btw this is a safe space for contradictory labels... lesbian men, gay women, lesgays, lesboys..... I lvoe You.

"wait but how can that work ?" instead of asking how their queer identity works, and how can it be valid, maybe ask them their experiences. ask how it feels to themself being a mspec mono, or lesboy, or turigirl, or whatever. instead of getting angry at queer identities which dont fit your standard, just perhaps let it go and ask them as a person what their identity means to them. stop policing identities and open up your mind a little.

Supporting Lesboys means supporting:

1. Multigender Lesbian people using "Les" for their "Fem side" and "Boy" for their "Masc side"

2. GNC Women who like to be called "boy" for gender nonconformity

3. Trans Women and Transfems reclaiming being called a "boy"

4. Transmasc Lesbians reclaiming being called a "boy"

5. Trans Men who don't feel misgendered by the term "Lesbian" and/or feels like their attraction to women is still queer

6. He/Him lesbians reclaiming being called a "boy"

Support all of them, or support none of them.

YOU use contradictory labels (has this been done yet?)

YOU use contradictory labels!

[tgirlmouse]

i don't feel nearly as ashamed or hesitant to talk about my queer tgirl attraction to men as my tguy brothers would feel talking about their attraction to women

obligatory "if you're a trans guy and your attraction to women is het, that's real and okay! your trans experience isn't a monolith and other trans people being different doesn't make you different or wrong"

like, think about it: hardly anyone bats an eye when a tgirl uses grindr or calls herself a faggot, but as soon as a man calls himself a lesbian, everyone gets on his ass. anything for an excuse to shit on lesbians, i guess. it makes me angry that nobody sees this hypocrisy or these ties back to the lesbian separatism that infected the community post-70s. it's not gone, it never went away

this isn't exactly profound news to anyone who gives a shit about lesbian history. just something i find interesting

”be who you are!” Mfs when they see someone being who they are:

Here's your sign to let your identity flow peacefully outside the box. Your personality is just a concept so it makes sense that your identity doesn't completely fit any man made constructs, and that's OK!! You don't have to use labels, or you can use them all!! You can use a label just because it feels just a little like you. You can use labels even if they contradict each other. You can let your identity pour out any social standard, and just exist, exist as it is fully and freely. We are all such complex creatures, living life as it is. As long as you aren't causing harm, just let yourself be YOURSELF!!

'trans men have the lesbian label forced on them when they're heterosexual' and 'trans men can be lesbians' are concepts that do coexist. The point here, for anyone who may have missed it, is that identity is up to the individual and not what someone else decides for them, which includes forcing a trans man to identify as straight when they don't identify as such. You cannot be willing to dismantle the expectations of sex and gender without the will to let go of your little rules to sexuality. Things just happen that don't fit preconceived boxes, get over it.

CONTRADICTIM: A term for anyone who uses contradictory labels and terms. Anyone may use this label, as long as they use it in good faith.

I used a Dove as a symbol to represent freedom in identity and self expression.
