I am trying to view peoples ideas about this. But first and foremost, please don’t argue around here. I mean, we must welcome 3rd community and not to discriminate them. Personally, I don’t believe they choose whom they’re going to be. It’s in the genes, right? Or rather, their environment where they were being raised.
Early childhood sexual abuse is also a BIG factor why pinay or pinoys become lesbians or gay. This is really true because one of my colleagues is a bisexual who confessed everything about his past childhood abuse done by his uncle. According to him, one time his uncle forced him to play his d*ck and that’s it!. His trauma keeps on popping up into his thoughts and eventually, he became gay.
What more else to those children that were sexually & brutally abused?
Is it fine for you guys/gals when it comes to having friends like them? Or being one of them?
This is really interesting and I want to know more about the Filipino Community’s reaction or point of view about being a lesbian or a gay.
For me, I have a bunch of lesbian friends in Cebu. In fact, I find them very amusing, talented and thoughtful. Sometimes I consider myself to somewhat of this kind.
By the way, I didn’t know there exists a different categories of Lesbians in Cebu, lol:
- Femme to Femme : Female orientation who is attracted to Female as well – mga girly girly pareho. But these Femmes can also be attracted to Males. which then will be categorised as Bisexuals.
- Femme and Butch : Female (girly-girly) who is atracted to Female pero Hardcore boyish resemblance.
- Soft Butch and Femme: In between Femme and a butch who is atracted to a Femme. soft butch can be with a Femme or Butch.
- Dykes : Hardcore Female Lesbians
Confusing at first, but let’s just say it falls to one effect from a cause.
Please don’t be rude and sarcastic in giving comments and opinions about lesbians & gay here in Cebu or in Philippines. I just want to make an environment or topic that can help others who felt like no one understands them.

Yes, there are a lot of factors why women become or identify as lesbians. It can be because of the genes, the environment or personal history, or a mix of all three. But the important thing is, being a lesbian should be a *choice*, so we can be proud of our gender identity.
Please refrain from calling lesbians 3rd sex. It’s a derogatory term. When you say 3rd sex, you admit to having a hierarchy of sexes, that someone else is above lesbians, (the 1st and 2nd sexes), and lesbians come only at third. But that isn’t true, right?
Also, I just want to add that in my experience and from what I’ve seen, there are lesbians who do not want to identify to any of these classifications. As the advocacy goes, the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community are proud of *diversity*, and some do not want to be labeled and subscribe to labels. But of course, it’s their choice.
I also made a list of the terms lesbians go by such as tibam, tibo, butch, etc. You can check it on my site, http://www.weeqender.com.
Where are the lesbians of Cebu? I mean, the decent looking ones? I can’t find them!
I would like to see my wife making love with a Filipina Lesbian and lick her pussy
nowadays, it seems that Cebu is flooding with lesbians, and gays.
And what’s good with it is that, people (specifically the conservative ones)
are somehow dealing with it. status of a person doesn’t matter, anyway.
wala na’y uso ignorante karon. LOL!
And yeah, i am one of these people (i so much love my “dyke” girlfriend a lot) ♥♥♥
