No one believes I'm a lesbian . . .

Hi all. I've had a little trouble with my network connection lately and have been unable to stay on the internet, but I've been catching up reading here and there. Sending hellos to all of you!

Newest dilemma:

It's doesn't seem that anyone believes that I'm really a lesbian. I'm hearing a lot of things from a lot of people including my stbx husband, and my oldest friend. My stbx says that I'm just going through a phase, my oldest friend says that she's known me my whole life and has always seem me attracted to guys, and to make it all worse, gf's friends and sisters all have something to say about my "sudden transformation," and think that I'll probably change my mind and go back to men.

Should this bother me? Is there a checklist that I need to fill out and send in somewhere? These are the conclusions that I've come up with on my own:

1. I'm in love with a woman.

2. I would rather have dental work done that to sleep with another man.

3. I regret all of the time that I wasted having sex with men when I could have been having sex with women.

4. If I were single, I wouldn't want to date guys. (Well maybe I would let them buy me dinner, but that's all.)

I could go on, but you all get the picture I'm sure. Is this a common response from people? Have any of you experienced this? It's all confusing enough, then to have people doubt that I even know what I want makes me feel like I'm crazy.

Thanks in advance for all of your wisdom and support!

Not only do I not know how to change a tire, but I don't even want to know how to change a tire. That would require getting on the ground and that is out of the question. Too dirty for me! Maybe we can find a Dyke Prep class before testing day, if I do well enough on the written part maybe I can afford to skip the clinicals? HA Sandra

Usually your local chapter will meet every third Thursday of the month at your local Home Depot at 7:00 p.m.

Each week you will be taken to a new section. The first week is in the plumbing dept., second week in lumber and so on.

Make sure to ask questions and take notes.

Some chapters go out and shoot pool after to relax. This is a great way to learn lesbian bonding and how to know if you are on a date or just friends.

Let me know if you have anymore questions, and good luck.

We will gladly welcome you in to the fold.

Hugs,

Laurie

You will be encouraged to keep the cue stick and then trade it in later at one of the bars.

You will usually be given a choice of, a ball cap, 2 or more cats or 2 dogs.

Good luck on your test spike.

Hugs,

Laurie

I'm thinking with all the incredible wonderful Lesbians here that we should write our OWN Handbook!

The only thing one of those bad grrlz wants a cell phone for is so that her g/f can call while she's on the road and tell her what to pick up at the grocery store.

To tell you the truth, I think I was a born lesbian.

It's called cross training. Everyone must be familiarized in all aspects then fall in where they belong or fit.
