I’m watching this because my daughter came out recently and I want to know as much as I can. This will help me know what she’s talking about!
aw that’s so sweet! wish i had a moment like you
That's so nice of you as a mother, not like my parents who whould kick me out of the houst for beeing a lesbian- :
U are such a sweetheart 💕 ur daughter is one lucky peach 🤗
But know your respect is all she needs 😘
Ahhh your a good mum
Aww! You’re such a good parent!
can we take a moment to appreciate lilian's platinum radiance today 💖
Hahaaa thank you! ☺️
Can I be either of your goldendildo? My bad I'm just funnin with ya's. I'm happy for you both and like seeing how you relate to one another while keeping it real. I was going to bed and this popped up ( you'll be relieved to know nothing else LOL ) sorry I had to I'm " punch drunk " as they say when you're tired, but I had to watch and glad I did !!!
Stay Well !!!
@@AlexisLilian please read above LOL
@Michael Quinn You would probably say that about Isabella Russolini too I guess. Personally all three are very attractive in distinct ways.
Indeed - Lillian looks absolutely resplendent in this one (plus, Alexis looks as cute as a kitten, too!)
I disagree with the term, “Saysbian.” I identify as Bisexual. If I’m with a man, I’m still bisexual...not straight. And if I’m with a woman, I’m still bisexual...not a lesbian. So I disagree with the term Saysbian...there is probably definitely a chick that person would love to fool around with, but since the dating pool is smaller by default ends up messing with a man. Doesn’t mean she isn’t being honest about wanting to be with women.
i agree, it's just making biphobia even worse :(
Thank you! I can't help it that none of the girls I've liked have liked me back!
100% agreed. If I say that I'm bisexual, then I'm bisexual. End of story. 👏😊
It said “ONLY“ not “currently“
@@frogcom-ni3kl Well, I'm married to a man now, so I guess my transformation to saysbian is complete?
I don’t think we should belittle the ‘saybians’ because I was one for a long time before I was able to work through my internalized homophobia!
Thank you, it should be known that acknowledging Saysbians is not the same as being biphobic, as there are some bisexuals there that are up to do harm, either by intention or internal struggle like you were...
yes! i think i knew i was a lesbian when i was very young, like 11 years old moving into secondary school. but then because of heteronormativity and men being the only people giving me attention (because i was very unpopular and i guess a few men only wanted to interact with me because they were attracted to me), i second guessed for YEARS. i had sex with men and it never felt pleasurable, i thought people were just exaggerating how good it feels or i was just missing something. things i thought i was experiencing the same as everyone else, i actually wasn't. i got my 1st sx toy about 4 months ago and then i finally realised what it was supposed to feel like, then realised i could only climax when thinking about women. so it took until i was 20 to figure myself out. I am now sure that so many lesbians have thought i was "saybian" but it is not my fault that men (and heteronormativity in general) were manipulating me!!!! i identified as bi for a long time, but I think people doubted me because I never dated a woman, because I don't think any woman has ever been interested in me, or I was too intimidated to initiate anything (now I realise that's because I am actually attracted to women!! it's easier for me to talk to men because im not sxually attracted to them 😂)
The word 'breeders' is sometimes used to describe straight people, especially on TikTok :)
🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, but us old folks used the term 'breeders' to refer to straights waaayyy before desktop computers were a thing - and at least a decade before TikTok was a gleam in Zhang Yiming's eye. Thanks for reminding me how old I am though.🤣🤣🤣 🌈👭🏳️🌈Happy Pride!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

Lilian said "power-lesbian" and I thought "oh like Bette Porter!"
and then she repeated it out loud
that's kind of lesbian collective mind)
Hahaha love it!
Bette immediately popped into my mind too!
I always think of Rachel Maddow when I hear “power lesbian”
I heard of a term ‘spaghetti straight’, where a girl is straight until she gets gets wet..😬
That's a good one🤭🤭🤭
😂 I like this one
LOL reminds me of a girl in H.S. people used to call spaghetti 🍝 head but as far as I know or anyone really knows in H.S. back then she was str8 !!!!
wtf?
