    Try to find out why people perceive you as a lesbian. Decide whether you think this is not accurate.

    Recognize that accusations of lesbianism are one way that straight men pressure women into conforming to gender stereotypes and making themselves sexually available. You can be straight and choose to say no to any man you are uninterested in.

    Don't change your behavior or personality to "convince" anyone. Girls are completely entitled to be loud, aggressive, athletic, and intelligent, no matter who they are attractive to. Girls can say yes or no to any man at any time for any reason.

    If you are interested in someone, let them know. If you are not interested, let them know. Be kind but clear in your reasons.

    If someone talks to you about being a lesbian, have a ready reply for them. Something like, "If I were, there would be nothing wrong with that," or "People are people, gender shouldn't matter just like race, money, etc. shouldn't matter," However, having a ready reply can also backfire with the risk that people think,"Wow, that was really fast for someone who isn't hiding the fact that they are a lesbian".

    If you are not a lesbian and don't want people thinking you are, let them know you are straight in a non-homophobic manner.

EditTips

  • If someone thinks you're unavailable because you're a lesbian, correct them and let them know the real reasons you are not interested in them.
  • Communicate clearly when you are not interested in someone.
  • If someone calls you a lesbian or makes a comment, let them know you are not a lesbian. Homophobia is unacceptable, whether mistaken or not.

EditWarnings

  • Don't let the lesbian jokes and comments get to you. Move on.
  • This problem exists because men are unable to accept a woman's lack of interest in them. They make excuses and attack women with charges of lesbianism. A heterosexual woman has the right to say no to any man she is not interested in.
  • Remember that the problem is not that lesbians exist, but that the boy who wants to be with you is making excuses for your non-availability. It is perfectly acceptable to communicate why you are not interested in a particular boy.
  • Be careful not to insult your friends in this process.
  • In responding to the rumor, don't contribute to homophobia.
