As tens of THOUSANDS of women turn to it as the ultimate guide for figuring out their own preferences. A woman who created a 30-page Google Doc about lesbianism while questioning her own sexuality has amassed tens of thousands of online fans who credit her 'Am I a Lesbian' guide with helping them to navigate their own preferences. Angeli Luz, 21, anonymously published a link to the public document for 'questioning lesbians' in a Tumblr post using the handle @cyberlesbian in January 2018. The 30-page text explores how societal conditioning can lead lesbians to have conflicting feelings and attraction toward men. 'I realized I loved women when I was a teenager, but I never quite knew if my attraction for men was real or a social construct I took in as a facet of my identity,' Luz told Vice. Reflection: The 30-page text begins with a section explaining compulsory heterosexuality, the idea that heterosexuality is ingrained from birth by a patriarchal and heteronormative society. 'I started researching compulsory heterosexuality and found that many lesbians had the same experiences I did. I created the document as a tool of self-reflection for myself and others.' It took Luz two days to write the document, which has received more than 30,000 notes on Tumblr.

In the section, Luz explains that women are 'taught from a very early age' that it is their job to please men and fall in love with them.
