I& #39;m still not sure about how I want to identify, and if I want the word "lesbian" tied to my identity
Because I& #39;m not woman-aligned. I do like some things that are feminine, but not because of that. I just like things that are pretty, things that allows me to visually stim

Like glitter, shiny things, things that are usually found in "girly" things. I like pastel colors because they soothe me and I& #39;m extremely anxious and stressed out.
I love nails because I can constantly visually stim, as well as auditory (tapping) and touch stim

Stimming makes me happier + I& #39;m an artist (in the sense that I draw) so doing nail art and wearing it allows me to both stim and have fun creating pretty things.
At no moment do I think "oh I feel feminine" or that it makes me more of a woman

if I was amab, I& #39;d probably still do it.
I feel very disconnected from gender, and the more I grow up and consciously undo the ties between clothes, nails, ect and gender, the less I see inanimate things as gendered
But
I& #39;m still afab

My birth name is feminine, society sees me as a woman and treat me as such. And I don& #39;t plan to over-perform masculinity in order to change that. It& #39;s their problem, not mine.
But I& #39;m tired so I don& #39;t really fight it. My native tongue also doesnt have gender neutral words

So I slip into the woman suit like a costume for my everyday life, because it& #39;s simpler.
Doesn& #39;t make me less nb.
But even if I don& #39;t feel a connection to womanhood, I still have those ties.
That& #39;s why I might feel closer to the label lesbian, and especially bi lesbian

To describe my attraction that is majorly turned toward women, but still involves other genders
I& #39;m still unsure.
Also I dont really go with the "homoromantic bisexual" or "biromantic homosexual" because I& #39;m on the ace spectrum so it& #39;s a bit confusing

I say attraction as a big thing. I& #39;m also fully out to myself and my family since pretty recently and haven& #39;t dated since almost 10 years so yep.
But the two last times I fell in love, they were a woman and a woman-aligned nb
So yeah...

This thread is really just me musing some feelings that I think might be useful to some to understand why some people might choose that label