Hahah that used to be me before I realised I'm not straight xd

I would totally watch a Godzilla vs Huge Lesbian movie! 😁 She could save Tokyo
"People attracted to people who look similar to them."
So true! My wife is a short blonde haired bisexual. She watched this video from the corner of her eye, and grin: "Why are you watching FULLY CLOTHED lesbians?", then she came closer, and yell: "Oh my god, i'm gonna leave you for her!" (Lilian)
ME: "Why? Do you have a twin fetish, or what?"
"No, no, look at her hands!"
ME: "Why? ...OH MY GOD, SHE REALLY HAVE BEAUTIFUL HANDS!!!" :D
Is your life you can call yourself what ever God bless you all.
Loved it. Just one note. Some people are not lazy just not able. I will probably always need to be a pillow princess cause of my chronic illness. Not scolding anyone, I know most people just don't haven't heard or thought of it. So I might play all princess on a one night stand just to not have to reveal my personal disabilities that I haven't gotten out of my "now I feel unsexy" complex. But loved the lingo update :)
These aren't necessarily slang words but more lesbian terminology I can think of: "Wlw" (women loving women), "Sapphic" (same as lesbian but includes all girls who like girls, aka also bis and pans) "Futch"- middle between butch and femme
in my area, we call futch as andro
that's what slang is...
I'm a futch then😬😊
I‘ve heard of a term „bambi lesbians“ who are more interested in cuddling and kissing, and little cute things than in sex
Me too
I-
This is me 😳😳
Awww that sounds so cute

Yes the etthundra, also know as a 100-footer. A 100ft tall lesbian goddess that we all worship on the 100th day of the year. She brings us peace and happiness in our relationships and good fortune
Death by snu snu
In our circle, "Tweener" was a label - not really butch, not femme, somewhere in between. Think sweatshirts, cargo shorts, short hair, but wears light makeup or does their hair every morning before leaving the house.
Alexis, I dont know if you would like to talk about that kind of topic in a video but I would love to hear more about your personal journey with sexual orientation and identity! I remember that lilian made a video about her coming out as bisexual which was super interesting to watch!
"Fish Hook" This term could be unique to my childhood friends. I'm a hetero guy and when I was a kid back in the 80s, I ran in many circles. One particular group of friends used to call me their fish hook. Because they were very flannel and work boot wearing ladies, they felt like some girls our age were intimidated by them and that made it hard for them to mingle at some social gatherings. To make it harder, they were kind of shy too. Being teenagers and there were parties going on, it wasn't fair that they should miss out. So they would have me go with them and open up some conversations and invite these new friends to come over to meet my other friends. They openly admitted that at our age, some girls were just scared of walking up to another girl but they hoped to at least meet some nice girls, even if they used a guy as bait. A little later in life, some of my other gay friends invited me to basically do the same thing a few times but they just called me their "token straight friend". Since then, I've never heard the term used by anyone else but when I see a group of friends with ONE straight friend in tow, I suspect that might be their fish hook. 😉 I wasn't a pimp or a matchmaker in any way, as the fish hook, all I did was introduce people to each other. Whatever came from the meeting was up to them.
I was with a LUG in college. So bummed when she ended up being "straight". Oh well. Btw, the "G" in LUG also refers to college graduation. There are a LOT of women who have lesbian relationships in college but then go straight after that.
That was fun! I really enjoyed this :3 Das "Tschüss" am Ende war richtig cute und hat mich erst absolut verwirrt. Ich vergess das manchmal einfach während ich dem englischen stuff lausche :D
Haha danke und stimmt wir müssten öfter mal deutsch reden ;)
The LUG thing is more of college graduation rather then highschool in my experience.
AHH I LOVE YOU GUYS!! happy last day of pride 🥺🌈
Love this! There are a few terms that I don’t know of but the doppelganger thing is hilarious. And about the gold star thing.. that’s a really controversial thing. I am a “gold star lesbian” but I absolutely agree that never being with a man doesn’t make me better than someone who has. I think it’s fine for a lesbian to be proud of never being with a man because heteronormativity pressures all women to do that, but it gets problematic when they put down other girls (lesbian or not) for having been with a man.
