The LGBTQ community genuinely doesn't understand consent and it's scary

Extra note: as I was writing this I just deeped that all of lesbophobia is based of rape 🫢 Like... lesbophobia itself is an extension of rape culture... yoh

Obligatory: not everyone in the LGBTQ, I'm just saying it's a very wide pattern/theme

The LGBTQ should be the last people on earth to not understand consent but with the everlasting drive to demonize lesbians and women in general, people are choosing to loosen their grasp on the understanding of sexual consent and rape.

Lemme be clear; not feeling traumatized after a sexual interaction does not determine whether or not something is rape. One person's rape could break every rule of consent and be absolutely soul shaking. Another person may walk out of being raped unaffected, and it could have no negative impact on them. It's still equally rape. You'll never know how you'll react until after it happens.

Here's some baseline rules for consent, idk if there's more factors that I never learned about but this is the minimum:

  • Freely given agreement – Free from pressure, free from coercion, etc.
  • Retractability – Safe to take away agreement, to say no/stop at any time, will be respected, no punishment if you retract.
  • Informed – All information about the interaction is given to you, such as who you are having sex with, where, when, how (e.g what positions, body parts or toys are intended for use), and why (is it a hook-up, is it a relationship, etc). This also includes being educated enough to understand what sex is and old enough to understand the gravity of the matter.
  • Enthusiasm – You express happiness/desire to take part in the activity.
  • Specificity – Your consent only applies to this specific interaction with this specific person unless you agree otherwise

I'm saying this because it is common in the wider LGBTQ community to promote the idea of certain sexual orientations engaging in sex in such a way to violate one or more of such things.

An example is promoting asexual people having sex. By definition they're not sexually attracted (please no one give me that acespec shit, I said asexual, not acespec), thus lack a desire/yearning for sex. Yes some asexuals are sex negative (disgusted by sex) and some are sex neutral (don't care either way). Having sex with a sex neutral person is still not enthusiastic sex therefore not fully consensual, even if they don't gaf 🗣️

Anyways, the elephant in the room, how lesbians are treated. Just today I saw someone, in two separate comments/posts, mock a lesbian for saying actually it's a sexual violation to surprise a lesbian with a penis in the bedroom (even if sex acts have not occurred). Which it is a violation, because that's not informed consent. Plus already being naked threatens Freely given agreement and/or Retractability should sex continue further.

Ofc there's the whole D*ke conversion thing which is treated as an acceptable fetish by large portions of the wider LGBTQ (esp the BDSM) part of the community, bc DC thrives off trying to change (aka pressure) lesbians into heterosexual sex. It is often not compatible with Enthusiasm either, if not featuring textbook aggravated rape (when all 5 criteria are violated).

Also the whole "Gold star is a gross term!!" literally is people being salty that some lesbians didn't endure unenthusiastic sex with men...

Also I saw someone else say that being lez4lez is exclusionary, which is also pressuring us to tear down our sexual boundaries (so it's sociogenic sexual pressure), as well as it being a further encouragement of unenthusiastic sex (sex between a lesbian and bisexual where the lesbian was normally lez4lez)
