i asked this kind of question and people took it as me saying trans men lesbians or male-passing lesbians aren't valid 💔 like the people that will say "transmasc and he/him lesbians are fine but not trans MEN" like what if he uses he/him, passes as a man, maybe is even transitioning medically, would you tell him he's fine to be a lesbian, but someone who appears the exact same but calls himself a trans MAN rather than "trans MASC" can't be a lesbian? it's just dumbassery. let people exist.

As a lesbian, 100%. Transmasc lesbians get a lot of hate, but truly who gives a fuck. Use whatever label you like! Lesbian trans men have existed for ages, and have been so important to the queer community. I don’t get why people feel the need to police identities

Use whatever labels you want. What matters is that you’re comfortable and happy, not the small minded people who like to dictate what you do

i feel like the line is that you’re okay with people assuming you are not a binary man because you call yourself a lesbian, but i’m happy to be corrected /gen

if youre are more masculine leaning, i think a better label is straight, but if you like fluctuate then lesbian should be fine.

tbh i think a lot of that back and forth shit is stupid. call yourself what you want. you’re entitled to call yourself a lesbian!
