For the last time Bi women who are cis non-binary or trans (not to some arbitrary standard of socialization that’s ‘passing’ either) are WLW. Arbitrary gatekeeping by repulsion toward certain genitalia is cruel exclusionary and unnecessary A lot of the ‘elder lesbians’ used
as strawmen have been the loved ones as well as activist partners with whom Bi wlw have shared lives and solidarity with for generations. And precluding Bi wlw from conversations of the physical/emotional/sexual/narratives traumas inflicted by cis men is also unhelpful.
To clarify I am NO arbiter of closed spaces. I think if people find spaces helpful and they’re willing to organize etc then that’s their agency and like...not my space not my problem. I just think calling bisexuals and particularly non-binary people transphobic is deeply hurtful
Oh also some gold star folks need to realize That cultural differences are also massive arbiters to their gold starriness? I know heteronormativity exists everywhere But growing up in Asian communities as a first gen migrant there’s almost NO HOPE IN HELL that
you could discover you’re a lesbian without having had some form of sexual interaction with a man and certainly have a LONG process of unconditioning the social impetus to form romantic or emotional relationships (in a coerced or consensual dynamic) exclusively with men.
This happens to some degree in all societies around the world. I realize that. But I implore you to understand that a ‘gold standard’ or even saying you’re open to ‘questioning lesbians’ is an incredibly harsh and often culturally myopic gatekeeping stance So even if people
do only consensually and enthusiastically engage with women intimately and in relationships in private it’s endangering to them to expect a declaration of any degree of ‘exclusive lesbian’ interest.
And if you’re setting a bar of ‘bravery’ for socioeconomic and community endangerment as a condition for joining your spaces - that’s your call But it’s either a highly risky group and/or reserved for a very select ‘image’ in your head of what a wlw let alone lesbian looks like.

Maybe it’s just cos my close friends happen to be the intertwined communities
of ‘older’ Bi+ folks and lesbians after the last Tri Annual Gold Star Discourse
But I like this tl;dr by @Funovan -
