Might not be articulate but whatever. Of all the issues I have with my body and appearance, I know that I want to be beautiful and thin to never have to be confronted with the “ah, that’s why” if I ever come out. I don’t want to be seen as a lesbian because I’m ugly and fat. I don’t want people to think or say, based on my appearance, that they understand why I’m a lesbian. I’m so scared of being “that kind of lesbian” that people talk about, that kind of “ugly” being that is only not attracted to men because they’re somehow not appealing to them in any way. I don’t want my lesbianism to be tied with ugliness. I don’t want my appearance to be a reason for my family to explain my lesbianism.
