LGBTQIA+ on Sidechat | Odd question, is there a label for women who only like other women?? I thought it was lesbian but that includes non-binary people now and I want something that’s actually accurate to me. I’m not into anyone who’s not a woman. I feel a little bitter (1/2)

Lesbian is the label you are looking for and as a transmasc lesbian its okay if you only are into women, but the bitterness is something you are going to have to work on. Sharing space with gnc lesbians is not the same as non women invading womens spaces.

I feel a little bitter about the lesbian label including non-binary and transmascs when gay men doesn’t include transfems or anything, I feel like women can’t have anything just for us. I know this mindset is harmful and I’m working on it but I had to get it off my chest.

Men cannot be lesbians. I’m sorry the label has been so diluted that it doesn’t feel like it means anything anymore.

I think the closest is gynophile that I can think of, it's more about the biologics so however you feel about that side of things?

And as a personal anecdote i used to be a girl, but in many ways was denied girlhood because of my lesbian identity. Thats not the reason that im gnc but i know that is a common shared experience among lesbians and the gender implications of being a masc lesbian in general

I suppose you’re right. I just wish women loving only women had a label too. It’s a bit tiring having to clarify that I only like women to other lesbians who sometimes expect me to be attracted to non-women. Thank you for the advice, I’m going to work on my mindset.

I never want to exclude anyone or go against historical queer culture but I wish calling myself a lesbian still meant people assumed I only liked girls, you know?
