![]() I cannot speak for others, but I can speak for myself, and I can draw from and analyse Nagata’s own experience, which she details in this autobiographical series. Furthermore, it would be presumptuous of me to suggest that having a certain experience automatically means a person is simultaneously experiencing loneliness. In these blog posts, I will not be covering intersectional experiences other than my own, that contribute to lesbian loneliness, as I believe loneliness is an incredibly individualistic experience. I want to highlight the ways in which not only mental illness, which is covered in detail in the series, but conditions such as autism, can contribute to “lesbian loneliness”. ![]() ![]() However, I wish to add my own spin on this. ![]() ![]() I will be drawing heavily from Nagata’s narrative, including quotes, and ideas directly from the manga artist and writer herself. The inspiration for these posts comes from Nagata Kabi’s graphic novel/manga My Lesbian Experience with Lonelinessand her two-part sequel series My Solo Exchange Diary(volumes one and two). Over the next few weeks I am going to write a three-part series on lesbian loneliness. ![]()
