Never done it, so I don't know, but I don't understand why people have to have a "role" and stick to it. Couldn't they be on top one time, then switch to being on the bottom later on? It doesn't seem hard.
Of course, and many people do.
Do you mean you just like to be
positioned on top as a female bodied person for purely mechanical anatomical reasons, or are you claiming all the other junk that goes with it too?
I think it depends. Ideally, and especially in view of lots of LGBT+ politics, I'd prefer versatility / switch. Because then we are just people. Equal. There is no other subtext going on. This sort of "roles" thing going from sex to relationships seems to reinforce all kinds of unhelpful attitudes if you ask me - sort of like people asking a lesbian couple "who's the man and who's the woman?"
They're both women. That's the point. They associate "top" with "masculine" and "bottom" with "feminine."
Then you get all the other sexist gendered nonsense - men are dominant and women are submissive, men are active and women are passive, and if you're talking gay male couples, some guys start seeing their role as "top" in terms of relationship dominance - they control their partner, they're in charge, and he must submit and obey. That's edging on domestic violence.
Personally it's changeable - when I was younger I tended to be bottom in every way, because my partners at the time were older and more experienced than I, and I really didn't know what to do so I let them take over. I was down there taking notes.
Later on when I was involved with a woman who was more inexperienced than I was, I assumed top because she similarly didn't know how to "do" sex.
Depends on what you like - I must say I do not like being penetrated. I will do the penetrating if that's what my partner (male or female) enjoys, but of course, penetration is not all there is to sex, especially if your partner is a queer woman.
