pronouns =\= gender. they’re disconnected, so the idea is usually that lesbians, who are women or nonbinary, feel more identified w those pronouns.

he/him are just pronouns they don't have anything to do with gender. so you can just be a lesbian and go by he/him pronouns

pronouns are one part of gender expression, so someone might use he/him pronouns to express/acknowledge their masculinity while also still identifying as a lesbian/woman/nonbinary etc

tysm this genuinely helped it make the most sense to me! i was just genuinely curious and wanted to educate myself (which is ironic being lgbt)

Am I not allowed to be annoyed that this same conversation happens here every single week?

Yes, but every single week this same question gets posted and it gets tiring to see/explain over and over. There are other resources

I’m happy to explain it once or twice, but it’s been asked so often in THIS ONE SPECIFIC GROUP, for almost a year at this point. I’m allowed to be upset that yall don’t just google it
