How is it TERF rhetoric to claim straight trans MEN are not lesbians? TERFs believe trans men are women so they would agree that yes, you are a lesbian. Y'all use TERF as a word to shame and silence lesbians and other women.
Either you think trans men are men and that men can be lesbians and you're a homophobe or you think trans men are not men and you are a transphobe. No wall of text or gender studies course will change this fact.
No one is policing how you "identify" you can "identify" as whatever you want, no one can stop you from lying. I can do it right now, I identify as a selfless and good billionaire, I'm so queer, look at my contradictory identity!!!
You can identify as something that doesn't exist. But don't be mad when people call you silly and dumb for your silly and dumb identity. Don't be mad when people who belong to the identities you appropriate treat you with scorn.
Stop queersplaining what being a lesbian is "about" to people for people who are so against boxes you love doing that shit! Being a lesbian isn't "about" anything just like being Mexican isn't about anything it is just a descriptor, nothing more nothing less. It describes homosexual women. That's it.
Stop gaslighting lesbians into accepting this bullshit, stop telling us to "look inside ourselves" and think the sky is green and the grass is blue. Why don't you look OUTSIDE yourself for once, stop naval-gazing, realize you aren't the special main character, get another fucking hobby besides queer theory and micro-label inventing, and stop embarrassing and disrespecting actual lesbians and trans men.
the first lesbian i ever knew irl when i was younger was my moms friend who was an ftm lesbian, who did not identify as a woman in any way but fully identified as a lesbian, and was in a triad with two women who fully accepted him for who he was.
we have been around for a long time, and will continue to be here long after you immature box obsessed baby queers have burned out. being a lesbian is about loving women and being queer, if you can't understand that congratulations on drinking the terf juice.
also its okay to be wrong as long as you don't fucking double down when confronted with the facts like. if you see this post and want to actually interact in good faith with bi or mspec lesbians and lesbians who dont identify as women or "woman-lite", then please do! that's the mature response!
i just want yall to look inside yourselves and really try to figure out why you feel like you should have control over how other people identify. thats the opposite of what being queer means, and i'm not even angry at people who think this way it legitimately just makes me sad?
