Is it normal the word lesbian disgusts me?

Ok now I am not attacking gays or gay women but I hate the word Lesbian. It sounds sexual and nasty the word fag just sounds insulting and most other words just come off as harsh to me but that word disturbs me maybe because the tongue twister "Lick a little lolli" so I associate most words with a L slightly dirty some how. Also I think that gay men should be called mandits like Bandits and Gay women should be called linga like lingerie( since when thinking of women people often think of that. Also these new terms do not sound rude or harsh just funny. I think this will bring less hate when talking to gays. Also this is not a troll post I am very Serious.

Is It Normal?

    • It is not stupid! It is a peaceful solution. It is reverse psychology.

  • Lesbian doesn't sound great. If only this tendency had arisen on another of Greece's islands than Lesbos. Although not Crete (that would make them sound like Cretins). And not Euboea (sounds like Ebonics). And not Lemnos (sounds like Annie Lemnos, a famous Lesbosian).

    As for fag, it sounds insulting because it's meant to be. That's the only purpose of it. To demean and traduce people of a sexuality people are so petrified of themselves being that they demean and traduce people who are brave enough to admit it.

    • LOL about Crete.

      Although I guess you could call them Sapphotic? But that sounds kinda weird. Sapphoian? Oh "sapphic" I guess is the term.

      Then again Sappho herself is somewhat why the word "Lesbian" means homosexual female. Although according to the wiki it sounds like she was actually a pansexual rather than a homosexual.

  • Are you homosexual yourself? I know that I have a sexual issue and I HATE all the words people use for it because A)They sound stupid. B)I don't want to be defined in a dumb word and C)They remind me of all the times I've been confronted/teased. If you are a homosexual, I would perfectly understand why you hate some words.

    • Well I hate the L word since I think it sounds dirty. Also I have watched people picked on and it is sad. I honestly think this might be a better solution.

      • If you're not gay, you have no business deciding what gay people should call themselves.

      • I don't think it counts as alliteration if you repeat the same word over and over again.

    lesbians aren't sluts to say "linga like lingerie" & wt is "linga"anyway!!!"sexual symbol,symbolizes the physical body of the god,female creative energy(wiki)" this is rude,harsh,silly and not funny at all!!! a lesbian is a girl just like u but she is into females not males. that's all

    • You have misunderstood the statement I was making. I am saying I dislike the word. I do not care about if anyone is gay. It is not a big deal to me. I am saying I hate the word. I do not know why you get the impression I think lesbians are sluts? I just made those words because they sound stupid. When a insult is that stupid no one will take it seriously so if you use it to identify gays the matter instantly become less serious. Which means we can no longer judge of sexuality.

      • Lesbian isn't a slur or an insult, though. When people want to insult lesbians, they call them dykes or lesbos. Lesbian is one of the terms people choose to identify themselves. Anyway, sexual orientation can be very important and serious to people, so I don't think intentionally choosing words that sound stupid is a good idea. Besides, I would argue that stupid sounding words are MORE insulting, not less. The pain that slurs cause and the power they have comes from oppression and violence. Having a stupid sounding insult wouldn't help if people still yell it during hate crimes, which they would. A slur sounding stupid has never stopped people before.

        • No I mean make the insults dumb because if it sounds dumb people just laugh and take it less seriously.

          • I know, and I'm saying that doesn't help. If people said "mandit" or "linga" while beating gay people, or if people defended "corrective rape" of "lingas", it wouldn't hurt any less. The slurs we have hurt because they have violence, oppression, and fear behind them. It has nothing to do with what the words themselves sound like. "Faggot" would be an absurdly stupid insult if people didn't get beaten to death while hearing it and if it wasn't used by people arguing against giving gay people basic human rights.

            • I’m sorry but reading that made me laugh. Those terms are stupid. Also Fag is used for everything those words today have less meaning then ever. It means a cigarette, a gay or a very stupid person. Its like a British bloke is saying "bloody" and it has changed several times over the year.

              secondly you do not think that word is amazing? I mean We need more names like this? If people put stupid labels on things it becomes funny. It takes out the seriousness.

              I mean what self respecting person can hit someone while saying something like that?
              Laughter is the best medicine in the world now.

              If something is evil change the label and maybe they will just see them as normal. I mean think about all the bad labels in the world. If they sounded funny you think they would sound as threatening?

              If Hitler was named Bionker do you think it would be taken seriously as a leader? Do you not agree it has some amount of impact when the word is rendered as funny as next to funny?
