I'm not claiming I know more than you lol I'm saying what I think and you're saying what you think. Idk why you're trying to convince me of something when I've made it very clear that my position is too much nuance takes away from the actual meaning of the word. I'm talking about lesbians being people who like women exclusively and you're talking about nonbinary people. Nonbinary people are not women! This conversation was never even about nonbinary people idek why this rabbit hole is happening
I'm not "insisting" anything I'm stating that it's an oxymoron. And that wouldn't have even come up if the conversation remained about the post. I literally don't even care to be debating about nonbinary people lol be whatever you want just if you're not a woman, the person dating you is not a lesbian
I go into lesbian spaces all the time lol I don't care if any and all sapphics are in lesbian spaces but sapphic and lesbian aren't interchangeable terms. Idk a more specific term than sapphic for someone who dates women and nonbinary people, but lesbians only date women. You're talking about community and your existence and I'm literally just talking about out words and definitions
Well you are sapphic, it is an umbrella term for wlw and again, you can call yourself whatever you want lol I'm not trying to define your life I'm just saying what a lesbian is. If you disagree, that's your prerogative, repeating over and over that you disagree isn't gonna make me agree
It’s distressing me the same way a transphobe saying I’m not actually trans and just delusional is distressing. Do you not understand that when people say things that imply you’re faking your identity and are just “confused” it’s offensive?? If someone told you you aren’t really a lesbian and there’s a man out there for you, wouldn’t you be offended?
I wonder why they’re in your dms and not commenting? Maybe they know they’re gonna get flamed for believing something that’s literally not true? Nonbinary people have been and will always be a part of the lesbian community, just as they are a part of the gay community. You personally don’t need to date or feel attracted to us, but by definition, lesbians and gays can be attracted to nonbinary individuals.
People who call themselves lesbians can be attracted to nonbinary people but unless you see nonbinary people as women (problematic) then you're not actually a lesbian when you date them. You can keep arguing until you're blue in the face, my stance is it's okay to not be a lesbian lol if you date people who aren't women then you're not a lesbian. You're hanging onto a label for dear life when you really don't need to. It's not about true or untrue, it's beliefs and opinions
It doesn't imply you're faking an identity or that you're confused, it straightforwardly is just we disagree fundamentally on what it means to be a lesbian. I don't think you're confused or faking, I think you've thought about this a lot and you're legit lol according to how you define lesbian, you're a lesbian sure, I just don't define it the same way. Sapphic yes Queer yes lesbian no. That's my opinion, you have yours. And I never said there's a man out there for you lmao
Like why are you talking about men lmao they literally have zero to do with this conversation. If someone said I'm not a lesbian because I was dating people who aren't women, I would agree. Commentary based on things you actually do is different than commentary based on an imagined hypothetical lol says "you're not a lesbian because there's a man out there for you" is imagined, "you're not a lesbian because you date people who aren't women" is observational