This⬆️. Plus there's always those who don't identify until much later in life. Imo dismissing a person because of their past is so judgmental.
Yesssss. Well said.
DoppleBANGER
I have a gay guy friend, very flamboyant who is proud to say he is Gold Star ... because not only dud he never touch a girl, he was a c-section. Still, it could be taken that you are “less than” if that was not your path.
LAG makes so much sense when you think about it, lol.
LAG for most of us, but LUGs are typically referencing graduation from COLLEGE (since they presented as "straight" in High School and felt more free to engage in a "phase" of "experimentation" in college before "settling down" with a guy after graduating from 2-4 yrs in Undergrad, typically).
~ In general, most of humanity (60-80%, according to the Kinsey Scale research or common Bell Curve stats) are bisexual to some extent, but do end up in hetero relationships out of either convenience or a desire to be socio-culturally acceptable.
Love the shoutout to Stone Butch Blues... I just read it for a course this past year and it was honestly painful and heartbreaking at points and definitely worth a read if y'all haven't read it.
I hated when my coworker called me a gold star like it was an accomplishment or something. Like who cares? I’m a stone butch and never new it. I would totally be a lag because of being scared of coming out to my parents. Also Stud is a term for women of color so we could add that.
Great video! I was defiantly what you could call a LAG. I didn't come out till I was 19, after I saw what happened to my 2 friends who came out as lesbians. They lost almost all of their friends, except for me and a few others, the one girl's dad was a marine he beat the shit out of her then kicked her out of the house, then our year book had taken a pic of them and instead of just not printing it they blacked out their faces before it went in to be printed out. The other girls parents brought a lawsuit against the school not only foe discriminating on her and her gf for being gay, but also because they were black and Latina. It was just all so fucked up, and terrified me to come out,
(except with the few girls I was hooking up with on the DL, they werent out either). But when i did come out at 19 I just felt so much better, and like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.
Wtf?! What year was that? And which country? Wow, that‘s so terrible. I hope her lawsuit succeeded? I‘m so sorry you had to experience that.
But glad you did come out! That's great for you!
@@Berlinerundso this was in New Jersey in the U.S. back in the mid 00s
@@jogle9013 thank you💕
cute overload! my friends use the term ‘stem’ a lot. it’s to describe someone who’s in the middle of ‘stud’, or ‘butch’, and a ‘femme’. leaning to one side or the other more would denote ‘hard stem’ and ‘soft stem’
so I would consider Alexis as femme and Lillian as a soft stem. and both very cute and beautiful 😍😆
Happy Pride Alexis and Lillian! Thank you for being so inspiring to me
Found you guys a few days ago and I’m literally obsessed🥺😍💖. Y’all are such a beautiful and wholesome couple shem🥺
Much love from South Africa 😂💖
You guys are my favorite couple, you guys are so adorable. I'm just coming out, a tad bit shy and I love watching your videos it helps me become less shy for coming out. You're awesome! ❤
Congrats! Coming out is difficult and a definitely a process, no matter which closet you are exiting. Please don't let any bumps or obstacles come in the way of becoming the person you really are. One quick word? You may want to transition the word "guys" into a place in your vocabulary where you are referring to two or more people generally of male gender. In the heterosexual world, it is typically fine to call even a couple of women "guys", however, some members of the LGBTQ+ community find the term offensive when it is used in reference to them. Oh, and by the way, YOU'RE awesome!
@@Jhymnbeau Thank you for telling me that, I am so new to this all and I have a few questions I need answers to. Do you not mind me asking you something?
Great show. As a senior straight man, I loved the inside knowledge into your community.
It's cute that you think 4 years is a long time, my wife and I will celebrate our 37th on May 4, 2021.
Congrats to you both!
Congratulations but this comes off as “We’re better than you”
Beaver damning LOL I like that one. And Alexis not getting it was even more funny!!!
