Especially when most cishet women I’ve had sex with were teenagers and the average lesbian is 23-35

  1. Lesbians are terrible at making the first move and chasing/initiating/escalating.“Useless lesbian” stereotype

Just as bad as cishet women so I still end up 99% having to do the chasing/escalating since I’m better at it and more willing to do so. It makes things feel gendered af and so, so dysphoric. I’m at the point where I honestly never want to do it ever again

  1. The shyness is incredibly bad

I’ve had multiple women flirt with me first (and express explicit interest in kissing/hooking up) and when I escalate to kiss them, they start giggling, pull back, and keep saying how nervous/shy they are. I then have to help calm them down and wait for 5-10 minutes until they can pull themselves together. Tangentially, also met an incredible amount of bisexual women who said that they’ve never done anything with a woman before because they’re too shy to flirt with women

  1. Stroke game is pretty bad

I’m just comparing to myself and other trans women here. Just less experience I guess

  1. Head game is worse

Probably just also lack of experience. Hard to blame them on this given how most of their dating pool don’t have dicks

  1. Too soft and respectful?

This is probably just a personal preference I guess. But the sex now is very methodical, soft, slow. Vs before where it was much more primal, instinctual, and intense

Doesn’t apply to trans women or bisexuals in my experience

  1. Worse at flirting

So many lesbians just straight up tell/ask me they wanna kiss/have sex/whatever. It’s all incredibly explicit and direct. Which I understand for consent reasons, clear communication, etc. But the sexual tension of subtle flirting and the playful back and forth is something I miss so much

    Sorry for the cishet-ignorance I’m gonna show with this question, but I got confused about what trans-lesbian means? Is that like OP, a trans femme into women? Or a trans man into women?

    Also just generally, I have no idea about what the sexual component of lesbian interaction plays out like, but socially at least I’ve met a ton of lesbians that outwardly appear very confident and aggressive, but I think they’re what you would say were more on the butch or or more male-coded side of the lesbian spectrum (not necessarily in appearance, but just like attitude , possibly into sports, very “one of the guys” type vibe.) But in any case I always assumed they’d be pretty aggro about sex, they talked about it all the time haha.

    I cracked up at your “how dinosaurs dated” bit.

      The first one. A lesbian who is a trans woman is a trans lesbian.

      As opposed to trans men who are into women but still consider themselves culturally lesbian, which is also a kind of person that exists.
