let people label themselves how they want. labels are helpful for some people and feel constricting for others. if someone says they’re a transmasc lesbian, cool. it’s not hurting anyone

People who say trans men can be lesbians don’t view them as men

If your upset about trans men SELF IDENTIFYING as lesbians you are not ready for what people in the lgbt community called themselves just a few decades ago.

Because a lesbian can be anyone who isn’t a cis man and identifies with the lesbian experience. It’s not complicated.

dawg if you wanna be labeled a lesbian just accept that you’re a masculine woman. lesbians are WOMEN who love WOMEN, there’s no ifs or buts about it. you just simply can’t consider yourself a man and lesbian at the same time, that makes you straight and there’s nothing wrong w it

as a trans guy i genuinely don’t see why “lesboys” is even a debate in the lgbt community. you cannot be a guy who likes women and consider yourself lesbian, that’s against the entire term. stop being so afraid to say you’re straight

and honestly it’s dehumanizing to both trans guys and lesbians. there’s only experience i’ve had where people call me lesbian is if they can’t accept that i’m trans. And i’m sure for lesbians it’s almost as if you’re trying to erase them and what they stand for completely by trying to insert yourself into their space. if i’m being honest you sound chronically online, there isn’t tiers to being queer and you aren’t getting any coolness points from how many umbrellas you can fit yourself under

dude shut up. you don’t need to argue over this, it’s fucking done. what cis straight man is labelling himself a lesbian if he doesn’t have something else going on that contributes to that? wouldn’t that be a conversation to talk to him about something potentially going on with his gender, if he’s genuinely identifying that way? seriously, how is this effecting you? asking as a transmasc lesbian, who has never had it impact him negatively

no genuinely! it doesn’t matter! you don’t know why they identify that way, so why harass them over it?

Labels aren’t a neat little category system that’s rigid and unchangeable. They’re literally about feeling comfortable with your identity

tell me you’ve never been in a real queer space in your life without telling me. why aren’t you stopping and asking “hmm why does this person identify this way?” in a genuine tone instead of instantly jumping to lateral transphobia?

brother you just literally can’t identify as both lesbian and a man I don’t care what their reasoning for seeing themself as a “lesboy” is. that’s like me identifying myself as gay and homophobic at the same time. one literally goes against what the other stands for

This. But they are going on about levels to queerness. Validating a gender identity also means acknowledging there are gender relevant sexualities that dont apply to you and that’s fine. I agree 100%

it’s because at a certain point it invalidates the identity they are taking… like there’s so many trans men claiming to be lesbians. you cannot have your cake and eat it too😭 this person is right

sure if one person does it, but this many people it’s harmful and damaging to people who actually are those identities

if someone else’s choice of label is invalidating to you, that says more about you than it does them. it’s not your business. the whole “there’s so many wahhh wahhh wahhh” complaining really solidifies that this is a you problem. do better.

my example will always be if a woman tries to defend her lesbian sexuality and then someone says “oh well this person says they are a man and goes by he/him so it’s all ridiculous, fake and makes no sense” idk it just makes things so confusing, but i’m trying to learn more abt sexualities and queer identities so idfk

people who speak that way about lesser known queer identities probably aren’t going to be accepting of queer people to begin with. you don’t need to defend your identity to other people anyway