I would love to see more of your lesbian book recommendations/ romantic novels. Love you all 😍😍✨
We should call straight people "The Unbendable's".🤴🏾
😂 down!
but some of us are kinda bendy...
As weird as this might sound -- but I'm an empath! You two's body language as a couple is so beautiful. It's endearing to even watch. Thanks for sharing!
Aw, thank you!
What a lovely couple! And you 2 are so fun how you interact together! Loved the video it was entertaining. I agree labels feed into stereotypes but people seem to really like them lol
I thought you said 40 years of knowing each other! Man I thought you both agreed really well for a second
I thought she said that too and I was so confused because they look too young for that lol.
Me too!
Ihr macht das richtig gut das man sich at home fühlt hier❤🌈
I'm a transbian who isn't a high femme. I consider myself pretty femme, but I don't wear dresses at this point. I looked for some recently but everything I found was either too small or too large for me. Still finding my style. Just last week, I purged all my guy clothes from my wardrobe except for some t-shirts. Once I find women's versions of those shirts, I'll purge the old ones.
You two are great together, such real characters!!
There's also the term "Stem" which is a mix of Fem (or femme?) and Stud :)
@@csageo6 butch and femme are fine, you are correct stud has historical ties to specifically the black lesbian community. Some other words for stem could be futch, or androgynous
I absolutely love your videos! You both are a joy to watch. 😊
i think your wedding dresses are going to be super cuuuute!!!! i dont know why i just started thinking about it
Where was this my teen years ?! Thank you never too late.
I am salt and pepper right now. Lilian’s hair is an inspiration. I can’t wait to go silver.
ok idk if they covered this but to simplify everything you got fem(girly girl) stem ( stud or masc and fem as well) and stud,butch,masc( dress boyish very masculine).
Just stumbled upon your channel! 😊 you girls are the freakin' cutest!❤
Lilian your hair are absolutely amazing today !!!! 💕💕
Thank you kindly! Finally got the hang of bleaching my hair at home 😊
Very educational. Love your chemistry.
Love this ! i love you guys🌈 happy pride!
Happy Pride to you both. Also a belated Happy Anniversary! Thanks for sharing all your statements regarding defining gay slang words.
YESBIAN: Your best or close lesbian friend whose company you enjoy so much, that u say “YESSS!!” when u hear she’s coming over 🙌🏼
Congratulations! My wife and I have been together 20 years this year!
I love your hair being brushed up
If memory serves me right, back home (Mexico) in the early 2000’s we used to call “buga” any straight person. Not sure if the term is still used over there...
WoW! As much as I have fallen in love with the both of you in less than 5 minutes, a gazillion flashbacks just hit me. I have such twisted feeling about hanging in the community.
Greg Burcham Awwww...💜. How come twisted feelings, friend?... Just curious.
@@deehowe4141 LongStoryShort, Before collage I was already working in and with the the familia. I attended many of mixers and events with the local chapter of the LGBQ (at the time) and, yeah, I was very well received and welcomed, but humans are humans to keep this short, and a few really did not understand the word "No!" even when told by the elders of the community that I was "Off Limits". So lets just say, I have some strong repressed anxieties from the harassment of the male kind. Be they the Bear Cubs, Tweedledee and Tweedleleedii, etc... I don't question my self, I just get aggravated that my communication skill then were not par enough to keep a few strictly at bay.
Greg Burcham Thanks for responding. I do hope things have improved for you and that you are building some positive memories now.
As a South African Lesbian it happens so often when guys think they can “fix” you
Dear Lilian you should be a hand model. I just followed your hand around hahah
You guys are adorable together really nice video very helpful!
I truly appreciate you both. Lots of love and respect from Singapore
Love your channel just found it today ❤️❤️
Love your videos
Notification are always on for your channel.
Yay! Thank you!
I think LUG is referring to college-aged women
Good vid 🌈
Love your hair Lilian looks stunning...
Dam South-African boys, they say the same to me 2...
