I'm a small town girl from New Jersey just trying to survive below the mason Dixon. I had always heard about the south and how it's way more conservative than up north. Growing up, I typically never ran into trouble with people when my sexual preference came up in conversation.

Moving to the south, I finally understood why some people have such a hard time with accepting who they really are. I've met a lot of great people in the beautiful Queen City (Charlotte, NC) and a lot of ignorant people. With that being said, in my opinion, here are 8 things every lesbian wants straight girls to know.

1. There are four stages of lesbians. This isn't a fact but it's an inside joke in the gay community.

Lipstick, Chapstick, Tom boy, and Butch

2. Just because I tell you that you have nice eyebrows or gorgeous eyes does not mean I want to have sex with you.

Like honestly, I know for a fact that not EVERY straight girl finds EVERY boy attractive. Well, surprise surprise, not EVERY lesbian finds EVERY girl attractive.

3. Lesbians typically don't like being introduced as the lesbian friend.

You wouldn't introduce your Asian friend as your Asian friend.

4. I'm a jeans expert at American Eagle.

So, it's my job to look at your ass in the fitting room and tell you it looks nice even if it doesn't.

5. PLOT TWIST: Nine out of 10 times when I'm in the locker room at the gym, I'm thinking about all the donuts I'm going to eat after my workout.

No part of me is checking you out in your extremely over priced Victoria's Secret workout gear.

6. "Oh, you don't look like a lesbian."

That isn't really a compliment or an insult. It's just one of those statements that no one really wants to hear.

7. Just because I'm a lesbian does not mean I play some dyke sport, dress from the boy section of Zumiez and wear snapbacks on the daily.

9/10 times you can catch me in a pair of jacks or converse, some preppy pastel shorts, and my letters.

8. PLEASE stop giving me your best Resting Bitch Face, sweetheart.

I'm not checking your boyfriend out. I promise, my girlfriend is better looking.
