”Lesboys are invading lesbian spaces!” Oh the horror! It’s not like Lesbian Airlines P. S. S. Y. is running out of seats. Chill, Samantha.

let women be butch. let women be feminine. regardless of if they're trans or cis, both or neither, let women present how they feel most comfortable without worrying for their safety, or whether they're 'enforcing gender norms'.

trans butch women aren't 'not trying hard enough' and feminine trans women aren't 'mocking womanhood', they're just expressing in a way that's most comfortable like cis women are.

—“I’m a transgender woman and a tomboy. What’s the harm?” by Kaylin Hamilton

after i came out as bi initially in my early 20s i suddenly began to question myself because i only found "Certain" women attractive. i began to doubt myself because on average i found myself being attracted to more men than women, and after some pressuring and bullying from my friends, i decided to identify as a strictly gay man instead for quite some time. and while i still AM a gay man and experience attraction to men & people in an achillean way, this did not change the fact that i still experienced attraction to women, and other people, for that matter.

after i got in touch with the lesbian community, this changed entirely. what i realized was that i'm not attracted to white cisheteronormative conventional beauty- what people tell us is beautiful about women is not what i find attractive. i find women who are willing to be themselves no matter what to be hot. i find women who don't care if they have big noses, crooked or missing teeth, strong jaws, facial/body hair, broad chests and shoulders, small or no breasts, narrow hips, fat rolls and big muscles attractive. i find women who embrace who they are to be attractive. and i especially find butch, gender non conforming, genderqueer and trans women attractive

it shouldn't matter what a woman looks like, but i've found that as i age, i like the way women look naturally. no matter if they're cis, trans, intersex, perisex, genderqueer or something else- womanhood itself is attractive. womanhood is a diverse and varied thing that deserves to be enjoyed and celebrated in its diversity. i couldn't put my finger on it, but while there are many conventionally attractive women i definitely find cute, the way that cisheteronormative white society defines what an "attractive" woman looks like just doesn't line up with how diverse and attractive women can be

there's nothing wrong with women who want to dress and look the way we deem what female beauty "should" look like. whether the person is insecure or just likes that look, this is an okay thing- we should never pressure or shame women who want to adhere to these aesthetics and concepts. and it's not a woman's job to be attractive for me, or anyone else. but i came back to accepting that i was bisexual once i realized that the diversity in womanhood is exactly what i love about and find attractive in women.

i love how diverse womanhood is. i love how unique and varied women can look, present and act. i DO love women and womanhood, i just had to allow myself to look beneath the surface and discover that there is much to love and find attractive in "ugly" women. humanity is too diverse to be shoved into narrow boxes of what defines attractiveness.

instead of obsessing over not centering men in lesbianism, you can just be a lesbian. ironically, all this 'non-man x non-man' and 'men can't be lesbians' shit centers men more than just acknowledging that, sometimes, men exist within lesbianism, and that doesn't mean that all lesbians must kiss men NOW.

When I finally accepted the fact i’m trans, I was scared i couldn’t identify as a lesbian anymore. I was so happy to learn about lesboys and boydykes, it’s really helped me feel comfortable in my identity :)

another reason why lesboys rule <3

To be fair, plenty of TERFs are lesbians and hold the lesbian separatist belief that lesbianism is the only 'moral' sexuality, which is to say only when said lesbian isn't tainted by manhood in any way. So they want us all to be lesbian cis women.

it's so funny to me how terfs want trans men to be butch lesbians so bad and then when we are, but still trans, they throw a fit. like you wanna tell us that we're 'confused butch lesbians' sooooooooo bad but then when we do turn out to be butch lesbians, but also transmasc/trans men, it's a problem. cis butch lesbians only!!! like do they want us here or not, because some of us are here and staying here regardless of whatever mental gymnastics they're performing over there.

they tell us we're confused and that we don't know what we want, but it is they who are confused and have no fucking clue what they want
