the idea of gaydar is honestly so funny to me. straight people truly think that gay people have absolutely no control over the way they present themselves, and no self awareness about how that presentation comes off.... trust me if a gay man is wearing nail polish and tight button downs and speaking in a higher pitch he knows that he’s doing that. he knows that you know he’s gay and he’s doing that on purpose. if a lesbian has a crew cut and wears basketball shorts and wifebeaters she knows that you know that she’s a lesbian and she’s doing that on purpose. you don’t have a special talent for decifering gay people you’re just able to pick up on messages that are actively being sent to you congrats i guess
growing up around straight girls as a gay girl and wanting so badly to completely connect with them because you loved them so much and you felt so much tenderness towards them and their friendship but there was also something always missing and you always felt like an outsider looking in because you could never be Truly vulnerable because being vulnerable meant being gay and being gay meant being predatory and the idea of being predatory towards girls filled you with so much shame
alternately, growing up around straight girls as a didn’t-know-I-was-gay girl and wanting so badly to completely connect with them because you loved them so much and felt so much tenderness towards them and their friendship but there was also something missing and you always felt like an outsider looking in because you just knew there was something different that kept you from connecting in the same ways and you instinctively avoided being vulnerable because you knew that it meant something would change and you just couldn’t figure out what but it wouldn’t be good
