trans women are women so yes they can

queerness is too messy for everyone to be forced into neat little boxes and therefore policing it is a silly thing to do

with trans men, it's a complicated topic but i've boiled it down to: it's their identity and not mine and policing that is ridiculous there's a bunch of online discourse you can look through if you want to have an opinion and hear what others have to say

Yes. And yes.

the only time i think a label would be weird is like a lesbian exclusively dating men or vincian exclusively dating women

Trans men are not women. Men, by definition, cannot be lesbians

i think trans men can, especially since they have been raised as a woman and can have a real connection to lesbianhood to me this feels like an "anybody but cis men" type of thing, but, once again, policing identities is a little silly creating boxes and then forcing yourself to fit in them and then getting mad when others don't feels weird to me

U know anything ab lesbian history? Like obv many if not most arent lesbians but if bro chooses to define his relationship through the lens of sapphic attraction who is anyone to tell him he cant. It doesnt invalidate or dilute the label its just another way lesbians operate outside of cisheteronormative dynamics
