watching people realize i’m a lesbian when i don’t seem like it is so HILARIOUS

This is not a frustrated post I just wanted to write about something funny that happened to me and ask if you guys had any other stories like this loooll

So basically everyone expects lesbians to LOOK gay and dress alternative and major in some artsy shit right? My university has a lot of artsy bi girls like that.

On the contrary I’m a lesbian in STEM and it’s very pre professional and I have to network so I don’t really “look” alt cause I gotta lock in and network and interview.

also as a lesbian of color I feel like white wlw don’t rlly see us as gay as readily as other white people cause a lot of our cultures tend to be conservative and homophobic, but that doesn’t mean WE are.

I remember pregaming with a couple of bi girl film majors (with bfs) who kept overemphasizing their gayness and forgetting that i was the ONLY one there who had ACTUALLY dated women. I remember someone else cracked a joke and called all of us homophobic, but those two girls immediately cracked up and pointed at each other like “not us, cause we’re gay!” Likeee you guys know im gay too right!!!! include me too 😑 i told y’all so many times! but i don’t look gay and I don’t talk about how I am all the time.

Anyway last week I brought a girl to stay w me from a different university that I’ve been talking to. She’s really attractive and she also “looks” lesbian and when I went down the elevator with her at night to show her our common lounge, a bunch of gay girls from my dorm floor were there too and they were drunk (it was friday night) Those girls were those ones who made their friend group based off how they are were ALL gay or alt looking, and they literally WOULD NOT talk or befriend anyone in our dorm who wasn’t like them.

anyway when both of us stepped into the lounge almost all these girls stared at us, half were like checking out the girl i was with and also like they were soo confused why they had never seen her before and why she was with me(a “straight” girl) and we were really close and giggling n shit

and ig the alcohol made those girls bold, they came over to the girl i was talking to and introduced themselves and I was pretty annoyed cause they had allll year to befriend me but 🤷🏻‍♀️ whatever, they have style requirements for their group i guess

but guys it was SOOO funny the way the girl i was with immediately caught on to how some of them were sort of flirting with her and how i was annoyed so she was making a big show of being touchy w me and mentioning how she was only at my University because of me and i was just being nonchalant trying not to start LAUGHING because one of the girls was like “waitt so you’re like talking? I didn’t know that aww” in the most JEALOUS and aggravated way and then ALL of them started looking at me different, like they hadn’t even considered that I could be anything but straight.

Just today I saw some of that group in my building and they stared at me weird but different than the usual disinterested glare and I was just reminded of that funny ass story. it’s annoying but I love surprising people. Has anyone ever experienced shit like this? (obviously but lemme hear about it)