Hell and that irritates the crap out of me, ego idiots i call them 🌻
We have a sweet thing were you complement the girl you are into's hands and if she returns the complement then it means she is a Lesbian and likes u back
So agree about sa boys ..
Happy Pride Ladies 🎉🎇
Much knowledge much love 🌈 Thank you!
The backgrounds of all your videos are always so aesthetically pleasing!! And your outfits too, I notice those details. Hope you are both doing well, thanks for making videos in these hard times 😊

Aw thank you! And welcome to the channel :)
This is sooo funny! Love you girls already!
Beaver dam ... so funny LOL. Love the vid 🥰
Okay i have a question: what purpose do these labels serve? I've always found them kind of restrictive, limiting. Like, I understand being able to say: I'm exclusively into women or I'm into both or all genders, but aren't studs and femmes and what not just a question of style and isn't style sometimes flexible?
LUG was always applied during university not high school
I think maybe the graduation in LUG is referring to college graduation? Cuz, you know, the stereotype of "experimenting in college"
on tiktok there's a slang for straight ppl it's straggot lol but we say this to the straights who claim to be "so oppressed" (idk where this thought came from, bc they for sure are not oppressed)
STRAGGOT! I'm dead. 😆
yeah they ALWAYS get so offended it's hilarious
straggot or breeder
I assume someone has caught this already, but I'll say it just in case. LUG (Lesbian Until Graduation) refers to _college_ ! For many _decades_ , young women (especially those who went to all-female colleges) "experimented" and discovered their sexuality, away from their high school friends, away from their hometown and family. But some just seemed to be "playing" at it--they enjoyed having a girlfriend and being in the lesbian community while at school, but weren't going to commit to continuing, coming out, etc. _after_ they graduated.
I always assumed some of them were bi or fluid; perhaps others were afraid to admit their true sexuality and were going to try to get married to a man and live a "normal" (het) life. The problem, and hence the label, is that the girls they were with would get seriously hurt--imagine being lovers with someone for 1-4 years and then she suddenly goes back in the closet, or she repudiates your relationship like it was a mistake or just youthful experimenting, or dismisses it as just some fun she had in college and now she's going to look for a man to settle down with. Not because they weren't happy with their girlfriend, but because they were graduating and going home to their family and old friends. Because of "comphet"--"compulsory heterosexuality"...societal pressure to be straight.
Y’all are amazing - wish I could hang with you and discuss anything! 😘😘
Can I ask where you’re from? You and my aunt almost have the same accent but she traveled from Australia to Germany to Austria to.... etc 😂 so I’m not 100% sure where what exactly has influenced her dialect haha
Thanks for the entertaining video! Some of those I've not heard of before. And Lillian, I think you could also qualify as a "boi".... I'm not very fond of the word butch as a descriptor, either.
All very educational, and I've been blitzing this type of content since officially separating from my hub. But tbh although I've stopped lying to myself and the denial is well and truly over, the whole lesbian scene feels utterly alien to me. Still love watching things about it tho!
Welcome, Kate. For your viewing enjoyment might I suggest the YT channel of Kristen McKenzie and Steph LeClair: ua-cam.com/channels/qiChQICTnBbKaCYlH_dqNw.htmlvideos as well as that of Rose Ellen Dix and Rosie Spaughton: ua-cam.com/users/RoseAndRosievideos

Omggggggg i just cant shake the fact that lilians face shape and he gestured her eye movements and even almost the speaking style is just like my elder cousin suster except lilian is soooo fair and white and my cousin sister is bit more dark
You two are stunning! My gosh ha. Perfect couple.
I’m a newly out lesbian so this is nice
Congrats!!

Those were great. I loved Beaver Dam.
I'm a gay man who came out at 21. Am I a HAG (homosexual after graduation) or a GAG (gay after graduation)?
Instead of Stone Butch, I've heard the term "touch-me-not"
I haven't heard of cliterference, just clam-jamming.
i have to admit i was almost only paying attention to Lilian's hands...damn they look gorgeous I'm jealous
