关于女同性恋的十个谣传（中英双语）
【Top 10 Myths About Lesbians】
1. All lesbians hate men.
Fact: It's a myth that all lebsians hate men. The fact that a woman is sexually and emotionally attracted to another woman has absolutely nothing to do with men. Most lesbians carry on long-lasting and emotionally satisfying friendships with men.
1. 所有的女同性恋都恨男人
事实：这完全是一种谣传。一个女人在性和情感上被另外一个女人所吸引这个事实和男人一点关系都没有。大多数女同性恋都可以和男人保持长青的友谊。
2. Some lesbians want to be men.
Fact: Lesbians who appear more masculine do so for fashion or comfort. There is a wide variety of gender expression in both men and women regardless of sexual orientation. A person seeking to change their sex is called a transsexual.
2. 有一些女同性恋想成为男人
事实：有些女同性恋喜欢打扮得男性化一点是为了舒适和时髦。不管性取向如何，男人和女人中都有喜欢将自己打扮成异性的人。想要改变自己性别的人叫做“变性人”。
3. You can't know if you are a lesbian unless you sleep with a woman.
Fact: This myth about lesbains is simply untrue. You do not have to sleep with someone in order to know you are attracted to them. The same holds true for heterosexuals. Discovering your sexuality is not about sleeping with someone.
3. 除非你和女人睡过，否则你没办法知道自己是不是女同性恋
事实：这条谣传根本就是错的。你不需要跟女人睡了才知道你喜欢女人（或男人）。对于异性恋来说也是一样。发现你的性取向并不需要和某人睡过才知道。
4. Lesbians are attracted to all women.
Fact: If a person is attracted to one specific gender this does not mean that they are attracted to all members of that gender. This is true for both men and women, regardless of which gender they are attracted to.
4. 女同性恋什么女人都喜欢
事实： 如果有人喜欢男性或者女性，并不意味着他们喜欢每一个男人或者每一个女人。这对于男人和女人来说都是如此，不管他们喜欢的是哪个性别。
5. Being a lesbian is a choice and can be changed.
More and more studies are finding that sexual orientation is not something chosen, rather it's an inborn trait found in most animal species. There is plenty of evidence that therapy and counseling to "make someone straight" is ineffective.
5. 做女同性恋是一种选择，并且可以改变
越来越多的研究证明，性取向并不是一种可以自由选择的东西，而是大多数动物身上出生的时候就带有的一种特征。大量的证据表示那些所谓的“让人变直”的疗程和心理治疗是无效的。
6. Lesbian relationships are all about sex.
Fact: Sex is an important aspect of any healthy relationship, but not the only aspect. Lesbians connect on an emotional and spiritual level, and like heterosexual couples can choose whether or not to have families and children. (Kids with Lesbian Parents Do Just Fine) Sex has nothing to do with this aspect of the relationship. (Info on lesbian sexual health)
6. 女同性恋的关系里只有性
事实：性是任何健康的恋爱关系中重要的成分，但是并不是全部。女同性恋者在情绪和精神的层面上相互沟通，就像异性恋伴侣可以选择是否想要家庭和孩子一样。（女同性恋家庭里长大的孩子也很正常。）性在这方面一点都不影响到恋爱关系本身。
7. Lesbians just haven't met the right man yet.
Lesbianism has nothing to do with men, many lesbians have not met the right woman yet, but again it has nothing to do with men.
7. 女人做同性恋不过是因为还么有遇到真命天子
做女同性恋与男人一点关系都没有，很多女同性恋只是还没有遇到真命天女而已，然而这还是和男人一点关系都没有。
8. You can tell a lesbian by how she looks.
Fact: Some homosexuals claim to have what is referred to as "gaydar". This is nothing more than an intuition regarding another persons' sexuality. Based on the fact that some people are still in the closet, there is really no way to know this.
8. 你一看就知道某人是不是女同性恋
事实： 有些同性恋者将这称为“同性恋雷达”。这不过是一种对于他人性向的直觉罢了。因为有些人仍然没有出柜（承认自己是同性恋），靠看其实根本看不出来。
9. One lesbian in the relationship has to be "the man".
Fact: While there are lesbian couples that are butch/femme, both partners are clearly women. Butch/femme is not the only kind of relationship for lesbians, but most women may prefer no kind of labeling at all as this generalizes them.
9. 女同性恋关系中必须有一个人是“男方”
事实：有些女同性恋中有男方、女方的差别（大陆和台湾称为T和P），但是双方都明显是女人。有男性和女性角色分别的关系只是女同性恋关系中的一种，但是大多数女人宁愿没有这种分别，因为这让他们过于流俗了。
10. Lesbians can't be spiritual.
Fact: While some denominations consider homosexuality a sin, there are many faiths and churches that accept all humans regardless of any differences. Spirituality is a personal belief system that has nothing to do with organized practices or sexual preferences.
These myths about lesbians are just that - myths. As with any genre of myths, there's the appearance of truth and so some people believe them. Now that you have the facts about these lesbian myths, you can debunk them the next time you hear someone repeat them.
10. 女同性恋没有精神生活
事实：虽然主流社会认为同性恋是一种罪恶，但是又很多信仰和教堂无差别地接受各种人。精神生活是一个人的信仰系统，这与性取向毫无关系。
