing masculinity as a mask, so I still feel like an imposter at times. People need to talk about that too... but people generally don't. They talk about wanting to dress as themselves, live as themselves... but never loving or being loved as themselves.
