It’s just the concept that the pronouns someone likes doesn’t directly correlate to what gender they feel they are, ik of masc lesbians that are comfortable with he/him pronouns but they don’t actually feel like a guy

Does this apply to trans men identifying as lesbians as well?

People are able to comprehend drag queens identifying as gay men but using she/her, but can’t seem to comprehend the opposite

It doesn’t seem like it based off some of the comments talking about pronouns not always equaling gender😭 I’m not coming at anyone, I’m just curious if this was specific or more general

I made no comment about whether this happens irl or not and I’m not even commenting on my personal opinion on it. Just curious the specificity of this post.

trans men cant identify as lesbians because they are men. however, transmasculine lesbians are lesbians because their masculinity itsnt tied to their gender identity.

I totally agree and I’m tired of being treated like I’m insane for thinking it’s invalidating for both identities for a MAN to call himself a lesbian. transmasculine lesbians: gender-nonconforming, leaning toward masculine presentation. not a man. can be lesbian trans men: not a lesbian because MEN are not lesbians

im asking this out of genuine confusion/curiosity & not malice. i always thought the definition of lesbian was a woman who likes other women. so someone who identifies as non-binary & uses they/them pronouns or views themselves in a way other than being a woman wouldnt use the term lesbian as much as they would simply queer or smth right? but yall r saying smth diff so now im confused🫤

imo labels' meanings are always changing and can have different feelings for different people. i'm a transman, and i AM a man, but i still have parts of my identity rooted in being afab and raised female. that doesn't make me less of a man, just queer. so i can see how someone in my similar position (transmasc or transman) who's attracted solely to women could be more comfortable with the label "lesbian" than "straight," esp since "straight" can have a non- or anti-queer connotation.
